Twin Rejection

Halloween

A week has gone by since I had woken up with a pounding headache and it finally was Halloween. I had been looking forward to this day for ages and now it's time. Since there were no classes that day, we could show up however we wanted and dress up in whatever way we wanted.

I decided not to fully dress up and steal some clothes from my brothers instead. Well they do have pretty cool clothes, mind you. I took some black ripped jeans from Draco, a dark green oversized hoodie with a skull on the back from Blaise and a pair of my own dark green sneakers. Plus, I snatched Theo's black beanie. To that I asked a seventh-year girl to put some makeup stuff on me so my face looked like a skull and my hands like skeleton hands.

It turned out really realistic and creepy so a few first-year girls started screeching and running away when they saw me. That was already hilarious but since they were the only ones (except the girl that helped me, of course) to have already seen my look, I decided to make a grand, dramatic entrance to the Great Hall.

And again, I needed help but that time I asked Severus as he was coming towards me.

"Sev!" I said rather loudly to catch his attention. "May I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it, Hadrian? And I told you not to call me Sev!" He seemed a little annoyed but I didn't expect anything less.

"Whatever you say, Sev. Well anyways, I was planning to make a dramatic entrance to the Great Hall but I can't do it alone. So, can you help me?" I looked at him with the best puppy dog eyes I could muster up with the skeleton makeup on. "Please, Sev? Pretty please with a cherry on top? And chocolate sprinkles that taste like coffee with exactly one teaspoon of milk and two teaspoons of sugar, just how you like it?"

"How do you even know how I like my cof-... You know what? Nevermind. Fine. Come."

Time skippidy to the most dramatic, enthralling entrance of the one and only Hadrian Scorpius Nott

Third person narrator

Students were sat in the Great Hall, talking loudly to friends and admiring the decoration when suddenly all the candles went out and smoke started to come in from the doors. Everyone stopped talking, younger students were looking around slightly scared while older students and all the teachers slowly pulled out their wands. Well, all teachers except Severus Snape, who sat there quietly, smirking to himself.

Voices came from every corner of the room.

"It is time" "Put down your weapons" "surrender" "this will be your downfall"

Short sentences were chanted over and over, the voices slowly turning from whispers to loud shouts when suddenly they all disappeared.

Everything was completely silent. Not a single sound could be heard.

Then a person stepped out of the smoke. Kids began screaming and teachers were shocked to see a skeleton in the Great Hall.

But then a snort was heard. Rapidly everyone turned their heads towards the teacher's table.

Another snort.

Chuckles.

And now the professor that was least expected to even show the beginning of a smile was sitting there in his chair laughing so loud he was struggling to keep sitting.

And not a minute later he lay on the floor, still laughing hard and trying to breathe.

Another minute later the skeleton and a Slytherin seventh-year student joined him in rolling on the ground laughing and holding their sides. And as that occurred at Hogwarts, basically the weirdest school ever, everyone got over their shock of seeing Severus Snape laugh fairly quickly and started laughing as well. Everyone except John Potter who was desperately trying to cover up that he peed his pants.

Hadrian's POV

Once I sat down in my seat compliments on my costume came from everywhere. Even from the other tables. But not even two minutes had passed when a Gryffindor first-year boy called Dean, as far as I know, sniffed and the exclaimed loudly. "Ew! It smells like pee! John! Did you piss yourself? OMG you actually did!"

And everyone started roaring with laughter again. John Potter, the boy who just wouldn't die, peed his pants!

He just sat there ashamed of himself. I'd call that progress. Not standing there like a pig on a stick boasting about stuff he can't do without his momma holding his hand but actually being quiet.

Luckily for him, Quirrel chose exactly that moment to run inside the Hall shouting something about a troll. Immediately everyone shut up. A panting Quirrel stood in front of Dumbledore.

"Troll! In the dungeons! There's a troll in the dungeons! Thought you ought to know." Then he promptly passed out.

And as if there hasn't already been enough commotion for two weeks everyone started screaming again and some even stood and ran towards the doors.

"SILEEEENCE!" Dumbledore screamed and he actually had a voice crack there. He coughed once before continuing. "Good. Now, everyone calmly follow your prefects to your common rooms. The food will be delivered there shortly. Professors will come with me."

Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors instantly left while we Slytherins stood there cluelessly on where to go as Quirrel clearly said the troll was in the dungeons.

"Um...how about we just go to the Hufflepuffs. They left last so they shouldn't have gotten too far yet." A prefect suggested. Murmurs of agreement spread throughout my fellow snakes.

Together we hurried out of the hall and caught up with the badgers whom we politely asked if we could reside within their common room until the troll was taken care of. Being the kind people they are they accepted the request and let us in.

Their common room was nearly as cool as ours and as big as ours, too, so there was enough space for both houses to sit and eat breakfast.

During the time we were there I not only made a new friend, Brianna Lighton, but also had the best breakfast ever. You'd be jealous. Very jealous.

(A/N sorry this chapter turned out to be pretty short but I'll try to make the next one longer again)
