Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: The House of Snakes

The rest of the dinner feast was excellent, given that the feast worked like a buffet, Harry had managed to taste a bit of everything, he was cheating his diet but he would compensate it tomorrow, tonight was a day of celebration, besides everything looked and tasted delicious.

Harry noted that after the teenagers left Daphne had gone quiet, and if someone asked her a question she would respond with a "yes, no, maybe or perhaps", so using his detective skills Harry deduced that it had something to do with the teens.

"Why so grim Daphne?" Harry asked trying to light her mood

"I'm fine, I'm not grim" She responded but her actions and voice said otherwise.

"Are you sure? I noticed that you are not as involved in the conversation as we were before" Harry said

"That's ridiculous I'm still speaking, I'm doing it right now" Daphne replied

"Yes, but even though I don't know you very well, I know that something is bothering you, do you want to talk about?" Harry asked looking at her straight in the eyes.

"No" She responded.

"Did it had to be about one or perhaps the two teens that came a few minutes ago?" Harry asked

"Maybe" She responded.

"If I had to guess it would have to be about Mr. "I need a dental plan" because he was very rude, while Terrence was nicer" Harry said, he saw the blonde girl stumped her shoulders and let out a sigh, she approached Harry to almost whisper in his ear, it was obvious that she didn't want to be heard and she was embarrassed about what she was going to say.

"It is, in certain degree, have to do with the rude teen , his name is Marcus Flint, he is a fifth year with a brother named Samuel in third year, today as I was saying goodbye to my parents, the brothers came to us and they insinuated that I was going to be part of their family, that almost guaranties that their parents are planning a betrothal with either of them" She exhaled in disappointment "Honestly I hope that's a lie because seeing their manners and attitude makes me nauseous" Daphne said with disappointment sending an almost imperceptible nod to Harry towards the ugly teen and a boy who look almost like him that was speaking with his mouth full of food, Harry was disgusted by this but he was also worried about his somewhat friend.

"Well they must be lying, have a little faith Daphne, I'm sure your father would never accept a betrothal with someone you don't tolerate, you'll see that you won't be part on the "Lisa needs braces family" Harry joked making Daphne look at him with uncertainty but still he had managed to get a small smile from her lips. 

"Thank you for your kind words Harry" Daphne said as she resumed eating her dessert.

"I definitely have to introduce them to the Simpsons and movies" Harry thought to himself as his Simpson's joke didn't landed.

The conversation topics that had taken place around the table was fantastic, Harry got to meet other perspectives of the Wizarding World and the Slytherin kids got to meet muggle devices and pop culture.

When the dinner feast had ended, a teen girl named Gemma Farley introduced herself as the Slytherin prefect, she was nice and kind just like Terrance was, guided them to their dorm rooms, Harry managed to spot Hermione and Rachel who were being guided to their respective dorm rooms as well, he waved them goodbye and smiled at them before parting ways when the girls walked upstairs while his group went downstairs.

If he was honest with himself he was a little nostalgic, he was going to spend his first night away from home, he always felt that way during the summer holidays in which his father sent him to a summer camp, but on those camps he had Damian by his side, now he was on a different school on the other side of the world far away from his family and friends. Luckily for him he hadn't had a nightmare since he had turned 9 years old or else he would've woke up in the middle of the night searching for his mother Selina, and that would've been embarrassing.

They finally arrived at a stone wall, if he was honest he would've never guess that the entrance was this hidden, the stretch stone wall was no different from any other wall on this hall but has he began analyzing the markings on the bricks he saw a small Slytherin crest hidden in the lowest brick.

Gemma approached the wall and said "Pureblood" And suddenly the wall move to the side reveling the entrance of the common room.

The Slytherin common room was a long, low underground room with rough stone walls and ceiling, from which round, greenish lamps were hanging on chains. A fire was crackling under an elaborately carved mantelpiece ahead of them, and several Slytherins were silhouetted around it in carved chairs.

"Wow!" Harry, as well as the other first years said in unison.

