Chapter 11: Of course this sh*t would happen.

After the Hogwarts Express left the station, Hermione and I stayed in one of the compartments and started to talk about the Hogwarts curriculum…. Well, she talked and just commented from time to time to complement some of the things she said. She is brilliant indeed the classes haven't started yet but she gets most of the things that we should see in the first month, I cannot fathom the idea of how someone like her ended with Ron… Speaking of him, he is one of the reasons that I didn't go to find Harry.

And no, is not that I want to court Hermione or some shit like that. Even if I plan to be Harry's friend and help him, I don't believe I will be sorted in Gryffindor with a personality like mine, furthermore with the boring god of this world my chances are almost zero. So even if I don't like his character from the book and the movies, this is the real world so maybe he won't be as idiot as he was there.

As I was in my inner monologue a kid knocked on the door of the compartment.

"E-excuse me, h-have you seen a frog? His name is Trevor." A nervous boy asked without making eye contact, always looking at the floor.

I looked at the boy and tall wise he is on the short side, his face is rounded, and I would not call him fat, but he is not thin, maybe calling him chubby will be more accurate.

"Hey, there is no need to be nervous." I said trying to make the kid feel more comfortable. "The name is Yozora Hoshimura, and you are?" I asked the boy with a smile.

"N-Neville Longbottom" The now-know Neville said his name still stuttering.

'Well, I expected him to be blonde, but it seems like the people here appearance-wise are a combination of their description of the books and the actors that interpreted the character. Like Hermione, she doesn't have big front teeth, but her hair is a lot bushier compared with the one in the movie and other minor details, but he looks almost the same as the actor that played his character'

"I am Hermione Granger" She introduced herself "We have been all the time here, so we didn't see your frog, do you need help?"

"I-I do not dare to bother you with my p-problem," Neville said quite dejected.

"Mah, mah, Neville you don't have to be so polite with us, after all, we are the same age" I nonchalantly say to the boy. "Let's go to the prefect's cabin, maybe they know some spell to find Trevor."

"Brilliant, let's go maybe they can also answer some of my questions, let's go!" Hermione said cheerily.

We walked to the end of the train where the prefects are, but Neville walked behind us and for an unknown reason, he tried to avoid eye contact with me, I know Neville lacks confidence mostly because of the years that his grandmother undermined his merits because he wasn't as his father, but the way he does it seems quite unnatural. 'Weird' I thought to myself.

"Hermione it is me or he is trying to avoid my gaze?" I asked since she can give me her point of view.

She shrugs her shoulders. "Maybe he is shy… or maybe he fears your eyes? Professor McGonagall said that even in the Wizardry Community eyes like yours are rare."

I nodded at her words but something feels… off.

{Gramps, is there any leak on my presence or magic energy that could scare Neville?}

{No, in all this time you had managed to do quite a good job, even Miss McGonagall is yet to realize something}

I internally sighed, I know that maybe I am being paranoid after all in his first years at Hogwarts he acted like he was scared of his own shadow.

I leave those thoughts in the back of my head but not without making a mental memo to check it later. In no time we arrived at the prefect's cabin and just at the entrance the is a blond-haired girl, she looks around 15 to 16 years old and I noticed that she was from Slytherin and had the prefect badge on her robes.

I decided to start the talk. "Excuse me, are you a prefect?"

She looked at us and slightly frowned. "I am, what do you want?" The girl in question asked rudely.

I decided to ignore that and ask anyway. "Neville here, lost his frog so we wanted some help to find it."

The Slytherin prefect looks at us, especially at Hermione and me. "I don't have time to help you to find a stupid toad, so get away from my sight!" The female prefect yelled with a little poison in her words.

I seriously could feel my left eye twitching. 'The audacity of this bitch!' but before I could say anything Hermione spoke.

"But you are a prefect; it is your duty to help students even if it is something that you do not want to do." Hermione says in an indignant tone.

The prefect in question partially closed her eyes and looked at us very annoyed. "Do not tell me what I should do!" The girl spat but it did not as simple as that. "Especially with someone of your…caste."

