With the arrival of the first years at the Great Hall, Albus began to wonder if Harry Potter was amongst said first years, he scanned the different faces of the children ready to be sorted finding no one with the same face of James or Lily, during the summer holidays between the school years Albus had sent an owl with the acceptance letter for young Harry Potter, but no response came back and the owl wasn't able to deliver the letter, he didn't like that, Harry Potter had vanished ten years ago and if he didn't knew where the boy was then it meant that someone unscrupulous had him, perhaps twisting him to become the newest Dark Lord instead of the Bringer of Light the child was destined to be.
But when his name came on the scroll the kid was nowhere to be seen, the child never appeared nor did he sat on the stool waiting to be sorted into Gryffindor just like his parents, the only Harry to be on this year's sorting was a muggleborn American kid named Harry Wayne, who according to Minerva the child was quite talented, said kid was currently being judged by the Sorting Hat.
"The Hat is taking its sweet time with the Wayne boy, must be the kid's accent, Americans butcher the English language" Dumbledore thought to himself watching the Wayne boy sitting while having a mental conversation with the Sorting Hat.
Then after a moments of deliberation the Sorting Hat managed to get a verdict…
"Better be… Slytherin!" The Hat yelled and the Slytherin table politely applauded as a bushy haired girl and a raven haired girl on the Ravenclaw table cheered, followed by a blonde boy in Hufflepuff and a dark haired boy and red haired girl in Gryffindor cheered as well.
As Harry reached into the Slytherin table he recognized Daphne Greengrass, Tracy Davis and Millicent Bulstrode who were in some of Neville's birthday parties.
"Good at least I won't be completely alone in this house" Harry though as he greeted the other girls as well as getting an acquaintance to Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle.
"Hi, I'm Harry, Harry Wayne" Harry introduced himself to the only member of his house that was left, a pretty raven haired girl sitting two seats from him.
"Pansy Parkinson" She responded stretching her hand to be kissed, she didn't expected for him to know the protocol but her surprised her when he kissed her knuckles surprising the girl.
The Sorting ceremony ended with the red-haired boy named Ron ending up in Gryffindor and the dark skinned boy named Blaise ending in Slytherin as well.
Harry was expecting the food to be delivered but instead the headmaster stood up from his golden throne, he was an elderly man dressed in shiny greyish blue robes and a long beard and glasses as well as a pointy hat of the same color as the robes, the image reminded Harry of how Merlin the Wizard looked in Disney's The Sword in the Stone".
"Greetings young students and welcome to another wonderful year here in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I wanted to wait for you to be placed on your houses before I gave some announcements, one, for all first years I must tell you that the Forbidden Forest is strictly forbidden, two, Mr. Filch told me to remind you that the third floor corridor on the right is as well forbidden for every student unless they want to experience a terrible and painful death, now, let's the feast begin!" The headmaster spoke and food appeared on every table, Harry remembered feasts that his father had taken him but none of those caterings compared to the plenty of food that was served in front of him.
"So Wayne, that's a last name I've never heard, and you knew about the social etiquette and greetings, are you from a Wizarding family in United States? You showed proper manners for an American" Pansy asked raising her eyebrow
"No, I'm a first generation, as the MACUSA Aurors like to call" Harry responded as he took a small bite of the chicken he had grabbed.
"First generation?" Vincent asked
"Yes, it means that I'm the first of my family to be a Wizard" Harry responded as he continue to eat from his plate.
"Wow, that means you're the first muggleborn to enter Slytherin House" Blaise said impressed.
"Is something wrong with that?" Harry asked
"Not really, it was just unlikely, especially since most older years will try to prove that "Purebloods are superior to muggleborns" Daphne said
"Oh well, as long as you don't hold that prejudice against me we can still be friends" Harry said smiling at his classmates. "And to answer the rest of your question I'm not as you in terms of blood status but my father is a rich man who always thought us about the proper table manners and how to introduce ourselves" He added.
"Rich, how rich?" Pansy asked only to be admonished by Daphne with a steel cold stare.
"Well, I don't mind to answer that, after all Forbes magazine did a net worth estimation about Wayne Enterprises, if I'm correct the total worth was 9.2 billion dollars" Harry answered, seeing the kids being completely clueless Harry said "Ok, that would mean, wait a second, let me do the conversion, that would mean that my dad's net worth is 1.3 billion galleons, give or take" Harry said making Vincent spill the pumpkin juice he was drinking.
"Are you for real?!" Pansy asked
"Yes, I've met Mr. Wayne, he is a business man and what muggles call "CEO" of the Enterprises Harry talked about" Millicent said informing the others
"What type of business does your father do to have such fortune?" Gregory asked, honestly this boy could easily buy each and every Lordship of the Wizarding Britain without a sweat.
"Well dad and the Enterprise deal with hospitals, medicines, laboratories, technology, ecology and superhero equipment" Harry informed them
"Super what?" Pansy asked
"Superhero equipment, dad makes the technology of the Batman Incorporated brand which have many superheroes donning the Bat logo as well as the Watchtower orbiting the Earth and Hall of Justice of the Justice League in Washington" Harry explained but each kid looked completely puzzled, Harry rolled his eyes and searched on his utility belt for his Wayne Tech cellphone, he unlocked it much to the peaked interest of every first year and some second years.
