Adrian put the card and ate his snacks. Then he took a nap, he don't know how much time passed. Hermione woke him up and said," I think we'll arrive soon. Change into robes ", Adrian nodded and looked at Hermione. He continued to stare at her making her uncomfortable.
Hermione asked," why are you looking at me like that? ", Adrian said," I need to change into robes ", Hermione asked," so? ", Adrian said," I can't change when you're here can I ? ", like a switch turned on, Hermione came to realisation and coughed in embarassment before leaving the cabin.
Adrian pulled the folds and changed into Hogwarts robes. As he opened the door, Hermione entered the cabin again. Adrian asked," where is the boy who lost his toad? Have you found the toad? " Hermione shook her head. Adrian sighed and summoned the toad.
Hermione looked dumbfounded and glared at him. But Adrian explained," just learned the spell while you're searching for the toad. Need some practice as sometimes summoning living things can be difficult ", Adrian turned to wrapper and turned it into a cage and threw the toad into it before handing it to Hermione who looked at him suspiciously.
Adrian wanted some peaceful time alone. So he sent her away, he can't say it directly to her face. Hermione just nodded. When they exit the train, she handed the toad to Neville. As Adrian felt the chill here, he immediately cast a thermal regulation spell. It'll maintain the optimum heat for the body for a few minutes from the amount of magic he used.
As they walked down the path following the half giant, they arrived at the pier. " Four each for a boat. Hold on tightly, it might be a little shaky ", as Adrian got into a boat. As Adian crossed the lake, he nodded looking at Hogwarts. ' not bad ', the view is very nice from the lake.
As they arrived at the other end and climbed the huge stairs, they came across a strong door. Hagrid knocked on the door thrice as it opened. He lead them all into the castle but as soon as Adrian entered the castle, his expresusin froze. There is a statue of Elios there. It's also very huge. There is a big name plate written below the statue. THE WIZARD OF TWILIGHT, ELIOS.
McGonagall is standing above the stairs beside the statue. She observed them before her eyes landed on Adrian just for a second. Dumbledore recognised similarities between Elios and Adrian. He felt maybe Adrian is a descendant of Elios.
McGonagall then started her instructions," welcome to Hogwarts. Before the start of feast, there is something you need to know. In Hogwarts, you'll be sorted into one of the four houses, Griffyndoor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. In your stay at Hogwarts, your house is like your family. Your triumphs earn house points while mischief and rule breaking will deduct them. At the end of each year, the house with most points get's the house cup ".
Well at least Neville will not longer disturb her speech. Adrian thought. " Now before the ceremony, I advise you all to tidy up yourselves. I'll back in a minute. Don't cause trouble while I'm away ", she walked away after that.
Draco suddenly broke the silence there," so it's true. What they said in the train, that Harry Potter really have come to Hogwarts. Hello, Harry Potter. I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy ".
Pfft.
The red haired kid beside Harry Potter held back his laughter. But a funny sound still escaped and the smug look on his face irritated Malfoy quite a bit. " Think My name's funny huh. No need to ask yours, red hair, and a hand me down robe. Your must be a Weasley ".
" Potter, you'll soon come to realise that some families are better than others. You ought not to make friends with the wrong sort. I'll help you with that ", Draco smugly stretched his hand but Harry Potter said," i think I can tell the wrong sort myself".
An awkward silence descended as Draco's hand stopped mid air. He is about get angry when McGonagall tapped him on shoulders. He shot a 'this isn't over yet' glare before walking to the other side of crowd once again.
As they entered the great hall, everyone's eyes are drawn to Adrian. Afterall he looks otherwrodly. Even the freshman flocked him long ago as soon as he exited the train. Especially girls, they're looking at him while surrounding him.
And to make things worse, there are some carvings on the walls with the image of Elios. Adrian groaned inwardly. ' what the hell have you done my idiotic disciples? ', as Adrian clenched his fists, he soon calmed down.
Hermione looked at him strangely, not only her but some others too. Because they found some similarities to him and the carvings of Elios appearance. McGonagall led them to the podium there. There is a dirty hat there. McGonagall announced," those who are called will put this hat on their heads and the sorting hat will sort you into your houses ".
Soon she started calling names. Hannah abbot, a shy girl with pony tails on her head staggerly entered the podium and she got sorted into Hufflepuff. Then it's the turn of suasn bones, the. Hermione Granger.
Then it's Draco Malfoy, then Ronald Weasley, then came the saviour, Harry Potter. Finally Adrian's name is called.
Adrian Wells.
As he climbed to the podium, he sat on the stool. As for the hat probing his mind, hmph, even my disciples can't do it, you an old hat try to pry my secrets. The hat only read few memories that Adrian projected. The hat jumped excitedly and announced," so it survived, his bloodline. The descendant of Twilight Wizard, on behalf of founders, I, who inherited their wisdom welcome you to Hogwarts ".
Adrian didn't even give it the memories but it senses the mana inside him that's very peculiar and unique. From the wisdom given by Rowena, it assumed Adrian as a descendant of Twilight Wizard Elios.
The hall fell into an eerie silence. The professors looked too shocked to respond while the students don't know what to say. The wizard of Twilight, a story that they heard while growing up, a story that ignited righteous fury in every little wizard, it's a legend that is been engraved into murals of history, a melody that passed from generation to generation whenever dark forces threatened the order of wizarding world.
Now they saw the legacy of that legend. A living descendant of him alive in front of them. Many thought since Twilight Wizard isn't married he has no descendants or bloodlines in this world. Now Adrian's appearance and his striking resemblance to Elios made them understand that the twilight still lives on in this world.
Hermione's eyes widened looking at Adrian. She turned her head to the sculpture of Elios and then to Adrian. She did it a few times," The resemblance. So he really is a descendant of Twilight Wizard ".