"Alright, girls, your dorm room is on the right corridor, boys on the left" Gemma began saying. "I must warn you boys that if you try to sneak your way into the girls' dorm room you'll find out how a magical ward works" She added with a smirk. "You'll found out that all of your possessions as well as your familiars are already here, the common room is a place where all of the Slytherin years gather around, so please try to remain quiet as at the end of the school year the fifth and above years will be on exams" Gemma continue to explain "If you had another question feel free to ask me, remember that the curfew is at 10 so all of you must be in the common room before that hour or else you won't be allowed to enter and will be severely punished" Gemma said with a stern tone earning the nods from the first years. "Good, then proceed to your dorm rooms and have good night's rest" Gemma bid them goodnight and Harry waved goodbye at his girl friends as he entered his designated corridor.

In the dorm room Harry, Vincent, Gregory and Blaise saw that there were already four beds with four tall bedposts so that if they wanted privacy they could close the emerald curtains, Harry saw that in one of the bed posts Hedwig was perched at the top with Copper slithering her way to the top at the sight of their master. He also noticed that his black leather trunk was on that same bed.

"I guess this one is mine" Harry thought as he approached the bed to greet his familiars.

"Copper, Hedwig, nice to see you, did you behave well?" Harry asked his familiars.

"Yesss, we did, your owl was flying all over the room" Copper replied.

"Nice to know that" Harry replied, then he felt a poke in his shoulder, Harry turned and saw Blaise behind him with a surprise expression.

"Harry, did you just hissed at your snake?" Blaise asked befuddled

"Yes, I talk to Copper all the time, this is her by the way" Harry replied showing the snake

"Really? So you're a parseltongue user" Gregory said joining Blaise and Vincent.

"That's not weird to you right?" Harry asked.

"I don't mind, but this shows just how much you were meant to be in Slytherin" Vincent said

"You must be a Salazar's descendant to have that ability" Blaise said

"Or I could have gained it from someplace else, I've read about parseltongue, it's not a defining trait of the Slytherin family" Harry replied.

"Could be, still it would be wicked that you turned out to be a descendant from the greatest of the Four Founders of Hogwarts" Gregory said excited.

"Honestly it does sound cool" Harry replied with a grin.

--

At the other side of the corridor the Slytherin girls arrived at their new dorm rooms, and after claiming their bed and belongings, all of them began writing to their parents.

Millicent was smiling as she wrote the letter to her parents, the plump girl wrote on the parchment with her favorite quill as well as the special blue ink her father had gifted her before entering school.

"Dearest father and mother, it's me, Millie, I write home to inform you that I've been sorted into Slytherin, who would have thought right? Ha ha, I thought for a second that I would end up in Hufflepuff, anyway, I'm doing just fine, my year mates seem nice enough, I'm with Daphne and Tracy, so far nobody laughed at my weight and luckily I'm not the tallest in our year, that honor goes to the muggleborn boy named Harry Wayne, don't know if you remember him from the times you took me to the Longbottom Manor to play, well if you don't remember then let me tell you that he is the sweetest, well-mannered and most polite boy I've ever met, I know mom said that I would find love in Hogwarts just like you two found each other, perhaps this boy could be my sweetheart? I don't know about that, besides what boy would want to date me, anyway, I love you and can't wait to your reply With love Millie.

P.S. Harry's father, an American muggle named Bruce Wayne, is an entrepreneur and owner of many enterprises all around the world, just in case you would be interested in doing business with the man." Millie wrote on her letter to her parents.

--

Tracey's letter to her parents said the following:

"Dear mom and dad, its Tracey, remember the Wayne kid that played alongside Neville as we grew up? Well today on the sorting ceremony he was sorted into Slytherin, can you believe it?! A muggleborn in Slytherin, I'm sure Salazar Slytherin would've fainted if he had found out, anyway, I, as well as the rest of the Slytherin table, found out that the boy is LOADED, and when I say loaded I'm saying LOADED, his father has billions of galleons worth of enterprises in the muggle world, I recommend you start looking for a betrothal with the man or another girl will snatch him from our hands –Love Tracey.

P.S. If you hadn't guessed I ended up in Slytherin."

--

Daphne on the other hand wrote with quickness and politeness to her parents, not for anything the girl was known as an Ice Princess by her peers.

