It had been a long while since Hanako came up to the 1st year table and started stirring shit for no reason. It used to be a little more fun when he was closer in age with the 1st years. But noooo now its not even him joking anymore. Now he’s suddenly a ‘big bully’ if he teases the juniors. Now it’s like most of them are too intimidated or shy to challenge him. Like all he had to do was just stare at them and they’d step aside for him. Pathetic. Boring. Really.

‘Hana, Seinaru’

Hanako stopped fiddling with his utensils to pay attention to the sorting ceremony. He was self absorbed enough to pay attention only when the ceremony did something that reminded him of himself. Another Hana? How annoying. It was a silly thing to be annoyed by. Hana was not the most unique name. And it wasn’t like it was the kid’s first name. But still, perhaps Hanako was just in a bad mood from the boredom. Seeing the sorting ceremony 6 years in a row and its no wonder he gets bored.

As the ceremony went on, Hanako glanced momentarily at this ‘ Seinaru Hana ‘ from the 6th year side of the table. What a stupid look on his face. He may be biased but he felt the Slytherin 1st years tend to be more predictable than others from different houses. Especially when more than half of them came from prominent families and expected to be here.

Seinaru huh? Not a very prominent family name. He found himself being curious of the kid’s background. Could he perhaps be a muggleborn? The kid doesn’t even look like he knows what he’s supposed to do. Looking around anxiously, as if trying desperately to predict what should happen next. It was sorta funny to see. And that was Seinaru’s first mistake. Being perceived as entertaining when Hanako was bored.

Hanako waited until the ceremony was over and people begun feasting.“ Cu Sith” he mumbled, the old language slipping out his tongue in the lowest mumble that anyone hardly heard him but the snake that rested on his lap. He supported her on his hand and helped her face the first year at the end of the slythering table. “ cute?”

All anyone near him hear a snake opening it’s jaw with a small hiss. But he heard cu siths words loud and clear. “CUUUTEEEEE”

Perfect.

“Go then” he whispered. No hissing needed to know that Cu Sith was basically jumping with excitement as Hanako placed her down on the floor. Keeping a close eye on Seinaru. Depending on his reactions to know if Cu Sith reached them or not. Cu Sith would skillfully try to slitter under the table, evading everyones shoes as she went. Once sensing she was nearby her target object of admiration, Seinaru would feel a little tickle slightly above his ankles. Her small tongue darted, and the scales on the top of her head tried to bump against the kid leg, as if trying to get their attention.

Hanako saw that Seinaru made the bold decision to look down the table, they would likely see a 150cm snake tilting its head peacefully, as if proud Seinaru made a decision to look at them. ‘Thats my cue’ Hanako thought as he grinned. In no rush at all to fix his hair before getting up from his seat, awaiting for the screeching of a silly little confused 1st year. Making sure to wipe that grin off his face as he speed walked to the poor kid.

It is unfortunate that there was no immediate screams. Had Hanako overestimated just how nervous the boy is? Its a shame. He felt like Cu Sith had grown into such a huge snake that it wouldn’t matter if people generally like snakes or not. It was often an unnerving sight for everyone in the first minute at least.

No screeching, okay fine. Hanako will make do what he can. Disappointing, really but what else could he do. There's always a chance these sorts of things go a bit sideways. Perhaps he could just be grateful they haven’t gotten too much attention yet. Wouldn’t want anyone swooping in and saving the poor 1st year just yet. Once he was close enough to the boy, he could faintly make out what he said. Which was just a ..plea? For a split second an all too familiar ( and somewhat unnerving ) cheeky smile lit up Hanako's face before he covered it with a fake gentle smile.