Hermione didn't exactly understand the meaning of her words but she knows that it is something insulting and Neville who fully understood the meaning behind her words flinched a little bit as for me….

"Disappointing utterly disappointing…"I said quietly but loud enough so she could hear.

"What did you say!!?" The Slytherin asked quite furious.

I smiled cheekily "You hear me clearly." I stated. "You are a prefect, someone who has been given the duty by the professors to help and guide the students no matter the year and house they are, but here you are, not only not doing your job, you also are showing an unbecoming demeanor in front of first-year students and you are using our origins as an excuse to mocking us something that I wish to remind you is forbidden by the Hogwarts a so-called prestigious institution and if this is the best that the student body has to offer is nothing but disappointing."

Silence…

Absolute silence, I look at Hermione and she was pale maybe because of her fear of getting into problems with the authorities. Neville was… well Neville if he was sweating before know the boy could fill a river only with his sweat as for the Slytherin prefect…

"How dare you!" Her face was full of rage at me but what surprised me is that she took her wand from her robes and pointed it at my face.

"I should not have expected less from some filthy mudblood as you, but it seems that someone needs to teach you your place." The female prefect said with smugness on her face.

Now Neville looked as if he would faint at any given moment and Hermione was perplexed that a prefect would do such a rash thing. As for me….

"Hahaha" I tried to hold my laugh, but I couldn't resist.

This obviously just made her angrier. "Do you think that this is funny!"

"Pretty much, I mean what sane people would do such a thing as pointing her wand in front of the prefect's cabin even if it is one of them, furthermore you just talked like a stupid antagonist of a Xianxia novel hahaha" I knew that this day would come but I didn't expect it so early.

"You damn.." She tried to say something more, but someone interrupted her.

"What is going on." A red-haired prefect y said looking at us.

The Slytherin prefect quickly hid her wand and now her previously enraged face looked pale since she knew that if she was found out pointing her wand to another student and a first-year student on top of that. I smiled smugly at her.

"Nothing at all, she was just leaving, isn't it?" I said smiling at the Slytherin prefect.

She looked more pissed since I was saving her ass but, in the end, she swallowed her pride and left the place without saying anything but not before giving me a murderous look.

After that, I asked the prefect that obviously was Percy Weasley to help us find Trevor and while he had a stoic face I knew that he was like that and did a summoning charm and in no time the frog was in front of us. Hermione asked some questions that were not in the books he answered all of them to the best of his capabilities feeling a little proud of himself and boasting a little bit about Gryffindor's house. After a little bit, we left but not before thanking Percy and he asked us to not get in trouble even before starting the year.

We left the cabin in silence Hermione and Neville didn't know what to say to me and I just went with the flow but after we were far from there Hermione stopped and looked at me quite angrily.

"You bloody idiot!" Hermione almost screamed. "What you did was the epitome of stupidity, how could you do something so foolish!"

I was expecting something like that, so I didn't panic. "Come on, it was not that bad."

I can swear that I saw Hermione's eye twitching. "Not that bad? She could harm you or worse get you expelled!"

I chuckled a little bit, oh yeah Hermione and her priorities. "But in the end, everything worked so there is no problem." I said not caring about the Slytherin bitch.

Hermione just sighed since she knew that she could not win against my bullshit. "Just don't do that again." She muttered in exasperation.

"No promise~" I said playfully "Anyways let's search for Harry I want to talk a little bit with him before reaching the castle, do you want to come with us Neville?" I asked the boy since I didn't want to impose on him.

Neville still looked nervous around me but after what happened with the Slytherin prefect he looks a little bit less than before. Quite ironic if I have to say, maybe because I didn't use violence even if she wanted to do something to me and gave him the idea that I am not a violent person…

"Sure, it would be nice to know more people…."

"Excellent let's go!" I said trying to cheer the boy…without succeeding.

Since we didn't know where Harry's cabin was, we looked in many random cabins and I saw a lot of familiar faces like Cedric Digory, Angelina Jones, Cho Chang, Seamus Finnegan, Blaise Zabini, and possibly others but I could not recall all the faces since they are not exactly the same I knew and finally, we arrived our destination.

