Henry still couldn't believe that he was just sorted into slytherin, after all that was the house his father and older brother were in but something felt different. As he was seated in the only opened seat near the edge of the slytherin table, he looked over to the gryffindor table to find; Cricket, his best friend and Eyre, a newly formed friend on the Hogwarts Express sitting together after they were both recently sorted into the same house. While he was happy for how the sorting went and he knew that they would both still be his friends, he kind of wished he was sorted into gryffindor right about now just so he could be with them. As the sorting ceremony finished and Henry was still looking at Cricket and Eyre from the slytherin table a thousand thoughts floated in his head.
I should happy, this is what I wanted. I'm in the house that my father and brother were in but why do I still feel out of place and alone. At least Cricket and Eyre are together but what about me, yes they both said they would remain my friend no matter how the sorting went then why do I still feel out of place.
Henry looked around the Slytherin table and noticed he knew no one there and not only that, he probably came off as weird and a outsider since he's been staring at the gryffindor table and lost in thought since the hat sorted him. Henry decided he should make a few friends in his known house then later he will meet up with Cricket and also write a letter to his twin sister to tell her how the sorting went. Henry looked around at the others all talking and laughing and panicked, he was worried that no one would pay any attention to him or think he's weird or a outsider.
Henry took a deep breath and said calmly to the boy next to him who wasn't talking or laughing with anyone yet" Hi, I'm Henry. Uh Henry Knight and you are." After Henry spoke he thought he recognized the boy but moved past the thought.

'Who am I' - 'Who - am - I,seriously Knight, you need you're memory checked'
The Slytherin table was a bombardment of chatter and laughter and the boy next to him from Flourish and Blotts spoke up , as the boy finished his sentence Cole could feel the anger rising in his voice as he replied - Cole had grown quite a short temper and it wasn't something he was proud of - but how could he be forgotten by someone like him.
Cole shoved the plate in front of him aside and quickly ran his hand through his hair keeping his hands stiffly at his sides as he could feel the blood pulsating through them. He looked up at Henry Knight his eyes blue and soft like a newborn baby - delicate and inoccent whereas Cole eyes were a raging amber that were growing lighter by the second at the torchlight flickered violently above him.
'Sorted into Slytherin eh' Cole said 'Not what you wanted then' he gestured at the Gryffindor table bitterly.He noticed his own brother dressed in Red and Gold drinking pumpkin juice and laughing with his group of devoted friends. Cole looked back at Henry staring at him intensely all his emotions wiped off his face but still remained clear in is eyes.

"Sorted into slytherin, eh" The curly brown haired boy with amber like eyes replied to him before also saying" Not what you wanted then." Henry finally remember where they met, at flourish and blotts just a few days before that night. Henry thought back to how intimidating and kind of mean that mysterious boy was acting but also he seemed new at it and sort of nervous. Henry then looked over at the gryffindor table to where that boy was waving his hand at and thought about what he said.
"Not want you wanted" was ringing in his ears, did he really not want to be there? Did he wish that the hat sorted him into gryffindor instead so he could be with his friends? Henry then shook his hands and thought to himself, No that can't be right because ever since Cricket and I were kids she knew that I wanted to be a slytherin just like my father and older brother. Henry then turned his attention to the boy who's amber eyes seemed to be riddled with anger but then blank as if he was waiting for something, Henry thought as his eyes danced in the light that the boy's amber eyes sort of looked like they were hazel instead of amber. Henry smiled a small but also kind smile as he said" Right, we met in diagon alley but I didn't catch your name. So what is your name? Henry then rubbed a nervous hand through his hair and took another calming breath as he spoke" Slytherin was what I was hoping for, it's just my friends were sorted into gryffindor. I know we didn't get off on a good foot the first time so why don't we start over, so was slytherin what you were hoping for?

'My name is Cole Thomas and I knew I would be in Slytherin' he lied as he spoke the last bit of his sentence but it was undetectable. As he anger slowed slightly his eyes lost their dangerous spark and became blank as it no emotion's were being emitted. He looked at the plate he had shoved aside and lifted the knife from the table spinning it between two fingers it was rotating reasonably fast while Cole was thinking.Henry looked up at Cole who was concentrating on the knife, Henry pushed his chair in closer to the table and the vibrations from the chair caused the knife to loosen from his grip and slide across his hand.
The blood dripped down his hand - it had all happened so quickly and he didn't realize what had happened until he saw the deep gash in his hand - he sucked air in quickly through closed teeth as he attempted to press his other hand against the wound to stop himself from loosing too much blood - Cole pretended that all was fine but the colour was going from his face, either from the shock or the amount of blood which seemed to have come from the knife penetrating his skin at speed.

It all happen so fast, Henry was about to grab a chicken leg when the knife Cole Thomas was spinning in his hand sipped and cut him. Blood started to ooze from his hand and while Cole showed he was fine while he tried to stop the bleeding, Henry thought he saw worry behind the boys eyes something Henry was used to. I have to help him, for some reason he doesn't like me to much so maybe if I help him I can change his mind hopefully. Henry grabbed his clean napkin and folded in half while holding it out to Cole,"Here, tie this around your hand it should stop the bleeding long enough for you to go to the hospital wing" Henry spoke to Cole while looking at him in the eyes, now seeing their true color is hazel and not amber.
Please take the napkin, I just want to help you. If only I knew how to cast one of the healing spells that I read about then I could probably help him a lot more. Hopefully he doesn't blame me for this and hopefully his hand will also be ok. How do others do this, talk and laugh with others. It seems so hard especially when something like his hand slicing open on the knife could happen like that then what do you do. As a million thoughts floated in Henry's head, he held out the napkin folded in half and smiled to Cole. "Trust me, this will help just take it and tie it around your hand. I can help you tie it to if you like?"

