Chereads / Night Owl | Harry Potter FF (DROPPED) / Chapter 44 - Sorting Hat

Chapter 44 - Sorting Hat

"Draco Malfoy!"

McGonagall calls, and many were interested on the pureblood that shines his blond hair under the firey lights.

He stands proudly, like he's in an election thing or something, he then sat on the stool for a bit, as McGonagall puts the Sorting Hat above, only for few milliseconds, announcing, "SLYTHERIN!"

It was loud and clear, and the Slytherins are the only one cheering, going to the next name, "Faust Demetrius!"

It seems it was Elliot's turn. Him moving was obvious due to his tall height, and probably glistening face. Big emerald eyes, well sculpted nose, pink fresh lips, and the right styled hair finishing it off.

Loads of higher years started cheering already, mostly girls while the boys boos. Elliot gulps for a bit, going up the stairs feeling weird as he can clearly see the heads of his classmates.

Sitting, he felt the Sorting Hat above his head making weird expressions.

'A reincarnator eh? First time at that! How interesting..... Definitely not Hufflepuff... you work smart not hard,'

It seems to surprised Elliot the fact that the hat can easily see his true self. Only laughing nervously, but he was in relief seeing how he's definitely not a Hufflepuff in this life.

'.... Gryffindor.....you're not reckless too, smart at avoiding pointless fights.... then either Ravenclaw and Slytherin eh?' The hat continued.

Elliot thought Ravenclaw would be fitting, he's smart and has done many things that includes his intelligence. His future knowledge also seems to go along in.

' well, I guess the best for.... a manipulative mind for you, '

It took a second before Elliot manage to take in the last words, only to be cut.

"SLYTHERIN!"

The Slytherins yet again were cheering, some few people in other houses. Elliot was feeling rather odd, but after being placed in his house, his eyes landed on Malfoy who stared at him with bugging eyes. Sweat dropping as he ignores Elliot's back stare.

Elliot grinned a bit, that's a good thing. Coming to the Slytherins table, all the pureblood didn't care for him, only the Muggles that proudly take his hands shaking them. Elliot shakes back to try not put them off.

He sat between some other few people, as they then stared back at the High Tables.

The sorting continued, everyone going silent as Harry was called, erupting in madness as he was placed into the Potter's usual house, and it seems one student was gone now that Elliot is accepted. Exactly 40 people, 10 each houses. Justin was placed in Ravenclaw... very surprising..... and Tasia at Gryffindors.... a thing to be baffled about....

The feast began as McGonagall took the attention of all, only for Dumbledore to announce the feast has now began, and every plates just flipped, now bearing foods, mostly unhealthy and all. Chickens, Pork Chops, hell the only healthy there is the potatoes, and yet, it's even fried still!

If one rather really really treasures his body, strict diet is a priority. Elliot carefully picked the foods that contains balance diet, as his muscle will then sog in few months if he eats like Ron over there.

But most didn't cared about that, the pureblood having no etiquettes at all, they barge in, eating like someone who hasn't got their best treatment back in their home. Unlike Elliot who learned from the elegant Raizel, who seems to have etiquette for all movements apparently.

Elliot took a glimpse to the two, Justin, quiet in his seat, opposite with Tasia, greeting all Gryffindors with her cheerful personality. Helping them change at least will do, he was in debt to them as both were the two stepping stone he had. Starting from the very first time he arrived here, from the first job to all. Yet all he only was able to give gifts and all. When he became to what he is now because of them in the first place.

That's what 'friends' do after all they said back then, well then, Elliot should pay them back. The two are very confused about this world. Even though Professor McGonagall already came in the orphanage to explain it to them, apparently finding me as there are three children to be explained onto. But he moved too fast and sent an owl back immediately, meaning, he doesn't need any staffs to explain it to him then.... Well, this may be the last time he has someone at his age to be his companion. Both would be great if they were more skilled, they're already talented anyway. But then, the things he will do from now on will bring them to trouble, so might be the last time....

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

After the feast and the ghost popping out, Slytherin's male prefect, a Bulstrode, soon led them to the dungeon. Lots of them are pretty disgusted about it, stingy of how it's placed in a lowly and dirty like place.

It still came to shock Elliot of his now Slytherin's house. Was he that ambitious? Resourceful, sure, but main qualities are being ambitious if he reckons.

"Our emblem is the serpent, the wisest of creatures; our house colours are emerald green and silver, and our common room lies behind a concealed entrance down in the dungeons. As you'll see, its windows look out into the depths of the Hogwarts lake. We often see the giant squid swooshing by — and sometimes more interesting creatures. We like to feel that our hangout has the aura of a mysterious, underwater shipwreck." The prefect explained about something of the common room. Where as Elliot's fellow Slytherin's then started to change a bit and actually observe their settings.

The Slytherin Dungeon, or the the Slytherin Common Room basically. In general, it sports several shades of green and the mantle is adorned with a portrait of a serpent, practically all those things that points outs to the house characteristics.

They got in by the door on the right side of the Entrance Hall that is most frequently used by Slytherin students to get to their common room. Behind the door is a set of stone steps which descend deep into the dungeons.

The entrance to the common room is located behind a bare stretch of stone wall in the dungeons of Hogwarts Castle. After arriving, they stopped for a second, as Bulstrode revealed their password with a silent yet clear.

"Now cmon here, every common room bears a password only for its students to know. Don't dare even share it with others, now watch closely, with clear voice, Anagnóstis metafrastí pou vlépo

..." The prefect explained, as the stone wall opened revealing the room inside.

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.

Some were in awe, while others walks proudly like they been here since their birth before, mug faces. It's very fancy unlike in Hufflepuff's common room, mostly cute and very bright due to the yellow walls. It's also very full of plants and pretty blinding.

Elliot now then goes off to the room, ignoring others and Draco's frequent stare at him. Remembering the password, Anagnóstis metafrastí pou vlépo, he proceeded then.

The common room is decorated mostly with greenish lamps and chairs. The dungeon room extends partway under the lake, giving the light in the room a green tinge. The common room has lots of low backed black and dark green button-tufted, leather sofas; skulls; and dark wood cupboards. One of the wooden tables has a Wizard's Chess set on it. It is decorated with tapestries featuring the adventures of famous Medieval Slytherins. It has quite a grand atmosphere, but also quite a cold one. Noticeably, in the corner were bunch of luggage that the students have. One of them being Elliot's. He didn't bother talking to others, so he immediately got his luggage with him.

In the side door, it's where the rooms of four people will house in. There was no assigned people in a particular room so everywhere will do. Elliot then picked the first room in the left side, going in, it holds two bunk beds with green blankets and pillows, with two bed tables, two closets, and the green lamps hanged in the walls. How unfortunate...it's too greeny to look at, and also dark.

He opened his luggage, seeing bunch of Muggle and also Wizarding clothes packed nicely by Raizel. There are the books and equipment all in together at a package placed carefully. And in a safe place is a wand and a wand holster together. The wand is rather a particular one. The crystal in the end just rather gives It off. He brush that thought of going to work.

He mostly now used his index finger as a wand. Because then, using wand will be just easier than squeezing a lemon if he masters wandless spells soon enough. Using spells, he then categorized things sorting them to where it should be, clothes in the closets, equipments beside the bunk bed, and those things.

Outside the luggage is an attached timetable, Elliot then took it reading.
