Can I have a headcanon of the adult trio if they were in harry potter, like what house they'd be in, and who you'd ship them with?

Oh, this was so fun to imagine!Regarding theLove Interests, I didn’t place them with characters I actually ship them with but theones I think might have higher chances of getting their attention… The triowouldn’t be more interested in romance than they are in the Hunter universe,but having to live with several peoplein the castle during the year might end up making a few of them stand out in theireyes.

Their “preferences” would remain the same as well. Also, I only went forcharacters that actively appear in the books (including some of the adults). Ihave to say, this part was a bit hard, but I had a lot of fun! If anyone there has aheadcanon of your own or some idea about this particular scenario, please tellme!!!!

Illumi

House: Ravenclaw (definitely intelligent enough) or Slytherin(cunning enough). He would be one of those particular difficult students tosort (maybe they should create a House just for him…)Blood Status: Rumored Half-Blood or Pureblood (it isn’t clear andit’s not like people have the guts to ask Illumi anything personal).

Illumi in aboarding school is not quite a good idea, not only because the Zoldyck familywould still be known assassins and prefer to teach their children at home, butalso because of Illumi’s firm belief that assassins don’t have friends andbeing forced to live with other people during the year would make him dislikeschool quite a lot.

Regarding thefamily trade, it is very likely that Voldemort tried to recruit them, beingdenied (same going for the Order of the Phoenix). While the Zoldycks didn’tmind doing jobs for both sides back in the days of the war and even afterVoldemort’s second rising, they refused to take an active position and bothsides knew better than to cross any lines with them, reason why Voldemort nevertried to resort to blackmail or any other forceful method (despite hisarrogance and horcruxes, he knew it would only make the whole family out for his blood and they might jointhe Order then, which was an unnecessary risk as long as they kept acceptingmaking business with him) and arguments about how this war affects everyone andthey should do what is right also don’t yield much results. It’s not easy totell if they would eventually take a side when Voldemort took control orcontinue with their lives.

Truth is, theZoldyck don’t believe in blood supremacy (blood is all the same when it’s spilled),but they honestly couldn’t care less about this war since they are powerfulenough to keep themselves safe and move away if it seems to be the best for thefamily. Some who harbor more sense of honor and personal morals (such as Zeno,perhaps) may despise Voldemort for “killing for fun” or such “unfounded motives”and the level of torture his side employs even without need, but that would beit. Of course, that’s not considering Killua, who would join the Order as soonas he could, but I digress.

Because of hisreputation, it’s very unlikely thatIllumi would suffer any bullying for whatever reason (such as his mother comingfrom the Meteor City). And even if others didn’t know him to be a Zoldyck, he wouldstill be the sort of guy that others get out of the way by pressingthemselves against the wall.

 Students thatknow about the Zoldyck’s family business would prefer to keep their distancejust in case at first, Illumi’s attitude later making this seem the saferoption. The few who don’t know or try to approach him anyway would realize quitesoon that Illumi doesn’t want anything to do with them and it’s better to leavehim alone. He has enough self-control to not kill people around him just becausethey irritated him (and a cold glare has proved to be as effective in thisscenario), but those who tried (insisted) in befriending him would be utterlydisliked by Illumi, even if their intentions are actually pure. He doesn’t need friends. He doesn’t want friends. And despite everything, ifit became necessary to be cruel (verbally) in order to make those people getthe message, he would.

 Illumi’sthreatening reputation wouldn’t be enough to push some admirers away, but mostof them would be too wary to approach him directly (love letters or gifts arecompletely ignored by Illumi, I might add). Note that while he doesn’t form deepemotional relationships, Illumi wouldn’t go around antagonizing people. Wantingto have a peaceful life in school, he would remain polite (unless provokedbeyond his self-control) to his classmates, being that quiet guy who is notfriends with anyone but is neither bullied, mean or someone’s enemy, per say. Ina way, Illumi sees this school as an assignment of sorts that must be completed(though he tries to sway his parents to allow him to be educated at home). Juststay out of his way and you’ll be fine.

