Hogwart Express and Mind Reading Hat

3 days have gone by too quick for Toshiro, if anyone were to ask. He may manage to read all the books, but reading and experiencing is two very different thing. It was something he seem to have forgotten.

On 1st of September, Toshiro could be found alone trying to figure out the most ridiculous train ticket. It was written platform 9 3/4, clearly there is no such platform.

He close his eyes and locate any reaitsu. Suddenly, he open is eye as he felt reaitsu from the pillar between platform 9 and 10. Just as he was about to get on…

"Hermione, are you sure that is what is written? I don't think there are such platform as platform 9 3/4" Said a man.

"But dad, that what is written. Maybe it is hidden?" Asked a girl with bushy hair

Toshiro saw that they have a similar problem which he glad solved and decided to help.

"Excuse me? Are you looking for platform 9 3/4?" Asked Toshiro

"Oh! What a polite young man. Yes, we are. Our daughter received an invitation to the school. Are you one of the students?"Asked A lady

"Am Toshiro Hitsugaya and yes, Just as your daughter. I was having trouble finding it myself a while ago, but I seem to have located it. It is the pillar between platform 9 and 10. Why thru a pillar is not a question I have an answer to." Said Toshiro

"Amazing. It is your first year? Are you alone? Where are your family?" Asked Hermione

"Yes to the first two questions and as for the last, they passed on when I was an infant. My step father had an emergency to attend to therefore is unable to company me" Answered Toshiro

"Oh! I am so sorry…" Said Hermione but was interrupted by Toshiro hand gesture.

"Not something to apologies, it happened a long time ago. I suggest we head off before it leave?" Suggested Toshiro

"Yes, that is a lovely idea" Said the man

"Oh! How rude of us. It seem we forgotten to introduce ourselves. I am Emma. This is my husband, Dan Ganger and our daughter Hermione" Introduced Mrs. Ganger

"Pleasure" Said Toshiro, as they walk thru the pillar to the platform.

The sight was quite amazing. A huge red steam train with a huge Hogwart sign.

Toshiro and Hermione then pushed their respective trolley and head straight for the train after Hermione said her goodbyes to her parents.

While on the train, after they have put away their things. They found a boy named, Neville. He seem to have lost his pet toad. Hermione suggested looking for it, but Toshiro decided it may serve as an opportunity to try a spell.

"Accio Neville's toad" Said Toshiro as he waved his wand.

Immediately the toad came out and shoot straight at Neville. After, the three decided to just stay in their seat or Toshiro's case observing as much as possible.

While, they were discussing or in both Hermione's and Toshiro's case debating the pro and con of a house system. A boy with fire red hair came in arguing with a platinum blond hair boy…

"I heard Harry Potter is coming to Hogwart. Have you mudblood see him around?" Asked the platinum blond boy

Toshiro just raise a eye to the obvious rude insult while Hermione answered

"Really! Harry Potter? I read all about him in the 'Rise and Fall of the Dark Lord'. Just wondering what is 'mudblood'?"Ask Hermione, while Neville had gone pale at the insult.

The blond snared at her and said "Mudblood".

The red hair boy insult back "You aren't any better death eater prawn"

"You think you can challenge me weasel?" Challenged the blond

While all that was happening in the front, Hermione asked Neville in the background with Toshiro listening.

"Are you alright, Neville? You seem to have gone pale. Oh, do you know what he meant? You grew up in the wizardly world, right?" Asked Hermione

"I..I…I…am…ammm fine…" Said Neville as he shuddered. "The word is a insult toward muggle-born, the worst too" Answered Neville

Hermione face immediately fell, while Toshiro twitch at the answer. "Great another nobility jerks" Thought Toshiro sarcastically.

After a while, the boy continue on throwing one insult after another till Toshiro's patient get thinner and thinner. Then, it snapped.

"How about you go look in another compartment and save our eardrum from your childish insults" Said Toshiro as the temperature decreased.

The red hair look ashamed, while the blond clearly stubborn.

"Think I am scare of you? What are you a grandfather mudblood?" Asked the blond

"I did not said anything about whether you are scare or insecurity, I merely pointing out a fact for the benefit of everyone. You don't seem to realize that you are a terribly annoying nuisance" Stated Toshiro

"Why you…." Said the blond before he saw a glare from Toshiro that sent men running with a blank face on.

Before anyone could notice, the blond ran out. Scare out of his wits.