"Respected Mother, Father and Astoria, this is Daphne, I write to you to tell you that I arrived at Hogwarts well, mother was right the sight of the castle is breathtaking, I was sorted into Slytherin as it would've been expected, I began forming alliances with my year mates, so far the other Slytherins look right enough, I'm with Vincent, Pansy, Gregory, the Zabini's boy Blaise, with Millie and Tracy, as well as that muggleborn boy, Neville Longbottom's friend, Harry Wayne, it's too early to call him my friend since we only see each other on Neville's birthdays but the boy is charming and well-mannered so that's a plus, I wouldn't have patience for someone who were rude or had bad manners, like Sam Flint's for example, also I need to tell you that the boy's father, an American businessman named Bruce Wayne, has an enormous fortune to his name, it would be wise to invest on his business and perhaps pursue an alliance with him, I would even consider to accept a betrothal with the muggleborn boy who has manners than with a pureblood who has none. With respect Daphne Greengrass.

P.S. I left a present for Story so that she doesn't miss me while I'm at Hogwarts.

--

Pansy on the other hand wasn't looking for a big conversation, so she almost went straight to the point

"Father, this is Pansy, I know you have been looking for a boy my age to make a betrothal contract, if you haven't found a willing participant or someone who has the right amount of money I would suggest to investigate a muggle named Bruce Wayne, he has a son in my year and get this, he HAS 1.3 BILLION GALLEONS TO HIS NAME!!! is you don't realize just yet that's the double of the amount the extinct Malfoy house, Nott, Goyle, Yaxley, Greengrass, Bulstrode, Crabbe, Zabini, Parkinson, Davis and Flint have TOGETHER, I know the boy's status goes against our traditions but would it be the end of the world if we accept a muggleborn into our ranks? Sincerely your daughter Pansy"

--

Once the four girls ended writing their letters they secretly called for one of their House-Elves to deliver the letter to their parents as quickly as possible, time was on the essence they thought to themselves.

Unbeknownst to the four Slytherin girls at the same time other girls began writing letters to their parents, why? Because when Harry revealed how much money his father had, a Hufflepuff girl overheard their conversation and quickly talked about with her friends who talked to their friends who talked to their friends and in the end all of the Hogwarts girls from first to eight year knew how much money Harry Wayne had.

--

Harry just couldn't sleep, he didn't know if it was due to the jetlag, something he thought he had taken care of, or the fact that he was on an unknown place or the fact that Vincent and Gregory snored as loud as a bulldozer. He looked at his watch and saw that it was past 1am, he look around and saw that Blaise as well was awake.

"Can't sleep?" Harry asked the other boy

"Yeah, want to talk?" Blaise asked

"About?" Harry asked

"I don't know, like how did you found out about this school?" Blaise asked

"Well Professor McGonagall married my dad's butler, a man named Alfred Pennyworth" Harry explained

"Wicked, so why didn't you went to Gryffindor?" Blaise asked

"It was the Hat's decision, not mine, do you think that other Slytherins will treat me as bad as Marcus Flint?" Harry wondered, he always tried to make friends with everyone he met but some people were bullies and he didn't like bullies.

"I don't know, I can't assure you that everyone is going to treat you with respect, the Britain Wizarding community has a stick up their ass and are pretty bigoted, just look at me, I come from a pureblood family and many people treat my family and me like shit, they think they're superior to us because we're black" Blaise said with bitterness.

"You're black?" Harry asked joking making the other boy chuckle

"Well I don't care about status or skin color, if you're my friend then I'll got your back" Harry said to the other boy

"Boy you're a crazy muggleborn, I can see that you're going to shake things up" Blaise said before a yawn sent him to Morpheus' arms.

"Good night Blaise" Harry quietly muttered to the other boy. Yes he was going to shake things up, not only in Slytherin but in the whole world.

--

Harry woke up with the sound of his watch's alarm, he turned it off when he saw that it was 5:30 in the morning, he saw that Copper and Hedwig were still asleep so he quickly changed into his track suit as well as a sports sweater, he put his utility belt and went to take his morning run.

He passed the deserted halls and corridors of the enormous castle, he saw that even the caretaker, Mr. Filch and his cat, were asleep in a chair near the entrance, drool coming from the man's mouth into his shirt, he opened the door just enough so he could pass. Then he inhaled deeply and began to make his morning stretches, once he was warmed up he began to run.

