by Yuuki no Yuki

Not every Slytherin ends up in the Snake Pit. Some cave to parental bias, some follow friends or family, and some make a calculated decision to align themselves with the most underestimated house in a bid for safety and security.

She shrugged. "What's normal? Now, about earlier?"

"No."

"No?"

"No, you foolish girl! I found Alchemy insipid and uninspired, I never bothered to pursue it."

A sigh. "So this is where our friendship ends."

"Wait!"

"Goodbye, Tom."