“Kill?” he suddenly interjected from behind, making sure his tone wasn’t soft enough, in hopes it would startle the boy. “ Oh no, please. Emerald Gazers don’t have a fascination for human meat no”. He said so calmly at first, taking the opportunity to sit on the empty seat next to the boy. Not caring if he stood out a little among the itty bitty first years. “ She prefers her meat a little differently. Insects. Mice. But you know what, recently I’ve been thinking she’s growing so much that it takes a lot to sate her hunger now. I noticed she’s been especially eyeing small bunny’s~” Hanako said so in a cheery tone that didn’t fit his unnerving words at all. Keeping up with his smile, he continued. “ In fact… that’s probably why she decided to run away from me and come to you”

Cu Sith slid up Hanako’s leg, as if using is as a branch to lean her head towards the little boy, with eager fascination. “ CUTE!” she hissed, sticking out her tongue at the young boy. “ Oh look at that” Hanako patted Cu Sith’s head with a grin, “ She might be a little hungry. Your hair looks so much like the little white rabbit she hunted last night~. Do forgive her if she’s tempted to give a little.. ‘Bite’”.

At this point, it was abundantly clear Hanako wasn’t as friendly as his gentle appearance and soft smile usually deceives people into believing . It didn’t take a genius to know Hanako's smile was as real as fake leather. Slowly shedding off and revealing how he was obviously teasing the first year.

Teasing was perhaps an understatement. Others could think differently of the situation. Whether they intervene or not, Hanako was going to have his fun while it lasted.

The sudden voice echoing behind Seinaru made him flinch for a quick second. Not due to fear of the person’s tone, but he just gets startled easily. There were so many questions he needed to ask the supposed senior in front of him. Who was he? What is he doing here? Where did he come from? WHY is he even here? He was asking the 4W questions to himself, who, what, when, & why.

By the senior explaining that the snake doesn’t eat human meat, Seinaru immediately lets out a sigh of relief. “Phew, well that’s good to hear.” Seinaru responded as he placed a hand on his chest, still relieved that the snake was already slithering to the other senior’s leg, he was assuming that the snake was the senior’s pet.

The moment he heard the word ‘ Do forgive her if she’s tempted to give a little.. ‘Bite’’, his trust for the senior he just met had already disappeared. Well, judging by his looks he does look like the type to look innocent but is POSSIBLY someone who takes things both seriously and unseriously. “... ahahaha, dead rabbit huh?” Seinaru chuckles awkwardly as he scratches the back of his head. He wasn’t terrified of the senior beside him, he was CONCERNED, HIGHLY.

“Very… intriguing. Lots of people told me that my hair looked like the fur of a bunny so.. I’m not too surprised.” Seinaru explains as he looked down at the snake who was currently on the senior's lap. Well this might be an opportunity to maybe dye his hair in the future, but maybe not.

"Well, your snake seems... friendly. I don't assume that she'll make a bold move such as that."Seinaru adds. When he was younger he'd usually get teased by people who were older than him to which he learns that maybe, just maybe, that this senior is possibly trying to make him at least show a hint of strong emotion. But he wont get his expectations high since there's a possibility that the senior was just trying to act nice in his own... unique, way. He was still feeling the tingles inside him when he felt the snake slither up his leg earlier, well what a welcoming gesture to his first day in Hogwarts.

To ignore the recent topic that made Seinaru feel weary, he decided to ask a few questions to lighten up the mood.“I assume you’re a 6th year student because I saw you on the 6th year table during the sorting ceremony, what’s your name?” Seinaru’s head turns to look at the senior sitting beside him. Though a few students were concerned about Seinaru’s well being, meanwhile Seinaru seems very… chill about it.

It was another round of sorting ceremony to commomerated as the new school year about to take on. For the last two years, back when they were still in their second and third year, attending the sorting ceremony was the highlight of their academic career at Hogwarts before all of the obligations that Cash held back then took their time and space.

Now, three years later, seated at the 6^th-year table watching those gazillions first-year to be sorted out into the four houses were just plain boring and monotone. If Cash could hole up in their dorm room, asking one of the house elves to bring the sorting feast into the room, they would choose that by their heartbeat. Sadly, starting at the table was mandatory.

Besides it was a sign of respect for their fellow peers and the professors. It takes a lot of their patience and willpower to sit through the boring sorting ceremony Once that ordeal had been done and the mouth-watering feast laid before their eyes, Cash had no hesitation to take some of the dishes to their heart content.

The chatter and laughter around and echoing the room were lively. But somehow, with a room full of people, the former Slytherin's Beater and Prefect felt lonely. Their acquaintance who sat next to them tried to bring Cash into their conversation but Cash just nodded politely and sent a small smile while their name was being addressed to.