He ran away from the entrance towards the boat house from which he arrived yesterday, the walk downstairs was enough to send a lot of energy to his body and the weather, while cold, made him feel reinvigorated. Often in the Wayne manor Damian, Helena, Dad, Mom Selina, Mom Talia and him went on a morning run to keep themselves in shape, he wasn't going to get sloppy now that he was away.

He finally arrived at the edge of the lake, he was intrigued of the silhouette he saw last night, he took a break there to catch a break and take a sip of water. He was contemplating the scenery when a big gray dog came running to him, a Neapolitan mastiff if he was correct, Harry wasn't worried about the dog, after all it didn't look menacing, but still he was ready in case he needed to run.

The dog approached the boy and after a small growl the dog proceed to lick the boy's face.

"Thanks buddy, I needed that" Harry said while petting the dog's head.

While Harry was petting the dog he saw a hulking figure approach them, it was someone he could easily identify.

"Watcha doin 'ere Harry?" Hagrid asked Harry.

"Not much, just on my morning run, and you?" Harry asked the gigantic man.

"Just takin' Fang for a stroll, he likes the mornin' breeze" Hagrid said.

"So that's his name, nice to meet you Fang" Harry said greeting the dog.

"How's yer owl treatin' ye?" Hagrid asked him

"She's doing great, I was worried about she and Copper not getting along but they treat each other just as fine" Harry said

"Who's Copper?" Hagrid asked

"It's my pet snake, a cotton mouth snake, I found her two years ago on a bike track with my siblings" Harry explained

"Oh that's fine Harry, so you talk with yer Copper?" Hagrid asked

"Yes, she likes to talk a lot" Harry said "I'm a parselmouth, I hope that's not a bad thing for" Harry said

"No, though I had a bad experience a few years ago with one" Hagrid said

"Oh that's too bad" Harry replied

"Don' worry, I learn not to trust as easily" Hagrid replied

"And the boy what did he do to you?" Harry asked

"He told the director of my time, that I 'ad an Acromantula" Hagrid began to sob

"Hagrid, it's ok, but I don't think you can have an Acromantula as a pet" Harry said beginning to comfort the large man

"I know, but I was angry because I got expelled fo' that" Hagrid said between sobs.

Harry took a tissue from his utility belt and offered to him

"Thanks 'arry" Hagrid said as he cleaned his tears.

"It's ok, I'm still sorry to hear you got expelled for that" Harry said, he stayed with Hagrid for other twenty minutes or so and when his alarm sounded he had to return to the castle for breakfast and a shower.

"Sorry Hagrid, I have to return" Harry apologized

"It's okay 'arry, I liked talkin' to ye" Hagrid replied.

Harry ran once again to the castle, though not as deserted as before he could see that many students were already up and moving towards the Great Hall, Harry went to the dungeons towards the Slytherin Common room, in it he only saw Daphne and Tracey who had a towel on their shoulders as well as soap and what seemed to be shampoo.

"Hey girls, had a nice sleep?" Harry asked

"Yes, Harry, and you?" Tracey said quickly

"I did sleep fine" Harry smiled at them

"Why are you up so early? And what are those clothes you're wearing?" Daphne asked

"This? Oh this is my track suit, you like it?" He said referring to his black nylon pants and shirt that to the Pureblood girls looked too improper but at the same time let them see how well toned his body was making them blush.

"Y-yes, it's nice" Daphne stammered.

"It looks nice on you" Tracey said in an almost whisper.

"Hey are you going to the showers? Because I was going to shower as well, if you wait me for a second we can go together and then we can go to eat some breakfast" Harry said

"S-sure" Daphne stammered again

"Cool, I'll be back" He said in his Terminator impersonation.

Tracey quickly teased Daphne about her stammering and her blush but at the same time she didn't want to push her too far since she wanted Harry for herself.

Speaking of which the boy returned with a black and blue towel and a soap and a plastic bottle of shampoo with the Batman logo.

"What is that?" Daphne asked as the trio walked to the shower.

"This is my shampoo, in my country there's a lot of shampoo bottles with Superhero logos, I got this five bottle set which had the Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Flash and Martian Manhunter logo, the Batman one is the one I already had started" Harry explained.

