Well sorry for the wait on this one but here it is hopefully not this long of a wait for the next one
A sin for him
desire within, desire within
fall in love with your deep dark sin
Nightwish- she is my sin

Chapter 19
The four fifth year Slytherin's sit at their table, and then watch as the rest of the student body enters the great hall. They also begin to observe the other three tables. All of them seem to be talking about their summers and the latest gossip.
As soon as everyone has been seated Dumbledore stands up and calls for the sorting to begin. However as soon as the first years enter the hall and professor Mcgonagall can start calling the names Dumbledore interrupts her.
"Before professor Mcgonagall begins I would like to take this moment and call up the first new student. So please help me welcome after years of solitude...Harry Potter!"
A few moments of silence happens and then loud cheering is heard from Hufflepuff and Griffindor. while all four houses start quietly whispering to those around them. After several minutes everything quiet's down, and when no one stands up or walks up to the raised platform of the teachers table the hall begins whispering a new.
Dumbledore looks around slightly confused but then as he is about to call Harry's name again the sorting hat snorts, and then speaks for the whole hall to hear.
"No one by that name has entered Hogwarts."
Dumbledore's head snaps to the hat but before he can say anything the sorting hat begins to sing it's opening song, which sounded like welcome to the jungle. This then caused some of the older muggleborns and half bloods to start to silently snicker at the hats choice of song.
The professors and most of the pure bloods look at the hat strangely for no one can remember it ever singing something like that before. The four pure bloods that had been shown their animagus forms hide their matching grins while they think it is a perfect song for the coming of the ravengers.
After the hat finishes its song and with out further interruption Professor Mcgonagall then starts to call out the names of the new firsties.
The four teens at Slytherin look at each other rather amused but choose to refrain from commenting just yet. As the last name is sorted into Ravenclaw and Dumbledore is about to announce the start of the feast and his normal beginning of the year dribble the sorting hat speaks up once more.
"They're is one more to be sorted in Hogwarts this year."
All the teachers and some of the students look surprised by this turn of events. How ever it is Professor Mcgonagall that then asks the question that is now on everyone's mind.
"What do you mean by that hat."
The hat everyone notices looks like it is smirking as it calls out loudly for everyone to hear.
"Hadrian Lefay!"
A few seconds of an eerie silence starts to suffocate the great hall as they wait for someone to stand. Then the sound of many wings flapping and the caw of many crows and ravens is heard throughout the entire great hall. Black feathers and midnight purple rose petals start to fall from the enchanted ceiling as the birds fly over the heads of everyone.
Chaos soon follows but it doesn't last long because a dark chuckle and a slow clap is heard throughout the entire hall. A student in the crowd then shouts and point at the professors table.
"Someones in the headmasters chair!"
Everyone whips they're heads back to look up at the teachers table and see a person in the throne like chair his feet kicked up on the table, a quill lazily hanging on his lips he is wearing a long black coat that is dangling of the edges of the chair. There is crow perched on his right shoulder. The sorting hat on the top of his head is tilted perfectly hiding his face with the shadow of the brim, and lastly they all notice a beautiful snowy owl lightly perched on the tip of the hat.
The new person sounds strangely amused when he first speaks up.
"Hello géosceaft"
The hat simply chuckles at the man and speaks into his mind.
"Such an old name I have not heard in many centuries. I would how ever prefer you to call me sir. Hat young Lefay."
Harry looks up and grins up at the old hat but then speaks up quietly.
"Fair enough but please call me Harry, as I believe and hope that we can talk a lot more often."
The hat silently ponders on this for for a second before answering the young man.
"Hm how interesting. Yes I believe that is very acceptable not many people now a days seem to want to talk or listen to me. It is rather boring."
During the two's silent conversation, the great hall is quiet and very confused at the new person and his free display of magic. Snape scowls at the man lounging in the headmasters chair. while the rest of the great hall seems to be discussing or arguing about his last name.
