Helena and Katie arrived to Hogwarts, and the feast had past by very briskly. Though, they were not allowed to go to their Dormitories until Voldemort made his speech.
"And I wonder what exactly he has to say," said Helena sarcastically.
"Welcome Students for another year of learning, though for some of you it will be your first and last years and I wish you all the best of luck in the future. As a long going subject, all of you should be constantly reminded that Harry Potter was in fact not a hero, but a reminder that I am a merciful Lord, and I stopped him from suffering an agonizing death."
"What a load of -" Helena started.
"Sh," said Katie, her eyes on Voldemort.
"I don't believe this," murmured Helena.
"But if you are struggling," Voldemort continued. "You can always ask for help to understand these important matters. It maybe hard to adjust but I was once a Student like all of you at this historic school. And I worked hard and well, and just look at where I am today. Your friends may decide to leave you to be alone and afraid, but at Hogwarts you are never truly alone. But most importantly, here we want you to succeed immensely and if you don't then I will be very disappointed indeed. However, the staff are here to insure that you get as much help as you can until you leave your final year. Thank you."
Everyone started applauding him and Helena just sat there, shocked. At least they could go back to their dormitories now.

Helena and Katie were outside the Ravenclaw Tower and when they got to the top, they saw three students trying to work out the riddle. One was a girl with brown hair, another was a boy with dirty brown hair and the other was a girl with black hair.
"No it's referring to an animal that can change its features," said the girl with black hair.
"It's obviously a Shapeshifter," said a boy.
"What -" said Helena, surprised.
Suddenly the three of them went quiet and they all turned to glare at her.
"What's the riddle?" she asked the Eagle on the door.
"Which creature walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon and three legs in the evening?"
Katie looked puzzled.
"That's easy," stated Helena. "A human."
"Why?" asked the girl with brown hair.
"Because when you're born you crawl, when you're able to walk it takes up most of your life, and when you're elderly you walk with a stick so in essence you have three legs."
"Good explanation," said the Eagle. And the door opened.
The first years were about to get in when Katie stopped them.
"Can you not go to another Common Room because you obviously can't enter. Seriously, go to one with an actual password, that way you might have a chance of entering."
"We have every right to be here, and we have as much rights as you do," said the boy.
"Yeah," agreed the girl with brown hair.
"At least introduce yourselves," said Helena coldly.
"My name's Rubidea," said the brown haired girl. "This is Leone," she directed the boy. "And that's Lucrentina."
Katie had no interest in their names, she had no pleasure of them being in the Ravenclaw Common Room, as she had no interest in meeting new people or making new friends. She was already happy with what she had.
Helena glanced at Katie to read her expression, It was fairly obvious that she didn't want them there.
"So can we stay?" asked Leone. His light brown eyes looked rather emotionless, in Helena's opinion.
"It depends," said Helena " Are you always this up front with people you just met?"
"Didn't your mother teach you to not answer a question with a question?" said Lucrentina cruelly.
Helena looked appalled.
"Wasn't that a question you dumb Blood-Traitor?" she asked.
"That was also a question."
"If you're going to be so blatantly rude then you can kindly fuck off to another Common Room or you might as well sleep in the Forbidden Forest because I'm sure none of the other people in different Common Rooms will have you."
They reluctantly left, muttering to one and another.

"Why would you even choose Arithmancy?" asked Leone, who came over to Helena and Katie.
"None of your business, is it Leone? Besides, just because you want into the Ravenclaw Common Room, does not mean that you can come over to us anytime and talk to us. Just don't. Leave us alone."
"What are you going to do?" threatened Rubidea.
"Oh don't get me started."
"Seriously, don't," said Katie.
"What are you, scared?" said Lucrentina.
"What brought you to that conclusion?" replied Helena coldly.
"Just analysing body language."
"You're wrong and you're a liar."
"I wouldn't be so sure If I were you, Helena."
Helena scowled at her, wondering, debating in her own mind. Then, she left it, as though there were a lot more important things besides from them. The bell rung, then she proceeded to her first lesson.
