Many people wonder what the line is between a prank and outright bullying. I don't know why these people ask this, after all for me there is no clear difference, there is a limit. A prank is a physically harmless form of bullying whereas bullying has the specific purpose of hurting someone. So what's the difference between a bully and a comedian? The answer is that there is no difference.
A clear example of this would be the Snape-Potter case which basically shows the cruelty of the so-called most gentlemanly house. A pureblood bullied a half-blood new to the wizarding world just by being classified in a specific house? One classic. What is most surprising is that he still steals from the person the target is fond of. I'm not saying James Potter didn't love Lily Evans. I'm saying that his motivation in approaching her was definitely to hurt poor Severus even more.
Even saying that I still had a certain grudge against Severus Snape. After all, without him, Hestia wouldn't lose her mother and wouldn't suffer from the giant walrus. So... Snape was unfortunately or fortunately going to be the target of pranks again.
Now explaining what he would do and how great I am.
Does anyone here know how house elves came to exist? The commonly accepted theory is that they were artificial magical creatures created through alchemy and Elvish blood. The creatures then began to reproduce and the result was the natural development of a soul. Evolving over time until today we have the most pitiful slave race in history.
Why talk about it? See, I have the ability to create anything I understand with pure manna. So what if I knew how the blood of house elves worked? What if I altered the blood and edited the genes to create a new strain?
No, I didn't want to create a new homunculi race. But using this genetic sample... along with perhaps a carbonated version of the polyjuice potion? Maybe scattered throughout the castle?
Hehehe.
Just imagine all the humans in the castle magically transforming themselves into tiny blue elves... they would be like blue dwarf versions of Pandora's Na'Vi in the Avatar movie. Hehehe.
But I also needed to find a scapegoat. Two, actually. Sorry Weasley twins. Life will not be easy for you from now on.
After we got off the train I heard the voice of the good-natured giant and we headed towards him.
"First years. First years. Please accompany me." He guided us to the lake and ushered us into small wooden boats that smelled slightly rotten. Disgust shows in my expression and Hermione pats my head as if she comforts me. Which I was actually doing considering my disgust at rotten and aged things.
Another reason to criticize the bearded bastard.
After a few minutes sailing across the lake we arrived at the castle that would be mine there for most of the time in seven years and I felt suffocated. I didn't want to spend 7 years here in this place without being able to act freely. Simply not. Aaaah. Anyway, I think I'll need to release the frustration in my pranks and Weasleys.
We went up a flight of stairs to an oak door and the giant spoke, this time to Professor McGonnagall.
"The first years deputy director."
"Thank you Hagrid, I'll lead them from here," she said and released the man who made his way to what I believe is his place at the faculty table in the great hall. "Welcome to Hogwarts. The beginning of the term banquet will start soon, but before that we will have a selection ceremony that will decide their future houses. This ceremony is very important as it will decide what your house will be for the next 7 years. There are a total of 4 houses at Hogwarts representing the 4 founders of our school. The houses are Griffindor, HufflePuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house was responsible for guiding notable wizards. Also remember that by being ranked you represented your houses and your achievements will have points. Any rule breaking will deduct points. At the end of the school year, the home with the most points will win the home cup and become champion."
She said it like it was an absolute honor. I honestly didn't expect indoctrination to start even before dinner. Hell, I didn't even expect it would take us so long to get inside. I needed to be in the great hall to release my golems with the modified potion.
"Well follow me quickly." She said and the students followed. I noticed some things that had changed compared to the canon. Malfoy didn't try to get Hestia's attention like he did Harry and the idiot Weasley... Well he was still idiot except that he had apparently given up on hunting my wife. Or at least he put it off until dinner as it seemed his hunger needed to be announced to the world. The noise his stomach was making seemed to say they hadn't fed him in years.
well... if i remember wellHarry would have lined the idiot's stomach with dozens of sweets on the train. Well, not that he stopped the pig monster from trying to gobble up all the food on the Gryffindor table.
I tuned out the events around me by using occlumency to listen to music from my old world in 2021 and was busy humming "I gonna show you Crazy" by Bebe Hexha when Mione nudged me to alert the teacher's call.
"Castiel Lelouch Lestrange-Black Hass Cadre," she said, seeming to have repeated it more than once. I walked towards the bench where the hat was resting. He had already released the golems and they had already released the potion that unerringly spread through the air. I smiled gently.
"Nice to see you again Professor McGonnagall" I said as I stood in front of the mind reader artifact. There was a fanfic I read that basically exposed this fact, but considering that the principal has no ability to order the hat and he has no fears against it Professor McGonnagall however seemed to be wary of me after calling me in. Well nothing I can do about it considering who my mother was after all I sighed and stared at the artifact again.
"Hello sorting hat."
"Hello young wizard"
"Would you mind if I threw a scorgify on you? I honestly don't really want to put it in my head in the condition it's in."
"Oh, you are most welcome. I can't even remember the last time I was cleaned properly. I thank."
"Dispose" I said and performed the spell quickly before sitting down to let the hat touch my blond hair.
*Oh what an interesting mind we have here.*
*Selector hat I assume?*
*Yes, young mage. Your mind is one of the most amazing things I've seen.*
*Thanks for the compliment*
*Have it, but now I don't know where to put it. You are a magnificent wizard. Even more impressive than the current director... and his girlfriend's nemesis. I sincerely fear this world is not ready for you.*
I smiled mischievously.
*I feared the same*
"Hahahaha..." The hat chuckled loudly as it continued to consider. Still out loud. "Abundant courage, loyalty, intelligence and, above all, wisdom and ambition. A perfect wizard, if I say so myself…especially considering his heritage."
Okay. Now this... What does he mean by my inheritance? Everyone already knew about a new heir apparent to the Lestrange and Black houses. But none of these families were really worthy of being exalted by the sorting hat, right?
"Sorry, sir hat. But what are you talking about? I don't think the Black and Lestrange families are that important. I mean, notoriety is not really a very worthy feature."
I asked curious not caring that everyone around me was also paying attention.
"Oh, are you telling me you ignore your father's lineage, young wizard?"
Shit! How does he know this?
"I…this…" Damn. I didn't even tell Hermione about it. Shit. And he spoke out loud.
"Young Lord Cadre...or should I say...heir Ambrosius, even if he doesn't want his fate wouldn't leave him easily."
screw this. He told. Everyone in the room. I... was furious.
"Because?" I asked the question coldly.
"What you mean?"
"Why did you reveal this?" I sounded even colder. My magic was spread by this point.
"Your heritage cannot be concealed, young lord Ambrosius. This is the deal Lady Magic made with Lady Hogwarts.
Lady Hogwarts?
"Are you saying that the spiritual consciousness of this place allowed... or rather demanded that you reveal secrets of any Ambrosius heir?"
"That's the deal made by Heir Ambrosius" the hat said still loudly. Still allowing everyone to hear. "In exchange the school now gives you control over the Wards and unrestricted access to all of the premises."
"Is this some kind of joke? I wouldn't need permission when I can just use my bloodline skills for that!" I sounded indignant this time.
"Lady Magic left a message if she wasn't happy with the deals made.
Now that made me curious. One of the 3 strongest gods in this world left me a message. I thought about what it could be.
"What message?"
"When you see him next time say you were the aftermath of my anger at not visiting"
BAKACHICHIUE!!!!!!!!