Dumbledore is gobsmacked because he cant feel anything from him. He knows for sure that this is Harry Potter but is also unsure, because he cant even feel the blocks that he had placed either.
professor Mcgonagall soon returns back to the reality of this situation and loudly clears her throat.
"Hat! what is the meaning of this?"
The two look up and professor Mcgonagall holds back a gasp of surprise when she sees the young mans hauntingly familiar emerald green eyes staring at her in curiosity. The sorting hat huffs and the mumbles about the rudeness of youngling's today, and how it was enjoying his conversation. It then yells out for the whole hall to hear.
"The man obviously must go to. SLYTHERIN!"
Harry smirks and then stands up to leave the stage with the hat still on his head. He then reaches up to pet the snowy owl. The owl and crow then take off in to the air and flies over the great hall to stretch they're wings. Harry looks at the two and smiles lightly.
As Harry passes her Professor Mcgonagall quickly grabs the hat from on top of his head much to Harry's disappointment. The entire hall looks shocked at seeing the faded but legendary lightning bolt scar of the boy who lived.
Harry continues to go to the Slytherin table, completely ignoring the glares that a few are giving him. As he reaches the table he sees that someone with black hair and a lanky build had moved to sit in front of Daphne. Sighing in annoyance he moves to go around the table and sits beside her, as both the crow and snowy owl move the perch on they're opposite shoulders. Harry then leans his head on Daphne's right shoulder and stares at the boy in front of them.
As Theodore Nott the hall he sits beside Crabbe and Goyle, and right in front of Draco. He looks at Draco with a Cheshire cat like grin and starts to gloat.
"How does it feel to lose both your father and the marriage contract to Daphne?"
Draco raises an eyebrow but just ignores him and continues to watch the sorting with more interest then what the Nott boy has to say.
Nott turns slightly red at being ignored and sneers at Draco then whispers harshly.
"How dare you ignore me you bastard. Now that your father is out of the way the Nott family will soon become the dark lords right hand."
Draco sighs in annoyance but with out even looking up at Nott he says in a low and calm voice for only Nott to hear.
"You seriously believe that the marriage contract your father got for Daphne is valid? how stupid are you?"
Nott grits his teeth in anger and is about to retort when he notices the girl in discussion sitting a little ways away with Zabini and that half blood. Then just as the hat announces the last name of the sorting Nott makes his way over and sits in front of Daphne. As he sits down in front of her he leers at her body for a second before speaking.
"Hello love, I do hope your summer of running was good cause once we are married you wont be given such a chance. After all it wouldn't be right of a lady of your standing to be seen running."
Daphne how ever just stare right through him and completely ignores the boy, While her two friends glare at him. Daphne watches as her mate causes a commotion and in the corner of her eye catch a pink toad about to blow a gasket. She then brings her right hand under the table and uses a silent silencing charm on it. It is then that she finally notices a red faced Nott in front of her glaring coldly at being ignored. Daphne rolls her eyes at her two freinds and then cuts off the pompous prick mid sentence.
"I'm sorry Nott but as fascinating as you might think you are, your boring me and this sorting is far more interesting."
How she says this leaves very little doubt that she is not at all sorry.
Nott glares even more heatedly at her casual dismissal nut before he can say anything the new student sits beside Daphne as a snowy owl perches on her left shoulder while the guys leans on her right shoulder all three new comers stare at him unblinkingly.
Nott turns even redder that he is almost close to a Weasley shade and stands up glaring at the new guy.
"New guy get your head off my betrothed shoulder or I'll destroy you half blood."
Harry looks at him impassively. Then before anyone can even blink or react a large crash is heard throughout the entire hall. Food flies all over the Slytherin table when Harry grabs Nott's tie and yanks his head into the table. He then leans down and hisses coldly.
"Talk to Daphne or me with that kinda disrespect again and the Nott family will become a footnote in the farthest reaches of history."
Nott soon after start to become pale white whether that is because of fear or the lack of oxygen cause Harry is slowly strangling him with his own tie.