It wasn't until a nuisance that one Hanako Tone stood up from wherever hole he came out from. If Tone stood up from where he was seated, usually, he had a victim
in his mind that he set his gaze upon. Cash had seen it in secret how the little gnome liked to annoy the poor little first-year.

Their green eye followed Tone's every moment until he had stopped behind a little innocent lamb. Cash couldn't make out what the gremlin had said to the poor boy but when Tone was seated beside the boy and amongst the sea of first-years, Cash could tell that Tone was his usual pain in the butt self.

"Excuse me for a moment,"The former Headliner's writer said to the people that were seated around them. As the young Ironwoods marched toward the pair, for whomever saw they were coming, there was a sense of authority and elegance with every step they took.

Once Cash arrived, the tall person towered over anyone as the others seated, including the dwarf that stuck out like a sore thumb in the sea of young faces. Cash heard that the first-year asked about the goblin's name. Before Tone could say anything, there was a hard smack landed on the back of his head.

"Are you lost or something, dwarf?"They said as their green eyes shot daggers at their fellow A.S.P. "Stop being a pain and just go back to the whole you came out from"Cash added some more. Their eyes then landed on the boy who asked for Tone's name. "Is he bothering you or something?"They inquired the boy.

Once the boy gave out his answer, Cash looked at Tone again. "This little hazing you pulled, didn't it get old, no?"They asked. "Don't you think I did not know what your little game, Tone? I watched it every year you did the same thing to those poor little first-years"They added some more.

Crap! Did Cash just out themselves in front of the dwarf? Well... what was done was done. '"Don't mind him. He had some loose screw up in here"Cash said as they put both of their hands and shake Tone's head like the other boy's upper body part was one of those muggle black eight magic balls.

Usually, Cash minds their own business and lets Tone play with his toys but not this year. Perhaps every tragedy that happened in the young socialite's life mellowed them out for a bit. Or perhaps Cash just wanted Tone to taste his own medicine, metamorphically speaking. One thing for sure though, if Tone liked to bother first-years to chase away his boredom, annoying the little nuisance was always Cash's favorite past ttme to chase away their boredom too.

Well, it wasn’t the best reaction. But a delicious one nonetheless. Hanako watched with a mischievous interest as the boy chuckled nervously, evidently still far from being at ease. Good. Stay that way. It wasn’t so fun anymore if the young 1st year was calm.

“Do they?” Hanako snickered at the boy simply going along with having his hair be compared to Cu Sith’s dinner. Without warning he crept up a hand from behind him and unapologetically ruffled the kids hair for a few 5 seconds before retracting. Cu Sith- not very happy seeing her cute human be subjected to such torture, hissed rather loudly in protest. “ NOT CUTE!!” she hissed, but to people who weren’t parselmouths, it only looked more like she was showing off her developed fangs to Sainaru. “ I suppose it is quite soft~” Hanako teased right before he retracted his hand. Any more longer and Cu Sith will surely actually bite Hanako.

"Well, your snake seems... friendly. I don't assume that she'll make a bold move such as that."

“ Cu Sith? Oh yes, she’s a sweetheart. Want to pet her?” Hanako asked with a faux innocent grin, pretending he hadn't even noticed the hint of unease in the kid’s demeanor. Hanako guided Cu Sith a little closer to the first year, completely ignoring if the boy wasn’t appreciating the sudden proximity at all. He held back from getting too close when the boy asked for his name. Before he could answer, someone decided to join and ruin his fun. Immediately making his polite facade drop as he scowled at the newcomer. But he let out an annoyed sigh and glared at the all too familiar student coming in. The one person so insistent that they call him anything but his first name.

"Is he bothering you or something?” At the question directed to the first year, Hanako huffed. “ What? No way! We’re just having a friendly chat, aren’t we not, Seinaru?” he directed his gaze to the boy. By the way he looked at him, it was evident Hanako expected a certain answer.

