Hunter stands on the platform eyeing his parents and his father looks down at him commenting.
"let's not have the stunts from last year huh? I don't want any more letters from Headmistress McGonagall about your behavior"
Chance Viperoth steps forward placing his hand firmly on his son's head as he eyes his son who had become much taller over the summer so tall he now reaches his father's chest. The boy looks as tall as a 16-year-old yet is only 13. His mother glances to her husband than back to her son.
"oh, hush Chance let the boy have his fun its not his fault the other Slytherin are so weak..."
Chance grins and stares over his son worried as he comments
"still he could get expelled from Hogwarts we don't want that. Do we dear?"
Hunter looks to his mother as she brings her hand to her mouth contemplating and nods her head agreeing with her husband.
"ah you have a point perhaps a little less cruelty this year Hunter. maybe try and make some Slytherin friends instead of trying to kill them..."
Kinsley Viperoth looks over her son with a worried expression, but her face softens as she steps forward and hugs him tightly. She pushes back from him staring him in the eyes as she comments.
"don't apologize for being powerful son, but do try and control that rage of yours"
Kinsley pushes forward and kisses her son on the forehead as she motions to the Hogwarts express.
"off you go now boy"
He steps up onto the train and looks back at his parents one last time then turns walking inside. Hunter finds an empty car and sits down into the seat looking out at the platform and eyeing all the young students rushing around. He breaths out but hears a voice chime in from behind him.
"ah the viper quite a unique animal..."
Hunter turns eyeing a boy in full Slytherin attire standing in the doorway staring him down. The boy crosses his arms and asks.
"so how was summer viper?"
The boy walks forward and plops down across from Hunter as he stares him down and Hunter comments.
"what do you want Scamander?"
Hunter looks up and the boy across from him smiles.
"oh, come on now Hunter we have to stick together. we are known as the two boys who cost the house the most points last year."
The boy across from hunter nudges him with his foot and smiles.
"you are a viper and you know my family is known for their handling of beasts and-"
Hunter glares at the boy and comments.
"are you saying I'm a beast?"
The boy places his head into his hands and shakes his head frantically.
"no, I, that's not what I met I just met you see, like you need a friend to keep your head cool. maybe, you know, I could be that friend?"
Hunter stares up at Scamander and as he is about to reply the door opens and Patricia stands there staring at the two Slytherin boys.
"oh, I um, is it okay if I sit here?"
The Scamander boy raises his arms patting the seat next to him.
"of course, it is, I mean we are all students at the same school and all"
Patricia eyes the boy over and asks concerned.
"you seem odd for a Slytherin they aren't usually so nice..."
The boy scratches the back of his head smiling as he glances to hunter than back to Patricia.
"well to be honest I was hoping I'd get into Gryffindor, but it seems my ambition to be the best kind of decided otherwise"
Patricia sits down next to the boy and puts out her hand.
"Patricia Longbottom"
The Scamander boy laughs a bit asking.
"so, you're the one people call patty bottom"
She drops her hand angry and glances to the door in silence as the boy comments.
"oh, I didn't know it was insulting. I thought it was just you know a joke."
Scamander looks to Hunter and Hunter shrugs his shoulders commenting to Patricia.
"you shouldn't be so weak Patricia who care what they think-"
Patricia comments looking over Hunter.
"I care, my own house, people in Gryffindor started the joke all they ever call me now is patty bottom. Whenever anyone gets a bad grade in herbology somehow I am to blame somehow its always my fault"
Scamander laughs making a joke.
"well if it helps I know for a fact my bad grade in herbology was not your fault..."
Hunter remains quiet and Scamander nudges him with his foot.
"and I am sure your bad grade wasn't her fault either"
Hunter looks to Scamander.
"actually, I got a high grade in herbology in fact do you want to see something really cool?"
Patricia looks up to Hunter and he reaches into his pocket pulling out a small rolled up black cloth. He dumps out a small seed into his hand and then rolls back up the cloth shoving it into his pocket. Hunter places down the seed and looks up to Patricia and Scamander as he grins and places his hand above the seed.
Patricia questions.
"don't you need a wand?"
Hunter grins and motions down to the seed hovering his hand above it.
"just watch and shut up"
The seed begins to sprout and from it grows flowers beautiful mixes of flowers of assortment of colors and shapes. It sprouts colors of blues, purples, reds and mixes of so much color that Patricia loses count of them all. She had never seen such beauty in one plant and she had seen a multiple of plants being the daughter of the herbology professor. The air around the three begins to bloom and smell of freshy grown flowers and the plants keep growing and growing as if it will never end. Then though the plant sprouts and from it horror emerges as through the top slithers a snake only the head emerges, and it turns to stare directly at Hunter. It sits still, and its words erupt into his head he is in a trance and he sees him the lord of all lords, the one the only and from Hunter lips the name sprouts.
"Voldemort..."
He is frozen in fear and his two friends look on confused as all they can see is the plant growing and blooming and expanding. So much so that the two become worried about their friend's safety as he seems loss in a trance of sorts one they do not understand. The growth had become out of control so much, so it bursts through the top of the train and as soon as it does the spell settles and the beauty around them rots and whither into nothing but darkness. The darkness that befalls the viperoth's the darkness and the connection to their master.
Hunter finally awakens from his nightmare and agonizing pain in his arm. Before him his two friends sit in silence not understanding the beauty and then the tragedy they had witnessed. Patricia looks over Hunter with envy in her eyes. She knows he is truly gifted and one day he will be a truly magnificent wizard but the spell and what she had felt and saw made her wonder what kind of wizard would he become? She envied the power and the idea of using magic without a wand it had never really be seen or heard of. Hunter though made it look so easy and she wondered if perhaps she could learn from him and become just as powerful. The three didn't speak at all for the rest of the ride to Hogwarts Patricia spent the time staring down Hunter while Scamander spent the time talking to no one but assumed both his new friends were listening as he ranted on about beasts and his family.