Inside the cabin, there were two boys one who was Harry and the other one a red-headed boy sitting wearing second-hand clothes sitting with a rat on his lap while seemingly trying to make some spell. I looked at the rat and started to think about what to do about the idiot.

Hermione looked like she wanted to say hi to Harry but looking at the boy that is about to do magic her inner geek took the best of her. "Oh, you are doing magic, let's see."

Harry smiled at us, but the red-headed boy looked a little bit confused but shrugged it and raised his wand, and cleared his throat. "Sunshine, daises, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow." The boy cast and pointed his wand at the rat, the rat in question shinned a little bit but unfortunately for the boy it did not work.

"Well is not very good isn't it?" Hermione said a little bit…sassy? I need to talk with her about her PR. "Harry good to see you… what happened to your glasses?" Hermione left her sassy attitude and got worried about the boy, maybe her parents explained a little bit about why he acted like he did last time in Diagon Alley.

Harry tried to say something but before he could Hermione got in front of him and pointed her wand at him. "Oculus reparo." Hermione chanted and Harry's glasses were as good as new.

The boy took off his glasses and looked amused at them. "Thank you, Hermione." The boy smiled at the girl. "And Dudley step on them… again," Harry said mildly annoyed.

I sighed at his words, seriously even with Hagrid making clear that Harry is being backed by the Wizard community they have the stupidity to still treat him like that. I wanted to talk about this but it would be rash of my part to talk about Harry's livelihood in front of people without his permission.

"Hi, Harry good to see you again" I greeted the boy and tried to change the subject. "Are you excited about finally going to Hogwarts? Oh by the way this guy is Neville Longbottom he is a little shy so treat him well."

Neville's eyes widened. "By Merlin's beard, you are Harry Potter!" Neville for the first time spoke in a loud voice. "It is an honor to meet you."

Harry smiled politely at the boy somewhat used to this situation from his experience in Diagon Alley. "It is nice to meet you, Neville, you don't need to speak politely to me, just talk to me like Yozora does."

Neville smiled at Harry's words "Okay Harry" Then he looked at the red-haired boy as if he seemed familiar. I knew the boy's name but it would be weird to just say his name when I never meet him before.

"And you are…?" Hermione asked the question that Neville wanted to make.

"Ron Weasley." The boy answered with his mouth fully stuffed with confectionaries.

"Pleasure, I am Hermione Granger by the way," Hermione said somewhat disgusted at the boy speaking with his mouth full.

After that we talked about many things about the magical world, Hermione was eager about this and had a lot of questions for the boys who lived in this world, Harry also seems more confident than before so maybe the last time I saw him was just in an emotional rollercoaster or maybe he is just happy that he will be far away from the Dudley's. Ron was still eating the candies and Neville was getting used to us.

"So do anyone know how is the house sorting?" Hermione asks.

"My brothers told me that we need to face a troll in the sorting selection," Ron said an obvious lie that most likely Fred and George told him.

Neville looked terrified but he didn't realize that that was a lie to make fun of Ron and Harry didn't seem to believe it but Hermione…

"Gibberish, there is no way that Hogwarts would use such a barbaric way to select the house of the student body." The girl says bluntly.

"Agree, your brothers are making fun of you Ron," I said to the redhead. "I asked around, but nobody wanted to tell me so maybe is some sort of tradition to not talk about it to surprise the first-year students," I explained to everyone.

"But what are the houses anyway?" Harry asked.

"Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin," I said. "Each house has a meaning behind it, the Ravenclaw students are said to be the most brilliants in Hogwarts as well as having a thirst for knowledge, Hufflepuffs are said to be the most trusting and hardworking students but sadly they have the fame to be the least clever of all the students, Gryffindor is the place to allegedly find the most courageous and bravest students of all Hogwarts and finally Slytherin the house for the ambitious and shrewd, this usually is a good quality to have but…"

"They are a house of dark lords!" Ron said interrupting my explanation. "All evil wizards and witches are from that house, they are evil!"

