As the commotion soon died down, the sorting hat started his speech. " I see, as expected of someone of his bloodline. It's difficult to peer into your mind. Hmm, let's see which house gets you. Brave and reckless, suitable for Griffyndoor ".
Griffyndoors perked up. They have Harry Potter. If they also have a descendant of Twilight Wizard, it's enough to brag with all houses for many years and rub it in the face of Slytherin. Even Dumbledore perked up when he heard that.
" Thirst for knowledge and desire to explore the secrets of magic. Suitable for Ravenclaw ", Ravenclaw house got excited and a little agitated.
" Hard working and loyal. A very fine match to Hufflepuff ", Hufflepuffs looked at Adrian with some hope and interest.
" Hoh, ambition to grow and become the strongest there is in the magical world surpassing every wizard and witch in the past and present. A typical Slytherin ", Slytherin students straightened, looking at Adrian.
" Hah, this is tough. Very tough. In that case let's ask your opinion ", Adrian pinched his chin and thought,' which house should I choose? ', as he is thinking, an idea popped up in his mind. ' Send me to a house where they won't hinder my growth and disturb my path '.
The hat became silent for a few seconds before announcing loudly," then it's better be Slytherin ", the hall immediately fallen into silence before Slytherin house cheered loudly. ' you'll know why Slytherin once you enter the common room ', the sorting hat said.
Adrian walked towards slytherin table while the Hogwarts logo on his chest turned into Slytherin. As he moved towards the Slytherin amidst the cheers. Dumbledore blinked and looked at the sorting hat, it seems he needs to have a talk when th sorting hat.
Adrian sat down beside Blaze Zabini. As he took a seat, the slytherins nodded at him and didn't say anything. Noble etiquette it is in their view. Adrian sighed inwardly. Soon the sorting came to a halt. Then Dumbledore stood up and said four words which Adrian didn't pay any attention to.
All Slytherin students are eating with etiquette. Adrian saw this and he didn't care, he ate in his own way. Some Slytherin seniors frowned but they didn't say anything. As the feast ended Dumbledore spoke some rules and warned them not to enter the corridor on the third floor.
Then everyone went to their common room. On the way, Adrian saw someone freshman are nervous while some freshman looked excited. Confused he asked the blonde girl beside him," is there some kind of tradition involving freshman in Slytherin house? ".
The girl curled her lips and said with disdain," there will be a duel among the freshman to elect a leader. You better be careful, as the descendant of Twilight Wizard, they will target you first. Expect a bone or rub to be cracked by the end of today, especially if you met me. I want to see what's the so called lineage of Twilight Wizard amounts to, see if it's wasted on you or not ".
Adrian raised an eyebrow. He looked amused, so there is a duel or a battle royale going on huh. Adrian cracked his neck and said," so a fight huh. Sounds interesting ", as they crossed the dungeons they came to a wall with a Slytherin house symbol.
One of the prefects moved forward and said," Glory ", the wall divided giving an archway to them. Adrian thought,' Salazar, you certainly inherited basilisk genes man. Why place this bloody common room under a lake. Even wearing the shoes I can feel the chill '.
As they entered the common room. They sorted into rows based on the years. And waited, soon Snape arrived. He looked at them and said with a cold expression," let's begin the tradition like every year. And for those dundeeheads that arrived this year and for the fools who don't know the tradition, I'll only say this once, clean your ears of that rust and pay attention. Slytherin is a house that values strength and ambition above everything. For those who are faint hearted, this tradition isn't for you. Students of every year will fight themselves to elect a hidden prefect for each year. The hidden prefect can maintain discipline and enjoy the special treatment of prefect rooms and bath. And as I said, those who don't wish to participate or those with weak hearts can step back from the competition ".
Snape waved his wand while a huge white circle formed in the common room and the furniture there moved outside the circle. As some students stepped out of the circle. The battle royale soon began, spells are thrown at one another. Some are directly knocked out while some are chased by groups to defeat.
As all years are out, soon it's time for freshman matches. Adrian stayed in the circle, no one among freshman left this circle. As Snape signalled them to begin, unexpectedly everyone threw spells at Adrian. Adrian blinked,' did I became public enemy number 1? '.
But all those spells stopped when a Griffin which is shining with bright white light mixed in colours of red and gold appeared around Adrian. It screeched loudly making everyone there afraid. Every student there regardless of year trembled seeing the Griffin which reached more than 5 meters almost touching the ceiling.
Adrian asked coldly," surrender or don't blame if you're injured ", soon everyone calmed down while a senior shouted," it's just a patronus you idiots. Fire spells and knock him quickly ", but the spells just bounced off the said patronus and hit some other ways.
Adrian looked at them coldly and asked," want to try another time? ". They surrendered one by one. Adrian turned to see Snape who is in a daze and asked," professor, the duel is over ", Snape announced while looking at Adrian with a solemn gaze," Adrian Wells will be hidden prefect for first year. Now that everything is setteled, i advice you all to go to sleep. You don't want to be punished for being late to your first class right ".
Adrian looked at the freshman and said," by 7:30 I want all of you in the common room assembled. For now, you're all dismissed ".
Snape took one last look at Adrian before walking away.
