Today was 1st of September and the first day of shool.

"Looky apparate me to King's Cross station" Orion ordered "Vlad look after the house".

"Sure thing master" Vlad said with a chocolate frog in his mouth. Orion really couldn't understand his obsession after sweets. Weren't Vampires supposed to drink blood? How did that turn into sweets? But nevermind...

Looky took his hand and apparated with a snip of his fingers. Orion again had the feeling of beeing thrown into a washing machine and then pulled through a thin tube. But the nausea is much better than the first time and he didn't immediately puked.

They appeared at the train station where a lot of people hurried to the plattform. "Have fun in Hogwarts young master" Looky said and dissapeared with a snip of her fingers. Seeing other wizards pulling their trolleys up the stairs, Orion was really grateful for the subspace ring his mother gave him. That way it's much more comfortable. Arriving at the wall between plattform 9 and 10 he also noticed a very eye-catching family of read heads. If the Weasleys are here, then the golden boy Harry Potter must also be here somewhere. But he honestly doesn't want to interact with them to not change the plot until the second year. After all he needed Harry Potter to deal with the basilisk. That beast is fucking scary and there's no way in hell he would fight something like that. Harry just did it because he is dumb, so he will just let him do that. To avoid accidentally making friends with Harry or worse, with Ron he just hurried and stepped through the wall. On the other side was a giant steam lockomotive and a with peoples bustling plattform. On a big sign on the wall it said: Plattform 9 3/4.

So he joined the stream of new studends and squezed into the train. He had luck and got an empty compartment where he took out a book and sat down. A few minutes later the train began to move and the scenery outside of the window changed from the London city to vast grasslands. After a while his compartment door burst open and a figure with styled blond hair stepped in. Orion cursed his luck. He wasn't even in Hogwarts yet but be already met the most famous troublemaker in the school...after the Weasley twins.

"Hello I am Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" the boy said with an arrogant voice. Seems like he had practiced this phrase a thousand times in front of the mirror.

"They are Crabbe and Goyle" he said and pointed to the boys on his side, accompanying him like bodyguards. Althrough he was arrogant Orion will still give him a chance.

"I'm Orion Le Fay pleased to meet you" he said in a neutral tone. Malfoy seemed to think about his name for a while.

"Your parents must be muggles then my father didn't mention your last name" Malfoy concluded ignorantly.

"A mudblood like you shouldn't have the right to enter Hogwarts, it's all because of Dumbledore " Draco cursed.

Orion just sighed. It seems like this guy needs a beating. Still he didn't want to get in trouble before even entering Hogwarts so he just said " Well if you are just here to curse about Muggleborns, why dont you do that somewhere else?". His meaning was clear, he wanted Draco and his goons to leave. If he still wouldn't listen, don't blame him for what happens next.

Draco's mind needed a moment to process his answer and when he understood his answer he immediately got angry. "You..." he said angrily and stormed at him with his fists.

Orion sent a light kick at his gut and send him flying out of the compartment. Crabbe and Goyle who wanted to join the fun a second ago were shocked and quickly retreated. Draco coughed and sharply inhaled the air as if his life depended on it. Crabbe and Goyle quickly picked him up and retreated. "My father will hear about this" Malfoy shouted at him but still retreated quickly. Having his peace and quiet he picked up his book again and began reading from where he left off.

A second later, a very clumsy boy came in.

He wasn't one of the main characters, but still played a role, Neville Longbottom.

"Woah that was awesome...hello I'm Neville" he introduced. He already wasn't on good terms with Malfoy and seeing him getting beat up was very satisfying. "Oh have you seen my toad? I lost it" Neville asked.

"What is the name of your toad?" Orion asked.

"Trevor..."Neville answered a bit confused why he would want to know that.

Orion just took out his wand and chanted "Accio Trevor" and a second later a toad came flying into his compartment.

Neville was overjoyed "Trevor!!!Thank you...I don't even know your name yet".

"Orion, nice to meet you Neville" he said.

"Ah I need to tell Hermoine that I found Trevor" he remembered and got out of his compartment seaching for the girl. A bit later the two came back and joined him inside his compartment. After the introductions the three quickly started a discussion on wich house they want to join.

"I want to join Griffindor, my whole family was in that house. I am just wondering if I have the traits to get into that house... I'm not exactly courageous and brave" Neville said.

" Well I hope, to also get sorted into Griffindor althrough Ravenclaw also wouldn't be so bad..." Hermoine said "Wich house do you want to get sorted into?".

"Oh I'm most likely to get sorted into Slytherin..." Orion said a bit hesistant. He knew of the enmity between Griffindor and Slytherin.

"What why would you want to join the house of dark wizards?" Neville asked.

"Well my character fits well to Slytherin. Ambitious and shrewd and it beeing the house of dark wizards is just because the dark lord was in that house when he was in Hogwarts. For example Merlin the Archmage also was in Slytherin. Slytherin's original purpose was just as noble as the other founders, it's reputation just took a hit because of he who must not be named" Orion tried to argue.

"Yes, but Slytherin was still against muggleborn wizards to attend Hogwarts. He is the pioneer of the modern pureblood supermancy" Hermoine retorted.

"Well if you look at the times a thousand years in the past, wiches and wizards were beeing hunted by muggles. At that time, purebloods were indeed more trustworthy..." Orion stated.

That immediately made Hermoine think about it and she stayed quiet for a long time. Outside of the windows it already showed a dark night sky with stars. "We should arrive in a while, we schould change into our Hogwarts robes" Orion reminded them.

After Hermoine chased them out to change it was their turn and soon they all wore the standard gray, black Hogwarts robes. With exeption of Orion who had faint beautiful patterns on his robe and his family crest on it.

Neville eyed him up and down "what is your full name?" he asked seeing the family crest.

"Orion Le Fay Pendragon" Orion said. There was no need to hide it as it would be revealed at the sorting anyways. But it was still a very ancient family and not many knew about it. Seeing Hermoine's and Neville's perplexed faces Orion just shook his head "nevermind".
