So yeah, I'm sorry for the long wait. I had like three chapters already written for this story not to mention the ones I had written for my other fics when I had to start from scratch after my little brother DELETED ALL my docs. Hopefully I will be able to update my other stories in the next two days.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Ouran.
Chapter 1
Now, Hadrian had gone through some embarrassing situations but this was a first; he had gone to the wrong classroom. Instead of the expected history teacher entering it was a complete stranger who was apparently the economics professor of that particular class. If it wouldn't ridicule him any further he would have banged his head on the nearest wall, but as he had an audience he only sheepishly apologized to the professor and quickly left to his correct class. But not before shooting the laughing host an unamused glance.
As he walked towards his correct class he passed by large window that oversaw the large maze garden. He paused, contemplative as he looked from the garden and his class which was now only six feet way. Seconds later he turned around and walked the opposite way in search of the exit towards the garden. It took almost half an hour but he found it, just in time too since the bell rung for the end of the period and the corridors were filling in with students. He easily evaded the throng of students and briskly made his way the maze.
But as he stood before the entrance of the maze memories that Hadrian wished to forever forget invaded his mind. Memories of his fourth year and the Triwizard Tournament, of the maze, the cup, the cemetery, and the cruciatus curse, of Voldemort…and a lifeless Cedric Diggory…
Before he could get too caught up on his darkest memories, ones he had thought to have deeply buried in the darkest recess of his mind; a quick moving shadow on the side of the building caught his attention. Curious as to what or who it had been, Hadrian turned and quickly followed after it. It was fun and only seconds after following Hadrian knew it guy he was trailing after, the shape and body of the shadow easy enough to guess from. Ten minutes later, after taking shortcuts and hidden passageways and chambers (really surprising Hadrian since he had never thought Ouran to be so similar to Hogwarts), the guy finally stopped before a non-descript door. Even though Hadrian knew it was a guy he didn't have the chance to take a real look at him, but now under the low light of the only light in a long corridor Hadrian could only tell the guy was wearing a black cloak and the school uniform but nothing on his face or any other features.
As the guy was opening the door Hadrian hesitated between making his presence known or leaving unnoticed since it was only just a student. But his curiosity once again won over and he fake coughed to get the other's attention. He had to stifle his laugh as the guy comically jumped in fright.
"Waahh!"
Just as Hadrian moved to calm down the guy the door to the non-descript room was thrown open and four other students wearing the same black cloak but with their hoods down, stormed out.
"Nekozawa-sempai!"
It was lunch time when Hadrian exited the black magic club room, an amused and entertained smile as he said a last farewell to its members. He made his way quickly to the cafeteria, his stomach grumbling in hunger. When he entered he immediately made his way to the buffet area as he was beyond famished, but now the problem was where to sit since all the tables were full with the exception of the host club's table since it was the largest in the room.
He checked once again if there was any other table to sit at but it was with complete strangers and although Hadrian was friendly towards all he had made no real friends. He turned once again towards the hosts' table; their blond president was aware of his predicament and already knew he had no choice but to sit with them if the brilliant smile was anything to tell. He gave a sigh of resignation as he walked to the table, aware and annoyed by the rumors that already were made since he was going to sit with the host club. Many of them were of him joining the host club and being a new host and some of the most disturbing girls were saying he was dating one of the hosts and were now trying to find which host member it was.
"May I sit here?" he asked politely since he had rejected their offer.
"Of course Potter-san! Sit here," Tamaki smiled brilliantly at finally having the black haired student in close range without having to be in class and no chance of Potter of escaping since he had told the twins to do anything in their power not to let Potter leave.
Hadrian was very aware of Suoh's scheme but wasn't really alarmed, more than able to escape their clutches if he really wanted to. "Thank you."
The twins immediately sat on each side of him after he sat, more close than was politely acceptable but Hadrian didn't mind; they were attractive enough.
"So Potter-san, why weren't you in class? I saw you come to school this morning but you didn't attend class," Tamaki immediately fired off, extremely curious.
"Skipping class is prohibited and is against the rules so please refrain from doing it again, Potter-san," Kyoya already knew the Britain had apparently gone to the wrong classroom and instead of going to his correct class decided to wander off. Where to? Kyoya didn't know since Potter had carefully evaded all detection after going into the gardens and he was annoyed not knowing where the other had gone to.
Hadrian knew the vice-president was annoyed as Kyoya adjusted his glasses and in usual Kyoya manner, a sharp light was reflected. "Ma ma, Kyoya-san, I just got a little lost in the road of life-" before he could continued on the twin on his right interrupted him.
"How can you get lost in the road of life Potter?" Hikaru asked in amusement. He and his twin just knew the new student was going to be fun.
"Well you see, I was just walking to class when a black cat crossed my path and as well you know it is bad luck so I went the opposite way where…and I couldn't leave the poor old lady alone to cross…so I followed the black shadow when he finally stopped at this dark and imposing door, the shadow opened the door and in the other side there was…I said goodbye to the handsome wizard and found myself back here. That how you can easily get lost in the road of life, young grasshopper."
Kyoya and Haruhi watched as the rest of the hosts were enraptured by the clearly fictional tale, ooh'ing and ahh'ing at the right places. When Potter finished telling his tall-tale the twins were the first to fall laughing, shortly followed by Tamaki and Hunny-sempai.
"That was hilarious! 'Lost in the road of life', man Kaoru we got to use it sometime," Hikaru told his identical twin between each breath as he tried to control his laughter. Kaoru just nodded in agreement, not able to talk.
"Potter-san, your food is getting cold," Kyoya reminded him and ignored the still laughing hosts.
"Kyoya-san, you're so nice," Hadrian said and was rewarded with a faint blush from the 'cool' host. But this only made the twins and Tamaki laugh even more. Even Haruhi cracked an amused smile at the 'Demon' being called nice.
When everyone calmed down they continued chattering, Hadrian forgetting his skepticism at sitting with them and the hosts forgetting their mission to get Potter Hadrian into the host club. The bell signaling lunch over rung and Hadrian took the opportunity to get away from them before they remembered to pester him into joining. He was already at the exit when the hosts scrambled over to join him but he smirked at them and walked away not waiting for them like Suoh shouted him to. When the hosts finally reached the exit Hadrian was already gone and easily hidden in the rushing students.
"Dear Mama, our future son has yet again run away from us," Tamaki cried out as he latched on onto 'Mama', who grimaced before detaching the clinging host from himself. Also ignored by the rest he went to his corner to cry, mushrooms of despair growing at an incredible rate.