Of course, Ironwoods wouldn't let him have his fun. He put down Cu Sith on the bench between him and Seinaru and groaned. “ Must you paint every little thing I do as some sort of..mean spirited behaviour fuelled by some sort of wicked motivation?” he sighed dramatically, holding a hand to his chest as if Ironwood’s words pierced through it. Stopping the theatrics for a moment, he smirked and glanced at Ironwoods with a cheeky smile. “ Though, I’m flattered you’ve kept an eye on me for so long, Ironwoods”, he couldn’t help but comment.

Hanako rolled his eyes at Ironwoods warning Seinaru about having loose screws in his head. “ And their head isn’t any better than-.”, however before he could complain, Ironwoods decided to test his patience my not so gracefully shaking his head as if he was a box. " Knock it off!" he swatted their hand away with a snarl, before taking a deep breath and calming himself. Holding himself back from saying some rather unkind things that would surely make Ironwoods fist meet his face. There was plenty of things to comment on. Like the absence of a prefect badge on Ironwood's uniform. Well, whatever. It was too early to make Ironwoods angry. It was evident there was lingering agitation, but he still looked back at Seinaru, holding out a hand for Seinaru to shake. An empty smile resting on his face as he did so. “ Hana. Hanako Tone. The busy body there is Ironwoods. They’re obsessed with me”.

He hadn’t planned to have a less memorable introduction of his name to the boy, but Ironwood’s appearance simply changed a few things. Well, whatever. This was fun too.

By the senior’s hand which suddenly ruffled up Seinaru’s hair made his hair look quite fluffy as a bunny’s fur. Just as Seinaru was about to accept the offer to pet the snake on the head, another senior came into the act.

“ What? No way! We’re just having a friendly chat, aren’t we not, Seinaru?”

Seinaru looked back at the senior who was beside him before he looked at the other one that had just arrived. “... Well it isn’t that friendly to be honest.” Seinaru responded awkwardly as he was fiddling with his thumb, looking back at both of the seniors, hoping to himself that it wasn’t too much of an answer to piss the senior beside him off.

By the other senior mentioning Tone's antics to the first years before, Seinaru gave a side eye towards Tone, wondering if it was a bluff or it was the truth. Seinaru could pretty much sense some negativity lurking behind his polite facade… ah he shouldn’t judge. Maybe. Seinaru even decided to scoot away from the senior sitting beside him slightly after he realised that he might be one of the first years that he’ll mess with.

Seinaru chuckles softly at both of the senior’s interaction with each other before immediately changing his expression to avoid appearing to look like someone who’s making fun of their banter. After all, these two are sixth years, he shouldn’t mess with them since they’re older.

“ Hana. Hanako Tone. The busy body there is Ironwoods. They’re obsessed with me”.

By that response, Seinaru was already fascinated by them. “Hanako? Well what a coincidence, we appear to have almost the same names–well except mine is my family name while yours is your first name. Ironwoods, a very fitting name for you too. It’s a pleasure to meet the both of you.” Seinaru responds as he smiles softly, his dimple being visible. Seinaru decided to have a chat with both Tone & Ironwoods to get to know them a little more, though he’s lowkey worried to know about Tone’s.

But that’s the issue. Seinaru doesn’t know how to pick up topics, he doesn’t even know what to talk about with two seniors who are way older than him! “uhm, so... do you guys uh..” Seinaru fumbles over his words before he sighs, muttering a “nevermind.” as he tilts his head down slightly from shame. In the end, he only embarrassed himself in front of his seniors. Hot dang.

(open to interactionss ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ)

A red fox with literally red fur that sported blonde and brown highlights was suddenly trotting down the center of the table without an obvious care in the world, sniffing at this and that on occasion while its bushy tail would knock things over now and then. The creature was making all kinds of strange noises with some sounding like laughter, some sounding like whining, some barking, chaffing, and other odd assortments of sound. For some reason, however, it didn't seem particularly interested in any of the food...at least not to eat.

Instead, it would dart forward to snatch a chicken leg and drop it in someone else's pumpkin juice. Or step in a sweet potato pie to track footprints all over someone's parchment. One time it even looked like it picked up a block of ice cream in its jaws before tossing its head, causing the glob of cold dessert to fly from its mouth and smack directly into someone's face before the culprit raced off.

