Third person POV
The Hogwarts express was a truly magnificent sight to all privileged enough to see it. The beautiful red train was something no one would tire of looking at.
Within the train was also quite beautiful. And this is where we find a young man in the last compartment of the train fast asleep with the right side of his face against a window and ear buds stuck in his ears.
This young man's name was Asiru and he would like it if you called him Ace. No one on the train knows his last name and he'd like to keep it that way thank you very much. His hair color varied on his mood but it usually settled on an icy white like it was now. He was a metamorphmagus and was the first in his family.
Suddenly the compartment door slid open and a young girl entered silently. This girl has shoulder length light brown hair and hazel eyes. She silently took a seat across from the boy and pulled out the book Hogwarts: a history and began reading.
Suddenly the door slid open again and a small boy with black messy hair and emerald green eyes walked in.
"Err, do you mind if I sit here?" he asked politely, in a quiet voice. The girl gestured for him to go ahead and went back to reading.
A few moments went by and the train began to move and after a few minutes a redheaded boy came into the compartment. The boy was tall and lanky and his face had more than its fair share of freckles.
"Mind if I sit in here?" He asked kindly, but sort of loudly. "Everywhere else is full." He added.
"Not at all." Answered the boy who wasn't sleeping.
"Thanks." The boy sat across from him and noticed the sleeping boy next to him. "Who's this?" he asked. The other boy shrugged. "I'm Ron by the way, Ron Weasley." He said extending his hand.
"I'm Harry, Harry Potter." The other boy said shaking his hand. The red haired boys eyes widened in shock.
"Really?" He asked in a voice that matched his expression. "Can I see the scar?" He asked rudely. Thinking nothing of it Harry lifted his messy bangs to reveal the lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead. "Wicked." The other conscious member in the compartment was ignoring them as she was trying to learn all she could about Hogwarts before they got there.
A short time later the two were still talking animatedly when a witch came around with a trolley full of sweets. After buying everything on it Harry decided to wake up the other member of the compartment. He shook the boy and was surprised when he received no response. He shook him again and the boy just mumbled something in his sleep. The girl snapped her book shut.
"Allow me." She said. Harry sat down wondering what she was gonna do. She leaned in close to the boy and whispered something in his ear. The boy immediately shot up and went as red as Ron's hair. He looked at the girl horrified and then mumbled something that sounded suspiciously like 'never sleeping on the train again.' He pulled the ear buds he had in out and cursed himself for having them at such a low volume.
"It's very unladylike to whisper something like that into a stranger's ear." He said in a very disgusted tone.
"Well my name is Victoria Graham, you?" She stated.
"My name is Asiru, but you can call me Ace." He said, extending his hand. "And I would appreciate it if you never said anything like that again."
"No promises." She said in a sing song voice. Ace gave a very disgusted look and turned to the other occupants.
"Hello, I'm Ace." He said extending a hand to each of the confused boys.
"Ron Weasley." Said Ron.
"Harry Potter." Harry said. Ace did not give the expected reaction. Ace gave him an amused look.
"Well I hope your fame hasn't given you a big head." He said in an amused tone.
"Considering I didn't know of it until I entered the leaky cauldron to shop with Hagrid I don't think it has." He said in a matter of fact tone.
"I'm guessing you were raised by muggles?" he asked. When Harry nodded he seemed to be thinking. "After I ran away from home I lived with muggles for four years before I got my letter to come to Hogwarts." He said, in a faraway voice. "Not the nicest of people but they were better than my real family."
At that moment a bushy haired girl opened the compartment door. "Have any of you seen a toad?" She asked. "A boy named Neville's lost one."
"Only toad I've seen is sitting across from me." Ace said earning him a smack from Victoria. "It was a joke!" he yelled. "That was payback for that lewd image you put in my head a little bit ago." He added. Everyone turned back to the bushy haired girl and shook their heads in the negative.
"Well it's no matter." She said. She then took a look at each of them and noticed only the white haired boy had his robes on which were lightly draped on his shoulders and hanging wide open. "I would recommend changing into your robes; I expect we'll be arriving soon." With that said she left.
It was quiet for a moment and then a rat crawled out of Ron's pocket and started chewing on a piece of chocolate that was in his lap. This seemed to give the boy an idea and he picked the rat up.
"You guys wanna see a spell my brother taught me?" he asked. Everyone nodded and turned to watch. "Okay sunshine daisies butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow." He said and waved his wand at the rat. Instead of turning yellow the rat got shocked and ran over between Ron and Ace. Ace began to chuckle.
