Scipio nodded, shredding blades of grass absently. "Dad doesn't talk much… 'specially about that. I think he kinda hated James."
Pre Hogwarts (OPEN)
Marie sat on the ground. "my big cousin is Draco Malfoy. all he does is talk about potter. uncle Luci isnt any better" she laughed, and felt childish for her wording but didnt know houw else to say it.
(aka im kinda tired and cant think correctly rn. also i had to bring the Malfoys in because theyre my favorite. and hello im a slytherin!)
(HEY SAME ISN'T DRACO ADORABLE LIKE ALL THE TIME)
"Oh! Lucius Malfoy! Dad's friends with him, I think. I'm pretty sure they work at the same place, dad was always going off somewhere. I think he got a new job after the Dark Lord was defeated, though. He doesn't go wherever he was going anymore."
"Yea, i mean my daddy and uncle Luci were strong supporters, but i never really did. i couldnt. i couldnt see how someone could support that. oh well, what happened, happened i guess." she said.
(I KNOW, TOM FELTON IS LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS)
(AND 99% OF HIS JERKNESS WAS DADDY ISSUES TBH)
Scipio nodded. "My father never told me what side he was on, so I haven't a clue. Mother won't talk about it either. I think the whole war thing came as a shock to them."
(hello hufflepuff here to agree that tom felton is absolutly amazing)
"I'm not surprised… My parents were involved too, no one wants to relive a thing like that, that's why we gotta make sure it doesn't happen again so everyone can be happy!!!" he beams, optimistic about the future
"Mm…" Scipio examined Simon, soaking in every bit of information he could from looking at him. "What house do you think you'll be in?" He had already drawn up his own conclusions of course, but he wanted to see whether Simon's answer matched up with his own.
"I'm not really sure… but whatever house i'm in, i'm sure the people are lovely!! even though i'm a bit scared and nervous i'm really excited to meet more magic folk!!!" he beams sweetly.
"What about you??" he asks
"I'll be a Slytherin for sure. And I'd say you would be Hufflepuff. Slytherin is where the people are smart and ambitious. Cunning, and not all evil. And besides, everyone in my family has been Slytherin."
he smiles. "That's really cool!! I think Slytherins are really awesome" he beams. "My grandma was a hufflepuff, though my parents are ravenclaw and slytherin, I'm not too sure if they'd be too happy with me if i was a hufflepuff but i really like what the house stands for!!"
Scipio nodded. "And apparently Salazar Slytherin himself was a Parselmouth! I'll have something in common with the founder!" He said cheerfully.
"That's so cool!!!!" Simon beams, excited.
"sorry to butt my way in but id be a Slytherin too. if not a ravenclaw or hufflepuff. but its family heritage, ill be a slytherin." Marie chimed in, not wanting to be forgotten.
"You'll be like, a third or fourth year by the time I get to go to Hogwarts, right?" Scipio asked Marie.
"Fourth i believe" She said, turning to Scipio.
"Since you're… ten? And I'm six, so yeah. That makes you roughly four years ahead. Or would you be a fifth year?"
Simon pauses for a little. "I would be in 3rd so Maire would be in 4?" he asks, looking at maire
"Fourth, i just turned ten a couple months ago" she replied
"Well, lemme think for a minute… I'm six, which makes you four years older than me. It'll be five years until I go to Hogwarts, and one for you. You will be a first year next year. First year in addition to the four years it'll take me to get to Hogwarts… that would make you a fifth year."
"uh yea sure whatever" she said, not really worried about the math.
(Scipio likes math lol)
"Yeah…" Scipio checked the math in his head again. "Yeah, that should be right. Perhaps you'll be a prefect by the time I arrive?"
"woah, that would be really awesome… Prefect Maire!!!" he beams
"oh gosh ive always wanted to be a prefect. Draco talks about someone by the name of Diggory sometimes too. something to do with Potter as always, but apparently he was a prefect and was a really good guy" Marie said and smiled.
"Cedric Diggory." Scipio shook his head sadly. "He died in the Triwizard tournament that Harry participated in. Killed by the Dark Lord, or, well, his servant I suppose."
"Oh yeah!!! Cedric Diggory!!! he was a hufflepuff!! I really wanna meet him some day, he's kinda my role model" he says excited.
(Scipio: ………..he's dead you can't meet him bro)
"OH YEA!" she exclaimed, a light bulb clicking on. "I remember the stories now. Hes a legend"
"W-wait" Simon paused. "Hes… dead…?" he stutters, shocked
(his parents always left that part out since he was such a big fan of cedric diggory
" you… you didnt know?" Marie turned to Simon.