Whether it was doing these things on purpose or just getting into mischief on accident was anyone's guess, but few seemed surprised - it was Hogwarts, after all - and even fewer attempted to catch the miscreant. The trouble-maker nimbly dodged all hands that reached for it and even a few spells with the practiced ease of a hunted, wild animal - or, perhaps, at least someone who had spent enough time in the body of a hunted wild animal to know how to remain elusive.

Eventually the vulpine stopped before the trio of Seinaru, Hanako, and Cassandra, but it hardly cast the older students a glance before looking Seinaru up and down. Then, without further warning, it jumped into the air and made a leap right for the first year's lap, yipping loudly as it did so.

As soon as Cash voiced their concern - if you could count their question as one, that is - Tone was quick on his quip. “What? No way! We’re just having a friendly chat, aren’t we not, Seinaru?” The gnome speaks. Cash deliberately ignores the weird boy and waits for the first-year to speak his mind.

"... Well, it isn’t that friendly, to be honest." Seinaru responded awkwardly as he was fiddling with his thumb. Just as Cash predicted, the way Tone bizarrely glided and inserted himself into the first-year table, made the other boy feel uncomfortable. That is what Cash picked up as Seinaru fiddled with his thumb.

"See, midget! with the way you bizarrely sitting in this part of the table like you were welcome here, make him uncomfortable "The green eyes said. Being sixth year truly mellow Cash out. They never care about other people's business. And Cash never bothers to step in between Tone and his weird tradition.

The former Prefect thought that Tone wanted to say an apology to the first-year, instead, the hobbit blurbed out something else. “ Must you paint every little thing I do as some sort of.. mean-spirited behaviour fuelled by some sort of wicked motivation?” Tone said dramatically. Seeing the exaggerated action coming from the boy, Casg rolled their eyes.

"Cut the drama, hobbit!"They say. "Knowing you, there is always a hidden agenda, ulterior motives, or whatever you wanted to call it when you decide to pick on the firsties like you always did"They carry on.

"What do you accomplish by doing that, huh? Do you want the firsties to look at you like you hung the moon and the stars for them?"Cash inquired. The young Ironwoods did not need to wait for too long when Tone once again opened his yapping hole. “Though, I’m flattered you’ve kept an eye on me for so long, Ironwoods” Tone stated.

The former beater of Slytherin let out a scoff. "As if!"They spewed out. "YOU are just in my line of sight, unfortunately. You were NOT that special. Don't think so highly of yourself" They said. Tone then swatted Cash's hand away with a snarl when they shook the boy's head.

Instead of not doing it again and letting Tone annoy the first-year in peace, Cash did it for the second time. Shake Tone's head for good measure to annoy the agitated boy further. Then Tone proceeded to introduce himself to the white-haired boy and said that Cash was obsessed with the dwarf. "Again, there was nothing about you that stood out that made me obsessed with"They bantered.

But it seems their little dialogue fell on deaf ears as Seinaru talked for miles a minute as he explained the similarities between his last name with Tones's first name. When the boy smiled and his dimple was visible, Cash couldn't stop their smile too. Dimple was Cash's weakness; not many people know that fact about them.

"... Ironwoods is a very fitting name for you too. It’s a pleasure to meet both of you.”Yje youngling said. As the feast was still ongoing and Cash felt dead on their feet, the former Headliner's writer made room for themselves. With a glare, the poor unnamed first-year scoots over to create a space for them to sit on the long wooden bench.

"C'est un plaisir de te rencontrer aussi It's a pleasure to meet you too"Cash replied in Fremch after they took their sit that wasn't near the odd chihuahua which is Hanako Tone. Seinaru then fumbled with his words when he wanted to ask about something. Cash smiled at the boy encouragingly.

"What do you want to ask me?"They questioned. "If I can answer it, I will tell you"They continued. Though Cash was sad that they were no longer a Prefect, it was also a blessing. If that shiny exclusive badge was still pinned on the lapel of their uniform, the other boy would be more frightened than he already was.

As for Tone, Cash could care less. The owner of Cu Sith had known Cssh for more or less five years. And Tone definitely should know not to cross Cash under any circumstances.
