Chapter 142 - Sorting and small changes (1/2)
They were staring at him again.
He had planned to show his face in important occasions which was why he now sitting beside Penelope during the sorting but because of his presence, the students were paying less attention to the sorting and more attention to him.
The girls were looking at him with dėsɨrė. In fact, he could almost see the predatory gleam in the eyes of the older girls.
The boys on the other hand were looking at him with envy and jealousy.
They were of of course trying to hide such looks whenever he looked their way but they were doing a really piss poor job of it.
He wondered if he'll ever gain immunity to such looks.
How the hell did the superstars in the non magical world dealt with so much attention.
Come to think of it, Steve was a kind of celebrity in his company as well. Maybe he should ask the man for some advice the next time they talk.
Penelope squeezed his hand to show her support and he sent a small nod toward her.
”Ginerva Weasley.” Minerva called out and a small red haired girl who had been constantly staring at him came out of her trance and walked toward the stool quickly in order to hide embarrassment.
Ginny. The girl who married Harry Potter after they graduated from the school.
He could never understand what the original Harry saw in her.
Sure she was cute and all but the whole fuċkɨnġ school was filled wth cute girls.
There were a lot of girls who were looked over in the movie who were as beautiful as the grown Hermione Granger in the movie.
So why the hell did he fell in love with her.
He turned to eyes and looked in the direction of the girl with the Chinese descent who was looking at him with googly eyes until she realized that she had been caught and blushed hard before averting her gaze.
Well, that was fuċkɨnġ weird.
And why the hell is the hat taking so much time with these kids. Couldn't it do it's job more quickly.
In order to not catch someone else making googly eyes at him, he concentrated on the sorting hat instead.
The sorting hat took a considerable long time talking with the red haired girl.
He had of course not forgotten to find her at some later date to check if she still had the diary or not.
He knew that his presence had changed a lot of things in this world so Lucius Malfoy might not have confronted Arthur Weasley in Florish & Botts which would mean that Lucius gave the diary to some other poor kid.
If that is the case then he would have to rely on Selena to find the dark object or wait for the possessed student in the chamber of Secrets.
He would probably have to set a trap if that was the case.
As his eyes were focused on the hat the whole time, he saw the moment the hat finally opened it's mouth and shouted
”Ravenclaw.”
”Oh…”
”Is something wrong?” Penelope asked softly from the side as she and the rest of the table clapped for the girl.
He came out of his shock and shook his head before he started clapping for the girl as well who jumped in joy before she came and almost sat in the empty chair beside him when their eyes met and she froze in her place and her whole face turned red and she dropped the chair back on the ground and ran to their other side of the table and sat with some other 1st year Ravenclaw.
He wondered if she was really this shy in the movies and remembered the scene when she and Harry met for the first time.
Yup, she had bolted out of the kitchen that time as well.
He turned to gaze at Penelope who was trying to hide her amusement at the situation.
He gave her a mock glare and her amusement only increased even further until she had to put a hand on her face in order to stop herself from bursting out in laughter.
He rolled his eyes and went back to focusing on the hat which sorted a few more 1st years until it came to another interesting character that he knew from the movies.