"Oh that's nice. Our shampoo is jasmine extract" Daphne explain showing her glass bottle

"So that explains the scent if sniffed last night" Harry muttered but still Daphne heard him and blush

"Mine is rose extract" Tracey interject

"Yes, I sniff that as well, both of you smell lovely" Harry said making the girls blush even further

The trio reached the showers and parted ways, after fifteen minutes they walked out of the showers and walked once again to the common room.

"Hey Harry you woke up early" Blaise said as he walked with a towel over his shoulder and his bathroom utensils.

"Yeah, sorry Blaise, I didn't wanted to bother you, I hope you're not upset" Harry said

"None taken, it was fine, see you on the great hall" Blaise said as he rushed to the showers.

Harry once again parted ways from his two companions and went to dress up, he put his smoke gray pants, his white shirt, his emerald green and silver Slytherin tie in a double Windsor knot, his smoke gray vest, and the black robes, and tucked beneath all of that was his Silver Ankh he had received from Dr. Fate a few days ago.

He went to the common room sofas to wait for Daphne and Tracey and he saw Pansy and Millie walked out from their bedrooms.

"Good morning girls, you look gorgeous" Harry complimented the half-asleep girls and he earned a glare from Pansy.

"Good morning Harry, I see that you woke up early" Millie said in a shy tone.

"Yes, I went to do a morning run, did you slept well?" Harry asked

"Yes, it was a pleasant night" Millie said

"And you Pansy?" Harry asked the black haired girl

"I slept well thank you very much, now we need to shower before going to eat breakfast, will we see you there?" Pansy asked with a very keen interest.

"Yes, I'll go with Daphne and Tracey, though I want to see if my friends and cousins are there as well" He explained, then he saw the other girls walked out fully dressed in their gray skirt uniforms.

"Shall we go?" Daphne asked.

"Sure, ladies, if you excuse me" Harry said as he walked to the other girls who quickly claimed one of his arms by linking their elbows together.

"Let's go" Tracey replied.

--

The trio walked linked together to the Great Hall, Harry wanted to introduce his new friends to Draco, but his cousin wasn't on the Great Hall just yet, but a bushy haired brunette with braces, a serious looking raven-haired girl with purple eyes and a caramel skinned girl were already sitting at their table the trio were talking with two Asian looking girls. He guided the two girls that were still clanged into his arms to the Ravenclaw table that had some students but wasn't at its maximum capacity.

"Hello Hermione, hello Rachel, hello Padma, did you sleep well?" Harry asked. Hermione's face illuminated as she saw him and went to hug him which made Tracey and Daphne retreat in shock. "That's a yes I think" Harry said

"Yes, my house is amazing! We have so much things about knowledge to talk about, there are tons of books to compete with the public library at home and there's a sweet and calming scent on the common room, do you want to join us for breakfast, although I think you'll be with your new friends" Hermione said looking at the brunette and the blonde.

"Oh where are my manners? Daphne Greengrass, Tracey Davis, meet my very good friends Hermione Granger, Padma Patil and Rachel Roth" Harry said introducing the girls.

"And this are Su Li and Cho Chang, she's in second year" Hermione introduce her Ravenclaw friends.

"If you excuse us, we have to eat breakfast" Daphne said

"Nonsense, they can eat with us" Rachel interjected motioning to the empty seats in the Ravenclaw table

"What do you mean Rachel? They can't sit with us, they're from another house" The girl that was introduced as Cho asked

"I've read the book of Hogwarts rules, in the Rule 289, addendum C: Every student must sit on their respective House table during the beginning of the year feast and the end of the year feast, special events like Samhain, Yule and Hogwarts' Founders Day, during common days they can eat at whatever table they want to support the interaction between students" Rachel said making everyone look at her in shock.

"Well that settles it, if you accept us we would be honored to eat with you" Harry said while looking at Daphne and Tracey who looked confused.

"Sure, I don't mind" Daphne said after a moment of doubt.

"Alright!" Tracey added.

The Slytherin trio sat in front of Cho, Su and Rachel with Hermione next to Harry, which annoyed Tracey who had to sit next to Daphne instead of being next to Harry, the girls, except for Hermione and Rachel, took some pumpkin juice and bread with jam or fruit while Harry asked for orange juice and fruit.

