Chapter 2 – Xavier Flamel
Xavier Flamel is your average wizard from a proudly pureblood family. The
Flamel family is almost identical to the Malfoy family in terms of wealth
and influence. There is however one major difference, the Flamel's were on
the side of good in the fight against Voldemort. Xavier's father was the
only son of the famous Nicholas Flamel and thus the family has very close
ties with Dumbledore. Xavier's family had been so involved in the fight
that Xavier's father had sent him to Israel for schooling. So Xavier had
spent the last 4 years at a world-renowned academy for magical tuition.

His father's spies had somehow discovered that Voldemort was planning to
attack the academy and kill Xavier. So his father had decided that for the
safety of both Xavier and the Academy he should be sent to Hogwarts to be
under the care of Dumbledore.

Xavier had arrived back in England barely a week ago. Members of his
father's inner circle had escorted him directly to Hogwarts. They had
decided among them that a train journey would be too risky as the Hogwarts
express was only protected by a few muggle repellent spells.

After two days of getting lost in the huge castle the rest of the students
returned and Xavier was sorted (much to his embarrassment) with a large
number of first years. Much to everyone's surprise almost as soon as the
hat was placed on his head it sorted him into Slytherin. Over the past
three days he had spent much of his time in the library. It hadn't taken
him long to discover that the library was one of the few places in the vast
school where the Slytherins were unlikely to find him. Whilst in the
library he had developed a friendship with Harry Potter and his friends.

Now he had found Draco in the bathroom. As his eyes flicked between the
blood and the dagger he was reminded of his own past. Memories flooded his
head of when he was in third year at the Academy. He had slit his wrists
in an attempt to kill himself. Xavier believed that if he wasn't alive his
father could focus on the fight against Voldemort. He hadn't succeeded in
killing himself and against all intentions he had actually increased his
father's problems. As a result he had spent most of his fourth year in
various hospital's or with psychiatrists.

That was, he thought, the main reason he was now at Hogwarts. Dumbledore
was one of his father's closest friends and Xavier believed that he was
keeping an eye on him so that his father could maintain the fight against
Voldemort. Xavier was glad of the fresh start. At Hogwarts none of the
students knew about his past. This was a chance for Xavier to make new
friends and get on with his life. However it seemed that this was unlikely
to happen due to his being sorted into Slytherin.

Xavier was worried now. If Dumbledore noticed any sign of blood in the
bathroom he would instantly suspect another suicide attempt and Xavier
would be dragged back to the psychiatrists he had been so eager to leave.
