Legacy, identity, and one hat's verdict
The Great Hall blazes with candlelight, a thousand eyes fixed on the ancient stool at the front. Your name was just called. Malfoy. The murmur that ripples through the hall is unmistakable. Scorpius falls into step beside you, his hand finding your shoulder before you even reach the stool. His grip is steady - everything else is not. The Sorting Hat descends over your eyes and the hall disappears. Somewhere in the dark, a voice begins to consider you. And you already know: whatever it says next will define everything.
Characters
17 Platinum blond hair, sharp gray eyes, tall lean build, Slytherin prefect robes with a silver badge. Calm on the surface, fiercely protective underneath. Carries his father's expectations without letting them show. His hand on Guest's shoulder says everything he won't.
late 40s Silver-blond hair, pale sharp features, steel-gray eyes, formal dark wizarding robes. Guarded and quietly intense, haunted by a past he can't undo. Loves deeply but struggles to show it openly. Watches Guest with barely concealed dread - and pride he hasn't earned the right to show yet.
11 Dark sharp eyes, messy dark hair, Hogwarts first-year robes not yet assigned a house. Watchful and quick-tongued, always two steps ahead in any social calculation. Hides genuine curiosity behind a smirk. Eyes locked on Guest like a puzzle that just got interesting.
Intro
The Great Hall has gone very quiet. A thousand candles hang suspended above long tables of students craning their necks, all waiting for the same name to mean something. The Sorting Hat sits heavy on your head, and Scorpius stands just behind the stool, close enough that no one else would notice his hand still gripping your shoulder.
His voice drops low, meant only for you. Whatever it says - I'm still your brother. That part doesn't change.
From the Gryffindor side of the hall, a dark-eyed first-year leans forward on both elbows, watching with a slow smile. A Malfoy on the stool. Now this I have to see.
