Harry Potter and the
Heir of Slytherin
Chapter 1 – New Boy
Third year started like any other. The students came in and represented them selves and then the sorting but the feast was postponed for a minuet by the Headmaster Dumbledore.
As he stood everyone fell into silent confusion. "Welcome to the new and welcome back to the familiar but as you all may have noticed this is unusual in its self but I have another announcement to make we have a new third year student here that has not been sorted yet. May you all bid good welcome to Vex Riddle!"
There was a silence of confused terror because no one had noticed before but there stood behind the headmasters chair an unmistakable thirteen year old boy. He looked strangely comforted by the shadows and hesitantly stepped out of the dark so everyone could see him.
He looked a little more petite then the rest of the boys at thirteen but he looked the age none the less he had unruly jet black hair that swayed into his face giving him a more softer look but under the bangs that covered his forehead you could just see two shaped eyebrows that were laid above long thick eyelashes that covered piercing electric green eyes that seemed to be endless.
His clothes he wore were simple school clothes for the shirt and trousers until you saw a black waistcoat that hugged his figure it was covered in white swirls that looked like smoke in the light and the black cloak falling from his shoulders seemed to fly around in the shadows.
In his hand he held a wand. The wand itself was beautiful looking with the dark wood and silver hairlines from the handle. But when viewed it seemed to have ebb shadows as it seemed to come off as a black cloud of power just like its master.
Dumbledore himself picked up the sorting hat. He looked stiff but the twinkle in his eyes was still there as he viewed the boy. Vex glided forward and silently sat down on the stool. Dumbledore placed the sorting hat on his head and the sorting hat was about to speak when it voice seemed to fail it.
Dumbledore was about to step forward until the sorting hat started to speak.
"Difficult very difficult, lots of courage I see. Not a bad mind either but there's something else. But were to put you? You're too against work for Ravenclaw and more of a leader so Hufflepuff is not for you… Your bravery shall come forth but you're cunning too so it better be….SLYTHERIN!" The boy picked the hat from his head and gently set it down.
The Slytherin table was roaring with triumph as the boy went to sit down next to a smug looking Draco Malfoy. They silenced as the boy seemed to shake every hand in reach.
Across the room the golden trio sat and stared in shock.
"How could Dumbledore let someone like THAT join Hogwarts?" Ron gaped at the new boy from across the room.
"Im not worried about that didn't you hear his name?" Hermione was glancing nervously at the boy.
Neville and Ron both looked at each other as if trying to recall something "No!" they chorused.
"Why would we want to?" Neville asked as if there was something sour on his tongue.
"His name was Vex Riddle….RIDDLE!" Hermione tried putting emphasise into her words but they both had blank faces until they heard Ginny gasp from across the table and saw her terrified eyes dart across the room.
"Riddle?" she asked Hermione "As in Tom Riddle?" Hermione nodded.
Everything seemed to click. Everyone who heard looked over to the Slytherin table to see the boy not facing the other way but facing his two eyes strait at Ginny as if trying to pierce through her.
"But how could he be related to You-Know-Who?" Ron asked as he flinched and turned his back on the boy.
Hermione looked down in thought then all of a sudden the light bulb in her head switched on "He's You-Know-Who's Son!"
Chapter 2 – The Slytherin Secret
Vex awoke from a peaceful sleep, his head heavy and eyes half open. He got up and showered. By the time he came out of the bathroom everyone else was awake. He reached his bed and put on a pair on black boxers. With a sigh he slumped down on the bed again.
"Bloody Hell Vex, you aren't a morning person are you!" He heard the familiar teasing drawl from across the room and threw his pillow in the direction. To hear the soft thump as the pillow hit its target and a smirk spread across his face as a grumbling voice was hissing insults at him.
He looked up to see a feather covered Draco Malfoy with a disgruntled look on his face.
"Your right Draco im not and by the looks of it neither are you!" Vex got up and dressed in uniform. As they headed down to breakfast Draco was talking more and more. He couldn't understand it his friend had been going on for fifteen minuets without taking a breath… How could he do that?
When they reached the great hall the students there had got there lesson times and the others just picked there's up.
Draco came back from Snape with a horrified expression on his face.
"What?" Vex asked
"The first lesson we have is Care of Magical Creatures with that oaf Hagrid!"
"Ah, I see…so who's Hagrid?"