"You call that a spell?" Ace asked in amusement. "Here, I'll show you a real spell." As he said this, a sleek black wand with a fancy silver colored snake carved along its length slid out of his sleeve and he pointed his wand at Harry's broken and taped up glasses. "Oculus reparo." A small bolt shot from his wand to Harry's glasses and his glasses were instantly repaired. Harry took off his glasses and inspected them while Ron seemed to be staring at Ace's wand with wide eyes.
"Thanks." Harry said honestly.
"That can't be an Ollivander wand." Ron said as Ace slid the wand back up his sleeve with what appeared to be a practiced movement.
"Mr. Ollivander told me that the wand was nearly the first wand created in the shop." Ace said. "It was never owned or used other than to test that it did in fact work. 10 and a quarter inches, ebony wood, dragon heartstring, he said it was a very powerful and unique wand." He was looking at his sleeve where it was hidden as he said this.
"Well based off the design of it one would guess you would be put in Slytherin." Ron said. Ace gave a pained laugh.
"Unfortunately I most likely will be." He said to the shock of Ron. "My family hasn't gone to a wizarding School for thousands of years and has only been having people tutor them at home to avoid revealing to the world that the family still exists, but if I'm not put in Slytherin then I'm more of a disgrace to the family than I already am, and considering I was disowned that's saying something." Everyone in the compartment was looking at him in shock. He realized that while he was distracted by Ron Victoria and Harry had put on their robes. Ron stood up and grabbed his robes and slipped them on as well.
"What's wrong with Slytherin?" Asked Victoria, curiously.
"Bunch of evil witches and wizards come from Slytherin." Ron explained. "They hate muggleborns with a passion and their founder and his descendents were the biggest blood purists you'll ever hear of. Luckily all of his family has died off." He continued. "So what family are you from anyway Ace?" He asked.
"I'm sure you'll find out at the sorting." He said with a sad smile. "I'd like to have some real friends for at least a little longer." As he said this the Train began to slow and a voice was saying they had arrived. They disembarked and went over to a giant who was beckoning the first years to him. After all of the first years had gathered they headed over to some boats in the black lake. The four compartment compadres got in one together and around half way through Ace had an idea.
"Hey watch this." He whispered to the other boat members. After he whispered this he got up and pretended he was trying to get a better look and purposefully fell into the black lake. Invisible to all with how dark the lake was he pulled out his wand and cast red sparks out three times in different directions out of the water and resurfaced as he resleeved his wand. Harry helped him back in to the boat and all of the boat members were laughing and most of the other students and Hagrid looked either concerned or amused. Noticing their laughter Hagrid rolled his eyes and turned away with one thought on his mind.
'McGonagall is gonna have a fit when she finds out we got a new batch of pranksters.' This thought brought a smile to his face. 'Especially since ones a Potter and ones a Weasley.' They reached an underground port shortly and all the students disembarked, Ace still dripping wet.
"Alrigh' Professor McGonagall will be here to collect you shortly." Hagrid said over the buzz of conversation. "Sit tigh' and try not to get water everywhere." He added looking at Ace with a slightly amused grin. Ace put on a very innocent face.
"What? None of us here are wet." He said flinging out his arms in emphasis resulting in water splattering onto a platinum haired kid and two trollish looking kids next to him. "Except for those three." He added with a grin. Hagrid just shook his head and walked off. The three boys whom he had splashed water on walked over to the group of four. The small one with blonde hair had a sneer on his face and the two large boys were trying to come off as menacing. He sneered at the clothes Ace had on that were visible under the robes. Faded blue jeans and a Metallica t-shirt.
"I'll let what you just did slide this time since I doubt you understand what you did." The blond sneered. "Filthy mudblood." He added. The moment the final word left his mouth Ace's wand was against his throat.
"I'd watch that tongue of yours Malfoy or you might find it missing." He said threateningly as he pressed the wand harder against his throat. "I know full well what I did and who you are and I'll have you know that despite being a pureblood I absolutely loathe you and all other's who oppose blood equality." That said Ace slipped his wand back into his sleeve expertly just as McGonagall came into the room. She immediately noticed Ace's wet appearance and gave him a scathing look. He simply shrugged and gave her a grin. She rolled her eyes and waved her wand to dry him.
"We're ready for you all, if you'll please follow me." She said. They all followed her to the great hall and when they entered everyone gasped in awe. Ace could hear the bushy haired girl telling someone that the ceiling was bewitched to look like it was and decided to drop back beside her.
