Chapter 114: Chapter 112 – New Students (1)

September 1st, 1994. 

Hogwarts - Great Hall.

At the Slytherin table in the Great Hall, Asterion was chatting with his group, a calm and serene expression on his face. He lifted his coffee cup to his lips, showing a satisfied look.

"I'm excited for the new students," Tracey said next to Theodore, her words echoed by several people at the table.

"Astoria is finally joining Slytherin," Daphne added with a smile rarely seen by others. The thought of attending Hogwarts with her adorable sister was finally becoming a reality.

Then, Daphne's gaze fell on Draco, like a queen looking at her subject—sharp and powerful. "If I hear that you did anything to Astoria, believe me when I say you might not have descendants in the future, Heir Malfoy."

Faced with that look and those harsh words, Draco swallowed hard and gave a rather nervous smile. He clenched his legs tightly together while nodding repeatedly. Theodore and Blaise couldn't help but shrink back at the cruel words of the teenager and looked at Draco with pity.

Dorea, who was beside Daphne, didn't even glance at her brother. Asterion noticed this but said nothing. Anyone could see that the twins were fighting.

Suddenly, Daphne felt eyes on her. Turning her face, she saw a pair of incredibly blue eyes staring at her intensely.

Rose Potter.

Daphne's lips curved into a smile. Although she couldn't beat the girl, she could make her feel something much more painful than the bitter taste of defeat. Under the surprised eyes of everyone at the table, the Slytherin queen sat in her special seat, which was her boyfriend's lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Then, with the wide eyes of the Slytherin table watching, Daphne lifted Asterion's chin and claimed the lips that were rightfully hers while looking at Rose with a sarcastic gaze.

She knew Rose liked Asterion, so even if she couldn't win against Rose in a fight, the emotional damage she caused the girl by doing this was far greater than any physical harm.

*Crack!*

The fork and knife in Rose's hands snapped as if someone had broken a thin tree branch. Gritting her teeth, Rose had never held back so much from casting a Red at someone as she did at that moment.

Especially seeing that victorious, sarcastic look, as if to say, "Take a good look, because it's the only thing you'll ever get to do."

"Rose?" Hermione, sitting next to her friend, looked at Rose in confusion and glanced at the broken cutlery with a bit of pity. Seeing Rose not responding, Hermione followed her gaze and saw Daphne and Asterion kissing publicly in the Great Hall.

Hermione's mouth dropped open in shock. "Don't they know it's forbidden to do that in public!?" she said incredulously, watching the intense kiss unfold. Her cheeks turned a rosy shade of embarrassment.

 

Hermione had to take a sip of her juice to calm down after witnessing scenes she had only read about in her period romances, but Rose's next words made the young brunette spit out everything she was drinking.

"Pff!"

"I've decided. I'm going to separate Asterion from that snake he calls a girlfriend. As his cousin, I have a responsibility to think about his well-being." Rose spoke each word through clenched teeth, the scene before her making her feel as if her heart was being bitten by several snakes at once, a sensation of anxiety and breathlessness she had never experienced before.

Hermione wiped her mouth and looked incredulously at her friend, unable to believe how innocent Rose was in not recognizing her own jealousy.

"Don't get involved, Rose. You'll only start a war you don't want to fight." Hermione tried to reason with Rose, but seeing the determined look in her best friend's eyes, she could only give up for now.

"War? That's fine. Then let's go to war." Rose murmured, looking defiantly at Daphne still sitting on Asterion's lap, who returned her gaze with the same arrogant look.

The two young women exchanged glances and smiled amicably at each other, as if nothing had happened between them.

"What was that?" With Daphne still on his lap, Asterion asked, confused, holding his fiancée's waist.

"Nothing, I just felt like kissing you." Daphne looked at him innocently and responded in a sweet tone. Her glance shifted to the Gryffindor table, where Rose's furious face made her feel like she was floating on cloud nine. She had never been more satisfied in her life than she was today.

Dorea and Tracey looked bitterly at the couple, their expressions tinged with resentment. The worst pain for a friend is to see their friend dating while they remain alone in a corner, watching everything with envy. That was the situation the two young women were currently in.

