A sorting like no other
Following the mass of student hopefuls off of the train with V following his stead, Loki looked up to the castle of Hogwarts with a smile full of childish excitement as he followed the other students, Leaving V to make his way to Hagrid as he held a lantern above his head, moving to address the new students the jolly half giant spotted V who approached.
"Ah, You the new professor assistant?" giving a smile and nod of confirmation, Hagrid smiled brightly.
"Well then, Welcome to Hogwarts, Professor Schnee" with that he called to the students as Loki found himself beside a smiling Luna.
"Right, then! First years! This way, please! Come on, now, don't be shy! Come on now, hurry up!" leading the horde of children to the pier towards Hogwarts, the students paired up into fours for the boat ride, with V accompanying Hagrid onto a larger boat, V sat with his hands gripped on Úlfur he summoned Griffon to fly over the boats, which gained Hagrid's curiosity to griffon's sudden appearance, which V answered with a smile.
Following the lead boat with Luna beside him the two shared an awe look as they docked to Hogwarts, following up a stairway to the bridge of Hogwarts, Loki remained silent as they approached a woman in witch robes waiting for them, looking over the horde of student hopefuls.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you can take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Now while you're here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you house points. Any rule breaking, and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup." Paying most attention to the woman, Only V turned in time to see Neville Longbottom nearly dropping his toad, which caused V to summon Shadow to catch the Toad on his back, letting out a small growl of warning to the boy, Neville retrieved his Pet as Shadow stalked to V's side, allowing the man to give it an approving pet before sinking into his shadow.
"The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily." With that the woman left into the great hall, just as a blonde brat spoke.
"Has anyone seen Harry Potter, heard he turned and ran off to the muggle world" seeing Draco Malfoy look around for a response Loki gave off a snort that gained the pricks attention.
"What's got you laughing?" shaking his head with a smile of amusement Loki spoke.
"You remind me of a man I met once?" lifting his head up in pride he spoke.
"Must have been a brilliant man then?"
"He died alone because of his arrogance, an arrogance that you also seem to own" seeing the blonde pale Loki made a stabbing motion towards his chest as McGonagall returned
"We're ready for you now. Follow me." Stepping by Draco with a mischievous Grin which widened at the sight of the enchanted Ceiling of the great hall.
"It's not real, the ceiling. It's just bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History." Following after McGonagall Loki looked forward for his smile to vanish as Dumbledore spoke after standing, V standing beside McGonagall in silence.
"I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch. has asked me to remind you that the 3rd floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you." Looking to McGonagall he stood back up at seeing V awkwardly waving.
"Oh my apologies, I would also like to Address our newest and first ever assistant Professor, Victor Schnee!" following that additional applause V gave a smile to the students as McGonagall spoke.
"When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses. Hermione Granger."
Watching her walk past with a nervous chant to herself, Loki heard Ron speak.
"Mental that one, I'm telling you." Shoving an elbow into the pricks stomach Loki paid him no mind at his groan of pain, instead he focused on the Sorting hat.
"Ah, right then...hmm...right. Okay...Gryffindor!" Seeing Hermione smiling at the applause McGonagall read out the next name.
"Draco Malfoy" watching the blonde pompous prick walk by to the hat.
"SLYTHERIN!" seeing the blonde smile smugly Loki rolled his eyes.
"Susan Bones"
"Hmm, most likely related to Amelia Bones" Loki said idly while looking to the Faculty table, Seeing Severus Snape giving him a studying look Loki felt something try to peek into his mind, turning his gaze to the turban wearing Quirrel Loki narrowed his eyes as he let Senza lash out through his mental barrier, making the possessed man flinch with a small mouse like noise as Senza let out a warning growl through the connection, leaving Loki looking to the next student called up for sorting, which was Ron Weasley being sorted into Gryffindor.
"Harry Potter" turning to the Sorting hat with a smile, Loki spotted Ron looking at the small remaining group of students like a nosy paparazzi, standing up with his eyes glowing gold Loki teleported to the seat through an ash cloud that reformed his being, smiling with untold excitement Loki calmed himself down as the Hat was placed on his head, with Loki allowing the hat to look through his thoughts before it spoke in his mind.
'Oh dear…. You, You've been through a lot of heart ache Mr Fenris, too much Heart ache yet you are still so patient to return to those you love… You show more courage and ambition than any other Witch or wizard to ever wear me, Mr Fenris, If you'd like You may chose yourself of which house you want to be set in' breathing in with his eyes closed, the flash of a smiling Nora Valkyrie came to mind before he smiled, feeling warmth the hat spoke with a roar of Triumph.
"Gryffindor!"
Allowing the hat to be taken off his head, the Sorting hat spoke to him with a sincere voice of care.
"If you ever wish to speak to anyone, feel free to put me on ya head, enjoy you're stay at Hogwarts lad" giving the hat a sincere smile, Loki moved to Gryffindor table while McGonagall had a look of worry to Harry before turning to the Sorting hat.
Walking past V the two shared a nod of greeting before he moved to the table, catching eyes with Snape they blinked at the oddly close resemblance to each others until V held his hand out to shake.
"Victor Schnee, But you can call me V" seeing Snape reach to shake he spoke slowly.
"Snape, Severus Snape, head of Slytherin house"
"A pleasure" moving to take a seat he ended up beside Hagrid who spoke about his bird excitedly as the students began to eat.
"Say what was this bird Hagrid spoke of, I don't remember you releasing an owl before" turning to McGonagall with a smile of mischief, V threw his left arm into the air before Griffon appeared in the air, flying around the hall with a laugh before landing in front of V, snatching a leg of Chicken to eat.
"Griffon, behave" reaching for his own leg of chicken to eat it was snatched off the plate by a hungry Shadow who ran off with the leg in mouth, making V slowly curl his hand shut with Griffon softly laughing at his misfortune.
"He got you that time, V" giving the bird a small glare he swung Úlfur in an attempt to hurt the demon bird.
"Quiet you"