 The rich andsnob clique of the school may have some derogatory opinion of the Meteor Cityand people from there (regardless of how damn rich the Zoldyck are), but theywould know better than to say an “A” about Illumi’s mother (due to his family’sreputation, some wouldn’t want to talk about Illumi even in the privacy of theirdorms, fearing he has a way of knowing it anyway).

Possible Love Interests: (Illumi isn’tinterested in love in his own story, what makes you think it would be anydifferent in Hogwarts?)

° Narcissa Black:Although not much of Narcissa is revealed, it’s clear that despite being anarrogant woman, she values family above all else. If attending school together,Narcissa might be somewhat curious about the Zoldyck, which she would hide outof pride (and some self-preservation that she will never admit). The fact he stateswithout a care that blood purity is plain stupidity would make room for sometension between them on her part (and not always in a good sense) as Narcissa,while not dumb to provoke him too much, she wouldn’t cower in fright at hissight either. If things would be good between them is another matter completely…They might develop a somewhat friendly ground after a while or become nastyenemies, depending on how both respond to the situation and how far they arewilling to take things. There is also the possibility of the Black familyconsidering trying an arranged marriage between her and Illumi.

° Hannah Abbot:Now, this is a tricky case and one I wouldn’t quite call “romantic”. WhileHannah appears to be kind-natured and gentle, also loyal and courageous as shestayed to fight during the Battle of Hogwarts, she also demonstrated a somewhatvulnerable side that allows her to be swayed by other’s opinions (two evidences:In the second year when she was convinced by Ernie that Harry was attackingpeople, despite thinking Harry had always seemed a nice guy and on the fourthyear it’s safe to assume she was among the many Hufflepuff students who worethose badges against Harry despite having been in good terms with him).

I don’t thinkIllumi would actively pursue anyone romantically, but the fact that it seems hewould be able to have a degree of control over Hannah while nurturing her strengthwould certainly make her fit in his controlling views. However, I like to thinkher friends would try to help her once they realized Illumi is toxic to her.

Hisoka

House: Slytherin.Blood Status: Unknown (yeah, is anyone surprised?).

 Hisoka wouldbasically show Hogwarts why perhaps they should consider having a counselor/psychologistfor the students… He wouldn’t go around challenging classmates to duels 24/7 orbe disturbing in the level of someone such as Illumi, but his interest in strongopponents would remain pretty much the same as well as his bloodlust, whichmight be even worse as he is still so young. Classmates would be unsure ofwhether or not to approach him (even during first year) and even how, as youcan never tell with Hisoka: Sometimes his good mood isn’t “normal student”happy because he got a good grade or any other reason, but because he secretlykicked someone’s ass. Of course, due to several reasons, he would hide some ofhis worst traits (or at least how deep they go) a lot more than he doesoriginally, but he would still creep some people out quite a bit.

 Just like inthe Hunter Universe, Hisoka would be a lone wolf and remain an enigma throughoutall of his years in Hogwarts: No one knows where he came from, about his parents,how he could know several spells before ever coming to Hogwarts… And that’sjust how Hisoka likes it, as his past remains something he just doesn’t talkabout.

 Classmates couldalso at times see him training physical fighting in the school grounds. While thesnobbish groups would sneer at the idea of “muggle wresting”, they would stillbe “somewhat” impressed by his flexibility and agility, especially if they hadthe chance to see Hisoka dueling, ashe uses those moves while casting spells, making him a hard target, having anew style that is entirely his own. Even at his first year, he would beconsidered especially talented, but even the teachers would be unsure if thisis a good or bad thing, despite Hisoka acting polite and respectful towardsthem (secretly wondering if he would get to duel them someday). His gradeswould also be quite good, even with subjects he seems to not care much for.

