Entering Hogwarts!

"Ugh this place...I cannot find anywhere to sit!" Erebus groaned as he kept walking through one cabinet to next, just to find it full of idiotic people sitting there. Sighing he leaned against the wall in boredom, he did not mind standing the whole trip, but still what a drag. A certain head hung out through one cabinet, blonde hair. Someone he recognized earlier before he stepped inside the train. He was having a discussion with someone, if he heard right his name was Malfoy or something.

Malfoy looked out through the cabinet, firstly he wanted candies, but also he was intrigued of what the dark aura he felt coming from. It was technically just as powerful as Harrys' the difference was that Harrys' had a welcoming, light magic. While this, well Erebus had a much darker one. Who knows they might be enemies in future? When Malfou caught the sight of the kid that was standing there by the wall, he cleared his throat "Uhm, would you mind stepping inside? My friends aren't here anyways" Malfoy spoke as he went back inside his cabinet and sat down. Erebus just shook his head in confusion, sighing. Who was that idiot now? Ignoring his thoughts he decided to join him and sat down, facing the blonde haired boy.

"So who are you? I haven't seen you here before, but yet you seem to be very powerful! Oh right...my name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" he spoke as he held out his arm to shake his hand. Erebus rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed, he might be an ally in future, but it did not mean he liked the boy, he was clearly annoying. Erebus took a deep breath before accepting and shook his hand "Erebus, just Erebus" He spoke as he closed his eyes. But was soon disturbed by a yell by Malfoy, his eyes wide open now. "What is it now?" Erebus responded as he saw Malfoys' terrified expression. "A-a snake! What the-" Draco got interrupted by Erebus, not able to end his sentence. "His mine, so what? Do not worry he won't hurt, even though he is toxic. I am her master" he responded as he looked at Draco, while petting Eria. Draco just seemed to get more freaked out by every moment that was passed. "A-a parselmouth! You are the first one since...you know who" Malfoy spoke as he was nearly about to faint. Erebus raised his eyebrows as he looked at the blonde 'idiot' "You mean Voldemort? Why fear his name, he is history. I'll surpass him when the time comes" Erebus replied as he stood up and walked out of the cabinet to look out through the window. All the talk made the time fly fast, and he could already see the huge castle from the window, knowing that they have already arrived. Malfoy soon walked out after him. "Oh god, he is definately a Slytherin" The blonde thought in his head as the two stepped out of the train as they had finally arrived.

Erebus looked around, a lake were blocking the path to Hogwarts so, a fat man, Hagrid. Escorted the first year children to the boats, two people for each boat. As Erebus knew he got paired up with the blonde haired dobe. He just could not wait until they had finally arrived at the school. It took about half an hour until that ride was finally over, finally! He was at Hogwarts, looking at the castle in awe, he haven't seen much of this, before he got the letter, or more he did not see anything.

Walking inside the castle with the other students he met no other than the person who sent him the letter, so he was very grateful of that. She later escorted all the first year students from the hall, to the Great Hall. It was quite amazing with all the decoration and all lights floating in the air. All the other year students sat on their desks, full of food on, it was like a paradise for Erebus. Each desk representing the houses.

The first year students although needed to walk past the tables standing in front of the teachers. A stool facing the students as McGonnagall held something that looked like an old hat, but what surprised him more was the fact that it could talk. Behind them sat an old man with long white beard in a throne like chair. That must be the Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore. Beside him sat two teachers, on one side the fat man that escorted them to the boat, and the other was the new teacher in DADA also known as Defence Against Dark Arts, Professor Quirrel.

Before the sorting cermony would start, Dumbledore himself stood up and looked down at the students. "I am sorry for interrupting the sortings! But welcome to another new year of Hogwarts! Before we get started we have to explain a few rules. Do not walk outside the castle after 9:00pm, when it is getting dark. There is a few restricted areas also, you need to avoid for your own safety. But last and most important. Do not walk to the Forbidden Forest, you see...well you can just hear the name, why it is against the rules." The old man spoke as he rubbed his beard. "Well, I am not here to ruin the fun so let the evening begin!" The Headmaster spoke as he clapped his hands before sitting back down on the chair.

Erebus knew that the old principal eyed him a lot. He was not that stupid. He was told by the sekler that this man was the Grandmaster at manipulating, so he just had to keep calm and instead pay attention to the sorting cermony. Erebus waited and waited until it was finally two students left, him and Harry Potter. The white haired dobe went to Slytherin just as he thought, the ginger and the genius girl went to Gryffindor both, and the rest...well honestly he did not pay attention to it.

"Harry Potter!" The voice of  the Headmistress was heard as the young boy with glasses walked his way up, shaking a little as he sat down on the stool. "Why so stressed?" Erebus thought to himself as he looked at the boy. It was crazy how long time it took. What did the two talk about? It was dissapointing, Erebus would love to hear the discussion. That did not matter. The only thing Erebus heard was 'not Slytherin' by Harry.

"Gryffindor!" The house hat yelled as Harry ran off to the other classmates he have, to join in the table.

"Well...I guess Gryffindor is not the house either for me...too foolish." The orphan boy spoke to himself, which left him only two houses Slytherin or Ravenclaw. But he was sure that Slytherin was the right choice. He was a parselmouth after all.

"Erebus!" Minerva spoke out, Erebus walked up towards her to sit down on the stool. Confused and yet mad. Why did she not tell my last name? If someone knows it is Dumbledore...something really is going on here, I need to find out what." Erebus thought to himself as he felt the connection. Minerva had placed the hat on his head already.

"Hmm...intelligent, powerful...very dark.." The hat spoke to Erebus as he thought. "This, just like Harry is hard...you remind me a lot of a student long ago..." The hat said as Erebus rubbed his head confused. "Hmm really, who?" Erebus replied, curiously.

"Tom Marvolo Riddle...a talented child indeed. Grew powerful he did. You have the same potential, the question is what are you going to use your powers for?" The hat spoke in a rather deep voice as it was in deep thought.

"Well...Slytherin!" The hat yelled as McGonnagall lifted up the hat and looked at Erebus with a sad expression. That did not matter. Glancing back quickly he saw Dumbledore eye him with a wide smile. That fake smile...he could see it right through him. Ignoring it, the Slytherin student walked down to join the others at the table, sitting down beside Malfoy.

"Well I guess that went good..." Erebus spoke to himself as he filled his plate with all kinds of food. For the first time, he would have his stomach full. "Good? That was amazing! You are also a Slytherin!" Draco said happily as he punched Erebus lightly, but jokingly on the shoulder. "Well...I guess...anyways let's enjoy the dinner now." Erebus responded as he began eating, and talking with the other Slytherins', before they walked back to the their dorm.

Somewhere else;

A tall man, with long blonde hair walked inside the cave like area, and bowed his head lightly. Facing him, sat a beautiful, woman. With black hair and a black robe, on a throne like chair.

"What is it now Lucius?" She spoke in a dark voice, her aura scared most people. Standing up as she looked down at her servant.

"My lady...Erebus, he is a Slytherin..." He replied with a smirk on his lips, a similar smirk was formed on her lips as she closed her eyes. "Well then, that's good. I cannot wait to meet him...my son." She spoke with a smile before sitting down on the throne. "You are dismissed..." She Said as she watched Lucius running out of the room. Her arms crossed as she sat in thought. "So you still alive...my son." She thought, wasn't he dead? That Dumbledore had fooled her! But that was the last time. She would reunite with her son sooner or later.