Cole saw the napkin in Henry's outstretched hand - his hand burned and the other trembling.
Cole gestured for the boy to wrap it around his hand as he tried not to show any sign of weakness. As he gripped the table his his free hand to stop the shaking and he tried to think why the boy would possibly want to help him , he had been positively horrible to him over the time they had met and he had no reason to do anything to aid him in any way.
Cole blinked several times and Henry began to tighten the napkin, he bit his lip as he stared into the ceiling - Woah he thought looking into it was light looking into the night sky - literally, it looked like the cosmos was right above him - even if it wasn't really the stars seemed to shine brighter , the i
only thing that gave the charade away was the candles which floated in mid air illuminating the Great Hall surprisingly they didn't drip wax otherwise he wouldn't have sat under what looked like the biggest one above the Slytherin Table, Cole was quickly extracted from his thoughts as he felt a sharp pain in his arm Henry must have finished tying the napkin.

When he saw Cole agree to let Henry tie the napkin on his hand, Henry quickly took Cole's injured hand in his own and started to tie. Henry twin sister; Annabeth has been injured multiple times before which allowed Henry to know different ways to help without using magic. Henry wrapped the napkin around Cole's hand and then started to wrap it a second time while making sure that the blood didn't soak though and also that the wound was completely covered by the napkin. Henry started to tie the ends if the napkin together was he noticed how pal Cole's skin is which reminded him of Cricket, Henry tried not to think how much he wished to be with her at the moment and laughing over some normal conversation topic while making friends with Cricket by his side but he was also happy that he was at the slytherin table, to help Cole.
Maybe I'm not a outsider, maybe I just miss having Cricket by my side and talking for me but were still going to stay friends so maybe I should start making friends here and laugh a bit, that is if I can. I'm glad Cole took my offer to help maybe now he change how he views me and see that I'm not intimidating or mean but instead helpful and a little awkward. Who knows maybe now we might be a little closer to being friends, not all the way yet but a little closer.
Henry finished tying the ends of the napkin on Cole's hand and tucked the knot underneath the end of the napkin. Henry tapped Cole's wrist and let go of Cole's hand to let him know he was done as he spoke"There, that should do it? How does that feel?

'That feels...good - where did you learn that?' he asked bewildered at how this boy had managed to stop his hand from hurting without using magic.He no longer felt as much pain.Feeling slightly warmer towards Henry - he gave him a small smile of both gratitude and kindness. [He felt as though this boy wasn't going to be the enemy he imagined, he didn't want an trouble and certainly was no threat to him and so Cole resided to become friendlier over a period of time to test the waters so to speak
Cole surveyed the Slytherin table and saw people in small tightly knit groups - maybe Henry could be part of his he thought. 'What's your opinion on rules' Cole said smiling a wide grin, he wanted to explore the un-explorable and venture into the un-venturable he hoped Henry would be with him for that. 'Do you want to go to our Common room - I can't wait to check it out' Cole said excitedly as he looked across the Slytherin Table almost finalizing the Sorting Hat's decision that Slytherin was where he was supposed to be - sure the rest of he family were in Gryffindor but what's to say he can't be different - or even greater.

Henry smiled and reply to Cole's question on where he learned how to help injuries without the use if magic."My father was almost always away on ministry business and my siblings and I were underage so we learned how to do many muggle things such as how to care for injuries. I became quite good at it because my twin sister would always find some way to injured herself and I would always help her care for it." Henry smiled and rubbed a more relaxed hand through his hair as he grabbed a pumpkin pastry and placed it on his plate, maybe Cole now sees him differently and won't act intimidating anymore and maybe he might even want to be his friend. I won't be gullible while I will be friendly I also will keep my eyes peeled as to test the waters to be sure he is a friend and not anything else.
Still while I want to be over their with Cricket maybe this is my chance to finally fit in and find my place, to no longer be a outsider.
Henry looked around the slytherin table and saw many were already friends and in groups, laughing among each other maybe him and Cole will be friends like the others. He hears Cole say" what's your opinion on rules?" Henry turned toward him and thought about it for a minute as he tap his knee quite quickly, he finally said"I guess I listen to them and play by the rules but there's always loopholes in the rules and even if you break them, technically you don't really break them or get in trouble if you don't get caught." Henry smiled and showed a bit of his mischievous side as his eyes lit up in the light in sort of a mischievous way. Cole then said" do you want to go to our common room- I can't wait to check it out?" Henry smiled back with one last look toward Cricket at the gryffindor table as he thought maybe being in two different houses won't be that bad as he said"Sure, that would be cool"

Cole heard Henry's opinion on breaking rules and found it was much more cunning that just simply breaking a rule a loophole meant that you never broke the rule yet reap the rewards as if you did Henry's eyes glistened with something that made Cole like the boy even more he was smart and Cole liked that in him.The once uptight Henry Knight had become more relaxed as he ran his hand through his hair scanning the table like Cole did moments before.He agreed to coming to the common room but something told Cole he was just as excited as him to see it for the first time.Their house had a more interesting history than most and that , he thought, intrigued them both but their traits made many house members formidable which was something inspirational he thought at least.
Cole noticed Henry place a pumpkin pasty on his plate, it wasn't until now that Cole realized how hungry he was - he placed a couple of treacle tarts on his plate along with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream which was beautifully decorated with two Vanilla pods crossed over each other.He inhaled taking in the sweet scents of the banquet before him and made sure he ate what he could before returning to the common room.
