Male Member of Hogwarts Legacy

"If you'll follow me, Mr. Cole!" said the older lady standing in front of him on the bridge. Behind her loomed the massive Hogwarts he had heard so much about. Mr. Figs had informed him of the invitation to Hogwarts and had just appeared at the gates of Hogwarts with his protégé after the dragon had turned their carriage into rubble. The older gentleman seemed to know the woman before him as the two nodded to each other in a friendly but somewhat reserved manner.

"Of course, Mrs. Weasley." Jason Cole said politely and followed her across the bridge. The castle was even more impressive than he had imagined. Hogwarts may not have been the greatest wizarding school in the world, but it was still one of the most impressive. A place of ancient magic, built directly on a spring and supposedly even the great Merlin himself had been a student here.

As they walked across the bridge, however, Jason noticed that he could see shadowy hauntings everywhere, which the others probably didn't notice. It was as if certain places had a glimmer, or an aura. He had already recognized this with the dragon and also with the secret role which had led them into the ruins. Mr. Figs had advised him not to talk about such things, and so he followed his mentor's advice for the time being.

It was rare enough that he had been transferred directly to Hogwarts at his ripe old age, so he didn't want to make a grand entrance on his first day as well.

"You're late, young man. The recording is almost complete. It's time you were assigned to a house." Said the woman sternly, and with a wave of her wand opened the double wooden door in front of her. Behind it was a huge room in which the students were waiting. At the end of the room the professors were already waiting and looked impatient. The eyes of the older students were directed at the newcomer and the whispering began immediately. Jason knew that he looked good and that he would be the talk of the school. So far, only 3 students before him had been moved directly into the 5th grade. So, it was something out of the ordinary.

Then, as he took his seat in the chair and the talking hat rested on his head, he squinted up curiously in anticipation.

"Mhm... yes ... I sense a great gift! And a secret! A great secret. Yes, yes. I see power and ambition. The will to achieve everything he sets his mind to. I see an ... interesting destiny... mhmm and something I can't see. Deeply hidden... yet my decision is clear! He belongs to House Slytherin."

Immediately, the students of Slytherin House erupted in cheers, but the other students also congratulated the new member.

Grinning, Jason rose and went to his new companions and gratefully accepted the coat of the house, which he immediately put on. He was patted on the back from all sides and many students congratulated him. One young, good-looking redhead in particular caught his eye. When she came up to congratulate him, he unconsciously hissed something. It was hard to understand and sounded strongly like a snake, but it was so loud that none of the others noticed it.

But he saw it. Around the head of the young redhead appeared briefly this mystical glimmer that only he could see and wandered into her eyes. For a second, they shimmered in the same color and when she offered him her hand, she looked at him almost submissively.