As the teachers move to where the commotion is happening to see what is going on. However before they can reach the scene Nott goes flying past them and crashes into the griffindor table.
Daphne squeezes Hadrian's arm to keep him from going and finishing Nott off, while Blaise and Tracy are rendered speechless, Not only is this mystery new guy acting really cozy with their ice princess best friend but Daphne seems to be radiating happiness at their closeness. Then there is the liberal use of wandless and silent magic that had thrown Nott across the hall.
The professors arrive soon afterwards and unsurprisingly it is Snape gets the first word in.
"Potter that will be detention for attacking a student. You really are just as arrogant as your father."
Hadrian smirks as he meets Snape's gaze dead on.
"It's Lefay Snivalous maybe you should wash that grease out of your hair it seems to be getting in your ears."
As he says this he feels an anger induced brush of legemancey and inwardly smirks and thinks.
'gotcha you son of a bitch.'
Snape looks around and all he sees are buildings with lots of light, some are flashing brightly in the night. most of these building are also reaching into the clear night sky above. Soon during his look around he feels the rain begin to fall and it feels wrong to Snape but he ignores it and keeps wandering. a few moments later Snape feels weaker and his eyes widen in realization that the rain is some how draining his magic.
A dark chuckle is heard all around him and when Snape looks up for brief moment he sees a figure looking at him wearing a pitch black cloak then he vanishes as a lightning strike blinds him for a moment. When Snape opens his eyes they widen again as he looks into a mirror that starts to show him Lily Potters death over and over. Snape turns away from it only to come face to face with another mirror It's this realization that he looks around and sees he is surround by his worst memories and greatest regrets
This whole thing take places in only a couple moments in the real world, and when Snape returns he falls to a knee panting in exhaustion in all sense of the word. Snape looks up and glares the smirking Lefay.
Dumbledore at this moment decides to step forward and helps Snape to his feet rather shakily then asks him calmly.
"What happened Severus you look dreadful right now?"
Snape tries to calm himself with a shaky breath and to regain some strength while Hadrian answers for him.
"He was just taught that it's very stupid to try and read a unknowns mind."
Dumbledore looks to the young man but becomes rather confused, he can now sense professor Snape's magic coming from this boy. He is about to question him the boy but the pink toad butts into the conversation, and with a falsely sickening sweet smile and voice says.
"Hem hem, I believe you have just attacked a very prominent pure blood student. I think four nights of detention with me is acceptable."
Hadrian smirks savagely like a true predator eying his next meal, he willingly agrees then giving a mocking bow to the teachers turns on his heel wrapping an arm around Daphne's waist they leave the great hall together.
At the Griffindor table Ron glares in both jealousy and anger at Harry for both his entrance into Hogwarts and the pride he seems to have for using the last name of the most evil dark witch in history. As well as betraying the house of Griffindor the greatest house of them all to join the snakes.
When Hadrian banishes Nott into the Griffindor table Hermione glares heatedly at him in jealousy of doing the spell wandlessly and silently. The twins for their part start to amuse themselves by poking the new Slytherin decoration on the table with forks and knives.
"I say dear brother of mine does he seem a little more pudgy at the waist line."
"You brother of mine I do believe you are right. But you should try tapping his skull it almost sound hollow."
"Hmm very interesting observation we must look into this more."
With that the twins stand up, having gotten bored of poking and prodding the Nott heir. George then drops a firework that soon goes off distracting everyone around them as they make they're escape, no one notices Nevile leave with them.
Draco watches Nott get thrown across the hall and starts rubbing his temples and groans much to Astoria and the sixth and seventh years confusion. Draco softly breaths out.
"Yep it's going to be a long year, a pile of bodies in the common room I tell you. Why couldn't they both have been Ravenclaw hell even Hufflepuff would have been safer..but Nooo they both are in the snake pit."
