After the Sorting Ceremony Dumbledore stood to speak," Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! This year we have new changes to the staff, Professor McGonagall will just be teaching to 5th, 6th and 7th year Transfiguration, Professor Lucien Carrow will be taking the other years. Professor Orion Black will be taking the class of Wizarding Culture and Tradition, Professor Belvina Black will be taking the class of Healing Studies and finally the Latin class will be taken by Professor Augustus Prince. With that announced I only have a few more words to say: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you!"
Harry whispered to Draco," That man is definitely senile."
Draco replied with a grin," Well that will mean each year he will have a confrontation with the Dragon Lord Lefay."
Harry asked as he placing food on his plate," Why do they call Hyperion that?"
Draco began eating as he replied," It is because of how he was in the Wizengamot decades ago and the title has just stuck with him." They began eating and talking with their friends, when Harry was looking around the Hall he saw Marcus Flint staring at him, instantly he knew that Hyperion had told him to protect Harry as the lord of his house.
At the end of the feast Dumbledore stood once again to announce," And now, before we go to bed, let us sing the school song." Harry immediately noticed Orion's face pale as Belvina laughed at his expense. Augustus grip on his goblet tightened and the goblet began to get dents in it. Harry looked at the other professors and saw that their smiles were fixed on their faces.
Dumbledore flicked his wand and a long golden ribbon flew out of it. The ribbon rose high into the air above the tables and twisted its self, snakelike, into words. He said," Everyone pick their favourite tune and off we go!"
Harry then realised why Hyperion had had a grin on his face when he said ' Make sure not to become deaf by the end of the feast.' As the most of the school boomed:
Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts
Teach us something please
Whether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff
For now they're bare and full of air
Dead flies and bits of fluff
So teach us things worth knowing
Bring back what've forgot
Just do your best, we'll do the rest
And learn until our brains all rot.
Harry noticed most of the Slytherins weren't singing along just standing there with annoyed looks on their faces. He didn't listen to what Dumbledore said next but got ready to go to his common room with his housemates. A prefect called Adrian Pucey led the First Years to the Slytherin common room, when they were in front of the stone wall which lead to it Adrian said," The password this week is Baslisk. It changes every week."
He led the First Years into a room that had emerald green wallpaper and black leather couches. There were bookshelves in the far right corner while in the far left there were two doors that lead to the dorm rooms.
Severus was waiting in front of the main fireplace waiting for the First Years to arrive. When he saw they were all here he stepped forward to begin his speech," You are all in Slytherin House that means when you are outside the common room you look after each other. If you need assistance then the prefects will be in the common room at 6PM to 8PM and I will be in my office at those times as well so you are welcome to come speak to me. The books in the far corner are available to use as long as you return them. In the far left corner there are two doors they lead to the dorms, the door on the right leads to males and the one on the left to females. Mr Potter-Lefay I will need to speak with you now in my office. Mr Pucey finish off."
Severus led Harry through a door in the center of the right wall and they ended up in Severus' office. He indicated for Harry to take a seat and they ended up facing each other. Severus began," I believe that you now have control of the wards of Hogwarts." Harry nodded and Severus continued," When you go to your dorm instead of turning right go straight ahead and say open in Parsletounge. It will then show you Salazar Slytherin's chambers and those are yours for as long as you in Hogwarts."
Harry nodded and left he followed Severus' directions he ended up at a vertical portrait of a Baslisk. He whispered in Parsletounge ~ Open~ The portrait swung open to reveal a set of stairs and Harry moved forward and went up them. When he reached the top he opened the oak door and it swung open to reveal chamber like the common room. Harry looked at the paintings on the wall but was attracted to a specific one.
The painting in question said," Lord Slytherin are you related to the Lefays?"
Harry stepped forward and could clearly see the man in the painting. The man had black hair, a pale face, gaunt cheeks and a slim figure. He was wearing a sapphire blue robe that had the crest of the Gaunts on it, instantly Harry knew who it was so he asked," Your Corvinus Gaunt II aren't you?"
