HOGWARTS AND THE DARK SECRETS

CH-14 WARNING

"Xenophilius entered the room and said in a casual tone, 'You, wake up, if you don't mind. Could I possibly wear your black jacket? My crush, Freya Valentius, has arrived here.'"

Oliver, who had just woken up, got out of bed and put on his slippers from under the bed. He said, 'Of course, you can take it, I mean I understand.'

Xenophilius Adamos said, 'Thanks, by the way, we need to go to Hogwarts School today as the 3rd year is starting. Will you come with us? You'll go with our house-elf.'

Oliver said, 'House-elf? I want you to come with me too, it means we'll save time together.'

'No, Bellatrix sent me a letter that if you come with me, I'll have to go, sorry mate,' Xenophilius said.

'No problem, that's alright, I'm going to take a shower. Bye bye,' Oliver said and went to take a shower."

"Oliver finished showering and sat down for breakfast; his father had gone to work in Greece. Xenophilius's mom's name is Georgia. Her face somewhat resembled Xenophilius, with slightly protruding green eyes and apple-red cheeks.

Georgia asked, 'Do you want something, dear? Anything?'

'No, thank you. I've eaten,' Oliver replied.

Freya Valentius sat on the chair next to Oliver, and Xenophilius sat beside her. They finished their breakfast.

Oliver called his respective house elf and headed home to prepare.

3 hours later

Xenophilius went inside the Hogwarts Express train and took a seat in front of Bellatrix's compartment."

Bellatrix pulled out the Daily Prophet from her bag and started reading, 'Today's big news.' Bellatrix paused, looked at Xenophilius for two seconds, and then continued reading, 'On this day, the deputy house mistress of Hogwarts School has passed away. Her name was Cassandra Nott. She was the last member of the Nott family, and she had no surviving children. With her passing, the Nott family's lineage also ends. The cause of death is reported to be a heart attack.'"

Bellatrix threw the Daily Prophet aside and exclaimed in frustration, 'nothing, nothing, happy, nothing, happy, anything is not right, everything is useless, useless.'

Xenophilius said, 'For God's sake, calm down. Keep calm. I know we can't overlook any good news, everything is useless.'

Bellatrix calmed down and with a sense of guilt said, 'Don't doubt, I'm not crazy, I just got really angry.'

'I understand, nothing good seems to be happening,' Xenophilius replied."

Bellatrix remarked, "It's good that someone understands me. Anyway, let's put all that aside. Tell me, how is Oliver?"

"He's doing well, he's doing well," Xenophilius responded. Inside the compartment, there's a girl who, making squeaking noises like a mouse, uttered, "Don't make too much noise, I'm studying. I'm not crazy, let me read in peace." Having said this, she departed.

For the next 2 minutes, Bellatrix grappled with herself and commented, "It was peculiar, very peculiar, very peculiar."

Xenophilius concurred with her statement.

A little while later, the Hogwarts Express has arrived at its destination, and all the students are seated at their respective house tables in the Great Hall. Bellatrix is sitting at the Gryffindor house table. Oliver has Lucas Malfoy and Lucius Malfoy seated on one side, contemplating how they'll make the most of their final year at Hogwarts. On the other side of Oliver, Xenophilius is seated.

The Sorting Ceremony is about to begin, and the professors, along with Headmistress Professor Victoria, are expressing their sadness due to the passing of Cassandra Nott.

Afterward, Professor Victoria starts calling out names for the new students. The first girl's name is called, "Cassiopeia Lambros." A girl emerges from the crowd, looking nervous, and after a moment of hesitation, she sits down. Professor Victoria places the Sorting Hat on her head, and after a brief pause, the hat shouts "Ravenclaw." The girl stands and walks towards the Ravenclaw table.

Next, the name "Tryphone Economos" is called. A hesitant boy emerges from the crowd, muttering to himself that he'll end up in a certain house. He takes his seat, and the Sorting Hat sings a song before finally shouting "Slytherin." The boy gets up and heads to the Slytherin table.

"Alessandra Agathangelou" is the next name. A girl confidently seats herself before Professor Victoria places the Sorting Hat on her head. After a short moment, the hat shouts "Gryffindor." She stands and goes to the Gryffindor table. This process continues for all the students until only one name remains.

Finally, "Sebastian Bakirtzis" is called. A boy is chosen from the crowd and takes his seat. The Sorting Hat is placed on his head, and after a moment of anticipation, the hat shouts "Gryffindor." The boy excitedly stands and joins his fellow Gryffindors at their table.

After placing the Sorting Hat on the last student's head, the professor set the hat down and proceeded to leave for her meal. As everyone enjoyed their feasts, the Sorting Hat suddenly started shouting, "Warning, warning will be given. Strange events, unknown to anyone, secrets will be revealed, curtains will be drawn, warning, warning. Pay attention to everything, think about what's happening. Nothing is unimportant, take care of yourselves, for what's coming will come, pay attention to unity, it's my unity."

Everyone's faces had turned pale. A person approached and took the shouting hat to its designated place. Professor Victoria reassured everyone that it was all nonsense, that the hat often behaved like this, and urged them not to let their minds run wild. She asked them to remain calm, emphasizing that nothing of the sort was going to happen, dismissing the claims as pointless chatter.

Amidst the clamor, one girl was even shouting at the top of her lungs. It took at least an hour to calm everyone down, and afterward, they were sent to their respective house rooms. Lucas Malfoy and Lucius Malfoy were discussing what might happen and what could be going on.

Xenophilius and Oliver began discussing among themselves. "What do you think?" Xenophilius asked with curiosity.
"I don't know," Oliver replied.

Conversations started to emerge among the students. For at least two hours, they talked about the incident. However, after some time, fatigue set in, and everyone started feeling sleepy. They all retired to their rooms and went to sleep.
