Chapter 10 The hooded figure
When they arrived at school they headed into the great hall and went to their respective tables. This was the one time they couldn't sit together because of the sorting. Headmaster Dippet gave his usual boring speech then they all began to eat. There was one empty chair up at the table and that's what many people were chatting about.
After ten minutes Tom felt full so he dropped his free hand on to Milly's lap. She grinned at him but kept eating. Tom looked down the table, they had a weird bunch. Half the Slytherins liked them but the others, friends of Ekis, and his followers, hated them. These were the people that they made fun of and that gave them a hard time. But most of the other houses occupants agreed with Tom's group. But there were a few kids that Tom's group had major trouble with. They were in 5th year with them and their names were Markus Isaac, and his girlfriend Manny (Manjwella) Balla, Tim 'Slim Jim' he was as skinny as a stick but could pack a punch, Bobby 'Bobble Balls' he slept with a lot of the Hogwarts girls, and Jaeda and Judea Viniferras, they were identical twins but boy and girl so they had their different looks.
The leader of their little group was Markus. He had a huge crush on Milly, which was half the reason why he hated Tom. Manny hated them all for her boyfriend not liking her and only her. Markus always told Tom that Milly would be his one day. He was gifted at potions and he was one of Proff. Snape's favorite students. That's what scared Milly caused she knew her father would try to set her up with him, since her father knew how much she hated him and loved Tom. She tried not to let it bother her as she only saw her father in class and little elsewhere. During summer vacations she'd go to Justin's house with the rest of them. Except for this last summer when her father made her come home first. She knew if she fought him it would be worse so she went. Half way through summer, after not hearing from her at all, she appeared on Justin's doorstep crying and a bruised beaten up mess. Tom had sent a howler toher dad but her dad responded by sending one back saying that if Tom continued to date his daughter than they both would end up dead.
Tom looked up at the high table to see Snape glaring at them. He returned the look. But Snap's eyes left his and moved towards the doors to the great hall and an evil smile lit his lips. Tom turned towards the doors to see them opened wide and a hooded figure standing between them. Other people were starting to turn their heads now. The man removed his cloak, to cheers of most of the Slytherins that went along with Ekis's old ideas. Tom felt sick and quickly looked at the rest of them who looked pale and sick too.