 While Hisoka wouldn’tmind social interaction, people shouldn’t be to quick to consider themselves hisfriends but few realize this since, like I mentioned, Hisoka would hide hismore sociopathic traits more while in school. Towards his teenage years hewould also have a few “flings” (there would be quite some people interested inhim, especially after the weekend Hisoka pretty much walked to the lake, tossedhis shirt aside and just went for a swim in front of half of the school).

Not one to acceptbeing constricted, he wouldn’t have issues with interacting with students fromthe other Houses as well and, to be honest, it could be quite peaceful (or asclose to it as we can get with this clown). Regarding some other students ofSlytherin and their belief in blood purity or the rivalry with Gryffindor,well, Hisoka wouldn’t want anything to do with that from day one. If someonestarted talking about it, he would give them a bored, cold glare and say thisis easily the most moronic thing he ever heard in his entire life. Of coursethe purists in his House would be angered by this and try to either pressureHisoka or downright demand him to follow the “House rules”, which they wouldcome to regret quite soon, even if they are older. You want a rule? Hisoka hasone for you: Don’t you ever try tomake him do something he doesn’t want. Not if you want to keep the bones ofyour hand intact.

 Yes, Hisoka wouldn’thave issues with “demonstrating” how strength has nothing to do with blood status,after all… Blood looks all the same when painting the walls, doesn’t it? Thiswould make some of his House mates fear him while others, like Draco Malfoy,would hate him and believe him to be a blood traitor (or muggleborn), however ifthey acted upon it, it would endbadly for them, since Hisoka’s reactions would be… Well, pretty muchfrightening. And you should know how Hisoka is someone you wouldn’t want hating you (Hell, this goes for all theAdult Trio and we know it). Those who agree that those questions are just nonsensewould actually be cheering Hisoka on from the inside and might feel more confidentto express their opinion, so hey, maybe something good can come out of this?

However, don’tthink this means Hisoka would ever be part of a group that goes around provingthose points. Yes, blood purity is stupid. Yes, this feud between the twoHouses is boring. This doesn’t mean he will try to make other people see thisor take a stand against it, either: Hedoesn’t care.

 There is somechance he would get along fairly well with the Weasley twins (again, not quitea friendship, but…), even taking partin some of their pranks and often buying their products.

Possible Love Interests:

 ° LunaLovegood: Poor girl… She would catch his attention without even trying, and not so much due to the strangeaccessories she likes but due to the things she says and not in a negative way,either. Hisoka doesn’t like boring people and Luna is far from it in hisopinion. If anything, her open mind and theories would spark his interest andhe would enjoy talking with her. Luna might also be among the people who cansense how deep Hisoka’s distortion goes and her occasional comments about histrue nature would often impress him, as well as that particular strength sheseems to have.

This couldremain a mere “friendship” or become deeper in nature, to the point Hisokawould be seriously interested in her and not as a mere affair. And while hedoesn’t care for people, Luna would be the exception to this particular rule.  

° Sirius Black:This could end up either as a serious relationship or indeed something born onlyout of sexual interest and nothing more. There is something about Sirius’behavior in his teen that might attract Hisoka’s attention, such as Sirius’wits and confidence (and well, both can be quite show-offs at times). Hisoka isnot shy in displaying interest and wouldn’t be so during his teens. Not havinga care for rules or problems, it’s also likely he would enjoy joining theMarauders in some of their mischief. He wouldn’t be a part of the group, but wouldfind them pleasant enough for occasional company. Like I mentioned, whateverhappened between him and Sirius might be solely physical, sex and nothing more,or it might become an actual relationship.

° NymphadoraTonks: Being a Metamorphmagus would certainly arouse Hisoka’s interest, due tobeing such a rare thing to come across. It would be the first thing that wouldmake Hisoka pay attention to her. Her style might be taken as “different” or “weird”for other wizards (pink or purple hair), but Hisoka would actually find itrather attractive (namely, hot as hell) exactly because it’s her own (unlikesome who might use the Metamorph ability to become unbelievable attractive, Tonksuse it as she likes it, rather than to fit the societal norm).