"Aren't you eating anything else?" Su asked.

"No, yesterday I took advantage of the feast so I need to compensate today" Harry said with a small laugh

"Why?" Su asked

"Harry has a strict diet which he follows step by step, I have to guess that he indulged himself during the feast and now he doesn't want to gain pounds, am I correct Harry?" Rachel said

"Yes, dad thought me to eat better but still he says that only in feasts we're allowed to eat more" Harry replied.

"Are you close to your father?" Daphne asked

"Yes, he always looks for the best for my siblings and me"

Harry responded.

"Do you have siblings? Male or female?" Tracey asked very interested

"Well I have three older brothers who are already on their twenties, one of them already is in a relationship with two girls, my two older sisters are sort of single, its a complicated relationship they have I don't want to mention, my brother Damian is my age, but I'm pretty sure he is already taken" Harry smiled smugly at Rachel who blushed and looked at her orange juice "And my baby sister Helena who has 9 years old, she's actually a witch so she'll be joining us in two years" He said.

"So the only single member of the Wayne family our age is you?" Tracey asked with a knowing look at Daphne

"Pretty much yes" Harry revealed not understanding the look the girls shared amongst themselves.

"So what classes do you have?" Hermione asked

"I don't know we haven't gotten our schedule" Daphne responded

"Neither do we" Su responded.

"Don't worry, if something is to be expected the classes will be the same as last year" Cho responded. "You'll probably will be sharing Potions, History of the Magical and Non Magical World and Flying lessons, Astronomy and DADA which is shared by every House." Cho added.

"That's nice to know" Hermione said "Though I'm nervous about Flying" She muttered

"Nervous about flying?" Daphne asked

"Yes, I have never flew before, except on an airplane but not on a broom" Hermione responded.

"Don't worry Hermione if I learned how to do it you'll be able to do it as well" Harry reassured his friend.

"Thanks Harry" Hermione smiled.

The group continued their breakfast together and were not bothered except for some Ravenclaws or Slytherin who looked at them with a weird stare but didn't mentioned anything. Harry side glanced and saw that the diminutive professor and the dark robed professor he saw last night were walking towards them.

"My, oh my, it's quite a surprise to see Eagles and Snakes sharing a meal together" The small professor said.

"It its but with Governor's board newest politics I'm not surprised" The dark robed professor responded.

"Good morning, who are you?" Harry asked

"Oh where are my manners? My name is Professor Filius Flitwick, charms professor, and this is Professor Severus Snape, potions master" Professor Flitwick responded.

Harry stood up and stretch his hand "Nice to meet you, I'm Harry, Harry Wayne" He said and both professors shook his hand.

"Here are your schedule Mr. Wayne" Professor Snape said giving Harry a parchment, then he proceed to give one to Daphne and Tracey "Let's hope that you remember next time that the Slytherins sit together on special occasions"

"Yes professor, but we were eating with some new friends" Harry said

"Severus we should see this as a cunning thing to do, gain allies and friends from other Houses helps improving one's strength" Professor Flitwick said.

"Very well, though I'm still surprised of having a muggleborn in my ranks, Wayne, if you have trouble with any student don't be afraid of asking for my intervention" Professor Snape said.

"Thank you professor, but I'm pretty sure I can watch my back by my own" Harry said

"Besides he won't be alone" Hermione said.

"Very well, proceed with your breakfast" Professor Snape said to the students as him and Flitwick moved to the other groups at the respective tables.

The girls began comparing their schedule of classes, just like Cho said the Slytherin and Ravenclaw houses share some classes.

 Ravenclaw Class Schedule:

 -Monday: Potions, three hours, shared with Slytherin

 Mathematics, three hours, shared with Gryffindor

 -Tuesday: Charms, three hours, shared with Hufflepuff

 History of Magical and Non-Magical World, three hours, shared with Slytherin

 -Wednesday: Transfiguration, three hours, shared with Hufflepuff

 Latin and English, three hours, shared with Gryffindor

 -Thursday: Adapting to the Wizarding world, three hours, shared with Gryffindor

 Adapting to the Muggle World, three hours, shared with Hufflepuff

 -Friday: Flying lessons, three hours, all houses.

