Chapter 20: Judging
The old witch was alarmed at first, she even took out her wand and was ready to attack if anything were to go wrong. But then after a careful thought, she realized that this entity wasn't really a demon like he said he was. Why? First, a twenty thousand years old demon wouldn't necessarily uttered sentences in English. Second, a demon cannot easily appear in the mortal realm, not to mention here in Hogwarts. If there were really a demon sealed here, the four founder of Hogwarts would probably be the first one to notice. Why would those four powerful beings allowed a demon, albeit a sealed demon to exist in a school they created. Third, although this person is covered with flames, the one beside him was clearly a house elf. A being such a demon wouldn't need a servant like a house elf, there are probably other beings who would kill to take that place. Besides, why would a sealed demon kept a house elf with him during his imprisonment? A demon was sealed for twenty thousand years kept a house elf? Doesn't that mean if this is really the case, that house elf would be at least twenty thousand years old too? This was so absurd that the old witch began to give a weird glance to the person in front of her. She realized earlier tha she herself was fooled too because how fast this person appeared.
"Hi, I am Jake" Noticing her glance, Jake disperse the flames that covered his body and politely greeted her as if the earliest prank never happened.
"It would have been a spectacular event if I made wings, tails and horn. Sigh... my creativity is indeed too low" Jake thought to himself.
The both of them then took a quick glances toward the first year students. There are a lot of reactions among the students. There are those who gave a blank look as if they lost their soul, those who fainted, those who kept mumbling "Mom..Mom..Mom" and there were even those who didn't really understand what happened as if they don't really know what the word 'Demon Lord' means.
"ehhmmm.. Did I go too far?" asked Jake embarrassed.
"You indeed did Jake. And why did you appear here? Didn't the headmaster go to Diagon Alley to see you yesterday?" Asked the old witch sternly.
"Ehmmm... things happened... let me handle this first" Jaked was rather embarrassed with yesterday's event. He did not really search for information first before taking actions. So he decided to shift the topic by mentioning the students who currently lost their souls in various ways and shapes.
Jake hand began to emit a green glow. This one of the nature elements techniques. Although Jake wasn't really an expert in the field of Healing techniques, he still able to performed some of them.
This technique used by Jake gave a soothing feelings, warmth, a low level soul and physical healings and mana recovery. This is an all-encompassing low level technique Jake came up with during his experiment with mana.
The first year students began to slowly calm down and wake up from their state of trance or in this case the state of losing their soul.
"What was that?"
"There seemed to be a fiery demon appeared just now, where did it go?"
"Ughh… my head hurts"
"Mom… what just happened?"
"Look!!" a kid finally noticed Jake and soon all of the first year student looked at Jake and his house elf Cobold.
"Ehmmm... My technique worked right?" Asked Jake with a sheepish laugh.
"It would work better if you did not do that in the first place" Replied the old witch.
"This old lady sure has a very strong sarcastic spell imbued wither her" thought Jake to himself.
The first year was astonished. Some of them began to realize that the demon they saw earlier was just a prank done by this person. Some of them soon cursed Jake in their mind for what he did to them. Who in their right mind would prank a group of eleven years old till some of them fainted? This person is surely the embodiment of cruelty. But some did not really think so. Especially the girls, they were awed by this person. Why in the world would there be a man that is even more beautiful than a woman?
"Came on now. Follow me inside. You too Jake" Said the old witch.
Jake and the first year students then followed the old witch inside. Upon arriving inside the hall, Jake saw that there were a lot more kids. They were divided into four different rows.
"Probably to represent four different houses" Jake thought.
In the front, a group of adult wizards and witches can be seen.
"They must be the teacher" Jake mused then his eyes began to glow, not as bright as the full fiery eyes he used during his tribulation. He used another eye technique to observe his surroundings, after all he did not need the strong properties of the Fiery Eyes to observe a group of teachers and students.
"Ughh… The teachers are sure unique. There are a small one, a huge one and him. What's wrong with him? His face is screaming 'World!!! Please notice me. I am a true follower of the Dark Side'. Is he using that expression all the time? The super Villain in my previous world had a saying about this, 'What a noob'. He is not qualified to be certified villain" Jake judged the mean looking teacher in the front who perpetually emitted a begrudging look, especially toward a student who wear glasses behind Jake. Then he shifted his gaze toward other teachers.
