A/N: To be honest when I first started writing this story I didn't expect to get as many reviews as I have gotten. I would've been happy with 50 reviews by the end of the story but I've gotten more than 200 already and I'm nowhere near done. When I get an alert that someone has favorite/followed/reviewed my story it makes me so very happy. So I want to thank anyone whose ever read this story I would've stopped writing a long time ago if I didn't get the wonderful feedback that I've gotten.
(I know that traditionally most of the time Slytherins shared classes with Gryffindors but I'm making it so that they share classes with Ravenclaws)

Noctis made his way down to his father's chambers, already knowing how to navigate the school halls because Severus and Lucius created a miniature model of the school so that he could study it. When he got into the room he found both of his father's in there, Tom of course had a glamour on him so that he didn't look like himself. Noctis walked in tentatively trying to gauge Tom's reaction to him not being put into his house. Noctis had nothing to worry about because his father had a rare smile on his face.
"Hello, Dad." Noctis said to Tom and he gave Severus a small smile.
"Hello, my little snake. I'm proud of you, only the smartest students get sorted into Ravenclaw." Tom reassured his son.
"You aren't disappointed that I didn't get sorted into Slytherin?" Noctis questioned, he knew Severus had wanted him to be in his house so that he could watch over him better.
"Of course were not, Nox. The whole house actually had a bet going against what house you'd be in. Rodolphus, Rabastian, and Lucius were the only ones who guessed right." Severus admitted.
"What house did you both think I was going to be in?" Noctis asked.
"To be honest, I thought you'd get sorted into Gryffindor. You remind me so much of Lily." Severus said slightly sad.
"I thought you'd get sorted into Slytherin with all the pranks you, Rabastian, and Rodolphus have pulled over the summer." Tom told him chuckling at the memories.
"You, Sev, and Lucy are just so prankable." Noctis smirked.
"Of course." Severus agreed seriously making Noctis laugh.
"Alright, Nox its getting late, time to you to go to your dorms. Tell your prefect, Finn Nott, I believe it is this year, that you got lost and that you ran into me and I told you where to go." Severus ushered Noctis out the room, much to the boys dismay.
Before Noctis was pushed out the room completely he rushed around Severus and hugged his other father tight, "Goodnight, Dad. Thank you for coming to see me."
Tom hugged his son back. "Goodnight, Nox. I'll be back in two weeks to see how you are doing." Tom hugged his son back.
"Bye, I love you both." Noctis called as he left the room leaving to stunned men in his wake.
"He said he loved us." Severus said shocked
"He called me 'dad'." Tom said equally shocked.
Tom turned toward his husband to see that he was crying a little bit, "Are you alright, love?"
"I'm fine. Just really happy." Severus said hugging Tom.

The morning of the first day of classes Blaise woke Noctis up, "C'mon man were going to late if you don't get up now."
Blaise had already gotten up and dressed and was ready to go to breakfast when he saw that Nox was still asleep.
Noctis jumped out of bed realizing that he slept in late, "You can go on without me. I'll be there down in a few minutes."
Because Noctis had slept late, the dorm room was empty giving him the privacy to dress and to attach one of his knives to a harness on his leg without having to deal with any questions.
He grabbed his wand and made his way down to the great hall quickly so that he'd be able to eat before his first class.
Before he could make it to the great hall, he was stopped by the new Defense teachers, Professor Black and a sickly looking Professor Lupin.
"Hey, Noctis, what are you doing here shouldn't you be in the great hall?" Asked Black.
"Yes Sir, that's where I'm heading right now. I slept in late so I just got up."
"So did we. C'mon we can go to the Great Hall together."
The three of them were walking down the hall when Noctis put two and two together about his sickly looking defense teacher.
"Professor, Are you alright?" Noctis asked.
"Of course, Mr. Hale. Its just a cold." Lupin tried to lie to the young Slytherin.
They'd made it to the doors to the Great Hall when Noctis replied, "Professor, with all due respect, I'm not an idiot and I can tell when people are lying."
At the men's slightly shocked looks he continued, "And also, Sir, the potion you are taking only makes your transformation worse. If you accept your wolf then he will listen to you. He wont hurt anyone without your permission."
The boy left behind two flabbergasted men.

Noctis sat down beside Blaise at the Ravenclaw table.
"I see you finally made it down here." Blaise commented.
"I would've been here sooner but I was talking to the defense professors." Noctis explained.
Blaise smirked at his new friend, "Sucking up to the teachers on the first day of class, huh?"
"Of course not." Noctis laughed.
Noctis enjoyed having a friend, because of his lifestyle before having friends didn't really work. The one time he'd gotten close to someone it didn't end well. But now he had his real family with him and he could start a new life here in this wizarding world. He still loved his adoptive father but the man is died and now he had his real parents and a house full of other people who cared for him.
"I've been meaning to ask you, where did you get that necklace?" Blaise's questioning broke into his thoughts.
Noctis looked down at his chest to realize that he'd been clutching the pendant again, it seems he does it unconsciously whenever he's in deep thought, "Lucius gave it to me."
"Its really pretty. It looks like a family artifact Draco showed me once when we were younger. Do you know where Mr. Malfoy got it?"
"I'm not sure. Lucy just gave it to me saying that it had protection spells on it, so that I'd be safe." Noctis explained. Now that Blaise brought it up Noctis now wondered where the pendant came from, he'd ask Lucius the next time he saw him.
, I'm bored.:: Anka hissed from Noctis' sleeve.
::.I'll play with you later.:: Noctis brushed off his snake feeling kind of bad about neglecting his pet.
's what you said yesterday.:: The snake complained.
::.I'm sorry, Anka. I promise we'll spend time together after classes today.:: Noctis reached out and stroked her head, and the snake made a hissy-purring sound, making Noctis chuckle.
"What did Anka want?" Questioned Blaise, who wasn't a parselmouth so he wasn't privy to their conversation.
"I've been ignoring her lately and she's bored."
"Well-" Blaise started but he got cut off by Dumbledore speaking.
"Your heads of house are passing out your schedules now." The headmaster announced.
Professor Flitwick, the head of the Ravenclaw house, went around passing out class schedules.
Noctis' schedule said that his first class was Charms, then Defense Against the dark arts, Transfiguration, Flying, lunch, History of Magic, Herbology, and every other night was Astronomy.
It turned out that Blaise and all the other Ravenclaw first years had the same exact schedule.
After they both had finished breakfast, Blaise and Noctis made their way to Charms class with Professor Flitwick.
