After the selection, all students were instructed to follow the representatives of their house, in the case of Slytherin it was Severus Snape, a man apparently bitter and completely impartial about other people's lives, he explained how the house of snakes works, a place where strength and cunning rule. he himself also talked about walking in groups never alone unless he is powerful or stupid enough.
After of this and went out to the teachers' quarters and ordered everyone to go to their rooms, where Cain ended up staying with Robert, thus leaving Daniel alone at his request saying "I want to try something" he didn't explain and it wasn't even necessary after all they trusted the brother.
By Robert's choice, they ended up with the room furthest from the hall, upon entering the room they had a view of a dark place with two beds with a large window to observe the black lake, indeed a beautiful choice on Robert's part, although Cain would never say that to himself.
They packed their things quickly and efficiently like soldiers and said goodbye to talk for a while.
"so what are we going to do now, stay quiet and observe the behavior of the other students or fuck off" he said Robert, without the slightest respect expected from a nobleman, Cain, who remained silent for a few seconds, said "let's observe and improve ourselves this year, opportunities may arise and only then will we act, otherwise silence is the best option" Robert seemed to be thinking about something "you said we started the plan right after we were accepted" Cain stopped and said "that was before I knew Dumbledore he's keeping an eye on us, I don't know anything about him or his intentions so it's safe to wait" Robert looked at him smiling and blurted out "are you sure you're not postponing your plans to court Miss Lovegood" Cain just stared at Robert and said " good night" and turned off the lights that illuminated the room and fell asleep listening to Robert's laughs and jokes.
The next day they woke up early, took a shower and got ready to face the first day of school, they chose to maintain a military posture, something unusual among children, which made them stand out among the others, in the common room the names of Cain and Daniel were sometimes mentioned.
Cain maintained his usual cold face while Robert opted for his mocking smile and defiant gaze, which among the first years was intimidating given his size, of the same.
They and the other students were taken to the hall where all meals would be served and which, by the way, was empty and the snakes were the first to arrive.
Soon after the Slytherins entered, the teachers and Ravenclaws came and a few minutes later the Hufflepuffs and finally after half an hour the Gryffindors began to appear little by little, Cain who was analyzing the students didn't notice someone approached his back until he placed his hand on his shoulder, and looking at who it was he found Kaito having a fake smile on his face "good morning, can I sit down" he asked, still smiling Cain exchanged glances with Robert who nodded in competition and so Kaito who was supposed to be in Ravenclaw sat at the table reserved for Slytherin.
Which by the way were instantly hostile to his presence and noticing this he declared "Good morning gentlemen, I am Kaito Fujiwara, a wizard from a noble family in Japan, having a completely pure lineage for 30 generations and it is an honor to meet you" his words put an end to any hostility from the house of snakes, after all, nobles are always welcome.
Cain being smart noticed that Kaito was interested in them for some reason.
"you you're attracting a lot of attention" said Cain not liking the look of the other houses and teachers Kaito just looked around smiling "so you're reserved" he said looking at Cain, who didn't respond.
The cafe was annoying for Cain thanks to the stares of the other students and teachers, Robert kept an eye on Daniel the whole time, thinking about what his other brother was doing.
Daniel by his turn was testing the students, if he stayed with Cain and Robert the others would be wary of offending the Winters and Blackwoods, but alone, despite carrying the noble surname, the Malfoy name was still bigger, and the other purebloods would use him to drag the name of his former family for lama.
The first to laugh at him were the Dunfords, a recently established noble family who were conquered a lot of space due to Camila Dunford, a Potions master who invented a healing elixir much better than the previous ones.
Then we have the Castles and Adans who have taken a disrespectful stance and will choose to ignore and belittle the same.
At that time, these poor things caused the end of their lineage without even knowing it.
The coffee went well apart from the occasional glances and jokes, after that They went to classes and that day there weren't even any interesting classes, Cain just read Dark Domination and understood a few more things about power.
After dinner the students returned to their rooms where upon entering they found Daniel sitting on Robert's bed reading the book "Faith and Sins".
"So what the fuck were you doing" asked Robert laying down on Cain's bed "I I was testing the students and Dunford Adans and Castles are total idiots and are useless" at that moment Cain understood Daniel was making an elimination by judging the attitudes of the other heirs, intelligent but slow and ineffective.
"the others remained neutral or indifferent" he said the same, Robert and Cain said nothing but agreed with what he said about some noble and Cain decided to talk about what he discovered.
"I was reflecting on the book and the stories of my ancestors and I thought, if the power of the book is alive and equal why are the stories different Casium talks about seeing the invisible and hearing truths while Kiara talks about beauty and raw power" Cain stopped and gave the others a few seconds to think and continued "so I decided to look at the next chapter and found the reason…" Robert and Daniel were curious and opening the last page of the book there was "Demons and their art".
His brothers were shocked by this after all, all the books about demons were burned by goblins and wizards all over the world, that knowledge shouldn't belong to humans it wasn't natural, no one could face a demon or even look at them.
Saying that those books could causing a war was not enough, all of them would be killed for just having knowledge of the existence of the books and reports made by the Winters, the wizarding community considers demoniology and soul magic to be the biggest taboo in existence.
And all three felt butterflies in their stomachs remembering that with them at school was the supreme wizard and the current most influential and powerful lord of light in history since Merlin.
"you know that if these books are discovered we are dead" said Daniel with more seriousness than usual' Robert was silent he was with Cain until the end.
"It can kill us but also change our world, imagine a legion worshiping us, think about evolving the wizarding world and transforming everything that exists and is known" said Cain in an inspiring way, thinking about a perfect future.
"and if the current society doesn't want to change" asked Daniel and Cain just looked without answering "then we will build an immortal kingdom from scratch" said Robert losing his natural lazy look and replacing it with a sharp and deadly look like a chained wild animal "what if people stay on the way" replied Daniel and the one who gave a counter answer this time was Cain.
"So let's go over them" he replied with a serious face not befitting his age.
"Now we will be hawks flying through the Clear Sky over a valley of blood and bodies" said Daniel, pausing and continuing "I like that idea"
