''So Severus, you actually went to Hogwarts? My parents say that school for the mentally retarded'' a bunch of the Wampus students leaned over and began to talk to him. The tables where from Wampus, Horned Serpent, Pukwudgie and thunderbird. Apparently everyone wanted to be near the Horned Serpents.
''Yeah I heard that Dumbledore is really old!''
''And wrinkly!'' someone shouted over by Thunderbird and they all broke into a fit of laughter. Severus looked around nervously, he had never been surrounded by people who were eager to engage with him. Of course he knew sooner or later they would come to dislike him but for now he took in the attention he had craved for years. But now he began to feel a bit annoyed as they kept insulting Hogwarts.
''don't listen to them Severus, they're just a bunch of idiots'' Severus raised a brow as he kept eating.
''how do you know?'' he asked at worse moment as she stuffed her mouth with mashed potatoes. She raised up a finger then two, three, she cocked her hand to the side as if waving before swallowing.
''Sorry, what did you say again I forgot'' she grinned at him.
''How do you know about Hogwarts?''
''well both my dad went there for 3 years before being transferred to Durmstrang and my mom went to Beauxbatons , nasty French school to be truthful…'' she played around with her spaghetti , staring down at it , Severus ignored the others and watched her. Suddenly she smiled.
''But it's funny you know, cause my dad is British, though he went to a Norwegian school, he speaks English and lives in Germany while having a French last name!'' She let out one of her explosive laughter's, or a mix of snorts and wheezes which to be truthful was a bit contagious.
''Children, children please!'' a grumpy rough voice spoke up loudly and the hall went silent, everyone turned to look over and saw William standing beside the same honey lemon robe colored lady. She had short curled brown hair and a soft smile, her eyes twinkled lightly behind her large round glasses making her look owl like and she had a nicer calmer look she could make Dumbledore run for his money.
''Please I would like to introduce you all to this new lovely year, come on Ilvermorny let me hear a…''
''YEAH!'' everyone screamed at the top of their lungs pumping their fists in the air, they all laughed loudly but the hall was hushed quickly.
''Yes I know, we have lots of bunched up school spirit don't we Ilvermorny students? but this year we're going a bit more serious, nobody shall be allowed near the Snake tree or outside the school grounds into the forest bellow the mountain, there has been a spotting of hide-behinds so with that Semper respicere post tergum '' she opened her arms and small fireworks whizzed through the air around the enchanted ceiling made to look like a beautiful sky with a flock of birds and clouds that turned into shapes of animals. As the food disappeared the students were ushered out by the head of houses, their teacher Mr. Kidwell was a strange man with slicked backed blonde hair, and he was a lanky man and the potions teacher.
''Come on! tomorrow we don't have classes since its technically the first day of school but the next day we get to classes and get settled so tomorrow I'll show you the grounds !'' as she walked he watched how her dark hair bounced up and down with every step. Her hands where tucked into her pockets, uniform already a mess to look at almost worse than Potter or Black.
''what about wands?'' Severus raised a brow.
''Well you see first years stayed back right? well they get to technically choose a wand that's made for them and their drawn too , while we already have our wands awaiting at our dormitory's that that 9th years pass out , you already had yours from England so you don't have to go to the process…''
''and your wand, what is it made out of'' She was silent for a moment.
''I guess the same stuff as everyone else's you know, I'm not anything particularly special, I'm just Ophelia Asta'' She smiled till someone shoved her over.
''Yeah Ophelia Asta La Vista and her kooky dad and pure-blood crazy mom!'' A boy pried in grinning and wrapping a friendly arm around Severus's shoulder ''don't even talk to her, you know her she's probably as crazy as her father '' Severus sneered and the boy gave Ophelia a dirty look.
''I heard her parents are cousins!'' Some of those nearby snickered and whispered in their own little groups while Ophelia looked down angrily and whispered to herself ''2nd cousins twice remove'' Severus couldn't help but let out a soft snort.
''Don't worry , most pure bloods in England are practically cousins , once , twice and three times removed they'll do anything to keep the purity'' He crossed his arms as he saw Ophelia's surprised look , she smiled wildly at him showing the little slit separating her front teeth , it was funny and childlike.
''Oh come on Severus, then what are you? Are both your parents cousins too?'' the boy let go of him and gave a sly smile challenging the new boy.
''No, my fathers a muggle, my mother's from the line of Merlin or rather known as Prince'' he felt a twinge of pride stating the facts. ''I've already inherited everything'' Before the boy could say anything more Ophelia grabbed Severus's arm and pulled him away faster into the HS dormitory.
''Come on hurry Severus, can I call you Sev? Okay I'll call you Sev'' she reached her hand up in the air as a wand came flying her way and she caught it in midair. It was a strange wand, it was elegant and slim and looked like tree branches reaching up to the tip, it was dark but the hilt looked like silver with a large green stone in the middle. The end was a bit crooked. He looked around and saw the other students seemed to have either brown or black plain branch looking wands.
''You're wand's a bit strange isn't it?'' He raised a brow and her face went completely red.
''It's my Pa's'' she grinned '' you know how he got it? His parents had sent him here first before going with Hogwarts because of its history, he saw the tree outside , it was beautiful and grand so he conjured an axe and began to hack away all night , the Pukwudgie tried to stop him but…he used dark magic to cast them away till he had enough wood to make a wand , he finally broke a ring of his family heirloom , he killed a boom slang and took its venom using it for its core….its silver because that's what happened to the wood , really its beautiful if you think about it'' Severus listened with pure fascination at the story
''When he gave it to me he said to be very careful, the wand was very mischievous as well as loyal'' She held it in her hand as they stood there in the middle. She was silent, in deep thought.
''They aren't my friends you know…the people I introduced you too , they just pity me , they all think in a bit daft which is somewhat true'' her face broke into a soft smile as she stood in front of the large window in one of the towers. The fading light filtered in making it look like halo around her head, her eyes twinkled with past memories and hopes.
''It's dumb isn't it, I heard a rumor saying I was The Dark Lords daughter because of my wand and well…my bloodline , Salazar Slytherin'' Severus's eyes widened ''My great ,great ,great and some other greats grandmother was the squib daughter of the straight blood of Salazar , so she had a son who was a wizard and he heard about his history and thought what his grandmother did was horrible so he killed his own parents and married a witch , the blood became pure again and it ended up with me and well…Tommy Riddle'' Severus stared at her. This was one of the heirs of the Famous pure blood Salazar Slytherin, this pretty, silly little thing.
''Hey Severus, we need to show you the dorms'' one of the 9th years called him over.
''Well, Ophelia I suppose I'll see you tomorrow'' She nodded but kept standing there, her heart beating rapidly, she just couldn't ever keep her mouth shut.