 Defense Against the Dark Arts, three hours, all houses.

 In the night, Astronomy, three hours, all houses.

"Looks like we'll get to know magical manners" Hermione said after she and the other Ravenclaw ended reading their parchment.

"And we'll learn about muggle society" Daphne said after she finished reading her Slytherin parchment.

"That's a great way of learning of both worlds, don't you think?" Harry said.

"If you say so" Daphne replied as she continued with her breakfast.

Harry had finish eating when he saw a familiar scar faced man sit on the Teachers' table. He smiled and, after excuse himself from his friends went to say hello.

"Uncle Remus!" Harry said

"Here it's professor Lupin, Mr. Wayne" Professor Lupin replied with a grin but he still hugged his adopted nephew.

"You never told us you were working here" Harry said

"I couldn't said, it's a secret" He replied

"So what classes are you teaching?" Harry asked

"History of Magical and Non-Magical World, I've been in that post for six years, you have to thank your Aunt Narcissa for that" Professor Lupin said

"Why?" Harry asked

"She's in the Governor's Board, she has moved a lot of things that have been helping in the integration of Wizards and Witches into the regular world" Professor Lupin said

"That's nice" Harry replied

--

Last night in Wayne Enterprises, London, UK…

Bruce Wayne had been working late in his Wayne Enterprises office in his London subsidiary, a few hours ago he had left his son Harry on the train station so he could get his magical education. Damian, Helena, Selina and Talia had gone to the Grimmauld Place house to rest while he had been working in new projects and signing urgent documents. He was about to call off for the night when many, many taps began to be heard on his window.

He was confused, after all he didn't expected to hear from Harry so soon, but neither of the owls that were perched on the window were his son's snowy white owl. He opened the window and one by one the owls began to leave letters on his hands and flew away.

"Cynthia" Bruce called his assistant who were sleeping on her desk.

"Yes Mr. Wayne?" The twenty something blonde girl peek her head through the door.

"Get me Sirius Black on the phone please" Bruce said

"Yes Mr. Wayne" The girl said

--

At the same time on Grimmauld Place

Auburn haired Amelia Bones-Black, walked downstairs towards the living room were her husband Sirius Black-Bones read a book, she had a knowing grin on her face.

"The triplets finally went to sleep" Amelia said as she sat on her husband's lap.

"So that means we're alone" Sirius said as he grinned back to his wife and tease her while rubbing her tight with his hand.

"We have guests" Amelia said

"They're probably asleep as well" Sirius replied

"They could wake up any second" Amelia said

"Then we better hurry" Sirius said as he kissed her neck

"Let me put a contraceptive spell on me so we don't have more children" Amelia said as she was taking her wand out

"Nonsense, we already had twins and triplets, let's try for quadruplets" Sirius grinned widely

"No! Bad dog!" She scorned him making him whimper, but then he began to waving "seductively" his eyebrows

"Have I told you how hot you look with your new hair color? Not that I had something against your gray hair but you look simply stunning as a brunette" Sirius said to his wife trying to get into her good grace.

"Horny dog" She said to him and as she was about to cast the spell his cellphone rang making him groan.

"Who could be at this hour?" Amelia groaned as well. It wasn't common for them to have a minute of peace to themselves and now that they had they were interrupted.

"I can think of one person who is completely awake at night" Sirius said as he picked up his cellphone and answered the call. "Sirius Black here"

"Mr. Black, Mr. Wayne wishes to talk to you" Cynthia said on the other side of the call.

"Pass me to your boss then" Sirius said to the girl.

"That will be all for tonight Cynthia" Was heard from the other side of the line "Sirius, I know you're with Amelia, I need you both here now" He said to them

"You are on speaker, why?" Sirius and Amelia asked

"I'm being asked for Harry's hand in marriage" Bruce said making husband and wife being shocked

"What?! How many are asking for his hand?" They asked.

"So far I have letters from Greengrass, Bulstrode, Davis and Parkinson" Bruce listed

"So far?!" They said in unison.

"I believe I'll be receiving more letters tomorrow, this are the ones who think that time is of the essence" Bruce said

"Bruce, I believe your son is Hogwarts' most eligible bachelor" Amelia said joking.