As she notesin the book, her Head of House said she “lacked the ability to behave”. We see Tonksis full of life and good humor, traits Hisoka would definitely enjoy. This isn’tto say a relationship would work well or even happen (well, same can be saidfor all of the relationships of this post) due to Hisoka’s bloodlust.

° HermioneGranger: An unsure case, that may be just a fling or become something more… It wouldbe one of the cases when it seems the couple has nothing in common with eachother and how the hell did that happen to begin with?

Well, atfirst Hisoka would have zero interestin Hermione, deeming her a boring girl who can only follow the rules and recitetextbooks. Not his type. Hermione would also consider him as far from her typeas possible. Sure, he doesn’t go around calling her names or bullying her likeother Slytherins, but she knows he is far from being a “good guy”.

However, Hisokamight start to tease her from time to time, just to be a pest (especially whenhe is bored), though it wouldn’t ever get to the point of bullying. They wouldquickly develop a certain comfort zone with each other. Hisoka’s teasing wouldgo on, as if to make her unwind a little (and probably become a little moreflirtatious later on) and Hermione, while certainly often aggravated by him,would find that she doesn’t mind it so much… It would be quite strange for bothof them and for several reasons, but it might happen.

Chrollo

House: Ravenclaw. Controlled with his emotions, Chrollo hasa quick mind and a desire for knowledge that would make him fit in right away. Somehouse-mates may compete with him for grades, but Chrollo shows no interest insuch.Blood Status: Muggleborn or Half-blood. Hard to say, since he doesn’ttalk about his life outside of Hogwarts, but being from Meteor City, it’s veryunlikely that he is a Pureblood. And the people who know for sure don’t talkabout it with others.

We can’t saythat the Adult Trio would be better in Hogwarts or cause no problems andChrollo is no exception, even if he may seem better adjusted than Hisoka or Illumi,but this is an act and nothing more. He would be considered the perfect candidatefor Head Boy by the teachers: Well behaved, polite, incredibly intelligent… Butthose who have sharp instincts may feel something off about him, that hints to his actual nature as, in fact, he wouldbe pretty much just like he is in the Hunter Universe regardless of a youngerage: A person who has no qualms about killing others to achieve what he wantsand who cares for no one who is not part of his inner circle of friends (andGod have mercy if you hurt any of them in anyway). However, just like Chrollocould fool Neon, he would be able to fool everyone in Hogwarts.

 Coming fromMeteor City, it’s also likely that he had to grow up too fast, so the teacherswho are aware of the city’s conditions may try to approach him wanting to offerany comfort or help that might be necessary, but Chrollo would act as if he isa well-adjusted child (only accepting said help if it seems they would find itstrange if he refused too much). In a way, Hogwarts would be somewhat of atraining ground, as the first thing he would do once graduating would beofficially forming the Genei Ryodan. He wouldn’t be learning just the academic subjects,but observing people, listening about politics, expanding the knowledge hewould later employ (and even testing some of it already).

As Imentioned, Chrollo (as well as his goals) would remain pretty much the same. Now,while Hogwarts may be a certain oasis for its students, it wouldn’t ever become a “home” for Chrollo, evenif he would like it there (it canbecome a place of high emotional value even after he leaves), the knowledge,the possibilities it offers and he would have days he just enjoys a more normallife, no doubt, but his only home will always be the Meteor City. Still, it’snot easy to say if he wouldn’t ever steal something from there with the Spidersdue to the memories/respect for the place (though if some item such as thePhilosopher’s Stone was currently beingkept there, then you can believe they would as the stone is not part of the school).

 Even at ayoung age, Chrollo would be quite a prodigy and if we take a crossover whereNen doesn’t exist, you can believe that the Skill Hunter would, in one shape or another: Chrollo would be talented enough tobe able to create his own spells, a few of them quite complicated actually, sohe might find a way to absorb one’s magical talents in an at least similar way.Of course, no one would have any idea of this, even when he started to make “tests”right in the school grounds, testing the extent of what he can do.

