Chapter 36: Aftermath! Part-2

{Gryffindor Table, Great Hall, Hogwarts}

{2nd Sep 1991} 

{3rd Person POV}

...

"-Did you read that? Do you really think that he's the son of You-Know-Who?" A boy from upper year asked his friend as they gathered around reading the newspaper.

Harry did not know much about the wizarding newspaper outlet, but he had tried to follow along. He grew up in an abusive family, and even though the Dursleys were not physically abusive, throughout several interactions with normal humans, he had come to accept that none of it was his fault. He wasn't as good as Dudley in their eyes and to be honest he didn't think anybody else would have been as well.

"-Don't be an idiot, this clearly states his father was the notorious mass murderer, how could-" Another whispered argument whizzed past him as he looked at the photo of a dark-haired man screaming behind bars.

...

The letter arrived during the summer when he was looking at which universities to apply to and finally being free of the hellhole street named Surrey. His scores were excellent in High school and he had made sure they remained as it was his last hope to escape. 

Hagrid in his clumsy way had told him the story of the Boy-Who-Lived, how he was supposed to be some sort of hero was beyond him but at least it provided him some closure about his parents. That they weren't just drunkards but respectable members of society who died fighting for a cause. He had devoured books on recent history but he couldn't find much listed about Lily and James Potter, even though his name was smeared across a bunch of them.

After not finding anything about his parents he had stayed away from the books and instead focused on the world they lived in. The magical world was a bit weird in a tilted sort of way. Everything was crocked from the moving pictures to the flying brooms. His parents had left behind a sizeable inheritance for him so he wasn't worried about the future so much. 

The decision to come to Hogwarts was made pretty easily. The curiosity had landed him here, sitting on a table with strangers all around him talking and whispering as he stared at the photo of the man responsible for the years of torture he had to endure for years.

...

'''Rigel Black: The Next Dark Lord?'''

The heading was as catchy as it could be, he expected this from the publications but the information the article gave him was a lot more than his pointless struggles with history books ever did.

'''...In a surprising turn of events, the heir to the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Black is a ParselMouth. An ability that can be traced all the way up to Salazar Slytherin himself and the notorious reputation it gained because of the damage Dark Magic cast using it can do. The Last known speakers of this magic tongue is He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and Herpo the Foul...'''

'''...Rigel Black came into the magical world as an unknown a couple of months ago when Narcissa Malfoy, an esteemed member of our society accompanied him to file his heirship claim. It was later revealed that he has a significant amount of Gaunt Lineage which was the last known family to share ties with Slytherin himself...'''

'''...Rigel Black likely would inherit the Wizengamot seats for the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Black and The Most Ancient House of Gaunt. With so much Political power in someone who already is showing dark tendencies with threatening the murder of the heir of Ancient and Noble House of Malfoy is a concern.'''

''' To read more about what being a ParselMouth means turn to the article on page 2...'''

''' To read more about The Mystery of Rigel Black's Parentage and his mysterious link to He who must not be named, turn to page 3...'''

...

Harry was surprised as he read more and more about ParselMouth, its dark history, and what it was. He looked up at the boy eating a toast as he also read the same newspaper. To him Rigel looked like an ordinary boy his age, how could the newspaper compare him to a Dark Lord was a bit beyond him especially since he could talk to snakes as well.

...

'''The Mystery of Rigel Black's Parentage!'''

'''If you have already read all the other articles you would begin to wonder where did he even come from. Well, according to sources Rigel Black's name first surfaced when his Hogwarts letter emerged from the Hogwarts Registry. Before it, the Wizarding world had no idea that Rigel even existed.'''

''' According to his age, there is only one candidate that is suitable. Sirius Black is a notorious Death Eater who was acting as a spy against Albus Dumbledore's efforts to stop Voldemort. He mingled with the Light side and hung around before he betrayed his decade-long friend, James Potter to the Dark Lord.'''

'''His actions directly led to the death of James Potter, Lily Potter, and he personally killed their mutual friend Peter Pettigrew and also murdered 12 Muggles in the process.'''

'''The Black Family is notorious for their madness which makes Rigel Black's possession of access to a dark magical language all the more dangerous...'''

...

"...-ARRY!" A muted scream broke him out of the trance he was in after reading the last couple of passages as he looked at Ron who was looking at him with concern. Harry blinked a couple of times as he looked around and found that the table in front of him was cracked and a lot of dishes were floating. 

~Clang~ ~Clang~ ~Clang~

He snapped back as the cutlery banged against the table and he realized for the first time in the morning the attention was already back to him. He blushed but before he could apologize, Professor Minerva's voice interrupted him.

"Mr. Potter... Follow me!"

Chapter 37: Harry's 'Detention'!

