Fanfiction: When Everything Goes Wrong
Hey guys! I...
Hey guys! I was just daydreaming about HP (As I do on a regular basis) and the most amazing fanfic idea popped into my head.
What if Draco Malfoy gets Sorted into a different House?!
It would be the most interesting to see him in the same House as Harry, so I chose Gryffindor. Read what I have so far!!!
“Malfoy, Draco!”
Draco strode forwards to the little stool and sat down, plopping the Sorting Hat onto his head. It dropped down over his eyes, blocking his vision. He smiled in the dark.
I’ll be in Slytherin, he thought happily. Just like the rest of my family. I shouldn’t worry. Slytherin is where I belong.
“Are you sure?” said a small voice into his ear. “I think that maybe--”
I want to be in Slytherin. Draco thought firmly. Slytherin.
“No.” answered the Hat. “I see courage in you . . . I want to to go to GRYFFINDOR!”
The Sorting Hat yelled that last word to the entire hall. There was a gasp from both the Slytherin and Gryffindor table.
“A Malfoy . . . in Gryffindor?!” a group of third years whispered loudly.
“Draco Malfoy belongs to us!” cried a a Slytherin.
“He must be the first in generations . . .”
Shocked, Draco lifted the hat from his head. Gryffindor? GRYFFINDOR?!
His father was going to be so disappointed . . .

Chapter 3
~Ron~
Malfoy? Malfoy?!
Had the boy sitting one person away from him just introduced himself as a MALFOY?
But . . . how had he gotten into Gryffindor? His family had been Slytherin for generations! And not to mention that the Malfoys hated the Weasleys! Ron had to calm himself before responding.
“Nice―nice to meet you.” he could tell that Malfoy―er, Draco―was feeling the same way. They stared awkwardly at each other for a few moments.
Suddenly, Harry clapped a hand to his forehead. “Ouch!”
“What is it?” Draco and Percy asked at the same time.
“N-nothing,” stammered Harry. Ron frowned.
~~~
After Dumbledore’s speech and the Hogwarts song (in which his brothers sang a funeral song to), Percy rounded up all of the Gryffindor first years to follow him. Ron, Harry, and Draco walked together, talking. Ron noticed that Draco seemed much less confident before he had put the Hat on. He spoke less, too.
“The Muggles I lived with were horrible. They locked me up in a closet, and their son Dudley was always taunting me. They blamed me whenever something went wrong!”
“Yeah, don’t you like wizards so much better? Magic is might.”
Ron sighed inwardly. Of course he has blood prejudice, he thought. Of course.

He should be there, where he was supposed to be. He shouldn’t be sitting with the Gryffindors.

what type of symbolism are you looking for?
(August 24, 2016 - 9:46 am)
If you guys want to know, the symbolism was when Draco and Harry shook hands. Remember, in the movies, how Draco held out his hand to Harry and Harry didn't take it?
(August 24, 2016 - 1:15 pm)
Ah, I see! So it's about prejudice? Malfoy still had the same reputation here, but he was sorted into Gryffindor, so Harry and Ron are more willing to ignore it. Is that correct?
Anyway, this is a really well-written story, Mei! I am looking forward to see what comes next.

Chapter 4
~Harry~
Harry lay in his new bed, staring up at the ceiling. He couldn’t believe that he had made his first friends! Ron Weasley seemed alright. So did Draco Malfoy.
But something seemed wrong between the two of them.
Harry recalled the way they had looked at each other. Had they known each other beforehand? Had they had some sort of dispute? And why had Draco kept on staring at the Slytherin table?
Harry drifted off to sleep, wondering about his friends and happy about his new home.
~~~
Or not?
~~~
Professor Quirrel’s turban felt tight on his head. It was talking to him, saying that he should transfer to Slytherin immediately. Harry refused, telling the turban he didn’t want to; it got heavier and heavier; Harry struggled, trying to pull it off but it squeezed his head painfully . . . and there were his friends, trying to help him but unable to reach, and then they turned into Snape, the hook-nosed teacher, whose laugh chilled cold and high . . . a burst of green light left Harry awake, sweating and shaking . . .
But then Harry fell asleep again, forgetting the dream completely.

Yeah, I'm thinking of writing a Slytherin Harry one, too. But not right now.

Guys, I have writer's block . . . Any ideas??
(October 2, 2016 - 7:45 am)
I usually just wait it out, drink some tea, take a walk, just get some hair into your lungs and brain.
Don't write or read or anything, just do some normal human thing, like eat a donut, or sew a bag, or talk with someone. That's what helps me :P
