No further encounters seemed to occur between me and Snape after the last talk, I even started to avoid looking at him during meals, all the other professors had a talk whenever they felt that they need to which is actually a good thing, who would hate to have teachers on his side ?

However, Avoiding Snape will need to end, as today is the first day in the year so here I'm, wearing my slytherin robes and sitting at our supposed table with other slytherins around while the sorting ceremony started as professor McGonagall was standing and calling out students names .

" Locksley Markus . "

with that moved a boy with black hair and sat and awaited the sorting hat to be placed on his head .

" Locksley, Haven't heard of them from a while , hmm let me see if you follow the family . "

the sorting hat was silent for a couple of minutes and :

" The heir of the family I see, This'll be SLYTHERIN ! "

the whole table cheered so as I, The boy got down with a cheerful smile planted on his face and since I was sitting at the front of the table he moved and sat next to me, As he turned around to face the others that were happy to have him as well and brought his hand up to me .

White eyes ? kind of I think ? oh, he has some freckles too .

" I'm Markus, Markus Locksley . "

I took his hand in mine .

" y/n l/n . " I said smiling at him .

" It's nice to meet you y/n . "

" You too Markus . "

Cheery one huh ?

" Are you a second year ? "

" No no, I'm a first year just like you . "

one of the older students turned to look at me .

" you're supposed to be sorted . "

" yes, I was sorted a week ago- "

" A week ? " blurt out another older student and carried on " All the first years are supposed to be sorted on the first day .. "

" Professor Dumbledore said that it's better for me to be sorted just when I arrived . "

" Why did you even arrive a week early ? "

" Professor Dumbledore also said that it's better if I'm taken early from the orphanage to get a grip of thin- "

" Orphanage ?? you're from the orphanage ?? "

" Yes ? "

another student turned to look at me clearly disgusted by something .

" A mudblood ?? in slytherin ? eww . "

" What ?! We have a mudblood ??? in our house ??? "

the whole table started to mumble things that I can't really hear but there was only one common thing that can be clearly distinguished " mudblood mudblood MUDBLOOD !! "

" MAY THE SLYTHERINS LOWER THEIR VOICES PLEASE ?? " said professor Dumbledore making the whole table silent .

" Thank you, Carry on Professor McGonagall . "

I looked at Markus and he was looking at me with a smile still on his face .

" My father told me about this bloodline thing, He also said that it isn't important if someone is pure blood or half blood or muggle-born . "

" I can't quite understand ... "

" Oh let me explain, A pure blood is someone who's born in an all witches and wizards family, the half-blood is the one that has a muggle parent, and the muggle-born is the one that's both parents are muggles . "

" I se- "

" Muggle-born ? are you mad Locksley ? they aren't supposed to be, THEY ARE MISTAKES did you hear that ? "

" I wasn't talking to you, you can keep your opinions to yourself if you please . "

the elder student was taken aback by Markus's reply even I actually .. He turned back again to look at me .

" Father told me to make friends with whoever I like . "

" Aren't you disgusted from me ? "

I didn't realize that I put myself in shit when I decided to have no parents, I mean ? I haven't faced anything like this before .. or maybe that's because I never tried the muggle-born thing ? wow just wow .

" No why would I ? " he's looking at me shocked from what I've said, as he carried on .

" Do you wanna be friends with me ? " He extended his hand to me .

and I took it in mine " Indeed . "

In the background a voice interrupted the beginning of our conversation, Well .. this sounded more like a yell...

" TWO ?? TWO WEASLEYS IN A YEAR ? " the sorting hat seemed annoyed a little bit .

another student mumbled, " As if we need more Weasleys in our lives huh .. "

" Will you hurry up ? " said the red-haired boy that was sitting with the sorting hat on top of his head .

" There's no need to think twice I see, GRYFFINDOR ! "

" God I'm shocked, he's placed in gryffindor . "

" So unexpected . " a group was laughing while shit chatting, clearly every slytherin must be a bit sarcastic, Seems like professor Snape spread the infection all the way ..Or they're all born with it ?

" so you've been here for a week ? " said Markus starting a conversation .

" Oh, yes . "

" Cool, I bet you know everything by now . "

" I took the opportunity and explored every bit of the castle . "

" wow, The place is big it's going to be hard to memorize it all," he said as he looked around .

" not that much you know, a couple of weeks and you'll be able to have it in . "

" No you don't get it, I get lost in our mansion . "

" wait what ? " I said lightly laughing .

" Mother says that I daydream a lot . "

we were cut by professor Dumbledore explaining the forbidden places for us and the times that students shouldn't roam around, prefects, heads, and a bit of everything before ending it with a small smile and a little " that's it " and gave a swish with his hand as to make the food appear in front of us .

" Thank Merlin that we're in the same house . " Markus said and stopped to look at me .

" you'll guide me, right ? "

I laughed a bit " Why not, just hope that we have the same classes "

" By the way do you know the teachers ? "

" Yes, don't worry they'll introduce themselves later on . "

" Father told me that each house has a head, Who's our head ? "

" See the man in all black over there ? that's him, professor Snape . "

" what does he teach ? "

" potions . "

" Oh, I like potions ; I actually started studying a bit as soon as I got my books , It's really interesting . "

" Right ? I decided that it'll be one of my favorites . "

Let's just hope that Snape won't make me reconsider my decision .

the feast ended and the prefects led us to our dormitories .

" See you in the morning y/n . " Markus said and went on the way to his room .

god, the boy is nice but is such a blabber .. hey he was the one to stand up for me back there, I must say he's quite cute <3

Anyway I guess it's time to rest a bit, tomorrow is our first day in classes .

Watch me pray all night that it goes well lol, But hey I'll be able to astonish Snape tomorrow I'll be prepared for each and every class, especially for his .

I swear I won't calm down before I get into his personal library, I wonder what is he keeping I mean more potions books ? Like the library isn't filled with it ? God, I'm crossing my fingers at least have a good taste in novels if he reads , Sleep y/n please before we start overthinking now I beg you .