Astoria rolls her eyes at her boyfriend's soft ranting and pokes him in the side and gives him a look he is sure the girl copied from her sister that says 'to explain now or get hurt'. Draco looks at her in the corner of his eye then sees everyone around him also listening in he shrugs before explaining.
"As you know Hadrian is Daphne's boyfriend they have both been in training for the last two months, and honestly they were both pretty brutal already so I'm not sure how much more powerful they have gotten."
Draco rubs his chin in thought for a second before he continues.
"Come to think of it He might even be more ruthless if you where to be threaten or hurt."
Astoria looks at him with a a little confusion while the other listening in are gaping openly. But Draco ignores them and explains.
"He plans on eventually marrying your sister he already sees you as his little sister because you are the only family that Daphne loves he will protect you instantly and with out hesitation."
Astoria squeaks in excitement and jumps out of her seat and quickly runs to catch up to the couple.
Draco smirks and shakes his head before getting up and making his way out of the great hall in a more sedated pace to follow the excitable younger girl. He leaves the remaining older students to discuss amongst themselves on the best approach for this situation and eventually decide on a wait and see style would probably be the best course of action.
Astoria quickly catches up to Tracy and Blaise who are following Hadrian and Daphne. Many questions bubbling in all three of they're minds. Once they reach the hidden entrance to the Slytherin house Harry hisses.
§Open.§
Much to the even greater shock the three that are standing right behind them.
Daphne looks behind her and smirks at her sister and two best friends then leans up to kiss the corner of his mouth. They all enter the common room and head over to a grouping of chairs beside the fire place.
Harry sits in a plush leather arm chair when Daphne drops into his lap and wraps her arms around his neck at the same times he hugs her waist closer. before anyone can react and ask anything Astoria squeals in joy at her sisters behavior then wraps her arms around the both of they're necks hugging them tightly. She then starts to fire off many different questions of all sorts, much to the couples growing amusement.
Tracy watches with some amusement as well but soon decides she needs some proper answers right now.
"So Daph want to tell us all why your being all warm and cuddly with the new guy? Actually that reminds me where did your pet fox run off to?"
Daphne smiles brightly at Tracy much to to poor girls shock and after Astoria jumps off them both and goes to sit beside Draco who had just entered into the common room a few moments ago. She then leans more into Hadrian's embrace and answers her best friend.
"Tracy, Blaise and Tori I would like to formally introduce you too the black coated stranger from the end of last year and the tri-wizard tournament. Hadrian Lefay-Potter-Black."
Hadrian softly growls in the back of his throat and Daphne kisses his cheek softly then rolls her eyes at her boyfriend and answers again.
"Sorry to friends and family he prefers Harry Black."
Harry smiles then nods his head in a silent greeting to them all. Blaise then introduces himself and shakes Harry hand while Tracy looks gobsmacked until she realizes what Daphne said and points at Harry then blurts out.
"Wait that guy is him. But you made it sound like you didn't know who it was or that you even cared."
Daphne shrugs but her features soften even more in the fire light then replies.
"Truthfully I didn't know who it was at first but he recognized me almost immediately. So he slipped me a note as he walked past us when he was invisible."
Tracy looks ready to ask a few more questions or say something else but Blaise is the next to ask.
"What do you mean he knew who you where almost immediately Daph?"
Daphne replies absently as she plays with Harry's right ring finger, that seems to have a very strange piece of jewelry surrounding it. That looks to be a twin of the one Daphne is wearing on her right ring finger.
The other four around them are curious about it but decide in silent agreement to ask about it next.
"We are childhood friends. We use to play with each other a lot growing up, hell we even slept in the same crib when we where infants. Or at least that's what my mom would often tease us about before she passed away."
Daphne looks up at Harry with a sad look. He then softly kisses her forehead then touches his nose to hers and smiles softly at her that she reciprocates.
Tracy and Blaise silently gape at they're friends very strange behavior. Then they're heads snap to Astoria who gasps loudly and points at Harry then squeals with giddiness.
