Hadrian And Ariana

Chapter 4

Harry

Sirius waved me goodbye as I got on the train. I got my things on the train and walked through the train for a seat. I wasn't the only one who was weirded out by a resorting. I found Luna and Neville so I sat with them. Neville and I were really nervous. Neville told me of the Death Eater attack. So my mate's followers follow in suite to my hopeful destruction. It didn't matter, in honesty I think Magic and Destiny cursed me.

Ron and Hermione hadn't looked to find me so I'm assuming Hermione wanted to but Ron thought something else. The train ride consisted of Neville talking some nonsense about Death Eaters and Luna talked about the creatures she encounters. Ginny joined us, saying that Lavender was getting annoying. I went to go change and Fred and George captured me so I spent the rest of the ride in their compartment.

Upon arrival, our plain robes were on and no one looked happy. Even some teachers looked dissatisfied. They went up through each year. First it was seventh years, then sixth, then fifth. Fred and George were in a different house, Slytherin. Damn, but I guess they do have a burning ambition. More time went on as soon the forth years were called. Hermione was resorted into Ravenclaw. The whole table said to her "I knew you were supposed to be here!" I laughed. I always thought she would. Then my name was called.

I sat on the stool. The hat then spoke to me. "Ah, Harry Potter. We meet again, and you know what I'm going to say. This time I'm not allowed to take Will into consideration."
"I understand. It won't matter anyway."

"Let it be...SLYTHERIN!"

The room got quiet and I walked to the table. Fred and George welcomed me while everyone else...well it's probably awkward for them. Neville was still a Gryffindor, but the hat almost put him in Hufflepuff. Then third years came in and Luna remained in Ravenclaw. Ginny was resorted into Hufflepuff. Second years went and now I was just talking with Fred and George. I had to show Fred and George a more polite way to eat since we were so used to Gryffindor's way of eating. I was only passable thanks to that portrait woman. As well as Ari's tips. Occasionally I got a few stares from other tables and some Gryffindors had a look of distain. When dinner was over we went to our new dorms. How lucky was I to be the odd number out and get my mate's old room. I didn't mind really.

I sighed and changed. I didn't want to deal with anyone. When Ariana gets here, we're going to be helping Fred and George. You see, most will assume it's the twins and me and Ariana will get rid of the supplies. Fred and George won't get caught and it will cause an uproar. Who else would start pranks? They'll firstly target first years and never realize who was actually doing the pranks.

I went to sleep and hoped for the best.

Ariana

I was in the Library as always. Sirius and Remus were doing something upstairs. To be honest, I think they're doing something dirty but that's just me. Mom and dad wanted to teach me something as well as spend time with me since Harry left earlier and it was boring in the gallery apparently so I brought their living portrait with me.

"You know that reminds me of a prank Sirius and I did in third year. We actually got a reaction out of Dumbledore. Trust me, that's the hardest thing you can do. That man has a serious poker face." Dad was always up for a story of his school days. "Ariana are you sure you want to fall through for that?" Harry and I told them of what we agreed on with the twins. We got polar reactions from mom and dad. Dad was excited we were following the Marauders foot steps while mom was worried that I'd get in trouble and lose focus on my studies. "It's alright. Plus, why would they suspect Harry and I? I've been homeschooled most of my life and I look like you. They'll assume I take after you rather than dad. Harry hasn't done any pranks in all his past three years of Hogwarts. The worst he's been blamed for has been false and he's been adventurous. If they blame him for anything, it might be letting a troll or something in the school." Dad shook his head. "No matter how much Marauder I try to influence in you, you're still like your mother." Mom elbows him and he flinched. "Do you know what classes you want to take?" She means extra classes. In forth I could drop a few if I wanted. "I wanna keep potions and I want to take Divination. I'll see what I get."
