In a society where some are superior to others and people are treated like animals just because of a bloodline, it is hard to imagine that a relationship could exist between two sworn enemies who hated each other for this exact reason of high class-manship and what was considered appropriate. We first see this clash of interests in Shakespeare's play 'Romeo and Juliet' in which the two lovers were born of rivaled parents and had to fight to stay together Battling warlords, soldiers, and suicide, they made it through. Of course, this story has nothing to do with Romeo and Juliet and will probably contain more sex but just for literature's sake, Harry''s ordeal was very relatable.
Harry Potter attended a school that you wouldn't believe existed even if it was written directly in your trusty history book or if you're a fan of bloody goblin rebellions, shopping in Diagon Alley, or evil bake sales. I'm sorry to say that this school, did indeed, exist and if you came to me with the excuse that you searched for it and had no luck, then I would tell you that this school has it's ways of hiding from unwanted eyes like yourself and many others before your.
Of course, you probably already know that school of which I'm speaking because you would not be reading this right now unless you were a fan of goblin rebellions, shopping in Diagon Alley, and evil bake sales so I'll just get on with the story.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was a place where magic beyond measure and heroism beyond compare could be found but it was what went on behind closed doors that was significant.
Hundreds of hormonal teenagers getting into mischief left and right, potions accidents, students shagging like mad, and rivalries between the four houses that never seemed to be settled.
The most type-worthy of these rivalries was the one that went on between the notorious Gryffindor and Slytherin houses and this will be the one that will prove to be the hardest to conquer.
The aforementioned Harry Potter was a resident of Gryffindor house and as such he was a brave student who would do anything to protect his friends. Also characteristic of a Gryffindor, he despised the inhabitants of Slytherin house. He hated them not for their cunning or ambition, for he too had some very Slytherin-like qualities . In fact, he had almost been chosen to be a part of the green and silver clad pupils but thought better of it, landing him in the position he was today. No, the reason that he hated the Slytherins was because most, if not all, of the residents of Slytherin were of Death Eater decent.
If you don't know what a Death Eater is, you're stupid. Oh, who am I kidding, you ARE stupid.
Anyway, back to the story. Harry hated the descendents of the Death Eaters because he knew that they would turn out exactly like their parents and become murderous lunatics that would soon be the end of him and his friends. As such, he did not bother to converse with them, let alone befriend them. But once in a while, when a certain blonde boy decided he was going to get snarky, Harry abandoned his position as a loyal conservative and put up his guard against the ones that haunted his dreams.
When these occasional disputes did occur, the teachers of this magical school made sure to end them quickly but when they took place where no teacher was present, things got a bit more nasty.
The last time that Harry was in close proximity to Draco Malfoy, they both ended up in the hospital wing, Harry with a twitching left foot and Draco with an oozing right ear.
Now, as the war with Voldemort was over and the Slytherins seemed to be unhappy about being overpowered, these fights seemed to be occurring more often than ever before.
The intelligent little devils that they are, the professors of said school thought in necessary to dissolve the fights and have everyone in the school be friends, or at least acquaintances, once and for all.
It was a mystery to Harry how they planned to solve what resulted from hundreds of years of fighting but it was made apparent the very next morning. All the students of Hogwarts, especially the ones of Gryffindor and Slytherin were in for a very unpleasant surprise. . .
A/N: Don't say I didn't warn you. . . Anyway, the rest of the story is going to be a lot better (and a lot longer), this was just a sort of thing to get a bit of background for the story even though it didn't turn out well at all. Well, hopefully, I didn't scare you off. . . tell me it was awful if you must, I have no self-esteem left to lose anyway. . .
Note: The thing about the evil bake sales was from Cassandra Claire's 'Draco Dormiens', a worthwhile piece of fiction that I could never hope to
