Hogwarts Ten Year Reunion

Chapter 7 ~ In The Castle


Professor Severus Snape looked out the window of his office to see the carriages making their way up to the castle. He swept down his stairs, and down to the Entrance Hall, where he would meet his former students.



He decided to decorate the Great Hall, so while passing it, with a quick wave of his wand, the Great Hall looked certainly like it was about to host a reunion. There was a large banner bearing the letters "Welcome Class of 1997!" and a table with food, drinks, and various other decorations.



Five minutes passed and soon the Entrance Hall was crouded with former Hogwarts Students. Standing in one corner, were three very familiar people. These three people were none other than Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle.



'Father will not be impressed with my decision to come here.' Draco Malfoy was saying.



'I thought it was his idea for us to come in the first place and look out for any potentials.' Crabbe said. Over the ten years, Crabbe and Goyle had become more literate, and were speaking at a level which they should have reached twelve years ago. But hey, progress is progress.


'Of corse it was not his idea.' Draco spat. 'He would be not impressed if he knew we were here right now, he probably already knows, he always knows what's going on,'



'Your father is a strange person, especially since Voldemort's demice,' Goyle said, twiddling his thumbs.



'That is quite obvious.' Draco said in a hushed whisper. 'But would you be so kind as to not say that name out loud,' He continued. 'We don't want any suspecting Auror's finding out that we're former Death Eaters,' Draco motioned to his forearm, hidden by his coat. Crabbe and Goyle nodded. Even though the Dark Lord was gone, the mark remained.



It was at that moment which Snape decided to speak. He cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.



'Welcome class of 1997, to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I, Professor Severus Snape am the current Headmaster of the school. You may remember me as your old Potions Professor.' He sneered at some random former students who weren't in Slytherin. 'To continue, everyone must collect a name tag, and forward in to the Great Hall,' Snape finished.



There was a small table outside the doors to the Great Hall. Draco, Crabbe and Goyle walked over to the table, and grabbed their name tags before entering the Great Hall.



'It's almost exactly as I remember it.' Draco said.



'Yeah, except there's all these un-necessary decorations. It's only a reunion, I reckon Snape's gone prissy,' Crabbe said, looking at the large cheesey banner.



'I wonder if we'll see any old aquaintances from Slytherin.' Draco wondered out loud. Crabbe pointed at a girl.



'There's Pansy Parkinson, I haven't seen her since she got attacked by that Lethifold! I thought she died surely, actually, quite a shame that she didn't die,' Goyle grunted. Draco and Crabbe looked at Pansy. She looked run down, and over worked, with bags under her eyes.



'Pansy! Hey Pansy! Over here.' Draco shouted. She looked at the three ex-Slytherins, and hurried over, recognising them straight away. Draco's hair still shimmered silver, as did his eyes. He was a lot taller, and more buff than he was in his Hogwarts days. Crabbe and Goyle pretty much looked the same, like hired goons. They both wore tacky suits and looked suspiciously like body guards.



'Good evening Draco, Vincent, Gregory. How are you all this lovely night?' Pansy said, in a fake sweet voice.



'Been better,' Crabbe said.

'I was good until I saw you,' Goyle muttered, Draco gave him a stern glance.



'You are an outcast Miss Parkinson, you're the idiot who decided not to follow -' He glanced around to make sure no one was listening, '- Voldemort when you had the chance,' Draco hissed, Pansy gave him a stern glare.



'I didn't want to get caught up in that stupid war, with all those Auror's crawling around, and more coming every year, I was the sensible one,' Pansy spat.



'You are the most spineless person I have ever come across,' Draco said, in a harsh tone to match Pansy's.

'You are the most insane person I have come across, don't talk to me ever again, Malfoy,' With those words, Pansy stalked off and began talking to Millicent Bullistrode over by the food tables.

~* Edited Chapter 7, I took out the part about Lucius being the new Dark Lord, some people didn't agree with that, so I changed it. *~