"hhmmm… that one is interesting. He clearly carried another soul within his body and a bloody nasty one at that. Is he a spy from the dark side? Or just a regular man who practices evil magic? But surely he is more qualified villain than the mean looking one. He carried a nasty looking soul with him but he clearly showed a weak appearance, now that is deception. Just like the headmaster, that old man. He is the 'Old Sly Fox' type. Look at that smile, a kind and amiable smile, who knows how many schemes he is currently brewing. Inviting me here is probably one of his scheme. Let's just take a look first before deciding anything. I have to be careful around him, moreover he has more mana compared to me."

Chapter 21: A Song
The students in the hall took a look at the newcomers. As soon as they saw the newcomers they saw something unusual. First, Professor McGonagall seemed unhappy about something. Second, some newcomers gave the same vibe as Professor McGonagall, but some of them seems to be enchanted about a person in front of them, especially the girls. Third, there is a House Elf that seems to be proud of something, he accompanied that person who is the focus of this unusual atmosphere.
Then the students in the hall began to observe that person. His eyes were wired to say the least. They were glowing, a soft glow that seemed to be capable of illuminating the darkness of one's soul. His hair, his long reddish black hair was like a waterfall, gently flowing downward and occasionally fluttered even though there were no wind flowing through this place. The way he walked, the world seemed to be moving with him when took a step and froze in ice when he stopped. His smile, the smile that seemed to be capable of enchanting even the most beautiful enchantress. His stature seemed to be capable of supporting the sky even when it falls. The way he presented himself was like an amazingly beautiful queen who gave a gentle and soft radiance and in the same time also gave a feeling of an embodiment of a strong and powerful dragon in a human form that is capable to startle even the Divine Beings. He was just like a deity who falls from the heaven itself.
This person was actually the center of the earliest weird atmosphere. Such and enchanting and majestic vibes accompanied by begrudging looks given by some newcomers and Professor McGonagall made this whole situation weird. Is this related to the earlier weird and loud laugh?
----
"Headmaster, the first year students have arrived. Ehhmmm… A guest has also arrived" even though the old witch was irritated by Jake's earlier prank, she maintained a neutral attitude. Although he looks just like other youngsters, how could she, a Deputy Headmistress didn't know yesterday's incident that shook the Wizarding Worlds? A youngster that literally fly across the continent and challenged the Dark Lord out in the open who also at the same time has an astonishing amount of magic, weird spells and powerful senses which he used to tell the difference between ordinary wizards and death eaters. These amazing points he had made her unable to treat him as a regular youngster. The headmaster even mentioned that this person probably had a totally different magical system than what the rest of the Wizarding World had. This means a lot because with a different magical system which is capable of producing this much power, this person had to be monitored, less he become another Dark Lord in the future, or to be exact the magical system he learned had to be monitored, because no one in thousands of years of magical development managed to create their own system other than the ancient warlock that even the oldest history books seldom mentioned. This means the youth is either a genius who manage to understand magic in more fundamental ways or a student of an ancient warlock who somehow managed to survive until today. Either way, the two possibilities are way too dangerous if left unchecked, because the last Dark Lord was a genius wizard who turn to the dark side and the era of ancient warlock was not really a peaceful era.
"Very well Professor McGonagall. Mr. Shura please take a seat beside me" The headmaster thanked the old witch and offered Jake a sit beside him to Jake as if he knew already that Jake was coming.
"Ok" said Jake Plainly. Jake sat beside the headmaster and Cobold followed Jake and finally stood behind Jake as if he was guarding his master from a potential enemy who wished to attack from behind. Just after Jake sat, he heard the most horrendous sounding song in his two lifetimes. It was sang by the hat.
"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 bowlers black,
Your top hats 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!"
"Ughhh… is it necessary?" Jake thought to himself. Then the headmaster gave his speech to the students.
"I have a few start-of-term notices. I wish to announce. The first years, please note… that the Dark Forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked me to remind you... that the third-floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you."
"Huh… aside from being sly. He has his way in term of giving threats to children" Jake thought, unaware that he himself gave more than what considered as a threat to the students earlier. He is oblivious to the fact that some newcomers gave him a begrudging looks, a weird glances from the teachers, some bewildered looks given by the older students and also enchanted expression from most of the female presents.