"Sup nerd." He said in a teasing tone. "Pretty impressive for a muggleborn to know the ceiling is just bewitched." He praised. The girl blushed lightly. "Ace." He said as he extended his hand.
"Hermione." The girl replied, taking his hand and giving it a light shake. Suddenly McGonagall cleared her throat from the front of the hall.
"Now before we begin Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words." She said once everyone had grown silent. Dumbledore stood at the high table.
"Thank you Minerva." He said quietly. "Now before we begin I would like to remind everyone that the forbidden forest is, as the name suggests, forbidden. Furthermore Mr. Filch would like me to remind you that magic in the corridors is forbidden. Lastly I would like to remind everyone that the third floor corridor is out of bounds to those who do not wish to die a most painful death." Dumbledore finished and sat down.
"Know where I'm going." Ace whispered in Hermione's ear. She smacked him.
"I forbid you from going there." She said sharply. They turned towards the front and noticed the sorting had started.
"Graham, Victoria" McGonagall called. 30 seconds later the hat called out Gryffindor and she went to sit at the table on the far right of the staff's perspective. "Granger, Hermione" Ace whispered good luck as she made her way up. Gryffindor. "Potter, Harry" a silent whispering overtook the hall as Harry went up to the sorting hat. A few minutes went by before the hat finally called out Gryffindor. Gryffindor broke out into cheers of 'we got potter' and wolf whistling. They calmed after a minute and the sorting continued. Shortly in to the S's McGonagall paused and had a very surprised look on her face. "S-Slytherin, Asiru" She stuttered out in a shocked tone. Ace began walking forward as the entire hall became so quiet you could hear a feather drop on the ground Dumbledore leaned forward as the hat was placed on Ace's head. 'Hmm very intriguing.' Said a voice in his head. 'Great ambition and cunning not to mention you are a Slytherin by blood. Extremely loyal in fact the only person I've met that was this loyal was Helga Hufflepuff, though Sirius Black was a close second. Brave beyond even Godric at the time of my creation though he became braver as time progressed. Very intelligent, used often for practical jokes I see. I think I'll put you in,' "Gryffindor!" The hat yelled out to the shock of all present. Even Albus Dumbledore was shocked. Then Gryffindor table began cheering with as much excitement as they had when Harry was sorted. Ace walked over to the Gryffindor table with a happily surprised look on his face.
"Alright Slytherin!" Shouted two identical redheads as he sat between Hermione and Victoria. He gave them both a thumbs up and flashed a smirk. He then turned to Victoria.
"Congrats Vic." He said and turned to Hermione. "You too Mione." He said. It did not escape their notice he already had a nickname for each of them. He then flashed a grin across the table at Harry and Ron. "This was an unexpected turn of events, eh?" He said in an amused tone. Dumbledore stood and raised his hands bringing the chatter to a stop.
"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts!" He said "That was an interesting sorting, now before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you." The entire hall clapped and Harry leaned over and whispered something into Ron's ear. Guessing what it was Ace answered him.
"Yes Dumbledore is mad as a hatter but he's also bloody brilliant." He said to Harry. Suddenly food appeared before them and Ace and all the non first years immediately dug in while the first years looked amazed for a moment. When the feast was over two prefects called the first years over and had them form two lines one male one female. Each prefect walked down their respective gender line and gave each student a timetable and transfigured their robes to the Gryffindor colors. They were then led all the way up to the seventh floor and were stopped at a portrait of a fat lady.
"Password." The fat lady asked them.
"Caput draconis." Said the male prefect. The portrait swung open to reveal a nice common room. The décor was red and gold as was the colors of Gryffindor. The prefect turned to address the first years. "This is your common room where you will be allowed to socialize, study, complete assignments and practice magic. The stairs you see on the right lead to the girl's dormitories. The left is the boys. Any student caught in a dormitory not their own after curfew will be given detention and a warning. In this case there is only one warning and after a second offense is expulsion. Curfew is 11 so be in the common room by then as to avoid a loss of house points. First year dormitories are at the very top so I suggest you all get to bed and get well rested for your first day of classes tomorrow. All of your things will already be there."