Corvinus replied," Yes and that must mean you are Harry Potter who is rasies by my son."
Harry nodded and sat down at the mahogany desk and began writing a letter to Hyperion.
Hyperion, Theseus, Sirius, Remus, Amelia and Augusta as well as Lord Rupert Greengass and Narcissa Black were sitting in the parlour of Bones Manor when Odin popped in with Harry's letter. Hyperion grabbed it and read it out loud:
Hyperion
You won't win the bet as I was sorted into Slytherin, on the train a boy called Ron Weasley asked about a scar on my forehead. I don't know what that was about. Draco, Theo, Blaise, Daphne and Pansy joined me in Slytherin while Neville and a girl called Hermione Grangerwas sorted into Gryffindor. Hannah and Susan into Hufflepuff and Tracey Davies was sorted into Ravenclaw. I also know that you asked Marcus Flint to protect me.
I was allowed into Lord Slytherin's chambers and this is where I am writing this at and where i'll sleep for my entirety at Hogwarts. I also met a portrait of a man called Corvinus Gaunt II and I have just Salazar Slytherin.
Dumbledore is completely senile he had us sing the school song. On the train we explained to Hermione about guardianship and what the Wizengamot is. Severus said he will try to keep
Dumbledore out of my business. Veritas.
From
Harry
Hyperion looked at the words underlined and said," Dumbledore is going to try and get guardianship of Harry on the Wizen-" He was cut off as memories began rushing into his mind, Hyperion sank to his knees and clasped his head with his hands.
Narcissa pulled out het wand and cast a diagnostic charm, she said," He has just recieved a decade worth of memories, he'll need a dreamless sleep potion."
Theseus immediately replied," He can't he was addicted and his personal healer said he must never have it again."
Narcissa asked," What did they say he should have instead?"
Theseus shrugged and answered," Only he knows and he won't be answering any questions for a while." He indicated the sobbing man on the floor.
Amelia asked," Isn't Hyperion friends with Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel?"
Sirius replied," Yes but only he knows the location of the house."
Remus said," What about paintings? That one of Regulus Romulus Lefay is looking exasperated with you."
Regulus looked at Remus and said," I prefer Romulus to Regulus but yes I do know where Nicholas lives." And before anyone could say anything he basically ran out of the painting that held Wulfgar Bones.
Five minutes later Nicholas Flamel with his wife flooed into Bones Manor, Nicholas immediately rushed to Hyperion and began chanting in Greek. After finishing chanting he poured a blue potion down his throat. Nicholas said," He'll sleep for the next 6 hours and I guess you are Amelia Bones, Augusta Longbottom, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Narcissa Black or Carrow and Rupert Greengrass."
Augustus Rookwood was walking through the rows of prophecies searching for a certain one. Croaker had looked at him weirdly when he asked for permission to take a prophecy. Augustus looked at the tags on the prophcies and he knew he had almost found it.
He finally found the one he was looking for and tried to grab it, Augustus knew it was fake as soon as he took it. By accident he looked at the prophecy next to one he was here for and saw Hyperion's name on it.
Augustus grabbed it and placed them into the pouch he had brought with him. As he was about to exit the room he froze as he noticed two Aurors behind him, one was pink-haired girl and the other recognised as Alastor Moody. Augustus drew his wand as the two Aurors sent two stunning spells his way.
Augustus was about fire back Confringo when a masked figure sent a killing curse at him. It missed him but Augustus acted dead as the figure looked at Bode the Unspeakable and cast the Imperius curse on him.
The figure then faded into the shadows as Bode cast the Cruciatus curse ooon Augustus, thankfully he was able to resist the pain but wounds began to open on his body.
Croaker's voice roared," What do you think you are doing!?" The Head of the Department of Mysteries looked like dragon as he sent off a Reducto and a Confingo. The three people disapparated , Croaker approached Augustus and began to heal him. Croaker muttered," This isn't Dumbledore's doing. This is much bigger then me and Hyperion thought."
Augustus didn't pay him much attention as he slipped into unconsciousness the only thing he heard was Croaker whispering," You'll be fine."
