Train to Hogwarts
POV: Draco
September 1st came quickly, Hadrian's inner circle (The sleepover group) met up at platform 9 ¾. Hadrian was able to go into the muggle world just to get 8 copies of the book we all wanted to read. On the train, we went into the same compartment. Once we all settled in, Hades grabbed a large parcel from his trunk.
"Do you guys remember the book I was talking about at the sleepover?" Hades asked. We simultaneously nodded. He opened the parcel and revealed eight copies of the same book. Hades gave one to everybody in the compartment before saying goodbye to Penelope who had Head Girl duties. Apollo, Phoenix, Corvus and Hades are introduced as exchange students from Durmstrang. The train ride went by quietly as most of the group was reading Matilda. The trolley lady stopped by and I bought enough candy for all of us. Hades insisted on buying his candy but I wanted to be a courteous boyfriend. Once we got to Hogsmeade station, everyone was headed towards an empty carriage. The group successfully got a carriage together. At the castle, the Durmstrang 'transfers' were led to a separate room across from the Great Hall.
Hadrian POV
In the room across from the Great Hall, we were the first there. We were told by professor McGonagall that we were the last to be sorted. The First years started filling the room looking curiously at us older students. I speak up.
"We're the Drumstrang transfers. Our parents decided to send us to Hogwarts instead. I don't know why though." the younger kids nod at that simple excuse. We wait for the signal that the firsties are done being sorted to make a dramatic entrance. We barge the doors open, wearing Durmstrang uniforms. Professor Dumbasadoor welcomed us and called for the hat to sort us. Apollo first, with Phoenix following. All three were sorted into Slytherin
"Welcome Heir of Hogwarts,," the hat says when placed upon my head. I could sit and attend classes with whichever house I'd like. I head towards the Slytherin table to sit with Draco and the twins. I look up at the head table and see Remus, and Papa smiles in the direction of us. I smile back and start eating dinner.
We met one of the Slytherin prefects on the train who told Draco the password for the first month. "Aconite," I say to the wall. I go into the common room with the others following. The 5th year prefects bring in the firsties, 20 total. 'I shall establish a court. With Papa being the Head of Slytherin and father being Lord Slytherin, It's really easy' I thought to myself. The Slytherins in the common room stare at Draco for hanging out with the transfers.
"Hey. I have an announcement though the information shared here must never be spread. If I find out that one of you shared any of this information, you will regret it." I yell, gaining the attention of those who were minding their own business. "The four of us Transfers never actually went to Durmstrang nor any other wizarding school. The 'Headmaster' Albus Dumbledore hid us from our real families. He took us at varying ages. The four of us are the youngest of those stolen. Now those with fathers as Death Eaters come forward." many students stepped forward.
"Who has heard the story of the 'lost seven'?" This time a few students step back. I nod, there were a total of 40 students that heard of the lost seven. "Now, have any of you wondered why the Weasley family was so large?" a few noded. "The lost seven of the dark from oldest to youngest are William Carrow, Charlotte Greyback, Corvus Lestrange, Apollo Black-Lupin, Phoenix Black-Lupin, myself; Hadrian Riddle, and Elanor Greyback."
Papa and I tell the story of the lost seven. "The only one missing is Elanor. I do believe she goes here to stay strictly under Dumbledore's watch," I say, recruiting the Slytherins to find Elanor.
One 3rd year boy steps forward "My friend knows every 3rd-year girl in the castle Riley Wilson, Hufflepuff."
"Yes, thank you. What is your name? I expect regular check-ins from you or your friend," I say, grateful that the Slytherins were already loyal to me from just one story. Papa left after telling the story.
"Quinn, Parker Quinn,'' he says. I nod noting what he looked like "I'll introduce you to Riley tomorrow"
