The whole of Slytherin cheered as the second Malfoy joined them at the table. Hadrian takes the seat right next to Draco, watching as the rest of the students get sorted. They cheered loudly when Blaise also got sorted into Slytherin, walking over and taking the seat on the other side of Draco.  

Once the ceremony was over, the empty plates that were sitting on the table were suddenly filled with food. There was roast beef, chicken, pork chops, bacon, steak, potatoes, and so much more. Everyone starts filling up their plates and dives into their dinner.  

One of the older Slytherin boys turns to the twins, "So you're really twins?".

Hadrian nods, "Technically no, since I'm adopted. That's just how we've referred to ourselves since we were little. I mean, we look alike don't we?".

The people around them nod, "Absolutely" "Oh, for sure". "Definitely".

The girl sitting in front of them laughs, "Although, you may need to fight for the crown of best twins".  

They laugh as they look towards the Gryffindor table, where they spotted Fred and George trying to make some of the new first years laugh. Hadrian makes eye contact with them, blushing as they wink at him.  

Apparently, Hermione wasn't the only one who wanted to intercept the twins. A girl with a short black bob decides to make herself known by sitting in between Draco and Blaise.

She smiles, "Well, I think you're great". She sticks her hand out, "Pansy Parkinson".

Draco looks down at her hand, "Draco Malfoy. Now please sit somewhere else".  

She giggles and scoots closer, "Come on, there's no assigned seating". She turns to Blaise, smirking, "Besides, I'm sure he won't mind".

Blaise glares, "I can assure you he does mind. Now please move away from my best friend and stop disturbing us".  

She scoffs and finally gets up. Draco sighs in relief and Blaise moves back over, a little closer than the last time.

Trying to forget what just happened, the older boy turns to them, "So, is it actually true that Professor Snape is your godfather?".

They nod, "It's true".

Another boy overhears and leans in, "So what's he like?".  

Hadrian starts, "Despite what you all know, he's actually really sweet. Incredibly protective of us and spoils us more than our father".

They all coo in amazement as Draco continues, "He taught us everything we know about potions and occlumency. He was Hadrian's favourite when he first got adopted. Uncle Severus had to live in our manor for the first few months cause it broke his heart every time Hades cried when he had to leave-".  

A voice interrupts him from behind, "Thank you, boys. That's quite enough".

They turn to see Severus standing behind them with a stern face, but only they notice the minute facial movement that they knew was a small smile.  

He hands them each a piece of paper, "Here are your schedules, boys. I need to hand the rest of these out, but I'll see you down in the common room".

They nod, "Yes, Uncle Sev".

He smirks slightly and turns to Blaise, "Veillez à ce qu'ils se comportent bien" (Make sure they behave).  

Some of the other Slytherins snicker, as almost every pureblood knows how to speak, or at least understand, French.

They boys have made quite the first impression.
