While sailing on the boats, Hadrian thought about sending his father a letter about the incident on the train and if they should reveal themselves to the Lupin-Black family, they are family after all.
Before going to Hogwarts, Regalus had cancelled Hadrian's and his mental conection as he didn't want to hear all of the teenage drama and to go through lessons again. So he had taken the spell away.
They were now in a single line, waiting for Professor McGonagall to call out the first year's names. "When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted," she said.
"Abbott, Hannah!"
A pink-faced girl with blonde pigtails stumbled out of line, put on thehat, which fell right down over her eyes, and sat down. A moments pause.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" shouted the hat.
The table on the right cheered and clapped as Hannah went to sit down atthe Hufflepuff table. The ghost of the Fat Friar waved merrily at her.
"Bones, Susan!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!" shouted the hat again, and Susan scuttled off to sit next to Hannah.
"Boot, Terry!""RAVENCLAW!"
The table second from the left clapped this time; several Ravenclaws stood up to shake hands with Terry as he joined them.
"Brocklehurst, Mandy" went to Ravenclaw too, but "Brown, Lavender" became the first new Gryffindor, and the table on the far left exploded with cheers.
A few more names were called until McGonagall shouted, "Granger, Hermione!" The Triplets noted down that was the bushy haired girl that was with Potter. Hermione almost ran to the stool and jammed the hat eagerly on her head.
"GRYFFINDOR!" shouted the hat. The Black's (although unknown to Artemis) groaned.
"Lupin-Black, Artemis!" was called after a few more names. She straightened her robes, held her head high and walked up to the stool and sat down.
"GRYFFINDOR!" was shouted nearly instantly. The Triplets and the Weasley Twins clapped the hardest and gave her the biggest and brightest smiles. She sat down on one of the ends, Potter and her friends were going to sit next to her, both of the Weasley Twins sat next to her. One on each side.
After Blaze Zabini was placed in Slytherin, the Triplets were still left. McGonagall looked at the list of names and then quickly gave it to Dumbledore. He took a good look at the list and glanced at the three un-sorted children. He stood up, gaining silence.
"My dears, why does the list not show your surnames?" he asked them.
Wanda covered Pietro's mouth with her hand, knowing that Hadrian was the best person to do the talking. "Well you see, Mr Dumbledore-"
"It's Professor, we are teachers after all," the old man interrupted Hadrian.
"I've checked all the staff member's files and none of you have a single PhD, meaning that you really don't have that title. And I'd rather you not interrupt me while I am answering a question that you have asked us yourself,"
Everyone was amazed at how he spoke. He spoke like a true pureblood and his voice was cold and hard. Plus, he had the guts to talk to the best wizard of all times, leader of the light, Albus-Too-Many-Middlenames-Dumbledore!
"What do you mean, our files?"
The Triplets rolled their eyes at the same time (although you wouldn't be able to see Hades' eyes roll as he still had his glasses on, he had left his walking stick in his pocket as he didn't want to draw un-wanted attention).
"Do you really think my brother, my sister and I would have come here without knowing about the teachers? You really take us by fools then, and our family wouldn't be happy about that, espacially some of our uncles and our mother. Plus, we didn't really like some of the staff members, but oh well. As I was trying to explain, we chose to keep our surnames hidden for 'The Greater Good' as you call it, imagine all the chaos it would unleash! It would be quite amusing but father wouldn't approve. Now you have your answer, could we please finish the sorting, it's getting quite late and I don't fancy having to shorten my sleep schedule."
And that was the first time that Albus Dumbledore was left speechless. So McGonagall called his name out. Hadrian had his head held high and walked up confidently. He (just as the way he spoke) was perfect for a pureblood, any pureblood parents would have wished of having a child that showed themselves in such a perfect way.
ºI trust that you can't say anything about what you see in our minds, am I right?º
ºYou are correct Mr Romanoff-Blackº
Hadrian then let his occlumence shields down and the hat explore his mind.
ºYou are loyal just as a Hufflepuffº
ºIf you dare put me there I'll have some of my family members make you regret that choiceº
ºYou also have many Slytherin traits, I seeº
ºAs much as I would like that, I've got a plan and I can't be placed there for it, plus, my siblings and cousin wouldn't be with meº
ºThe Ravenclaw's would be proud to have you with themº
ºThey would also be jealous of my knowledge and annoy me about it all the timeº
ºThere's only Gryffindor left Mr Romanoff-Black, are you sure you want to be placed there? They are very loud and throw many partiesº
ºWho said I wasn't the party type? Plus, me and my siblings are practicaly heroes and all our family tooº
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Hadrian smirked internaly, his mask still in place. He made is way to the lion's table and sat in front of Artemis. Pietro was called up next, he walked up with a bounce on his step.
ºYou are very different but similar to your brother, Mr Romanoff-Black. He's more cold while you're more warm-hearted but you both enjoy the same activitiesº
ºHi! Do you know where to sort me? I would like Gryffindor, my brother and cousin are thereº
ºHufflepuff would do you good, but you have other traits that are more, how should I say it? More... visibleº
ºAnd which ones would those be?º
ºYou have very stupid bravery...º
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Pietro ran to said table and squeezed his brother in a very tight hug. He then sat in front of George (or was it Fred?). When Wanda walked up, she kept a straight face, but her SM (scarlet magic, the one given to her by HYDRA) was floating around her. Hadrian rushed to her side, whispered something in her ear and the SM had disappeared.
Dumbledore looked at the girl with curiosity, he needed Petal Potter to be-friend that girl. The girl had so much power, a different one, but it felt so strong.
ºAh, Miss Romanoff-Blackº
ºHello? Who are you?º
ºI'm the Sorting Hat, I need you to let me into your mind to sort you, pleaseº
ºDone, where are you going to sort me?º
ºYou would fit in Slytherin, but they would be greedy of your power and try to be-friend you because of itº
ºI don't want that!º
ºYou could be in Ravenclaw, your curiosity is ver big, but just like with your brother, they would be jealous of your knowledgeº
ºYou're talking about Hades. Where if not?º
ºHufflepuff could do as you've got loyalty, but you're as fierce as a lionessº
ºSo I'm a Gryffindor?º
ºAnd I don't want your brother to send me to your familyº
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Wanda sighed and gave the Hat back to Ms McGonagall. She walked to her new house and looked at Hadrian with a glare look as she sat in front of Fred (or was it George?).
"Why are you looking at me like that?!" the oldest boy shrinked slightly under her look.
"Did you threaten the Hat with sending it to our family if he placed us in Hufflepuff? What's wrong with Hufflepuff?!" she fired the question at him. The Twins, Artemis and Pietro looked at him with wide eyes and a hanging open mouth.
"I didn't threaten it, I only gave it a warning. Plus, I only said if it placed me in that house, not any of you!"
