Scorpius:

The battle lasted so long that night had already fell, when the fog cleared we could see all of the teachers around us along with Aurors and very good friends to Hogwarts (a.k.a the people who fought for the winning side of the war, idiots.)

Don't get me wrong, I like the potters, after all my friend and fellow Slytherin Albus Potter is the son of the 'Chosen One' after all, it's just that I hate how much glory the name is given and how little mine is respected. It gets on my nerves a lot. I know Albus hates it as well, always being admired and hating the very disappointed looks when he screws up, for me it is the complete opposite, I get the disapproving looks whenever I do something right!

Only a few people like me and even then its nothing I would personally call friendship, I mean, I think it's because they are scared of me so they act as nice as possible to make sure I don't come after them at night.

Being told that the school had been partially destroyed was a shock, after all, through everything the Hogwarts Castle should of remained, even if students lives were lost, the castle was a symbol of hope, it was the place where freedom was given at the end of the Wizarding War and it was the place where so many have learned everything they would ever need to make sure that they could survive out in the real world of magic and sorcery.

Rose, one of my best friends (Albus is my other best friend) was sitting on the ground crying over a student, I think it was a friend of hers from her house, you see, Rose is in Ravenclaw and the smartest of all of them and the rest of the school. She's also really pretty; I never really noticed it till last year when she started to change A LOT.

Looking around me I see how much destruction the Marchers had left for us, I hate them so much, they go after those they deem unworthy so that they can create a 'superior race of Wizards and Witches.' Needless to say I didn't make the list, neither did the rest of my family but then again, neither did the golden trio. What these marchers and there masters really want is a bundle of snivelling wimps to afraid to open their doors so that they can make sure nothing bad ever happens if people are too scared to even look out their windows in case the Marchers saw them and came up with a crime to have them cleansed.

That's what's really been happening on the outside of Hogwarts, no matter what the students might think, my father told me in the summer that these terrorists were growing in numbers and becoming more of a threat to the Wizarding world, eventually while we have been safe in the walls of Hogwarts a silent war has been going on between those who knew and the Marchers. This was isn't something that parents thought to worry their children about, after all, that happened last time and sent everyone into a panic. My dad told me to keep me prepared but from what I can tell, everyone I have spoken to doesn't know about this 'war' and therefor have been totally surprised.

I wonder… didn't the sorting hat say something about a war when we were being sorted, didn't all the teachers sit straighter and have a worried look upon their faces.

Maybe the hat knew it was coming before these monsters even did…

THAT IS ONE SMART HAT!
