Names - A HP Fanfiction

Chapter 1 - | Sorting Surprise |

"HEINRICH RIDDLE!"

McGonagall shouted, her voice loud enough to be heard by the entirety of the Great Hall as the students silenced, or started to whisper to their seat mates as the majority of the hall were used of the reaction.

After a split second a soft click in the floors alerted the entire hall as a thin lithe boy stepped forward and put what looked to be a small book into his robes pocket.
The pale boy had an unruly hairdo that softly fell into the nape of his neck in waves and soft curls as his intelligent velvet eyes looked at the sorting hat intriguingly.

His pale, porcelain like face had greatly blended with his raven hair as a thin, yet structured nose inhaled a deep breath, his teeth lightly biting his bottom lip in nervousness.

He closed his eyes in anticipation as the sorting hat obscured his vision.

"Why good evening to you, Young Riddle. Or as I am delighted to say, Mr Potter."

"Are you going to tell the Headmaster? If you are my 'father' has already tainted three of Hogwarts' priceless artifacts, I believe that he would be rather delighted at having four tainted artifacts." Heinrich threatened.

"Not to worry young heir, my loyalty belongs to Hogwarts herself, not the head masters or head mistress's. Now, where... my, my, never have I ever had a student that is so identical to Salazar."

"What do you mean?"

"Your question will be answered if you answer mine. If you had entered Slytherin and never got the chance to actually reach your goals, what would you do?"

"I would be grateful for my current life, because although I wasn't what I had desired, I at least have the knowledge of the fact that I had tried to reach for the stars instead of wishing for it."

"And you have proven my point. Now, do you accept the house of Slytherin?"

"Yes."

"Very well, you'll do best in... SLYTHERIN!"

The Slytherin table politely cheered for their new member, though on the inside they were repulsed of their new mudblood 'member'.

That same night, the headmaster paced in his office. Getting flashbacks of Tom Riddle in his room when he first visited him.

After a few minutes of pacing in his office, he let his thoughts form a plan on getting this 'Heinrich Riddle' under his thumb.

The following day, Heinrich woke up to Nero poking at his cheek. After a few seconds he got up and found that he was completely covered in mud, he sighed and waved his hand, making the mud disappear.

He looked around and saw that his dorm mates were sleeping. Heinrich looked at each of them closely trying to find whose breathing was uneven. He found that a boy with platinum blond hair had not only uneven breathing, but also furrowed eyebrows, and a clenched jaw.

He decided to leave it for now, and get ready for the day.

He took some of his personal necessities and slowly walked to the black lake making a small stop towards the kitchen, and making sure to avoid the teacher's as he sensed them coming close to him. Since bumping into them would cause small talk. He didn't want them knowing about his home situation so early in the year.

When he arrived he checked the time, his tempus read 5:37 am, Perhaps I woke too late then. Although it could be because the Lake was more farther away then I had thought. He thought to himself, setting down his satchel and and started to read The webs Of Occlumenccy by Severus T. Snape. He was interested in the subject and was pleased to hear that he was teaching the potions class and was their head of house.

Though he noticed something odd about him last night at the feast. He looked pained as he stared at him, as though he reminded him of someone else that he had lost. But Professor Snape wasn't the only teacher that looked at him oddly. There was also Professor Quirrel, he stared at him with confusion swirling around crimson eyes.

"—ster, Master?" Heinrich blinked as his train of thought was interrupted and looked down to see Nero stare at him with intelligent velvet eyes.

"I apologize my dear Nero did I space out again?" He said, offering a small apologetic smile to his bonded.

Twisting himself onto his wrist, "Actually Master, I'm here to ask permission to hunt." He asked. "Very well, but be back before classes start alright?"

"Thank you Master, I'll be back beforehand." Nero said, making his way towards The Forbidden Forest.

An hour later Heinrich returned to the Dorms to get his school books and change into his uniform.
