Hadrian's POV
"- and the third floor corridor, on the right hand side, is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very painful death," Now that, made him laugh. Unfortunately for Hadrian, he was one of the few who did.
"He isn't serious, right?" He whispered to Daphney, who shrugged.
They sang the Hogwarts song, which Hadrian thought was completely pointless and he didn't sing along to it at all. Much to the surprise of most first years on the table, who were just mumbling the words anyway.
After that, the prefect from Slytherin, Gemma Farley, showed them deep into the Dungeons. Hadrian was amazed at how cool he felt and the fact that their common room was surrounded by the Great Lake, made it sound even better.
"The password is Serpent Tongue, try not to forget it," She warned as the painting of Salazar Slytherin opened. Hadrian gasped, there was a crackling fireplace near the back of the room, there were windows which viewed the lake and there were green lanterns brightening up the room.
"Well, try and find your room, unlike the rest of the houses we all have our own rooms. We also have a few rules you need to bear in mind: Slytherins stick together, most houses hate us so just be careful," Hadrian made eye contact with Draco Malfoy who smirked at him. Hadrian tuned out the rest of the speach as he looked around the room... there were portraits of Merlin, Salazar and just pictures of the Hogwarts ground. What Hadrian found that was most confusing, was the massive library of books stacked into the corner of the room. Dad always said Slytherins were stupid... maybe I could prove him wrong. He thought as his attention went back to Gemma.
"If you're going to break the rules try not to get caught." she ended the speach there, going off towards the first year girls.
Well, that was very cheerful. Hadrian thought as she showed the girls; Daphney Greengrass, Tracey Davis, Pansy Parkinson and Millecent Bulstrode, where their rooms were. Sighing, he looked carefully at the boys, who all seemed to know each other. He could figure out most of them, Blaise was standing to his left anyway. Next to Draco was Gregory Goyle and to the right of him was Vincent Crabbe, which was obvious to anyone, they were both... chubby. But just to the right of him was a quite boy with dark brown hair.
There was awkward silence, until Sparta decided to break it by hissing to Hadrian,
"I'm tired and hungry, Hadrian." she whined, Hadrian rolled his eyes at the snake.
"I'll go to my room then you can go and feed of some animal in the forbidden forest, make sure nobody see's you and come back here safely," Hadrian said back, not caring of the scared looks Vincent, Greg and Draco were sending his way.
"Ok, masster," she said sleepily.
"Well, as much as I'm enjoying standing around, it's been a rather... busy day. So if you don't mind I'm going to head off," He said, walking towards the first year boys corridor, which was to the left near one of the windows looking out on to the lake.
"Wait, Potter"
Hadrian turned around with a raised eyebrow, as Draco Malfoy stood a step forward, looking hasty in what he was about to say.
"Yes?" He asked, expecting an answer. He wanted to go to bed, it was getting close to nine thirty and he needed to go on a run early in the morning, Hadrian normally wakes up at five for that.
"As long as that... snake stays away from me," Draco gulped as Hadrian smirked. "I know we got of the wrong start and if I'm honest, I don't want any rivalry between the house, so could we start over?" Hadrian thought for a moment. It takes a lot of guts to admit someone was wrong. Hadrian smiled,
"Of course, I'm Hadrian Potter, nice to meet you," Draco nodded, looking relieved.
"Draco Malfoy, this is Vincent and Greg"
"Now that's over, I really need to go, Sparta is getting hungry" He said. Blaise took a step back as he asked,
"He's not going to eat us, is he?" Hadrian chuckled, fair question.
"Don't worry, she won't. She only threatens people when they threaten me. You should have seen the look on Fenrir's face the first time he saw the snake, now that was funny" He replied back, grinning at the memory. Draco looked possibly ill as Greg wobbiled a bit,
"Y-you're on first name bases with Greyback?!" He asked, shocked and a little scared. Hadrian rolled his eyes for the millionth time today.
"Honestly it's not that big of a deal, see you guys tomorrow" Hadrian retorted as he walked up to his room. The four boys left looked at each other, too shocked to say anything. Until Blaise sat on an armchair, dramatically, while saying,
"Well boys, we are going to have a hell of a year,"
