Chapter 21
In the Hallways.
"Way to go James. Get yourself called back for detention." Heather berated James.
"He never said that it was detention. And he didn't take off any points." Alice pointed out
Heather ignored what Alice said. "Though I don't know why he called Hugo back. It's not like you put beetle eyes in my potion." She gave James another look.
"He thinks you helped me. He obviously knows my dad and I've been told by him that he was rubbish at potions, still is." Hugo finished matter-of-factly
"He's not biased is he." Heather said sarcastically. "And what this about his club?"
"The slug club?" Hugo answered her.
"The what club?"
"It is a play on his name." Alice assured her
"So what is it, the most biased and slimy get to be in the club?"
"Oh no, quite the opposite. He chooses the best and the brightest." Said Alice
"In other words the most likely to become famous for something." Added Hugo
"He's had quite a good record too. Gwenog Jones of the Hollyhead Harpies, more than one auror. Including both my parents." James was counting other people of in his fingers. "Hugo's mom and my dads mom were both in the club."
They were almost at their next class when Hugo said "He's had some dark spots to though. One of he's most famous members was Tom Riddle." The others nodded solemnly. Heather was intrigued. The hat said she was like Tom Riddle. But she had never heard of him in conversation until now.
"What was he famous for?" Heather was fascinated?
"He was Voldemort." James stated matter-of-factly
Heather blanched and let out a whimper. The others didn't notice because the hall was crowded. Alice was the one that noticed that Heather was still at the corner clutching the wall for support. Heather was sure that she would faint if she let go of the wall. This meant that James and Hugo practically carried her to the hospital wing after getting the directions. The three around Heather were very concerned. Was she sick they didn't know. She had certainly not reacted like this any other time they had used Voldmorts name. They thought she might be allergic to something from potions class.