After a quick search Harry found the video he was looking. "Here you go" Harry showed his fellow Slytherins a video of Wonder Woman, Batman, Martian Manhunter, Superman, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl and Flash battling against one of the many Luthor's giant robots. The kids looked impressed at the images they were seeing of this colorful characters flying without a broom, making green magic without a wand and shooting fire from their eyes.
"I have too many questions, but first what the bloody hell is that thing?" Pansy said completely shocked
"This? Oh is my cellphone, I know that many people think that muggle technology doesn't work on magical places but my uncle and my dad found a rune inscription that isolates the device and repels magic allowing the device to work properly instead of exploding, its selling pretty well on Wizard American soil, dad wants to sell them on a major scale soon" Harry explained showing the bottom of the cellphone were tiny runes could be spotted.
The other kids were about to continue their inquiry when they heard a girly scream coming from the Gryffindor table, Ron Weasley got scared after seeing a ghost popping out from below a table. Even though Harry was surprised at the sudden manifestation of the ghosts of Hogwarts he wasn't entirely horrified since had met and had been mentored by an actual demon, so a ghost of a regular man wasn't so terrifying.
After their laughs at Ron's outburst the Slytherin kids continued to interrogate Harry about the characters on the cellphone's screen.
"Well they're pretty regular people, Wonder Woman is the princess of the Amazons, a warrior race of strong and immortal women, she regularly visits my father on Wayne Enterprises, Superman and Martian Manhunter are the last members of their alien races, Superman comes from a distant planet named Krypton, like the element in the periodic table, and Martian Manhunter comes from Mars, when we get to Astronomy class I'll show you the planet, Hawkgirl is the daughter of a reincarnated person of an ancient Thanagarian warrior who posed as an Egyptian God centuries ago, Green Lantern is a space Auror basically, Flash is a speedster, a person who can move at the speed of light and Batman is a regular man with lots of technology." Harry explained and defined every member of the Justice League that appeared on the video, as he had finished he drank a cup of water and grabbed a small piece of lettuce from his plate.
"Wow, really? Extraterrestrials?" Pansy was still shocked.
"Gods?" Blaise added.
"Space Aurors?" Vincent said.
"Yeap, that pretty much sums everything up" Harry said as he resumed his dinner.
Behind him two figures appeared, one was a tall teenager with perfectly combed hair while the other had an intense an hateful stare as well as the ugliest set of teeth Harry had seen, he thought the Simpson's joke was an exaggeration but this kid was proving them right.
"You're not a pureblood, who are you kid?" The ugly teethed teen said almost in a growl
"Hi, I'm Harry, Harry Wayne, nice to meet you" Harry said extending his hand to shake only to be swat away by the teen, as Harry was facing the teen he didn't noticed that Pansy, Blaise, Vincent and Gregory glared at the teen for his disrespectful gesture.
"You're a mudblood who shouldn't be here in this house, the great Salazar Slytherin hated mudbloods like you, ask for a re-sort or your life will be hell" The teen said trying to look menacingly, Harry let out a sigh and stood up, even though he was eleven he was only a couple centimeters shorter that the teen in front of him.
Channelizing his inner Batman Harry looked directly into the teen's eyes and said with a deep and cold voice "I don't take threats kindly, so if you think I'll let you bully me into leaving you're in for a treat because I never back down and I don't give up, let me and my new friends eat in peace and you won't have to spend the night in the infirmary" Harry said to the teen, the teen growled and was about to go for his wand when the other teen stopped him.
"Marcus! You're in front of the Teacher's table, think again before casting a curse" The teen said
"Leave me Higgs" The teen shook free "Consider yourself lucky Wayne, mudbloods aren't accepted in Slytherin, watch your back because next time you won't be that lucky" Marcus said before leaving for his seat.
"Ignore him" Said the other guy that was next to Marcus. "Hi, Terrence Higgs" He said extending his hand which Harry shook "Do you play Quidditch Wayne? Or any sport?" Terrence seemed nice and kinda reminded him of his brother Dick so Harry responded with a smirk
"Yes, I played a little, my cousin is Draco Black and my best friend is Neville Longbottom we often hang around with Daphne, Susan, Tracy and Millie and play some Quidditch, although I'm more fond of basketball to be honest" Harry responded
"You should see Harry in a broom, even if he is muggleborn he could easily be a professional player" Daphne interjected making Harry blush.
"Then you should definitely try for a position in the Slytherin team, the rules have changed and first years can apply for a position." Terrence offered
"I wouldn't miss that opportunity" Harry replied to the teen, Terrence nodded and went to sit with his fellow year mates, Harry sat again with his new found friends.
"Damn Harry, that gave me chills" Pansy said rubbing her arms
"Why? It was a simply offer of playing with the team" Harry said nonchalantally
"No dunderhead, your argument with Marcus Flint, he is one of the fiercest Slytherins there is, everyone in the school is afraid of him" Pansy explained
"Don't know why, he didn't looked that tough" Harry replied.
"You are one crazy American kid you know" Blaise joked, making everyone laugh, it was overall a pretty good welcoming to Hogwarts, the adventures was barely starting.
