When everyone reached the entrance of the Castle, Lucas saw an elderly woman. She was wearing a dark green robe with a pointed witch hat and oval glasses. She had a motherly kind smile on her face which made people feel closer to her but also had an attitude of strictness surrounding her.
"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts." Then she went ahead and explained about various houses followed by explaining about house points and how they work. After she finished her briefing everyone followed her and entered the Great Hall. Entering the Great Hall, Everyone saw four long dining tables and a raised platform at the very end.
Some of the first years looked up and saw what seemed like a perfect
Replica of the sky outside. Hermione being the know-it-all that she was currently, explained about it being a charm and that she read it in a book. Lucas on the other hand was sizing up an old man with a long white beard who was dressed well… very flamboyantly. He discretely used appraisal trying not to maintain eye contact. He looked at the appraisal results and it was as he had expected.

It was also as he had expected. Then, he looked at Quirrell…

Lucas was quite surprised this time. The reason was not that Tom was too strong but because Quirrell was too strong. He was supposed to be the first boss! Looking at Quirrel's status for a moment longer he shifted his focus to Harry who was walking at the front and asked the system,
"System, can you analyze the protection magic on Harry by Lily Potter?"
"Yes."

___
Lucas was quite surprised looking at the effectiveness of the magic. While he was again in a subconscious thinking state, he heard a voice from the stage that snapped him out.
"Lucas Malfoy!"
Lucas looked at the stage and saw Prof. McGonagall who had her gaze towards him. Lucas walked towards the stage while searching the crowd and his eyes almost turned red again. Why did his eyes turn red? Simple, he saw Ron still in the crowd, which meant he can screw up with the placement of the hat. When he was in front of the three-legged chair and the dirty sorting hat, he took out his wand and pointed it towards the Sorting Hat and chanted a spell which was only to put up a show. Prof. McGonagall who was surprised by his actions lifted the hat and put it on Lucas's head not realizing that the hat looked a bit different. The hat took a moment and shouted "Slytherin." All the Slytherine's in the great hall applauded, Lucas who had just stood up went towards the Slytherin's table and sat down. After a few people got sorted, it was finally Ron's turn. Lucas had an evil smile on his face when he saw that. Lucas had spent some SP to buy the thing required for this very event and it was,

Thus, Ron who was on the stage was sorted into…
"Hufflepuff." As the hat shouted that, Freed, George, and Ron looked confused while the Hufflepuff's table cheered. Lucas who saw that from the side had an even wider smile.