"Gran told me the same" Interjected Neville, "She said that the is no good form associating with people from that house."

Hermione rolled her eyes at the boys. "Do you really think that there would be a house full of evil people in a school?" She asks with some mocking in her voice. "First of all there is no way that Hogwarts would allow this, and while I heard something similar about this I read that there were many great wizards that came from that house including Merlin."

"Hermione is right," I said agreeing with her. "There are bad people in all kinds of places and when in Slytherin there are unsavory people not all of them are evil people, and some of them I may say have a very bad hand in life."

"What do you mean?" Asked a confused Harry.

"As I said before even if I don't believe that all people in Slytherin are bad people, there are bad people and sons and daughters of them and because of a certain dark lord, many of the idiots there are blood supremacists so what do you think it would happen to someone with muggle parents ends up there?"

Harry smiled awry at the thought of that, I can see that he can relate with that as with the Dursleys, he was treated like a pariah there, and most likely that was the destiny of muggle-borns on Slytherin.

I look at the clock in the cabin and noticed that we were going to arrive soon. "Well, we can talk later but now we have to change." I stood from my seat and reached the door. "See you in the castle, by the way, Ron you have dirt in your nose," I said and pointed in my face the place.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shortly after we arrived at Hogsmeade station, I could have changed to my robes in Harry's cabin but I didn't want them to see my scars. In the beginning, even with Cú's knowledge, I was still a newbie with runecraft so my way of healing was sloppy, so even if I could fully heal myself it was not perfect so some scars remained, the ugliest by far is the one from the first time I lost an arm, by now maybe I could get rid of them, but I want to keep them as a reminder of what can happen in real combat. A childish reason if you want but a valid one from my point of view.

Hagrid was calling the first-year students by now and started to take us to the boats, a tradition of Hogwarts it seems. Besides the 5 of us, there was a boy that I couldn't recognize but he seems that didn't want to talk so we didn't bother him. On the ride to the castle, I could see some tentacles from time to time, and besides the unholy thoughts I didn't feel any danger from it, after all even Dumbledore would not have let the students ride a boat with a dangerous creature in the lake… if Harry was not in school.

And in minutes I can perfectly see the castle and I must say that the movies did not do it justice, the castle was many times more beautiful and bigger, if the castle was open to the public to regular people, they will think that this castle was the house of a king. While we arrived at the docks the most notable thing was the magic energy of the ambient, it was by far the place with the most concentration of magic energy where I had been, without a doubt the Lay Lines here are one of the biggest in the world.

Hagrid lead the way until the castle gates and after that McGonagall or as I should call her from now onwards Professor McGonagall guided us to the great hall and briefly explained the same thing as the books about the houses and losing points to the house if we break the rules or do misdeeds. And even if the House Cup doesn't give any real benefits to the students but it gives a sense of achievement and something to be 'proud' of but it also makes the student put social pressure on others if they lose points, a clever trick to make easier to control the students.

"It's true then.. what they're saying on the train." A blond boy with a sickled back hairstyle said in a petulant tone. "Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts."

Every one started murmuring while looking at Harry.

"This is Crab and Goyle." The kid said as he pointed to his sidekicks. "And I am Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."

It would have been a dramatic entrance…if Ron hadn't laughed at the kid's name.

Draco got annoyed and looked at the redhead boy. "Do you think my name is funny do you?" And looked quite smug. "There's no need to ask you yours, read head and hand me down robe." Draco said looking from head to toe at Ron.

"You must be a Weasley." He said with a lot of disdain.

Ron seems annoyed at Draco's words but just frowned.

Draco in another hand didn't give Ron a second look and turned in Harry's direction. "You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others Potter, you don't want to go making friends of the wrong sort." He briefly looked at Ron but after less than a second, he smiled at Harry and extended his hand. "I can help you there."

Harry only looked at Draco's hand for a moment and looked directly at Draco's eyes. "I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself thanks." Harry said blandly to the blond boy.

Draco wanted to say something but was interrupted by someone.

"Hahahaha" And by someone, I mean me. "Oh by the God killed by us, this can't be real hahaha, A young master in real life, say 'You are courting death' for me please." I thought that I was prepared for this, but I was undeniably wrong.

