Please note this chapter is a work in progress and not the final product, as it is merely an idea I am currently perusing. Please feel free to read review and make your suggestions. I went back and re-read my story several times which led me to this conclusion. I needed to get Harry to Hogwarts while wrapping up some loose ends. Again feel free to give me your suggestions.

Harry took a deep sigh as he started to unpack his trunk and put his things away in his new room at Hogwarts. He was thankful for his birthday present from Mrs. Wesley (one that she gave him in private the night before they left for school) for it came in handy after his introduction into Slytherin House. He knew that it was a last minute idea none the less he truly appreciated it. He opened up his wizarding first aid kit and started to apply the creams to his bruises and take the potions for his cuts. He knew that he had to prove himself as worthy to be in Slytherin and that it wouldn't be easy. He was quite proud of that he was able to remain in control of his temper and not scare any of the first years also being introduced into the noble house of Slytherin.

Flashback:

"What are you expecting me to do Draco, go full force" Harry stated with a glare. He knew that to fall into Draco's bait was not what he wanted to do.

"Not now not here not now, if you want to duel me fine but somewhere else. You name the time and place I will be there but not here not now." Harry snarled towards Draco. He knew what he was capable of doing and he did not want to risk scarring the young first years. Inside Harry knew that there was a small part of him that was still Gryffindor.

"I know that you are the King of Snakes and I respect that Draco. I know that I have to earn my place in this house but giving my arsenal of spells and curses this is not the time nor place" Harry stated directly to Draco making sure that He saw deeply into Harry's eyes.

Harry knew that it was driving Draco nuts by doing nothing but blocking spells and not fighting back. Harry could see it in Draco's face, it made him tingle on the back of his hair.

"Well you seem satisfied" Severus said as Draco walked into his private chamber.

"Somewhat though I was expecting 'Saint Potter' to put up more of a fight then he did. Thou the first years know who to respect." Draco said felling quite satisfied while how tonight ritual introduction into Slytherin went. "You do rely that you will have a busy night with the first years since I couldn't show any difference between them and 'Saint Potter'. Not that is a bad thing of course." Severus rolled his eyes as Draco informed him of how things went. "The first night is always the worst" Severus thought to himself. He knew that sleep would not come to him that night with all of the homesickness and fear of being a first year. The one thing that made him smile was the thought of taking his grumpiness was his 7th year Potions class with his newest celebrity "Saint Potter."

"He doesn't belong in this house. It was nice to see the others back me up. I knew that Pansy wouldn't do much thought I do give her credit for putting the first year girls in their place" Draco stated as he continued to talk to Severus. Draco was glad that he was given cart blanch with his hazing of all new Snakes.

"Whatever Potter thinks he has one thing coming I don't fall for his bullshit. He tried to scare me with his eyes. He doesn't scare me I know that I can take him on any day." Draco told Severus quite frankly. "I do not doubt that you can't and I look forward to how you continue to remind him of where his place is in this house. " Severus returned.

It was at that moment the first round of cries came from the first year Slytherin's. Severus took a deep breath and left the chamber.

Jenny sits in her dorm room thinking about what had happened in the last week with Harry and her family. She knew in the back of her mind that Harry wouldn't accept her parents offer to adopt him. It would have been great to have Harry as her brother and she always felt in some way he was but she also could read Harry better than most people. The fact that he switched houses really didn't surprise her at all. What did surprise her was Hermione's reaction to this news. Hermione was quite upset. She yelled and called Harry a traitor among other harsher things. Jenny looked at Harry to see his reaction to the situation and what she saw was what she expected, Harry being Harry still in control. "Ron if you were still here I know you could talk some since into Mione" Jenny thought to herself as she sighed and laid down in hopes to get some sleep.

After Harry finish attending to his wounds he decided to finish unpacking his trunk. While he was doing this he found himself reflecting back on what all transpired over the past few weeks leading up to tonight's festive events. He wasn't sure which was harder telling the Wesley's about having a father who was still alive or the girls about his house change.

Flashback:

Harry was nervously waiting for the Wesley's to join him for lunch as he knew that it was an important lunch. He knew that he had to give them an answer about the adoption and let them know of the house change. Harry was thankful for the wonderful birthday party they threw for him even if he said no birthdays. As he was thinking about his party he looked up to see both Arthur and Molly Wesley waving at him.

"Hello Harry, I hope that we didn't keep you waiting too long" Arthur said as he came over to the table. "No only just got here myself." Harry said feeling guilty for lying a little because he had been there for some time. His morning tea with Neville was shorter than what he had anticipated.

"How was your meeting with Neville?" Molly asked trying to make small talk. "Good, as always he is constantly shocking me. Today he asked me to be his best man. I guess he finally asked Pansy to Marry him." It was the most unusual match but Harry knew that it was real.

"Who would have thought those two would have ever found love throughout this whole mess" Molly said while waiting on Harry's answer to them wanting to adopt him.

"Well now let's get down to why we are here" Arthur said knowing that he had only his lunch break to get things done. Harry couldn't help but agree he wanted to get things done and over with so that he could relax with what remaining time he had left before classes started. "I have looked at the offer in all directions and thought of what it would mean." As Harry spoke these words Molly knew that he would not take their offer of adoption. "I am honored that you want to adopt me but I have to say no. Err at least for now." Harry didn't want to upset the Wesley's but he wanted to make sure they understood why so he went on to explain everything about his father minus the fact that his dad was Snape and the house change. He knew they were shocked and expected nothing less. He was glad at how understanding they were and how supportive they would be. ….