"Professor McGonagall is looking at our table with a glare that could kill someone," Theodore said, pointing to the teachers' table, where the Transfiguration professor was glaring at the Slytherin table with a sharp and very severe look.

Daphne just smiled gently at the professor and acted as if nothing had happened. She sat back down on the bench next to Asterion, intertwining her arms with his.

 Although still dissatisfied with the situation, Professor McGonagall decided to address it later. She left the teachers' table and walked toward the exit of the Great Hall, ready to fetch the new students for this year.

"She's definitely going to punish us with a lot of homework," Tracey murmured with a disheartened look on her face. The memory of the amount of homework she had last year sent a chill down her spine.

 "Don't be dramatic. She would have done that even without any punishment," Dorea responded with a very cold attitude, almost like Narcissa. After the attack on Hogwarts last year, all the teachers had doubled the amount of exercises and lessons, and everyone was exhausted from such a grueling routine.

Many newcomers were dissatisfied with these changes, especially the Gryffindor members, but many also didn't complain, feeling that they were getting stronger with each week of classes since last year.

Suddenly, the doors of the Great Hall opened, and Professor McGonagall, dressed in her classic emerald robes, entered the hall, followed by a long line of new students.

Daphne soon spotted her sister, Astoria, among the descendants of other noble houses, mainly talking to another teenager with long black hair and red eyes...

Red eyes…?

Red eyes!!!

Daphne's eyes widened as she saw the familiar red eyes on the girl next to her sister.

"By Morgana's saggy bosom, what is happening?" Daphne murmured, looking incredulously at the pale-skinned girl with long black hair and red eyes.

The girl's eyes also caught the attention of many people, both at the students' tables and the teachers' table. Dumbledore looked at Asterion and then at the girl with a puzzled expression. Both bore striking similarities, almost as if they were twins.

Chapter 115: Chapter 113 – New Students (2)

Seeing Daphne's reaction, Asterion grew curious and followed her gaze. His eyes almost immediately fell on the girl with black hair and red eyes. He blinked a few times, trying to understand if he was seeing correctly, but even after blinking, the girl remained there.

Frowning, Asterion tried to sense any cursed spirit within the girl, but found no trace of negative magical energy in her. The girl definitely didn't possess the Black Family Technique - [Creation and Manipulation of Cursed Spirits] - he would have sensed any cursed spirit in her.

But her features practically screamed Black from every angle; she even had certain similarities to him.

Daughter of Sirius?

This was the only possibility Asterion could think of upon seeing the girl next to his sister-in-law.

Professor McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat on the stool. The hat, in turn, began to sing a song about how amazing and handsome it was.

If there was truly anyone arrogant at Hogwarts, it was the Sorting Hat.

Looking helplessly at the supreme creation of the Hogwarts founders, Minerva took a deep breath and focused. She picked up a parchment and unfolded it, reading the first name in her mind. She opened her mouth and spoke aloud.

"Weasley, Ginevra!"

At the professor's call, a red-haired girl with a shy expression stepped out of the crowd of first-years and quickly reached the chair, sitting down.

Not even five seconds passed before the Sorting Hat announced its decision.

"Slytherin!"

The Weasley twins' mouths dropped open in shock. They looked at each other and asked simultaneously.

"Did you hear that right, Fred?"

"Did you hear that right, George?"

They continued to stare at each other in shock before turning to see their sister, still stunned in the chair, the color drained from her face.

Even Minerva looked at the Weasley girl with a surprised expression but didn't show much importance to it. Compared to Sirius Black being sorted into Gryffindor, this was less shocking.

"Miss Weasley, please proceed to your designated house table." Professor McGonagall spoke in a serious and slightly reprimanding tone, seeing the girl still stunned in the chair.

Ginny nodded and climbed down from the chair, walking to the Slytherin table with stiff steps while murmuring repeatedly, "I'm dead. Mom and Dad are going to kill me."

The Slytherins, although surprised by the arrival of the youngest Weasley, all clapped with great elegance, leaving Ginny even more shocked by the unexpectedly warm reception.

She had expected disdainful looks or insulting words, but looking around, everyone seemed not to care much about her arrival.

Asterion nodded in satisfaction. It seemed his words at the beginning of last year had had a positive effect, especially after the invasion of Hogwarts, where the Slytherin students had defended the school alongside all the other houses. This had restored the resentment against Slytherin to mere rivalries among the four houses.

