Wizarding ninja Heir

Ch.11 | Hogwarts Tour

Zeke grinned, and people cheered happily as he walked to the table with the blue robes. He wondered whether they cheered because the final student was a Ravenclaw or because they were hungry and wanted to eat. Seeing all the other tables cheering meant that it was the latter.

As he walked to the table, Zeke had to ponder why they were called Ravenclaw if their emblem was an eagle... Or was it the other way around? Why was their emblem an eagle even the though their name was Ravenclaw? Who messed up? The people with the Logo, or those with the name? Zeke thought of it, and the answer instantly came to mind. The library of knowledge he had created opened and took one of the many books on its shelves.

'So in the end, the names of the founders of Hogwarts inspired the names for the houses... which means that it was whoever created the logo who messed up... which would mean Rowena Ravenclaw messed up.' Zeke sat down next to Luna, it seemed her strangeness had isolated her from any conversation.

"Nice to see a friendly face!" Luna smiled brightly. Zeke smiled and nodded, turning around to look at the table on the other side. Gryffindor's table was loud, louder than the other tables, Zeke looked at everyone individually but couldn't find Harry or Ron, instead, he found Ginny being teased by her brothers. The chatting continued, Zeke tried to be friendly to everyone, but a lot of the Ravenclaw members seemed to be weary of him, they were cautious and shy. The members that did talk to him, spoke a lot about the academics in the school, giving tips on study locations, or places with little noise.

The Ravenclaws that weren't shy also asked a lot of questions. So many it became hard to keep track, they would ask one after the other, mostly about academics, and past experiences with spells. Some of them would ask things a regular human would, like Why Zeke wore sunglasses inside?

Of course, Zeke answered the questions sparingly, he couldn't answer all of them at once. A lot of questions were being directed at him, even though there were several students that joined. Zeke turned his head to look to his left, Luna was quiet, it was a stark difference from the train where she was so eager to ask questions at every waking moment. Had she asked everything she wanted to ask while he was sat down in the wooden chair? Was that why he was the only one receiving questions?

The questions were interrupted by the sound of a ringing glass. The focus of all, shifted to the professor's table, where the headmaster, professor Dumbledore, got up and gave a speech about the upcoming year. Zeke wasn't listening, he instead focused on the two teachers staring at him. He felt like they would melt his head off by staring at him so intensely. One was a thin man with sallow skin, and yellow, uneven teeth. He had shoulder-length, greasy black hair and cold, black eyes. He wore all-black flowing robes. He didn't know who the man was, but he stared at Zeke cautiously, his stare had narrowed eyes and knit eyebrows as he hid his mouth using his hand.

The other person staring at him was on the other side of the professor's table, it was a thin woman, draped in gauzy shawls, cloaks, and bangles all covered with shining sequins and glittering strings of beads. He narrowed his eyes behind his sunglasses, it was the same woman from his vision, the one that had told him he would die. Her stare was more curious than the previous teacher, it was like she was sizing him up with a smile that said she wanted to talk to him later.

"Are you curious about Professor Trelawney?" One of the Ravenclaws voiced. Zeke turned his head toward her, "Her classes are quite rubbish if you ask me, not at all real." Many at the table seemed to agree, "I wonder how she was able to get into this prestigious school with the garbage she calls material." Zeke didn't know who Trelawney was, he hadn't talked with her at all outside of his vision, and she seemed very... well, passionate about what she preached.

"She's been staring at me for the past few minutes," Zeke had a feeling he already knew why, in his vision, she said it was because he had the gift -- supposedly the gift of future sight. "Does that mean something?"
