All of the first years are now gathered in front of the door to the Great Hall. Hermione was still trailing behind Hadrian and Draco, Blaise trying his best to keep her away from his best friends. The three got to the front of the group as a tall woman wearing an emerald cloak stood in front of them.
She looks across the group of students, "Welcome to Hogwarts. I am Professor McGonagall. In a moment, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates, but before you can take your seats, you must be sorted into your Houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin".
As they heard the name, the three boys straightened their posture and looked proud.
McGonagall continues, "While here, your House is, in many ways, your family. Your triumphs will earn your House points, while any rule-breaking will lose points. At the end of the year, the House with the most is awarded the House Cup, a great honour. I hope each of you-".
She gets interrupted by a large toad jumping in front of the group. Hadrian quickly grabs it and holds it close to his chest.
A voice calls out, "Trevor!".
Hadrian turns to see a boy with short dark hair running over.
He hands the boy the toad and whispers, "'There you go. Keep a good hold on him".
The boy nods, "Thank you".
McGonagall squints at the pair and continues, "Each of you will be a credit to whichever House becomes yours. The Sorting Ceremony will begin momentarily".
Professor McGonagall glowers at the boy and heads inside the Great Hall. The students around them start to engage in their own conversations.
Hadrian turns to the boy who was holding tightly onto his frog, "I never thought I would like the name Trevor for a toad".
He smiles, "T-thanks. He's a gift from my uncle".
Hadrian smiles, "Well, you're a very lucky boy". He bows politely, "My name is Hadrian Malfoy...". He gestures to Draco beside him, "...and this is my twin brother, Draco".
"Nice to meet you both. I'm Neville Longbottom".
They hear a female voice from the crowd, "He's over here".
Hadrian sighs in annoyance as he recognises the voice.
Neville notices this, "Something wrong?".
Hadrian rubs his temples "It's about to be".
Hermione walks up with a red-headed boy, smiling widely, "See? I told you".
The boy looks at her confused, "Uh, I hate to break it to you, Hermione, but Harry Potter isn't blonde, and wears glasses".
She sighs, "I know that. But, trust me, I saw the scar. It's really him".
Hadrian grunts, "For the last time, I'm...not...Harry...Potter".
She laughs, "Come on, yes you are, here's I'll show-".
Just as she raises her hand towards his hair, a hand grabs her wrist and another pushes her back.
They hear two male voices, "Step away from the Malfoys".
Hadrian turns to see two boys, a little taller than him and his brother, who stand in between him and Hermione.
He turns to Draco and smirks, "Je pense que nous avons trouvé nos gardes du corps" (I think we found our bodyguards).
