"What you mean they can't use magic? Back then that vampire kicked the living daylight out of me with that Crusio of his.
Not to mention, that killing curse. If I hadn't awakened my inner Skywalker back then, I would have been toast." Orion argues back.
[Yes, you would be toast if your internal Integration technique hadn't kicked in back then, although heavily flawed I have to say that the technique has merits when you are against a wall.
And yes, vampires can't use magic, even though they do possess magic, you would have known this if you had studied a little about them.] Merlin sounded pretty calm throughout the conversation, once again refreshing the fact that the being standing in front of Orion was not your friendly neighbourhood Grandpa.
Merlin Emrys is a name which is nothing less than a god in this world, even people like Dumbledore have to acknowledge that. Wizards says Dumbledore is the second coming of Merlin. Total Bull crap, if only the wizarding world knew the gap between them and the wizards of the past, then they would never have thought about it.
Orion has seen the gap, and thus he understands that people like Merlin were really gods back then, not like there are many like Merlin.
"Come on, give me a break. I was busy getting stronger and finding a way to kick bullies butts back then," Orion whines not trying to hide that he should have found out about vampires back then but he didn't. Merlin on the side just sighed, almost like he had seen this multiple of times.
[Anyway coming back to the point, I am sure that now you are wondering how come you have the misfortune of suddenly facing a vampire who can use magic, Right ?] Merlin almost read Orion's facial features and said before Orion could himself.
"Hell Yeah, why do I have to take all the flying arrows all the time ?"
[Well, I honestly don't know why he was there but I can tell you that he was not completely a vampire, a hybrid if you say, the blood that he had was strong, stronger than any normal vampire has the right to have.
In short, either you killed a very newborn vampire who was thirsty for blood back then and happened to be a wizard before that, which clearly explains why he could use magic and had a wand or he attacked you and the dog as a vampire won't touch other animals if they had human blood in front of them. He would have lost his magic entirely sooner or later thanks to vampirism anyway.
Or ....] Merlin didn't complete the sentence.
"I have a feeling that I won't like what comes after this "OR" Orion eyes twitch as a familiar feeling comes to him. The feeling which was telling him that he fucked up.
[Or that vampire has to be a descendant of a pure-blood vampire coven]
"Son of a bi..."

After wasting much time cursing, Orion finally went to his dorm, and after changing his clothes, he sprung for the sorting ceremony, he didn't have to but he promised that he would spend more time with his friends this year. Not to mention, also socialised with others.
By the time he reached the main hall, he found the place was neatly decorated with many magical lights and flowers, while the entire place was radiating with magic, he didn't sense magic this well back then, he could this time because of his much developed magical circuits.
The moment he entered the hall, three mental attacks slammed onto him like bullets, even he didn't have time to decipher where they came from, not like he had too as there were only three in the hall who could do that?
'Good thing my mental shields are hidden with all important memories. Merlin's method of mind arts is much better,' Orion was internally relieved and slowly looked towards the three culprits.
'Dumbledore, Snape and one Nick Iron. Dumbledore is sitting in between many professors with an ever-so-pleasant smile on his face and twinkling eyes. The only problem here is that those twinkling eyes are on me like I am some kind of Zoo animal, they are not leaving me even once.
Snape was also pretty similar, glaring at me like he saw James Potter himself like, I am the president of Marauders.
And lastly, Nick....?' Orion suddenly stopped and blinked, he didn't find Nick on the Slytherin side,
'did he not come? but if so, then where does the third mental prompt come from ?' Orion question.
[Hmph, you might wanna look there] Merlin said pointing towards the Gryffindor side, Orion naturally followed the direction Merlin pointed to and had to take a double take.
'Why he is sitting on the Gryffindor table,' Orion almost said it out loud, 'no scratch that, why that bastard is sitting with Hermione?'
He could feel the foul magic radiating from him from his distance, even when they were surrounded by this many wizards and witches, even powerful mages like Dumbledore or Snape.
' There is no way that Dumbledore wouldn't notice this right? Even I have noticed,' Orion complains, why they are allowing him to be in Hogwarts even after sensing dark magic from him?
[Don't forget that every one sense doesn't work like yours, Even before absorbing the Philosopher stone and developing your Magic Circuits, you had very impressive magical senses, which have only improved after the big upgrade.
I doubt that even someone like Snape can feel the difference between normal magic and dark magic which Nick is surrounded with. But Dumbledore has noticed, why he is not doing anything, I am not sure] Merlin added and Orion found that he was standing at the entrance for too long and started finding himself a seat with his fellow Gryffindors.
Rose kept a place for him, [Sweet girl that one]. Orion quickly seat and looked around. "Where were you," Rose asked with a small voice, trying not to interrupt the sorting.
"Nothing just a quick nap," Orion offhandedly answered while his attention was still on the talking Nick and the giggling Hermione beside him.
"Rose, what going on with Hermione, why he is sitting beside that Slytherin Boy," Orion asked as he also noticed that McGonagall started staring at him with a gleam in her eyes, he met her before and even then she looked a little different.
It was almost the same gleam as Dumbledore had, not threatening but predatory all the same.
"Don't know, Ron said she was sitting with Nick in Hogwarts Express too," Rose said nonchalantly.
"I see,"
[What do you think? What's his angle here] Merlin asked.
"Not sure, but I will find out. I ain't letting anyone take my waifu," Orion said with a firm tone.
[Oh come on, grow up a little, this is no game. He is dangerous] Merlin sounded serious and thus Orion too became serious for once.
"I know, shit why do I have to take all the flying arrows. Seems like I have to play detective this year to find this bastard's identity and motives." Orion mutters slowly.
[Fair enough, I too would like a game of AMONG US. I bet he too is dying to find out about you] Merlin added with a little smirk, Maybe excited by the prospect of playing detective.
"Oh, believe me, he ain't the only one," Orion muttered while sending another look at Dumbles, Snape and even a little Ravenclaw girl who was staring at him after her sorting.