"Is he the one that mom wanted to get you a marriage contract for, before she passed away?"
Daphne nods her head while Harry lean up and kisses the top of her head then rests his chin while his hands comb through her long hair in silent comfort. Harry then looks at the small group and says tiredly.
"I think we might have time for one more question before the rest of our house comes here and we have to go to bed."
Draco while silent throughout the whole interrogation asks while pointing at the both of they're right ring fingers.
"What is with that strange claw looking wrapped around both of your right ring fingers?"
What he is referring to is the silver looking claw that is wrapped around Harry's right ring finger and and the black one that's wrapped around Daphne's right finger. Daphne's smirk returns and then shows it off for the others to see as she explains.
"The America's have come up with a few different wand styles, and this is the newest form that they have created. How ever it is still in an experimental phase but it basically gives the illusion of wandless magic towards your opponents. The reason they look a little different is because they aren't made of wood mine is the claw of a hellhound with kitsune blood and a fifth tail hair for it's core."
Before the any of the people of the small group can ask or say anything Harry casually announces.
"While mine is a fang of a kitsune with hellhound blood and tail hair for the core all these things are willing given so they're magical quality a fair amount higher."
The couple once again leave the rest of they're friends in utter shock. but before anyone can question them further or say anything at all the common room open for the rest of the Slytherin students.
Crabbe and Goyle help a still unconscious Nott up to they're dorm room.
As the last members of the house enter the Slytherin common area Snape proceeds to give his normal beginning of the year speech that basically says stick together outside of the house and deal with in house problems in house. The man still looks very pale from what happened in the great hall earlier that evening and look to barely standing on his own power. After he finishes his speech he quickly makes his way out of the common room towards his own private quarters his robes billowing behind him.
Once Snape leaves Harry and Daphne bid they're small group a good night and head towards the fire place where Harry then softly hisses something in parsletongue. Soon afterwards the fire goes out and slides down to show a hidden staircase that the two enter.
The other student looks startled at this event but before anyone can say anything at all the fireplace slides back up hiding the secret room away.
As they reached the top of the small flight of stairs the couple came to see a large Gothic medieval looking room with a single couch and another fire place two door across each other one being the bedroom and the other a bathroom. Daphne looks around to take in the room then turns to Harry with a raised eyebrow but before she can question him he shrugs and says.
"This is Salazar Slytherin's personal living chambers, truthfully these are suppose to be the head of house rooms but I guess they have been lost for awhile."
Daphne smirks before turning around and heads to the bedroom with Harry following behind her. As they enter the bedroom they see a king sized four poster bed, a different type snake carved elegantly into a the wood of each poster. The bedding itself looks like it has been recently cleaned is a forest green with accents of black and silver. Daphne runs her hand over the bed and mentally note that it feels like Egyptian silk. The walls the couple also notes are a very warm looking oak with the hint of more earthy colours.
After looking around the room the couple undresses and prepares for bed. When Daphne then puts her hands on her hips and taps her foot expectantly.
Harry then grumbles about never betting on his cousin ever again and kicking his ass, while Daphne simply smirks and waits patiently. Harry sighs and then transforms into tails and yips agitatedly at her.
Daphne then smiles brightly and climbs on to the bed then crawls on all fours till she is hovering over her foxy boyfriend. Daphne then kisses his nose and falls on her side beside him and wraps her arms around him and brings him tightly to her chest as if tails is her most cherished stuffed animal.
Tails licks Daphne's hand softly in a comforting sign of good night. Soon The couple relaxes and let's sleep begin to take them as thought of the chaos and excitement that the two will enjoy during the year help lull them fully to sleep.
géosceaft- old English means fate or destiny
I thought it would be a perfect name for the sorting hat. anyways let me know what you all thought of this chapter. Also your thoughts on Daphne and Harry's new wands so until next time. also I'm looking into editing every other chapter so I will probably fire off the revamped version when the next chapter comes hopefully. Cheers
