When Hadrian woke up the next morning he had gotten ready for Hogwarts and had slapped on his  black coat, grey shirt, green bandanna with silver linings and also put on the Locket his father told him to wear when he was old enough and played it before he

closed it and put it on his neck and grabbed his items and when he headed to the same dock he took a train to King's Cross and got odd looks but when one child asked him if he was a pirate he

 lied saying "no i'm heading to a play" and the child wished him luck and he sat there with his trunk shrunk and his sword showing through his coat and a diagonal belt holding multiple 

identical gun shells and a pistol hidden by his coat eventually he went to King's Cross and he realized he never asked the Professor where the platform was he sighed but then he felt a tug

 around a brick wall and he saw right through the illusion and ran through and hopped on the 

express saving a seat for Hermione and she eventually came in saying "this is where you were?! seriously! i was checking for whole Minutes!" "what could i do? hold up a huge Las Vegas-Style 

Board saying "I AM HERE HERMIONE JEAN GRANGER ?" Hermione couldn't hold it in and 

laughed along with Hadrian and they sat down and Hermione was eating the candy that Hadrian Assured her was non-sugar while Hadrian told her the truth oh his heritage "hermione?" he said  "yes Hadrian" "do you remember

 Charles Potter?" "why.." "well did you know he had a brother" "he did? but that impossible Lady Potter claimed she couldn't have anymore children" "then look into my memories" "how?" "this" as he summoned a pensive and she went in when she came back out she stood shocked 

"Hadrian, i'm sorry" "it's OK what could've you done? you were only 5" "wait when's your birthday? September 10th" "so you're a few days older than me, September 19th" "aye" at this moment an red-haired boy said "Charles Potter is handing out autographs" "wonderful. well i'm sorry to tell you, good sir but i am not interested in getting an autograph are you Hermione?" Hermione shook her head and he continued "now my friend doesn't either if you wish for 

anything else please let us hear it" and he left muttering something about slimy snakes and the two closed the door and groaned and then Hadrian said "hey hermione want to play Exploding Snap? 

and after they had played for hours  the Hogwarts express came to a stop and she said "Hadrian! your robes!" "don't worry it was part of the deal that i could come to Hogwarts" "huh?" "1. I may keep my weapons 2. i may wear whatever i desire even on weekends because i don't want to have to worry about keeping my robes dry" "oh" as they went into the mob a Giant of a man said "First Years! First Years! right this way to the boats!" and so they hopped on the dingy and Hadrian said "wanna head to Hogwarts aboard the Dutchman?" "o-OK" and so with a wave of his hand the a Massive Ship 

pulled out and the two were teleported to the ship and it was sailing with the tiny boats and the crew knew of the Granger girl and they did their hardest to make sure the ship did it's best above water and they docked in the area that magically expanded for the Trade Galleon and they stepped off and went with the crowd and then they were confronted by another red haired boy 

who had Hazel eyes and was very chubby quite the contrary to Hadrian's skeletal appearance and said "you two don't want autographs of the Boy-Who-Lived" and Hadrian said "The Dutchman's Captain And Her Queen have better things to do then get autographs from somebody whom got very Lucky just because Calypso favored ye once doesn't mean she won't do it again after all the Sea is unpredictable so who knows" "Calypso?" "Ye Gods! does nobody ever teach proper religion here? ugh how do i say this short and simple: Calypso is the goddess of the seas there end of story the world was created by the Greek gods but Calypso was the Goddess of the Sea with Poseidon taking the Saltwater and she taking the fresh water which makes up most of the oceans there can your wee landlubber mind handle that?" at that moment

 some ghosts showed up and one that look liked a Fat Monk said "New students hope to see you in Hufflepuff my own house you know!" and when Mcgonagall came in she said we're ready for you and although Hadrian wanted to be in Slytherin he felt guilty that Hufflepuff was the house nobody wanted however the ghost hoped Hufflepuff would get some people who were actually excited for it and so the hat came alive and sung

"Oh you may not think I'm pretty,

 But don't judge on what you see,
 I'll eat myself if you can find
 A smarter hat than me.

 You can keep your black,
 Your sleek and tall,
 For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.

There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.

You might belong in , Gryffindor
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;

You might belong in , Hufflepuff
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old , Ravenclaw
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"

as the school all clapped at the end Hadrian zoned out until 

Granger, Hermione!

SLYTHERIN

and then his own name was called

Potter-Jones Hadrian!
a rumbling sound could be heard as the earth itself was ripping apart and the Dutchman appeared with Hadrian swinging from the crow's nest swinging around the hat until he landed on his back right next to the hat coming up imminently, he bowed and took the hat with pure-blood grace and the hat started to talk and he saw through the hat the Dutchman fade in the distance while the earth repaired itself 

"ah i see, a Captain of the Sea, oh you're cunning ambition and determination are god-like Salazar would commit genocide to put you in Slytherin but i sense you also feel pity despite not having a heart in the literal sense but that fact might make Hufflepuffs fear you and the fact your one is in Slytherin i have to do this" and out loud it said "IT IS MY HONOR TO PLACE HIM IN...SLYTHERIN! and the Slytherin table burst into collected applause and he sat next to 

Hermione and the feast commenced and after the feast they headed to the dungeons and into the common room after hearing the rules he stood on a dresser and said "ALRIGHT LANDLUBBERS! LISTEN UP AND LISTEN GOOD BECAUSE I WILL NOT REPEAT MYSELF TO YE DEAF DUNDERHEADS THIS LADY" as he helped hermione on it and said "IS INDEED A MUGGLE-BORN, 

HOWEVER IF I HEAR ONE WORD AGAINST HER I WILL WHIP YE SO HARD YOU'LL WISH I HAD JUST SENT YE TO THE LOCKER! AM I UNDERSTOOD, LANDLUBBERS?" with multiple quick "YES CAPTAIN!" he said "Good! now let us head to bed because Calypso knows i'm tired beyond all 

compression and that yelling didn't do me any good" as Hadrian went into his room he had changed it to match his captain's cabin aboard the Dutchman where there was a small table in the middle with a map of the world on it and a bottle of rum and a compass and some cards that reflected your future but they didn't show: odd he thought and he saw his hammock with it's pillow and comfy blanket and changed into his simple grey sleep shirt and some comfortable black pants and slept