Toshiro then look toward the red hair and raise an eye and answered. " Going to look for Harry Potter?"

The red hair just looked ashamed and apologies. Time seem to have passed quickly as it was time to change as they approach their destination.

As they exit, a gigantic man called out "'irst 'ear… 'irst 'ear. Foll'r me to the boat. 4 per boat" "'eave your things 'ehind"

The 4 of them got into the boat and got their first look of Hogwart. Despite, Matsumoto decrement which is not one bit detail. He has to admit, it was truly a sight to see.

'The firs'-years, Professor McGonagall,' said Hagrid.
'Thank-you, Hagrid. I will take them from here.'

'Welcome to Hogwarts,' said Professor McGonagall. 'The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory and spend free time in your house common room.

'The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule-breaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the House Cup, a great honour. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours.

'The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarted yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting.' Her eyes lingered for a moment on Neville's cloak, which was fastened under his left ear, and on Ron's smudged nose. Toshiro merely look around bored

'I will return when we are ready for you,' said Professor McGonagall. 'Please wait quietly.'

As she said that, she took off to the other side of the door for a brief moment. Suddenly there was a screamed…

Ghosts suddenly appeared, they didn't seem to look at the student merely debating… Toshiro look and eye they irritated. Suddenly, they noticed the students and took one look at Toshiro and flee in fear of their own life.

'Move along now,' said a sharp voice. 'The Sorting Ceremony's about to start.' Professor McGonagall had returned.

'When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted,' she said.

She started going from names to name till….

"Potter, Harry"

The hall fell in silence as all eye looked around. Toshiro rolled his eye and replied "Professor, with a due respect. I have not gone by that name in a long time. I am currently known as Toshiro Hitsugaya"

All eye on him and many whisper all around…

"I see. Hitsugaya, Toshiro" She called

Toshiro then walked without a care of his surrounding and allow her to put on the sorting hat.

Suddenly, a voice not of his or his zanpantou (sword spirit) spoke

"This is certainly surprising, I have to say. I have never been to mind this complex ever in my life" Said the Voice

"Who are you? What are you doing in my master's mind?" Growled the dragon (Hyourinmaru)

"A dragon? In a child's mind?" Questioned the Voice

"I believed he asked a valid questions" Said Toshiro

"I am the sorting hat" Answered the Voice as it came in view a man with hat

"I see. Do you sort by look thru the person's mind? It is not an invasion of privacy?" Asked Toshiro

"I usually only look to their personality as that is what define a child, but in your case. You are not a child, yet you look like one" Answered the sorting hand

"It is none of your concern. Does anything you see get told to anyone?" Asked Toshiro

"No, I am bound to keep whatever I see and the conversion with all" Answered the Sorting Hat

"I see" Said Toshiro as he and Hyourimaru glance at each other and nodded together in agreement

"You may look thru the memories of my master, but if you so inform anyone of what you have seen. Understand there will be consequences" Said Hyourimaru as he let the sorting hat to a lake of memories.

The sorting hat nodded and jumped in. After a while, it jumped out and asked "Which do you prefer? You have a the quality of each house?"

Toshiro thought for a moment and answered "Ravenclaw as I am here to learn and observe"

"Very Well" her answered and said loud to the public "RAVENCLAW"

Silence… then, followed by applauds as her walk towards his house.

While Toshiro was Conversing with the Hat

The hall was silent as they look to Toshiro with eye of a predator.

"What is the meaning of this? He was supposed to be with relative. Was he adopted without my knowledge? How am I going to have my prawn?" Questioned The Headmaster

"That is potter? He looks nothing like potter. He has his father attitude arrogance brat, but is he?" Questioned the potion master

"That is potter? It doesn't matter. He will face the same fate as his parents" Said a certain Dark Lord

"That git of a mudblood grandfather…. He was potter…."Thought the blond angrily

"OMG…. He is was harry potter? But how? Oh, I am such an idiot?" Thought Hermione

"That him?... why didn't he said anything?" Thought the red hair

"Interesting choice of hair. Look shorter than we imagine. All well" Said a pair of red hair twin

"Look like someone got you out of that house, but to change your name to one so asian?" Question Professor McGonagall.

"Hahahahahhaha…. Look like Taichou shocked them good…." Laughed Matsumoto who was hidden in plain sight

Back to the present

After that, the sorting continued and the headmaster fake a smile and continue on as plan….

Hope you like it.
