The Marauder's Era (And Others) React To New Life;Second Chances

Chapter Thirty Five

The next bit showed Henrik getting on the Hogwarts express. "What is that?" the Mikaelson's asked.

"The Hogwarts Express, it's what the students ride to get there," Tom said.

Henrik sat on the Hogwarts Express with a few other people. They made conversation and they met Henrik's familiar, Pitch. The students eventually had made it to Hogwarts and across the ocean where the first years were greeted by Tom,

"This was my first year there," Tom told everyone, but mainly his wife.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Tom said, "The start-of-term banquet will begin soon, before it can commence, you will need to be sorted into your House. Your House will be like a family while you are here at Hogwarts. I know you have possibly heard some rumors about rivalries but they are friendly rivalries, we strongly encourage trying to find friends or acquaintances outside your house. The houses are Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. We have a point system and whichever house has the most points at the end of the year wins the House Cup. The ceremony will begin in a few minutes, get yourselves prepared, get rid of your nerves and I will be back," he finished.

Those from the previous timeline looked impressed about Tom's speech. Even Minerva looked impressed; she admits she had been a bit too stern for nervous first years.

Tom went back inside and somebody had mentioned, "Yeah my older sister when she was here said a lot of things had changed when she hit her sixth year. Even a new Deputy Headmaster, she said Dumbledore was creepy," a lot of magically raised had shivered, while Henrik looked mad.

"Mom and dad didn't hide things from me, so I knew exactly what he had done," Henrik explained. His magical siblings all nodded, they knew too.

"Wait, aren't you Lord and Lady Black's blood adopted son?" somebody who looked like a Black looked at Henrik. He nodded, "Well nice to meet you I remember them introducing you and the other two to the House," he said. Tom had come back in, "Okay, time for the ceremony," the ghosts who had made an appearance moaned as the new students were being taken away to be sorted. "WWWWWWHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!" came from everyone's favorite resident poltergeist, Peeves. "KNOCK IT OFF PEEVES," Tom yelled back.

Tom had looked over at Dahlia and Orion in suspicion about the smirks they wore. He always had suspicions that they had done something to make Peeves target him.

"That's Peeves, he's a poltergeist that likes to play pranks," Sirius said to those who had never met the poltergeist.

The first years walked in and looked in amazement. Henrik looked surprised when the Hat came to life.

The Mikaelson's and Hargreeves' also looked surprised. Well the Klaus' didn't, they both started laughing, "Nobody tells their children about the Sorting Hat, it ruins the surprise, Sirius and Regulus would have already know, so would the sisters, so we took advantage with you," Dahlia spoke up, turning around to her oldest child that she could feel staring at her.

The hat had begun its song, singing about the houses and there attributes. He sung about a new future referencing the Peverell family. Tom then took out a scroll with the names. He started reading the names, reaching the B's. "Henrik Black," he announced. Henrik walked up to Tom and sat on the stool. Tom gave him a reassuring look and placed the Hat on him, "Hello there, never thought I would get a Mikaelson," the Hat supposedly said, "Yes I am the Hat, I can see your more curious than anything, and can also cunningness but from both families. But the question is if the curiosity over rules the ambition. Mmmhm okay, Better be Ravenclaw!" he announced. There were some people who were a bit shocked.

"Why are they shocked?" Rebekah asked.

"Yes, I'm the not first one!" Sirius yelled, "We're still in the same house right?" he quickly asked his younger self who nodded, "Not the first one!"

Orion turned back to Rebekah, "Because the House of Black is normally in the Slytherin House, they were shocked because Henrik was not in that House, clearly forgetting Dahlia is Lady Ravenclaw," he explained. "That is why Sirius is excited because previously he was the first Black outside Slytherin."

The screen changed to Orion who seemed to getting ready for something.

Orion was getting prepared for a small date with Dahlia before they went out hunting. Nico and Bianca were visiting their dad and Persephone for the night. Dahlia came down and wow, she had on heeled shoes and her dress was a knee length puffed out skirt, with big straps over her shoulders. She had some darker makeup that made her bright green eyes stand out and her hair was a bit wavy. "Wow," was all Orion could say. She smiled and blushed which caused Orion to smirk as her face got really red with her blush against her very pale skin. She then smirked, "I won the bet," she said.

"Oh?"

"Mmhmm," she got closer to me to the point Orion could feel her breath on his face, Dahlia looked up him and held up a letter, "Henrik's in Ravenclaw," she revealed. "Damn," was his response resulting in a giggle from her.

"You bet on me?" Henrik asked.

"Oh please, we're betting on all of you," Dahlia replied.

Orion shook his head, a small smile on his face, and grabbed her hand as they made there way to a quiet restaurant; Dahlia had relaxed so Orion assumed she saw no unwanted visitors. They had quietly talked, ate there food enjoyed the sunset, debated on whether Apollo got involved in making the sunset look as gorgeous as it did. Dahlia had her head on his shoulder and they just watched before her dress became longer and less flared, her sleeves becoming longer, while Orion's suit became leather. Shadow and Inferno had made their appearance and Orion's motorcycle was heard coming in the distance, "Guess date's over?" Dahlia mumbled.

"Well I don't know I could bring you a sinner I come across," Orion looked at his list, "Yep two are to die," she smiled widely as her eyes got bigger and turned more Emerald then AK.
