Chapter 347: The Four Travelers
"Oh my... and who is this?" Skinny Harry glanced at the latest arrival with great interest.
"Another one? This is getting out of hand," Neville said.
"Mmm?... I wasn't told there would be other people here. And you lot don't look like dragon handlers to me," the young man in tight leather pants said to them.
"Who the hell are you?" Victoria Black furrowed her eyebrows. There was something about this newcomer that made her uneasy.
The young man's orange eyes met her green ones before he offered her a charming smile.
"Whoa, I haven't seen you before. You must be new at Hogwarts." He approached her, causing her to take a step back.
"I am Lord Hadrian Potter-Black, among many other titles. I'm also the heir of the Four Founder Houses and the creator of the Fifth Hogwarts House... it's a pleasure to meet you."
Victoria's expression softened.
"N-nice... to meet you."
He stepped closer, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"You know... after I deal with this test real quick, why don't you come with me? I have a massive private chamber in my own personal tower. We can get to know each other a bit better... what do you say?"
Victoria's eyes became glazed and lost their brightness for a moment.
"I... I..." She appeared to be in a trance, but then something snapped inside her, and her demeanor returned to normal. She clenched her fists and punched him hard enough to knock him onto his back.
"You bastard! You tried to charm me!"
"You're so annoying and conceited," Skinny Harry said, crossing his arms. His eyes trailed down from Hadrian's face, taking in his appearance. "You're so arrogant, and... hot."
Hadrian grinned. "I know."
"Ahem..." Neville cleared his throat. "If you can pay attention for one minute, I'll explain. I think it's best if I just say it directly...you've all traveled to a parallel universe without realizing it."
"Pardon?" Victoria raised an eyebrow.
"A parallel universe?"
"Care to explain a bit better?"
Neville pointed around.
"This isn't your original world. It may look similar, but if you take a closer look, you'll notice things are different."
"Now that you mention it..." Hadrian glanced toward the stands.
"My cheering squad was over there. Most of the members of my harem had come to watch me slay the dragon."
"Did he say harem?" both Skinny Harry and Tall Harry said at the same time.
"He's not wrong..." Victoria was scanning a different part of the stadium.
"I can't find my friends... nor Draco. Where are they?"
"Wait! I can't find my Draco either!" Skinny Harry was starting to panic.
"And I don't remember seeing that ugly woman at the judges' table either. Who is that? She looks like a toad. Or that tiny old man who keeps pointing at us," Tall Harry added. His gaze then shifted to where Ron and Seamus were sitting, and his expression darkened.
"Okay, I definitely believe you now... because the Ron Weasley I know is very much... dead."
"Good, now we can figure out how to get you back to where you came from. That being said, there's one more thing that worries me..." Neville looked around.
"Where are your dragons?"