 While he wouldbe well mannered and those who fancy him (male and female) would be enough forChrollo to be considered “popular”, people wouldn’t be able to get as close tohim as they think, just like in the Hunter universe. Chrollo would deceivethose he wants to come close enough to try some spell, curse or try the SkillHunter on as he perfects it, but there would very few emotional attachments inhis school life. Some students who would go around claiming to be his friends wouldnot be considered the same by Chrollo, as the only exception would be those whoalso came from Meteor City, perhaps those who would later on become part of theSpider, if they happen to be attending Hogwarts as well. He might considerrecruiting others as well when they graduate, depending on their power even ifthey are not from the same city. It should be noted that they would seem likeany other group of close friends (contrary to the students who became DeathEaters, as some of them already used Dark Magic in school) rather than future murderers.

 About thequestion of Death Eaters, while Voldemort might at least consider recruitingthe Spiders (or at least the most powerful, such as Chrollo) despite the possibility of their blood status (as theyare certainly a worthy addition to his side), he wouldn’t be able to find them morethan others in the Hunter Universe and the Spiders would have no more interestin taking part in the war than the Zoldycks, unless the Meteor City started tosuffer because of it, in which case they would return there and kill whateverDeath Eater (and perhaps even members of the Order) in a clear warning thatthey should leave the city out ofthis mess.

 Chrollo mayface some prejudice and bullying if it became known he came from Meteor Cityand also because, again, of his possible blood status by people like Draco Malfoy,for example. Chrollo would have some pretty poisonous responses to taunts thatwould be said in the calmest tone ever… And of course, if some ill fate were tobefall a person who annoyed him a bit too much… Well, it’s not like anyone can ever prove anything.

Possible Love Interests:

° HermioneGranger: There are several reasons why Hermione would catch Chrollo’s attentionand the fact she is so intelligent is not the only one. He might approach herafter crossing paths so often in the library, in a tentative way as he is stillmerely curious about her. His interest wouldn’t be romantic from the get-go, sinceat first Chrollo would just be content to find someone who enjoys reading and sharesa similar thirst for knowledge.

Over time,their interactions would increase and not be limited to the latest book theyread or what they think about a particular spell, with Chrollo starting to paymore attention to her and becoming a friend she can turn to when she fightswith Ron or Harry (Chrollo would certainly spend several hours with her in the thirdyear when both stopped talking to her for a while). However, in those times,Chrollo would subtly try to shift her attention to himself, wanting to separateher from the others. He would try keeping this as innocent as possible, sincehe would know at once that trying to turn Hermione against her friends wouldbackfire pretty badly.

In the end, regardlessof how things turn out, she may be one of the very few people that won’t becomepart of the Spiders (having, you know, morals) that Chrollo can stand.

° Harry Potter:Chrollo would have the same normal curiosity that many of the wizarding world sharesregarding Harry due to him surviving the Avada curse (and whether or not thismeans he has a possible rare skill Chrollo can steal), approaching Harry withoutacting as a fan or assuming to know anything about him. While he would be justas friendly as he is with everyone else, he would be basically evaluating Harryin several ways, including as a person.

Harry’spersonality, determination and the trouble “adventures” he gets intowould make him interesting in Chrollo’s eyes in a more personal way, regardlessif he seems to not possess any special skill that Chrollo would want to steal.Being quite good at reading people, Chrollo would be able to find a few thingsabout Harry (such as his situation with the Dursleys) without even talkingabout it. He might even consider recruiting Harry as a Spider, since he hasseveral qualities that would make him a good member… And maybe a part ofChrollo thinks about this because he wants to keep Harry close…

Eventually,they would develop a sort of camaraderie between them, which can become a seriousrelationship. If he happens to be older than Harry, Chrollo would definitely presenthimself as “the aloof and cool older student” that Harry can count on.
