Slytherin

Tom POV

I was elated when I heard that Adele was in Slytherin. At least now I had a close friend in my house. I liked my house; everyone around me greeted me with respect. I learnt that I was a descendent from Salazar Slytherin. That would help me in my search on who my parents were.

"Who is Salazar Slytherin?" I asked but not talking to any particular person.

A boy with blonde hair replied, "He was the founder of Slytherin House. He was a Parselmouth; he could talk to snakes. You'll learn more about him when you start your lessons. I'm surprised you don't know who he is, seeing that you're his direct descendent." Instantly, I hated that boy. He actually doubted my intelligence. At least that answered my question that I could talk to snakes while Adele could not.

"I'm Lucius Malfoy, by the way," The blonde boy added.

"So, you excited for classes to begin?" Adele asked. I shrugged and she talked to a girl sitting opposite her.

Adele POV

I noticed that the people in my house were not very nice to the other houses. They jeered and looked down on others. They had evil looks on their faces; they were arrogant and proud as well. Somehow they reminded me of Tom when he was 'rude'.

The girl I had just talked to was not very friendly. She was really snobbish and often boasted about how rich her family was. Apparently, her name was Eireen Tara Gallagher. She was an Irish but moved to Buckingham when she was very young. She had light brown curly hair, tied into a ponytail and green eyes.

I decided to continue eating my food quietly. When the feast ended, we left for our common rooms.