"Welcome, Miss Weasley. I hope your stay in Slytherin is pleasant," Daphne greeted the red-haired girl with an elegant and kind look, putting the youngest Weasley completely at ease.

"Thank you, Miss Greengrass," Ginny replied with a very flattered tone. Even without attending Hogwarts, Ginny had heard about Daphne from her brothers—the beautiful queen of Slytherin. She completely agreed with their praises about Daphne's beauty. She truly looked like a Greek goddess.

"Hello, I'm Tracey Davis. I hope we get along well," Tracey laughed and greeted the newcomer after Daphne.

"Dorea Malfoy," Dorea said curtly and nodded amiably while remaining silent.

"Theodore Nott, the most handsome guy in Slytherin," Theodore introduced himself, raising his hand in the air.

"HAHAHA~" The entire Slytherin table laughed while Theodore showed clear dissatisfaction with everyone's laughter.

"Dare you point to anyone more handsome than me!" he said with a mock furious expression.

Everyone pointed to Asterion, Draco, and Blaise.

Theodore pretended to clutch his chest in pain and collapsed back onto the bench, powerless.

Everyone laughed at Theodore's miserable appearance, including Asterion himself.

Ginny also laughed and looked around at everyone laughing. For a moment, she didn't think it was so bad to be sorted into Slytherin. No one seemed like the people-eating demons her mother had warned her about while she was growing up.

At the Gryffindor table, seeing their sister laughing and talking with other Slytherin girls, Fred and George's faces relaxed. As long as their sister could be happy, they didn't care if she was in Gryffindor or Slytherin.

Ron, on the other hand, looked angrily at Ginny getting along with the snakes, as if he were looking at a traitor who had killed their parents. "I'm going to tell Mom and Dad."

Fred and George heard this and looked at their younger brother with dissatisfaction.

"No, you're not. If we find out you told," Fred said, and George finished the sentence, "Don't expect to sleep at night, because we'll be playing a lot of pranks on you,"

"Foolish," said Fred. "Stupid," said George.

"Brother," they finished together.

Ron's face turned as red as his hair from anger, but the young Gryffindor lion remained silent under the intense gaze of the twins. Hermione, who was listening nearby, looked at Ron with disgust and turned away, fearing that even looking at him would dirty her eyes. Ron's behavior only confirmed her opinion of him: he was a spoiled and idealistic boy.

As Hermione criticized all of Ron's flaws in her mind, Professor McGonagall continued her list calmly, calling out student after student.

"Greengrass, Astoria." Her loud voice echoed throughout the Great Hall.

A thirteen-year-old girl with very pale skin and blonde hair stepped forward with calm steps and a confident smile on her lips, unaffected by the thousands of eyes falling on her.

Seeing the girl sit in the chair, Professor McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat on her head, and it took less than five seconds for the hat to make its decision.

"Slytherin!"

Daphne's smile widened as she clapped, followed by the rest of Slytherin house.

Astoria also smiled happily and walked over to the Slytherin table, where she sat next to Ginny Weasley.

"Welcome to Slytherin, Astoria," Daphne greeted her sister with a tone almost bursting with pride. It was clear that she was extremely pleased to have her sister with her in the best house at Hogwarts.

Astoria was equally delighted to be in Slytherin; she would have felt isolated in any other house. As she greeted everyone, her eyes fell on her new friend from the Hogwarts Express. Although she didn't care about the girl's family background, she knew the chances of her being sorted into Slytherin were slim at best.

Asterion's eyes fell on the last girl who had not yet been sorted. Looking into her crimson eyes, he swore they seemed familiar somehow.

Professor McGonagall looked at the final student and was surprised. She glanced at the parchment and her expression froze upon seeing the name.

She rigidly looked at Dumbledore in the main seat for a moment before announcing the girl's name loudly.

"Riddle, Ophelia."

The smile on Dumbledore's lips vanished for a moment, but he quickly resumed his usual calm demeanor.

Asterion's gaze, on the other hand, turned icy cold.

"Slytherin."

The Sorting Hat's voice echoed in Asterion's mind. He finally understood why the girl's eyes seemed so familiar.

This girl was Voldemort's daughter!
