21 Ch 21 : Harry Potter? Are you sure?

As the new first years came into the hall, Logan was watching them closely and looking for Harry, none so looked like it would be him, that was until near the end there was one boy that was separated from his peers, he had short blackish hair and it looked very wild, on his face he had a set of modern looking glasses that fit his face well.

It was definitely Harry Potter, Logan would remember that messy hair anywhere he thought to himself and it looked like Harry had actually eaten real food since Logan had last saw him, completely different to the underfeed little boy with broken glasses and clothes three sizes too big for him that he had made a deal with all those years ago on 4 Privet Drive.

He was now filling out his clothes properly and it seemed that most of the damage the Dursley's had done to him had been reversed which was a good and bad sign, and how it would turn out completely depended on whether Dumbledore was going to do something to get the easily manipulated chosen child he always wanted back, the very one he wanted by putting Harry with the Dursley's who he knew would break and beat him down so badly that he would latch onto the first person that showed any compassion, from then he would be able to build up into his sacrificial pawn that would be willing to die to kill Voldemort just like he wanted so that he could then take his place, once again, at the top of the pile as the leader of the light, Dumbledore thought to himself with a smile that unnerved Harry when he caught him being looked at out the corner of his eye.

'Why's that old guy looking at me just like those child molesters I saw on those police programmes on the telly?' Harry thought as he sneakily moved so he was behind another first year so that Dumbledore wasn't able to directly see him and so Harry wouldn't have to see that perverted look that he was getting.

...

The sorting was slow and boring just like every time Logan had to sit through it, the twins would always bring up his sorting and how he upset the sorting hat so much because it couldn't read his mind, Logan secretly enjoyed their teasing even when outwardly he seemed annoyed with it, it was good to see his girls laughing and enjoying themselves when just a couple years ago they were so desperate to escape their situation at any cost.

"Slytherin!" The sorting hat shouted after only just touching the boys head that it was just put on, the boy in question had slink-back white-blond hair and a sneer on his face that looked like he had practised it in the mirror, probably while also telling himself that he was the best.

'Malfoy Jr. huh? This should be fun.' Logan thought with a grin that showed his teeth, the passing blonde saw and stopped in fright but was able to keep on walking when he saw people looking at him just standing there.

After that small display mumbles and whispers spread through out the hall, things like, 'how much do you want to bet on Malfoy then? I say 4 teeth and a broken nose, oh, and only 3 or 4 broken fingers at most. What you say about 2 gallons?' or 'I bet that he's going to lose a whole hand with how proud he's trying to seem, White hates those types!'

Malfoy of course heard his name being said by those around him but when he looked around at those that he shared the table with, they just showed him looks of pity and some even showed amusement, he didn't like it what-so-ever but he quickly shook it off after thinking that they were all just talking about how great he was and that they were actually giving him looks of envy and were trying to hide it.

It soon became Harry's turn to sit in the tall chair and have the sorting hat placed on top of his head.

'I wonder where he will end up... '

...

'Well, well, well, what do we have here? Oh, a lot of courage, you'll do great things in Griffendor.'

'Not Griffendor, not Griffendor, not Griffendor.'

'Not Griffendor huh? But you'll do great things in Griffendor, I see that you are also filled with braveness as well, another one of old Godric houses qualities.'

'No, that's where that ungrateful ginger slob went and he reminds me to much of my relatives, plus I have a pet snake and a friend in Slytherin already, I'd rather be in that house.'

'Slytherin? Yes, yes~ I can also see that you would fit right in with those sneaky lot, one with your 'gifts' would do quite nicely in ...'

"Slytherin!!!" The sorting hat bellowed in a voice so loud that it filled the hall.

It shocked everyone in the hall but no was more shocked then Dumbledore and Snape, for one of them it meant his greatest enemy and most loved ones son was now in his house and for the other it meant that he was losing his sacrificial pawn more then he liked, it seemed that he would have to speed up his plan to get it back, it would all be for the greater good of course.

...

"Logan!" Harry called excitedly when he neared the third year section of the Slytherin table, the area directly around Logan was clear with only the twins sitting on either side of him and Harry didn't hesitate to sit across from them, when he did there was gasps and looks of shock with how brave Harry was, no one, literally no one directly tried to get on Logan's bad side before, some were already giving Harry the same looks of pity that they gave Malfoy.

They didn't know what to do when the saw that Logan actually did nothing when Harry sat down and if what those sitting the closest over heard, (read eavesdropping), it seems that Logan was actually happy to see him?!

What?! This made no sense?!

...

'Finally, the action will finally start, I was starting to get really board, even with the twins to keep me ... 'occupied', I can't wait to get my hands on that-

...

Cliff-hanger!!!
