The Great hall was a buzz with excitement. Ron sat and ate two chicken legs in each hand and looked over at Harry.
"Is that all your going to eat? You look at the food as if you can't believe it's there Harry."
Ron said but it came out muffled as he spoke with his mouth full of chicken and even a piece fell on his plate. Hermione who was sitting next to Ron shook her head and muttered.
"Boys.."
Ron turned and looked at her. As he did he scowled and was about to reply when the plates changed and the dishes on the table turned to desserts.
Ron grabbed two helpings of chocolate pudding and continued to eat.He ignored Hermione who was eating her pudding slowly and mannerly. She for a moment was in thought as she looked around the hall.
Hermione had never seen anything as magnificent as Hogwarts and as she looked around she met eyes with Harry a moment.
She of course knew his story, it was in Hogwarts a history and she had read it cover to cover during the summer until the book had fallen apart and she had to get another copy.
Harry frowned a moment and looked at the pudding but didn't touch it. He sighed and put his silverware on the half empty plate in front of him. He had barely eaten as he felt nervous with all the eyes it seemed to him of the world staring.
Draco was about to eat his own pudding when he stopped and looked at Harry. He wondered too why Harry wasn't eating. He for a moment just sat there spoon in hand and placed the pudding on Harry's plate in front of him.
"Here, I rescued this from Weasley. He's going for his third. Besides you barely touched anything."
Draco replied as Harry looked at him in questio. Draco rolled his eyes a moment and stuck out his tongue. As he did Harry couldn't help but laugh and he felt a little bit better. Harry began to eat the pudding and then to his surprise Draco placed another on Harry's plate.
Harry finally felt full for the first time in his life as again the plates vanished and a red headed boy stood up at the head of the Gryffindor table.
"First years, this way."
The boy said. As they lined up Ron stood in front of Harry and Draco to his lef side. Behind them was Neville Longbottom and Hermione. She was making a fuss over Neville and Trevor his toad as it kept jumping from the boy's hands. This time it jumped to Neville's surprise,on the back of the red haired prefect.
As Neville went to go and get Trevor, he brushed up against Harry and Draco and knocked Ron down a moment. The whole group ahead of them just was staring as the Toad made a leap. Behind Percy's back all the kids were giggling to themselves.
Percy stopped at the stairs and was about to explain how the Hogwarts stairs worked when Trevor jumped up and went down Percy's front of his school robes.
Percy was started and let out a yelp that sounded girlish as he for a moment was twisting and trying to catch the Toad. Neville blushed as he stepped forward.
"Sir if I may?"
Neville called Trevor who came and sat on his shoulder. Percy glared at Neville.
"Mind you keep that Toad from my sight Longbottom."
He replied as he looked all dishabille and he felt agitated. He began to explain the stairs as all the new Gryffindors listened and Neville who had again moved back to the line looked on with sadness.
Ron looked up at Draco who was helping Harry who had dropped his glasses and he decided to trip the blonde as he thought it was he who had knocked him down.
Draco had just picked up Harry's glasses when he felt himself bumped and he fell over sprawling with Harry under him. For a moment neither boy moved as they just stared at each other.
Percy sighed and came over helping both boys up and as he did he looked over at Ron and glared a moment as he had seen Ron purposely trip the Malfoy boy and knock them over.
"Care to explain Ronald why you knocked these boys over?"
Percy asked in his superior sounding voice. As he did Fred and George snickered to themselves and gave each other high fives as they were standing behind Percy.
Ron's face flamed as much as his hair and he sputtered..
"But But Perce! Malfoy tripped me and knocked me over!"
He said as he looked at Draco with accusing eyes and even pointed his finger.
Draco shook his head. As he did he opened his mouth and spoke showing his outrage at the accusation.
"I did not! It was Long Bottom who knocked you over. I was helping Harry find his glasses you moron.!"
Neville closed his eyes and nodded a moment, As he did he just sniffed a moment.
"I.. I am sorry Trevor got loose and it was me."
Meville said with a sigh looking by the minute more red in his pale face. Percy looked at Ron and Neville.
"Apologize and then may I explain the stairs already? "
Ron just looked at Neville. As he did he spat out
"Well you should keep an eye on that Toad! You don't see Stabbers running a muck now do you?"
He said as he went to go back to the group when Percy cleared his throat.
"I said apologize did I not Ronald? "
Ron looked a Percy in question. "Who.."
He asked acting stupid as he didn't want to apologize to Malfoy.
Draco just sighed and replied.
"Just forget it. No hard feelings Weasley. "
Percy shook his head then he went to explain the staircases moved on their own and he led them up to Gryffindor tower. As they were in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady,Percy called out the password and the door swing open.
Inside the common room was filled with reds and gold and the first years for a moment stood in awe at the sight. Even Draco couldn't help himself as he stood next to harry and saw Harry smile. Draco smiled bigger as he saw Harry's excitement,
"Alright boys dormitories are up and to the left, girls on the right. You should prepare for bed as it's getting late."
Percy said as he went to make his way up the left staircase and disappeared into a room at the top of the stairs. The boys and girls made their way up to their respective Dorms and Harry was surprised when he saw four beds in their room and he was happy when Draco had the bed next to his. Ron was on the other side and then Neville's was next to Ron.
Harry made to take off his school uniform and took out one of his oversized shirts that Dudley had outgrown and he put it on with some pants. Draco changed into silk boxers and he looked over at Harry.
"You don't have pajamas Harry? Here is a second set of mine, they are a bit tight but I think they will fit better than that."
Draco said motioning to the over sized clothes. Harry blushed a moment but nodded and thanked Draco and changed into the pair of black silk pajamas. As Draco has predicted, they fit Harry well and Harry grinned getting into bed.
Ron looked over at Draco and stuck out his tongue at him. Draco gave Ron the finger and got himself into bed also and pulled the curtain that faced Ron shut. He however kept the other curtain open and looked over at Harry.He wondered why he was so nervous and for a moment he sat up and saw Harry had removed his glasses and had his head on his knees sitting up in the bed.
Draco found himself getting up and sitting next to Harry who for a moment was surprised but then relaxed when he realized it was Draco. Harry looked at Draco who became motionless as he noticed the other boy's eyes. Draco sighed and then told Harry.
"You have to admit, it was funny seeing that older bloke squirming with a Toad down his robes."
Draco whispered as he made Harry lie down and he lay down next to him. Harry found himself laughing a moment despite feeling ut of place. He looked over at Draco and took his hand and gave it a squeeze.
Draco smiled and they talked a few more minutes quietly as Draco explained Quidditch to Harry who was asking all sorts of questions and after a while both boys fell asleep holding each other's hand.
"Is that all your going to eat? You look at the food as if you can't believe it's there Harry."
Ron said but it came out muffled as he spoke with his mouth full of chicken and even a piece fell on his plate. Hermione who was sitting next to Ron shook her head and muttered.