"Yeah, like I'm gonna sleep right now." Ace snorted. Harry and Ron nodded from beside him and he could see that Victoria was telling Hermione the same thing. "I'll be right back. Just gotta check on my pet." Ace said turning to Ron and Harry. They both nodded in understanding and Ace ran upstairs. As Ace entered the dorm he immediately noticed that his pet was in its cage on top of the trunk by the bed closest to the door. His pet immediately made an upset noise. "Sorry Salazar I know you don't like being locked up for anymore than an hour." He opened the cage with a wave of his wand and his solid black cat stepped out of its cage. If you had ever raised a cat from birth you'd probably guess the cat was about 4 months old but it was a magical species and was actually around a month younger than Ace. It was still growing which was about the only indication to it being a magical creature. He picked his cat up and walked back down to the common room while stroking it lovingly. As he walked into the common room he heard Victoria ask Harry and Ron a question.
"Where'd Ace go?" She asked curiously.
"To save my cat from the confines of his cage." Ace said as he walked up to them, still stroking Salazar lovingly. Hermione and Victoria both immediately got an adoring expression on their face at the sight of him.
"Oh, it's so cute!" They exclaimed together. They both immediately reached out clearly asking to hold him. Ron had a horrified expression on his face.
"You can't have a cat!" Ron yelled in an equally horrified tone. "It'll eat Scabbers!" Ace snorted as he handed the cat to Victoria.
"My cat doesn't eat rats older than three." He stated. "Salazar is very picky about his rats." He added. The four of them immediately looked at him funny. "Plus I bet he's older than Scabbers so seniority rules." Now everyone looked at him like he was insane. "Well he's older than he looks."
"Scabbers is ten years old." Ron said. "I highly doubt that little kitten is older than him." He had a look of superiority on his face.
"When does he turn eleven?" Ace asked curiously. Ron looked at him skeptically.
"Five months." He stated.
"Ha." Ace gave a victorious laugh. "Salazar turns eleven in a week he's older." Everyone gave him a disbelieving look. He gave a sigh. "Has anyone here heard of the demon cat of Washington DC?" He asked curiously. Hermione immediately made a noise in the affirmative. "Figures, it was a real cat and Salazar is the same species. Though the species is unnamed and so rare that the only known sighting, wizard or muggle, was the demon cat of Washington DC." He said as Salazar jumped out of Victoria's arms onto his head. "It's a very playful species that enjoys scaring people with its intimidating illusion." Salazar proceeded to jump from Ace's head to Hermione's awaiting arms.
"What's the illusion?" Harry asked. Ace smirked.
"You'll see if you ever run into him alone in the dark" He said with a slight chuckle. Hermione was the one who seemed the most worried about the idea. "It is even more terrifying than any descriptions you'll find Hermione but I doubt anyone here will get a heart attack since He's not full grown." He told her. Her expression eased up while everyone else seemed to get a little more scared of the prospect of it causing a heart attack. "Besides, he seems to like you." He said as Salazar rubbed his face on hers.
"Can we take him to the girl's dorm with us?" Hermione asked. "I think the other girls would just love to meet him."
"Sure, just make sure they don't over crowd him." He said. "His claws can cause nasty swelling and acne and he aims for the face. I'm sure none of the girls' wanna walk around with their face swollen and covered in acne." Hermione and Victoria grimaced and shook their heads. They then bid the boys goodnight and with Salazar in Hermione's arms walked up to the girls dorm.
"I think we should go to bed too." Said Harry. "We have our first day of classes tomorrow and we'll need our energy." The other two boys agreed and they headed up to their room. Ron immediately collapsed onto his bed and pulled the blanket up over his neck. He then noticed a spider crawling on the blanket right by where his stomach was.
"Guys," He whimpered, "Please get rid of this spider." His voice was terrified. The spider was a little too small to see what kind it was so that scared him even more.
"Oh, an opportunity to try something I read in standard book of spells: Grade 2." He then pointed his wand at the spider from his bed which was next to Ron's which was between him and harry. Aimed perfectly at the spider and said quickly so Ron wouldn't realize what he was doing, "engorgio." Immediately the spider grew to the size of Scabbers and it became obvious what kind of spider it was. It was a black widow. Ron silently screamed in horror. "Whoops, that was a bad idea. Diffindo." He said with a slight swipe of his wand. The black widow was cut in half. That done he and Harry laid down and they all went to sleep.
Chapter over. Done. Finite.
For any concerns that Ace might wind up a Gary Stu fear not. He will have his issues and will in fact not be a Gary Stu.
This story will break hearts by the end and while it might not be as bad of heartbreak as what JK has done I can guarantee tears by the end for the more sensitive.
Stay tuned and…
Tata for now…
