Hogwarts and The Sorting Ceremony

"Marcus, always take care of yourself, don't forget to eat your breakfast and your lunch and also your dinner!..." said mother with a worried face and

"Alright Mother, don't you worry, I will not forget, I have to leave now or I will miss the train" I said with a light smile

"Alright Narcissa, let the boy go" said father as my mother was hugging me

.....

when I entered the train, I went to the first empty cabinet I saw, and there was a lot of them, something I also noticed was, their isn't many students this year, even the senior students are not that many, it must be because of the war that happened a few years ago, as I heard from my father, there was a lot of Wizarding families that was destroyed or fled the country to avoid the war.

.....

after several hours, we arrived at our destination, when I got out of the train, I saw a Gaint man talking with a thick accent to the students, at first, I thought he was some kind of a magical creature, but when I saw the older students talking to him and greeting him, I figured he was part of the staff,

he lead us to the lake where there was a dozens of small boats, and said, four students for every boat, when I sat down in the boat, I saw three students heading my way, and it's certainly surprised me as they were the Weasley twins, and another pretty boy who I don't know, as they sat in, they pretty boy spoke,

"Hi, I'm Cedric Diggory, what's your name?" said the pretty boy with a smile while trying to sit on the boat

"Marcus Malfoy, nice to meet you" I said with a calm and clear voice

He seemed a bit shocked when he heard my name, then he quickly turned his face to the twins and greeted them, obviously trying to avoid me

the twins who already sat down and were listing to us, spoke to me

"I don't think we introduced ourselves well, last time we saw you, I'm Fred Weasley," "and I'm George"

"nice to meet you" I said quickly to them, then I turned my face to see the castle as I didn't want to continue talking with those two twins because I detected an ill intent from their eyes, that's what my assassin experience taught me, to always detect emotions on the target face, voice, and even movement!, and I guess these two are planning to make trouble for me, but I already saw through them!, when they saw I didn't give them any attention they stop caring about talking to me and just sat down in silence while watching the castle.

....

when I arrived to the castle, an old woman was waiting for us at the entrance,

"Hello everyone, I want to welcome you to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, my name is Prof. Mcgonagall,

The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory, and spend free time in your house common room.

"The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rulebreaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours.

when we went inside, I saw a spectacular sight!, it was as I read it in the library, the ceiling was truly magical!, and there was flying candles every where and a lot of food and I mean a Lot!, the air in there was truly magical,

then Prof. Mcgonagall stopped and said to us while holding a long roll of parchment.

"When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted," she said

"Diggory Cedric"

....

"Weasley Fred"

....

"Davies Roger"

....

"Malfoy Marcus"

when she said my name, Silence Dominated the great hall, the Students at the Slytherin table had an anticipated look on their faces, as for the Gryffindores and Hufflepuffs, they were Frowning and looking at me with weary eyes, Ravenclaws Students stayed Neutral but they still looked at me with interest in their eyes, this was helpless situation, after all, my family is Famous in the Wizarding world and my father was a known second Hand of the Dark Lord, most of the students in Slytherin were sons of Death Eaters!, as for Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, their parents were with the opossing forces, most of the Ravenclaw Parents remained Neutral, but some of them joined the Death eater and some joined the other side, so I understand why they are acting like this, and I should use this Hatred and Support to good use.

when the Prof put the hat on my head, it spoke inside my mind!,

"Well well, you certainly have a strong mentality, anyone who heard me talking inside their head for the first time would be shocked or Surprised, or even give at least any sort of reaction, but that's not important right now" then the hat Stopped talking

...

after a moment, the hat spoke again in my mind, "well, from what I see, you would definitely not succeed in Hufflepuff, your are too Ruthless and Disloyal, but you have a bright mind even though it's not creative enough to be in Ravenclaw, it well however do good in there, Also you have limitless Courage to the range of being Suicidal!, but you have no care to good morals, and honor, so Gryffindor wouldn't be the place for you, you are too Ruthless, Courageous beyond imagination, witty, and resourceful, Slytherin would be the best choice for you, but what do you want?, Ravenclaw would be your second best choice to choose, but the choice us yours" said the hat

(my Father and my whole family were Slytherin, and most importantly, I'm hated by two houses in this school, I need to join Slytherin without a doubt!, even though the Students there are a lot less than Ravenclaw because of the recent war, they will however support me fully against those two houses, and they are more united than Ravenclaw)

with a confidant and a calm voice, I said to the hat "Slythrin"

"SLYTHERIN" said the hat with a laud voice.

the Slytherin table Shook with Cheering and Laud voices, they received me with a huge welcome

as for the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff Tables, they just saw me with weariness and ill intent in their eyes, Ravenclaws were the same as usual except for a few students.

at the end of the ceremony, the old Wizard, Dumbledore, welcomed us and warned us about places we shouldn't go to, and lastly he wished us a Fruitful year

this will be a long year I will have to take.
