Harry was taking his clothing out of his trunk and putting them away. His roommates Michael and Terry were busy doing the same. His other two roommates who introduced themselves as Simon Hurst and Sean Birkin had already finished unpacking and were reading their textbooks in preparation for their classes tomorrow. He heard a tapping on the window across from his bed and opened it. Hedwig flew in and landed neatly on her perch. "Dad must have just sent you here, huh girl?" Harry asked stroking Hedwig's head. He suddenly noticed the note attached to her leg and took it off. It was, not surprisingly, from his dad.

Harry,

I am very pleased you were sorted into Ravenclaw. I was not surprised either as your mum once told me that the Hat had given her the choice of Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. Sleep well and I will see you at breakfast tomorrow.

Love,

Dad

Harry smiled, folded the note and placed it in the drawer of his bedside table. His dad was the best! He got ready for bed as he was surprisingly tired. It had been an exciting day meeting new people and making new friends. His roommates seemed really nice and while they were curious about him being the Professor Snape's son, they didn't seem all that interested in Harry Potter, thankfully. He suspected the Gryffindors would have been bragging that he'd been sorted into their house. He wished his roommates a good night, got into bed and dosed his light.

The next morning Professor Flitwick led them down to breakfast in the Great Hall. Severus was waiting outside the doors having just escorted his snakes in. Filius nodded at Severus. "Professor, if you do not mind, may I speak to my son for a moment?"

"Not at all, Professor," Filius replied genially. He led the rest of the Ravenclaw first years into the Great Hall leaving Harry alone with his father. "Did you sleep well, Harry?" Severus asked.

"I slept good, dad. Ravenclaw Tower is so cool! Do you know that the entrance asks you a question and you have to give it the right answer before it lets you in? Have you ever been up there?"

"No, but perhaps you could give me a tour some time."

"My roommates are really nice too. I mean they don't give a hoot about Harry Potter."

"I suspected the Ravenclaw's would not care one way or the other that Harry Potter was sorted into their house so I was happy when you were sorted there."

"Thanks for the note you sent with Hedwig last night. Do you have time to talk with me today?

"Of course. Filius provided me with a copy of your schedule and Potions is your last class of the day so we can talk after that."

"Okay, Dad. I'll see you this afternoon in Potions,"

The Gryffindor first years were entering as Harry turned to leave. "Well, if isn't the snake traitor. Who would have thought Harry Potter would agree to be adopted by the Head Snake?" It was the same loud-mouthed red haired boy that had made the crack about Hermione last night. He was followed by two other Gryffindors Harry recognized as Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas.

"Why don't you shove it up your arse, Weaselby?" Draco snapped coming to stand beside Harry.

"You shove it, Malfoy. Your father's You-Know-Who's right hand man."

Severus came out again. "Mr. Malfoy, return to your house table. Mr. Potter-Snape, please go sit down and Mr. Weasley, if I hear one more unpleasant remark I will have plenty of cauldrons that will need scrubbing by the end of the day. That goes for you also Mr. Finnigan and Mr. Thomas. Now all three of you find your house table and sit down."

"Git!" Weasley muttered as the three moved away.

"Shut up, Ron!" Finnigan ordered. "We have Potions with him tomorrow and he hates Gryffindor enough already. No point in giving him any reasons to take points."

Harry was midway through his breakfast and was talking with Michael, Terry, and Hermione when a shadow fell over his plate – three shadows to be exact and they were all dressed in Gryffindor robes and all had red hair. Two of them were identical right down to the last freckle.

"Hi, Harry!" One of the twins said. "I'm Fred Weasley; this is my brother, George and our older brother, Percy the Perfect Prefect." Percy frowned at Fred's joke, but didn't say anything. "We just wanted to introduce ourselves and let you know that were not all gits like our younger brother."

Harry smiled and shook all their hands, "I'm pleased to meet you and your brother is sort of a git."

"Well, don't worry if he gets out of line again, we'll just ask Percy to stomp on him," the other twin, George joked.

"If he doesn't behave I can take points," Percy announced proudly. "Prefects are allowed to take points."

"Better than that though Perce can owl mum about Ron and she'll send him a Howler – believe me, one thing you never want is a Howler from our mum!" Fred joked.

"We know, we've had plenty of them," George muttered.

"We'll let you get back to eating your breakfast," Percy said taking an arm of each twin and steering them back towards the Gryffindor table. Fred turned back and yelled, "See you around, Harry."

Harry waved at them. It was nice to know the entire Weasley family wasn't a bunch of gits like Ron.

He walked to his first class, Transfiguration with Hermione, Neville, Vince and Greg. Draco was headed to Charms with the Gryffindors and waved at him as they passed in the hallway.

"I've heard Professor McGonagall is really strict," Hermione whispered as they sat down in class

"I don't think she's as strict as my dad," Harry said.

"But he has to be strict because Potions is dangerous and people in the class could be injured if somebody's cauldron explodes."