Everyone looked at me as if I was a madman.

"What an idiot," Hermione said while holding her glabella.

"Sorry, sorry but I couldn't help to laugh at this buffoon speech."

Again, Draco wanted to say something but once more he was interrupted but this time by Professor McGonagall. He just looked at me with his classic look of 'My father will hear about this.'

"We are ready for you now follow me." Professor McGonagall said and we followed her into the great hall.

Inside there were a lot of students sitting looking at us, wondering how many will join them in their houses.

"It's not real, the ceiling it's just bewitched to look like the night sky, I read it in Hogwarts History," Hermione said to a girl besides her.

Everyone was just bewildered at the sight of the great hall, but everyone broke from their trace after Professor McGonagall started to talk.

"When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the Sorting Hat on your head and you will be sorted into your houses." Professor McGonagall explained and started to look at the parchment in her hand.

"Granger Hermione."

And the girl in question started to have a little panic attack. "Oh no, be cool, relax," Hermione said to herself trying to calm herself as she walked into the front of the hall.

"Mental that one I'm telling you," Ron said to Harry and the boy didn't seem to like his comment but decided to keep silent.

As Hermione sit on the chair Professor McGonagall put the hat on her head.

For some minutes the hat didn't mutter a word and people started wondering what was happening since it was unusual for the hat to take this long but after 4 minutes passed the hat spoke "Ohh, right there…mmmm right okay mmm…. GRYFFINDOR!" The hat said out loud to the whole hall.

Everyone on Gryffindor's table stood up and started to clap and celebrate.

The girl in question looked a lot relieved and smiled as she started to walk to the table. Percy recognized Hermione and gave her a handshake.

'Good it seems that my presence here was not enough to cause a major butterfly effect on this, she is the brain of the trio so it would be difficult for them to survive without her.' I thought to myself and started to look to the next batch of students being selected.

When Malfoy's turn came up, Professor McGonagall didn't even need to put the hat on his head since the Hat sorted him on Slytherin in a moment. 'Well, the Hat takes into consideration the preferences of the student so it would not be that weird since in Malfoy's head the only possible choice is Slytherin.'

The sorting selection continued for a bit and heard some known names like Hannah Abbott, Susan Bones, Blase Zabini, Dean Thomas, Daphne Greengrass, and Justin Finch-Fletchley among others. When it was Ron's turn the Hat snorted at the presence of 'Another Weasley' and put him on Gryffindor.

And after some time, it came the turn of the boy of the moment, Harry's selection, and the whole hall became quiet. Harry looked somehow nervous because even if he got used a little bit to the steering it was the first time that many people looked at him at the same time. And like in the movies even with my talk about how not everyone in Slytherin was bad people he still muttered that he didn't want to be placed in that house, although this was not heard by anyone it was easy for me to hear with my enhanced ears.

And after a few moments of deliberation, the Hat gave its verdict. "GRYFFINDOR!!"

This time the whole Gryffindor table celebrated harder and louder than any of the previous times. This was understandable since it was THE Harry Potter in their eyes he was the boy-who-lived, the person that ended the era of a terrible dark lord, and one of the most famous people in the whole magical Britain.

Harry went directly toward Ron's side and everyone received him with a lot of joy, especially the whole Weasley family. He looked quite happy that many people received him with in such a way.

"Hoshimura Yozora." Professor McGonagall call out my name.

I just walked towards the Sorting Hat and seated on the chair, Professor McGonagall put the hat on my head and I eagerly waited for the hat to say something but nothing happened and after three whole minutes not a single word was mutter from the hat.

'Is this thing broken?' I ask to myself

'I assure you that I ain't broken Mr. Hoshimura.' The Sorting Hat finally said something.

'Oh, so you finally decided to say something, why it took you so long?" I asked the hat.

'Well, well aren't you an anxious boy? But telling the truth you are a difficult one like Miss Granger.'

'Difficult?'

'You see you qualify for the 4 houses since you have desirable qualities from all of them, so it is hard to put you in one…' The Hat explained.

