Soon enough the feast was over and the houses were shuffled outside to begin the trek to their dorms: Hufflepuff, then Gryffindor and Slytherin, and lastly Ravenclaw.
As I was being filed out, I saw a commotion outside amongst the keye boy and another Slytherin- Roland Grayback, I believe It was- were getting into an altercation.
"American lout! You don't deserve to be here! Go back to ilvernmorny!"
"I do so deserve to be here! I have dual citizenship! I received a letter like you did!"
"Shut up, halfbreed! you do not deserve to be here! let me guess? you're also only half wizard!" spat Grayback.
"Greyback, is it?" I interceded. "You have no right calling people halfbreed... if what I heard of your dad is true. Is that not right, wolfspawn, hmm?"
"Shove off, Faust!"
"It is obviously not his fault he's an imbecile, but there remains no excuse no probable cause insult a wizard's-pure blood or not-honor." I calmly replied.
"I can do what I want!"
"Your dad thought so, too. Now where is he? oh...yes...disdained, isolated, and imprisoned. Tell me does the big bad wolf write his cub?"
Grayback charged me, but with a bang he was hanging upside down by his ankle, his pudgy face and cold blue eyes covered by greasy blonde hair.
Sure enough Professor Longbottom, Head of Ravenclaw house came trouncing over her kind grey eyes and vibrantly blonde hair emanating concern. She was joined by the corpulant and well dressed man with the walrus mustache that could only be Professor Slughorn, Deputy Headmaster and Head of Slytherin House.
"A word of advice," I hissed to Alec Keye. "Don't wear your emotions on your sleeve, it makes you a target...and you cannot afford to be a target."
"Mr. Faust," Professor Long bottom called. "Did you curse this boy?"
"Technically, professor, I jinxed him. And yes I did. Hye insulted my honor, my intelligence, and my pride." I replied with a side glance at Alec. "With which I calmly retorted equal obscenities...he charged, I reacted."
"Clever boy," slughorn chortled. "But detention this early...? Are you certain you're a Ravenclaw?"
"If I wasn't it'd be a great inconvenience...I've already been sorted."
