Chapter 20: Ch 20: Slytherin

The shorting ceremony finally ended. Draco, Crabbe and Goyle were all in Slytherin along with Lorion.

Professor Dumbledore stood up and said "Let the feast begin" and magically, the empty table was suddenly filled with lots of food.

As the students were eating happily, the famous "Ghosts of Hogwarts" started appearing. Sir Nicholas was the one who left the most everlasting expression on Lorion. This ghost was literally almost headless, with his head just slightly joined at the end. He even showed it to all the Houses, as if it was great honor.

Finally, after the feast, the Slytherin house prefect Gemma Farley took the students to the back to the Slytherin common room. To enter the room, the password didn't need to be asked by any portrait in the wall. Rather, the password was just said in front of a stench of a damped stone wall. When Gemma said "Pureblood" a concealed stone door slide aside, leaving a rectangular hole in the wall.

  The Slytherin common room was in the dungeons of Hogwarts Castle and underneath the Black Lake. Because of this, the light in the common room was green. The room was elegantly decorated and there were little furniture by the fireplace.

Gemma welcomed the new students of Slytherin. She informed that the luggage of each student was already placed in their dorm. Unlike Gryffindor, Slytherin dorms were not shared among students. Everyone had their own rooms, which was greatly convenient for Lorion.

After the official announcements were over, finally, all the seniors turned their attention towards the most important topic at hand. The surname Gaunt was of great significance to Slytherin.

Finally, a senior named Terence Higgs came forward and asked as politely as possible "Excuse me, Mr. Gaunt, are you a half blood?"

Before Lorion could even answer, Draco started talking "How can that be? How can the brother of Draco Malfoy not be a Pure Blood? Everyone doesn't need to doubt. Lorion is indeed the last descendent of the House of Gaunt, the Pure Blood family whose ancestor was Salazar Slytherin himself! Lorion even accepted my dad as his Godfather!"

Draco started bragging again and others surrounded him immediately. They looked at Lorion just as the whole school looked at Harry. Finally Lorion understood the pain of being stared at, like a rare beast of the zoo. He made some polite comments and quickly wanted to go to his room.

After wishing a good night to Draco, Crabbe, Goyle and the seniors, Lorion quickly escaped. When he reached his room, Lorion saw Max, who became bigger, coiling around his trunks and sleeping happily on his bed,. A gentle smile crept at Lorion's face. He didn't wake Max up, but took the book on Basic Potions and started reading it.

After reading a while, Lorion went to bed. It was finally a new beginning for him and he would do his best to leave his name in the annals of history just like Dumbledore and Voldemort.
