NOVEL NEXT Chapter 10: sorting ceremony
The train stopped in hogsmeade and the first years took boat to arrive to the castle. The view is amazing and Thomas took a photo with the phone like device he has. This is made with the reference of the computers in muggle world. As Thomas and other first years arrived they saw the ghosts and entered the great hall.
In the great hall as usual the night sky is displayed with candles floating in air. In the staff table in addition the professors some more are there. They're wearing sorcerer robes of kamar-taj and chatting with other professors with a smile.
In an empty looking seat though, Thomas found the ancient one. Dumbledore looked towards the seat and then turned to first years. Meanwhile Thomas who now has the power of Nabu can also see through them. He saw ancient one in the professor table calmly.
Ancient one is also observing every single child that appeared. As soon as she saw him, her lips curled up and she covered half of her face with the fan she usually carries. Her eyes though tells all the thoughts in her mind now,' found you ',' enemy spotted '.
While ancient one thinks he found a reliable sorcerer supreme, Thomas threw her name into the enemy list. No way, this woman is troubled and when he say trouble he meant the real trouble. She will just speak mysteriously and her mess, well it's a lot. In a way she is can bring a lot of trouble.
Dumbledore looked seemed notice something too. He looked at ancient one again and then searched the first years with his gaze to see who is the target? His eyes though landed on Thomas who is looking at the empty seat with serious look. That's where ancient one is at.
' so this is the boy who caught her eye. What's his name again? Flitwick bragged so much about the family having a high reputation in muggle world. Stand? No it's stank? No, no it must be stark ', his thoughts drifted a little. But he is pulled out when McGonagall started calling the names of freshman.
Thomas eyes never left the ancient one as she is also looking at him with a smile behind her fan. It seems she can retire early but she don't know this guy is going to bring so many headaches to her in future. Thomas name is called at this time. As he put on the hat, it jumped and yelled," hey are you really a kid? what kind of monster are you? What is this ridiculous amount of mana? Even Dumbledore didn't have this much in his prime. Are you a Reincarnation of some ancient wizard? ".
Ancient one smile broadened even more as she started to sway the fan. Dumbledore is stunned as did so everyone in the great hall. Especially Hermione, she is with Thomas all day. Thomas sighed, what can he say? He received the 10% strength that Nabu has. But as the lord of order and one who can cross dimensions, manipulate reality, time, and matter to some extent, it's really a large proportion. In fact Dumbledore in terms of magic pales in comparison to Thomas.
Thomas after completely assimilating Nabu's tebate can get a single universe growing inside him. This is why ancient one is also anxious to find him the moment she sensed his arrival. She sensed the power of order. A being who is related to the order can be a great help for her.
The sorting hat said," scary, this kid is scary. Albus, send him to those sorcerers. This kid in Hogwarts is just a disaster. Send him away ", Thomas deadpanned. That's too much, too much. Thomas grabbed the hat and said," hey if you don't want me to throw you into that river quickly send me to Ravenclaw".
The hat shivered and said," Ravenclaw. Kid get me off you ", Thomas snorted and said took the hat off his head. He is going to the Ravenclaw table, as Thomas walked to the Ravenclaw table some older students asked him," hey what did you do to make the sorting hat react like that? ".
Thomas looked at him and said," I did nothing. I just threatened the sorting hat that's all. if the sorting hat doesn't sort me into Ravenclaw I threatened it to throw it into the river ".
