The King of Slytherin

Chapter 2

          Hadrian shrunk his trunk into his pocket, and walked to the train. He could have easily carried the trunk without shrinking it, because of his smooth, muscled arms and his six foot frame, but he was feeling lazy. He walked over to his friends' usual compartment and sat down. "Hey Theo. Nice socks you have there," he said smirking. 

          Theo looked down in horror at his pink, frilly socks peeking over his jeans. "Please don't tell me I've been walking around wearing these for the past hour," he replied fearfully.

          "Relax. I just charmed them like two seconds ago. They should last for a few hours, though." 

          "You little b-" 

          "Bickering already?" a silky voice chimed in. "I would have expected better behavior from two 17 year old's-oops my bad, I meant 3 years-old's."

          "Shut up, Blaise," they replied at the same time.

          "Hey, you know it's true. Anyway, how have y'all been?" he asked.

          "Good, summer was amazing. My family went to France to visit Grandma, and the food was delicious." Theo responded.

          "That sounds fun. My summer was boring af though, asides from the times I visited you guys."

          "Same. Little Henry lost his last tooth and there was a fucking party. I'm so happy to leave that prison."

          Later on, Daphne Greengrass, Tracey Davis, and Elan Malfoy came and joined their little gang. The rest of the train ride flew by as they talked, bickered, and played cards together.

          After the new first years were sorted, Dumbledore began his annual speech. As usual, they tuned out most of it, except for one part that got everyone interested. "We are to have the honor of hosting a very exciting event over the coming months, an event that has not been held for over a century. It is my very great pleasure to inform you that the Triwizard Tournament will be taking place at Hogwarts this year," Dumbledore proclaimed.

           Most of his friends already knew of course, including him, but it was still pretty exciting. "So, are you guys gonna do it?" Theo asked everyone.

          "Well, it seems pretty dangerous, but nothing I can't handle," Blaise said confidently.

          Elan snorted behind him. "You sure about that mate? I for one, still haven't forgotten that fun little incident in 2nd year." Hadrian burst out laughing.

          "I don't even want to know.." Theo said.

          The next morning, after his run, he strode into the great hall with his friends. His well fitting shirt hugged his lean build, and his raven hair was untamable as always. Today, the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students were arriving, so everyone was gathered for breakfast earlier than usual. Finally, Dumbledore announced that they had arrived and the doors of the Great Hall opened. 

          About 20 or 30 beautiful girls confidently walked in. Most, if not all of them were veelas, and pretty much all of the boys were drooling in their seats, as well as a few girls. Hadrian was an exception though, and he didn't find himself staring at all. He sorta knew why...but he didn't want anyone to pick up on it so he tried to act as if he were being affected by the veelas, too. 

          A few seats over, Daphne Greengrass was dealing with quite the opposite problem. She tried to make herself look away but god they were so-no she shouldn't be thinking like that. She was a girl, she had to act like one, she tried to tell herself.

          Meanwhile, the Beauxbaton students were very amused by how they were making the Hogwarts students feel. They eventually chose to sit with the Slytherins (much to the disappointment of the other houses) because a few snakes had already caught the veelas' eyes. To Daphne's horror, Fleur Delacour had chosen to sit next to her, and it took every ounce of her self control to act unaffected by her presence.

          After the Beauxbaton students had settled down, the doors once again opened, and a bunch of tall, broad men marched in. When Viktor Krum was sighted, the hall broken into whispers, and to the disgust of many, Ron Weasel let out a girly squeal. The Durmstrang wizards also chose to sit at Slytherin, because out of all the houses, they looked the most calm and composed. Hadrian found himself sitting next to Viktor Krum, and they both began to politely converse with each other. This would be interesting, Hadrian thought to himself.