'Huh?' I expressed since I believed that I would fit like any other reincarnator in Ravenclaw since I liked to hoard knowledge and while I understand that I have the other houses' qualities I didn't believe that it was enough.

'Even if you don't see it it's true, I see that you like to hoard for knowledge a common Ravenclaw trait but also are hardworking and loyal to the ones close to you like most of the Hufflepuff, you do not show fear at the adversity and show outstanding courage typical from Gryffindor but also you are ambitious.' The Hat gave me his reasoning.

Well since the hat can not give a direct answer I shall give my opinion, to keep an eye on Harry it would be wise to select Gryffindor but the problem is that I can cause a bigger butterfly effect on the 'plot', so the safest choices would be either Hufflepuffs or Ravenclaw. And as I was wondering what to choose I heard a bloody sound.

*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*

'Of course, this would happen I thought to myself ignoring the hat.

Mission: Slap the house of the young masters.

I just sighed at the god's quirky personality but I didn't complain since this mission was actually a good one since I would get things for something that maybe I would do in the future, so it is a win-win situation. But I remembered that I was still wearing the hat and got a little bit concerned about this.

'Hey Hat, can you hear all my thoughts?' I ask bluntly since I had no time to talk redundantly.

'No I cannot do that, while I can read some of your thoughts I mostly only feel your aspirations and feelings, that is how I choose in which house the students should be put on. So, fear not, I can't look at your memories.'

'Good, in that case, please put me on Slytherin.'

'Are you sure that is the house you want to expend all your seven years in?' The hat asked

'Yeah they would be excellent stepping stones for my future I said to the hat and smirked at the same time.

"Mmmm good in that case... SLYTHERIN" The hat yelled to the whole hall but this time instead of receiving claps and celebrating the whole Slytherin house was quiet except for Snape at the teacher's table that was clapping just for formalities.

I looked at Gryffindor's table and looked that Ron gave me a gaze as if I killed his rat…. That maybe was a possibility in the future but the boy seriously has anger problems towards Slytherin. Hermione smiled at me and was clapping although we are not from the same house and the same was with Harry.

'Good it seems that he is not biased for the moment I thought to myself since maybe he would get infected with some bullshit hate for me.

Professor McGonagall looked a little bit down, maybe because expected me to be at her house and when I looked at Dumbledore I ignored for the whole time, oh boy that was gold.

The on the outside looked like your gentle Grandpa, not like mine because he is awesome and kick asses, but you got the idea. But I could feel some magic distortions around him and while looking at him I started to see his deepest desires and most of them were disappointing, to say the least.

Some bullshit about having peace no matter what it cost, keeping the social order, and living a life with his Dark Lord boyfriend but I found that it was quite sad when he thought about her sister… but I am going to kick his ass no matter what.

I looked once again to the Slytherin table and some of them looked at me with disdain, others didn't care about me and Malfoy looked at me with a smirk as if he owned the place and I owed him money and the same was with the female prefect that I meet on the train. They surely were thinking of how to take an act of petty revenge against me but I didn't care.

I grinned thinking of the future. "This is going to be fun"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello everyone I hope you enjoyed the chapter.

First of all, I want to apologize for not uploading a chapter in the past couple of days, but a lot of things happened in my life this week, the most important one is that the daughter of my brother in everything but blood born a couple of days ago and I went to congratulate him and his girlfriend. But to make it up for you this chapter word count is 5433 words so is until know the longest chapter in the novel.

So this week I will try to keep the usual updating dates so you don't have to wait too long for the chapters.

Anyway so finally our MC is sorted in a house and the polemic Slytherin because of a mission. Some of you guessed right about this but failed about the reason. I want to remind you that the god of this world is a bored one so he wants mayhem and exciting things so he will give a mission with that kind of thinking.

So in the next chapter, we will use the MC's interactions with the other members of Slytherin and how it would end... besides the slapping of course.

Please comment if you liked the chapter and leave a review if you like this FF it would mean a lot to me.

Well guys with anything left to say, thank for reading and see you in the next chapter!

Next chapter
