Tavros:
When school started again, I was really upset. I had to, yet again, face my bully in my classes and in my life in general. She seemed to be everywhere, in my common room with feferi, in my classes with Eridan, at the Library with Kanaya. It was hell. Her eyes scrutinized my every move, and when I fell short, trouble was brewing my way. I tried hard to avoid her, but she had eyes on me wherever she was. It was maddening.
Fortunately, I found a friend. Gamzee Makara and I began hanging out after classes and on the weekends. He was nice, if a bit strange, and we enjoyed having rap battles and all manner of silly activities. He became my best friend, and we had a good time. I tried to reconnect with my old teammate, Aradia, but she was so different. She was friendly, but not enough to say, "Be my friend." So all I had was Gamzee.
Classes were fun sometimes, when they weren't with Vriska. I had a fun time in Herbology, which I was pretty good at, but my favorite was Defense Against the Dark Arts because of how powerful it made me feel.
When in a class with Vriska, all I felt was belittled. She threw things at me and called me stupid when I got a question wrong. It angered me, but I shoved that down. I was so afraid of the huge bitch. Bluh bluh.
I had fun playing gobstones too. In Hufflepuff, Nepeta sometimes indulged me and we played. Sometimes she was busy with her cousin or Equius. That was okay. Mostly, my life involved school. The classes were hard without distractions, so I fell behind. And I had no one to help me. Life at Hogwarts wasn't shaping up to be as fun as Rufioh made it out to be. I was starting to lose all hope.
And then I met Jade.
Eridan:
I was so glad to be of a legal age to use magic. Of course, my parents had allowed me to learn when I was younger, but now, it was of use in public. I loved Hogwarts for so many reasons, and that was one of them. So far, life was good. Thankfully, I was in Slytherin. There would have been hell to pay if I was not.
I'd been hanging out with Feferi, Vriska, Nepeta, and Equius mainly. I would have prefered to just spend time with Fef and maybe Vris, but I was willing to make some sacrifices. At least none of them were dirty mudbloods, like the Jade girl and Aradia girl that Fef sometimes hung out with. I didn't understand why she sullied her name by hanging out with them. The other kid she hung out with, Sollux, was a dirty half-blood, but that was a bit better. It seemed to me as if I was the only pureblood who wasn't sullying my name. Makara was hanging out with the guy in the muggle contraption-obviously a mudblood, and Serket had become friends with Egbert, another mudblood.
Pyrope was the worst of all-I felt like all of her friends were either blood-traitors, half-bloods, or mud-bloods. Zahhak hung out with Nepeta all the time, but I didn't know her family, so she was definitely of a lower class. I hoped that one day I would be able to convince them all to see reason, especially Fef.
Due to my Father's high position in the Ministry, I was privy to all the information on Sburb. It also, of course, helped that my family agreed with them, and my Father was funding them. Before I had come here, Father had taken me into his confidence and asked me to pass on information about the mudbloods and teachers here-anything to help Sburb wipe out the lesser folk who don't belong in wizarding society.
Some people, like Fef, regard this idea as genocide, but I just see it as necessary.
