Ch 31: Newcomers
*Anos's POV*
Unexpected to any of us though, Simon straight up kicked the wooden door open off its hinges.
"We have a technology here called Doorknobs. I think you're gonna love it." I said with a lazy drawl in my voice but Simon ignored me and rushed inside the room. A quick sweep and I knew exactly why.
" Hey, I think you guys should go. I'll handle the Belmont." I said and walked forward.
" But why you?" Harriet asked and I could see Hermione making an 18 page front and back argument against me.
" Well if something happens then the teachers aren't gonna catch All of us. We're in the same house remember. Don't want its reputation thrown into the mud and trampled on by others." I replied.
" All the more reason You should definitely not go in there," Draco argued ready to drag me back. Ron looked ready to fall over and sleep on the ground.
" We've still got a letter to talk about. Now please return to the Jedi temple Young padwans before I go full Anakin on you all." I said and entered the room while erecting a simple curtain (barrier) with cursed energy.
It was still a work in progress but no 11 year old that just started magic was gonna cross that thing.
Inside the room, Simon was in a corner with his whip pointing at a silver-haired kid in regal clothes drinking what could only be blood from a wine glass while his free hand pointed at another kid with a blindfold on and a sword strapped to his back.
"You! You fought me blindfold bastard and You you're a Vampire aren't you?" Belmont all but shouted while giving accusing glances.
"Wait a fucking minute I own the trademark to the blindfold look and you egoistical asshole in medieval cosplay stop twirling that wine glass like it's your personal Cumshooter2000," I said with accusing fingers pointing at the Vampire and the swordsman. Such uncultured people.
" I merely did as my clan laws that have long since been upheld with honor and virtue told. You were the aggressor and I was the retaliator. Also, I have no prior knowledge of any traditions against blindfolds but do know that I didn't mean any disrespect. " The swordsman pointed at me with his finger while his unsheathed (Quite fast on the draw) sword pointed at Simon.
" You're the Progenitor aren't you? It seems my venture into this knowledge will be satisfactory with this encounter alone. And as for you Belmont I hope you address your peers with better titles though I suppose that'll be too much to ask for from you." The vampire pointed a sharp-nailed index finger at me while his blood glass was pointed at Simon mockingly.
"Wait let's start with the Introductions. I'm Lan Zhan from the Land of the Forever Sun." The now-identified Lan Zhan introduced himself.
" Since we're doing this. I'm Alucard. First of my name from Neverwinter." The kid in medieval cosplay introduced himself.
" Simon Belmont. Heir apparent of house Belmont." Simon said with a sharp tone.
"Anos V. Snape, Progenitor of the Vampyr and the most beautiful beast on this continent," I said and gave a calculative look at everyone in the room.
Everyone gave me weird looks and Alucard almost choked on his Blood wine.
"Really?" Simon looked at me in disbelief.
"Hey! Everyone has cool titles and I only speak in facts." I replied and gave a huff from anger.
"Shouldn't the Progenitor title suffice for that? I certainly didn't expect a Progenitor to be quite this. How to say this in normal terms, Ah yes Eccentric." Alucard said with a cold tone though his face would make you believe the opposite to be true.
"What did you expect then? A big baby with a silver spoon up his..." I started but Lan Zhan interrupted
"Forget it. We haven't accomplished anything except introducing ourselves and looking like socially inept buffons for the last 5 minutes. So I request everyone to put down their weapons. Your knife too Anos." Lan Zhan said calmly and we lowered our weapons.
" See? All better." He said with a smile. Completely ignoring Simon and Alucard using Lightning eyes behind him, trying to kill the other with a look.
"Oh, there you all are! Ah, Anos. It's wonderful that you're already here since I would have to call you anyways. These are some of the students that I was talking to you about this morning and it seems all of you have already become acquaintances. Wonderful." Dumbledore came into the room. Completely ignoring my barrier.
"There are More?" I groaned. These guys were no fun.
"Ah yes of course. They'll all be arriving throughout the day but don't worry you won't have to receive all of them. You've already done more than enough with helping your peers get acquainted." Dumbledore said happily, ignoring the rising tick mark on my head.
" This still doesn't explain how the bloodsucker got his hands on human blood. " Simon said with his arms crossed.
" We provided Alucard with donated blood. The house-elves got it for him I presume. You'll know how it could easily be misunderstood don't you Anos." Dumbledore said while looking at me.
" Wait so he drinks blood too!" Belmont looked ready to flip a table over.
' I'm gonna cut off that beard old man.' I thought and gave a long sigh in the increasingly loud staff room.