{Transfiguration Professor's Office, Hogwarts}

{2nd Sep 1991} 

{3rd Person POV}

~Tick~~Tick~~Tick~

Harry was nervous as he stared at Professor Minerva who calmly made a cup of tea. He wanted to apologize but the woman in front of him had an oppressive aura so he simply waited for things to calm down. The magical outburst he had was interesting, he couldn't even remember the time he had last gone through something like that.

"Here, drink this. This has a calming drought mixed in it which is a potion that will keep you from wrecking my office." Minerva spoke as she pushed the cup of tea in front of him.

Harry blushed as he accepted the cup and spoke, "I'm sorry about that..." His words fell short as he didn't know how to explain what happened.

Minerva nodded as she helped him, "What you went through was an explosion of accidental magic, admittedly on a larger scale than most but your mana reserves are far larger than any student in scale as well."

~Tak~~Tak~~Tak~

Harry nodded as he looked down at the brown fluid in his cup, he sipped the tea, and other than a slightly bitter taste the forceful sense of calm that returned to him did stop his nervous gittering.

Minerva sighed as Harry finally calmed down and the noise he was making with his legs stopped. She kind of felt a little pity for the poor boy, getting to know the story about his family on the front page of a newspaper would not be a good story.

"I can understand your confusion. To get to know more about what happened to your family this way justifies your anger. I was going to talk to you about it soon but I wanted you to settle in first." Minerva sighed, she looked at Harry's and noticed she had his undivided attention.

"I taught your Mother and Father, they were some of the finest students that I taught in my tenure as a Transfiguration Professor. Your Father, although a handful was a genius in Transfiguration, and although your Mother was a dab hand at it as well, her focus was more on Charms." Minerva spoke and saw that Harry had a small smile on his face, his tense shoulders had eased.

"So if you had any questions I could answer them for you." Minerva offered and Harry almost jumped at the chance to ask questions. His origin had always been the biggest mystery to him, having grown up without one, family was the most important thing to him. And it was this exact fact that caused him to change his question at the last possible moment.

"The newspaper talked a lot about Rigel Black and it mentioned Parselmouth being hereditary?..." Harry started but he left the question remain open-ended. Seeing the reaction of the whole school he didn't want to reveal that he was a Parselmouth as well. But the need to know if he had a close relative in this new unknown world was clawing at him.

"Rigel?" Minerva was surprised at the turn this conversation took but her face did contort a little after she thought about what she had read.

'Those idiots at The Daily Prophet would push him more to the conservative side.' Minerva's focus was on abolishing the Hogwarts education bill and for that, she needed Rigel's votes, especially since he now might hold more votes than before.

"No, don't buy into the ramblings of those idiots at The Daily Prophet. Yes, Parselmouth is a Hereditary trait but he isn't a Dark Lord that the papers claim to be..." She vented before she calmed down and elaborated. "I was the first one to meet Rigel just like Hagrid came to meet you. Rigel was living in a muggle orphanage and he knew nothing about the magical world. A second-year Slytherin student is way more likely to be the next Dark Lord than him." 

Minerva huffed as she mumbled a few more choice words that Harry didn't listen to, his thoughts were now focused on the information that she had revealed. Rigel Black was an orphan just like him and they might have shared much more in their parentage since the ability to talk to snakes was incredibly rare in the magical world.

With more questions about their connection than answers, Harry nodded absentmindedly at Prof. McGonagall. The older witch smiled at him and offered, "If you have any more questions then you can come to my office anytime. Right now let's go, the rest of the students would already be here." 

Harry nodded as he noticed that he could hear several mumblings coming from outside her office. Prof. McGonagall gave him a small piece of paper that was titled Timetable for the first years as she spoke, "Let's go or we're going to be late."

"Okay, Thank you, Prof. McGonagall." Harry thanked the older witch as he genuinely smiled at her as he put the timetable in his robes. Both of them walked to the door and when Harry opened it, he noticed that almost all of the students from Gryffindor and Slytherin were there.

He bowed his head as he swiftly made his way to the back row where Ron was madly waving his hand.

"You okay dude? Professor Pomphrey distributed our class schedule, I grabbed an extra for you and your bag." Ron spoke as he extended another timetable toward him and pointed to his bag that was lying on the table.

"Thanks," Harry spoke as he took the second timetable and put it into his robe pockets as well. He sat down on the table and looked at Prof. McGonagall who was looking at the time.

His eyes whirled around to the other end of the room as he stared at Rigel who was sitting with a pretty blond witch. He looked away seconds later as Ron started asking about what happened. As he gave him a short version of what happened his thought couldn't help but plan how he would talk to Rigel without being ostracized by his newly found friends.
