The Empress of Magic

Chapter 7 : The First Week of School

,, There do you see him ?"

,, Where ?"

,, Look!"

,, Next to the tall kid with the red hair."

,, With the glasses ?"

,, Did you see his face ?"

,, Did you see his Scar ?"

Whispers followed Harry Potter around as soon as the next morning arrived, not that the boy seemed to mind or that Regulus cared.

After all, both were clearly used by the different forms of attention they received.

The Slytherin was making his way towards the Ravenclaw Tower, Aiden, and Hunter having invited him to wait in the Common room so he wouldn't be bored waiting for them at the Breakfast table.

Honestly, he wouldn't have minded waiting, but the constant stares and glares from students, as well as the talks about Harry, were making him want to Hex someone.

And he'd rather deal with Chrome in the early hours of the morning than do that.

--------------

Regulus stood in front of the Ravenclaw Tower entrance, a curious glint hidden deep within his eyes as he looked at the Bronze Raven Knocker right in the middle of the Wall before him.

No Portrait was Guarding the Entrance, nor was there anything specific that he noticed with the bricks....

So however he'll be able to get inside the Ravenclaw common room was through that Knocker..

He eyed it, brows furrowing slightly in concentration when all of a sudden the eyes of the Raven began glowing blue.

,, What is the end of everything ?" asked the knocker, making him blink in surprise.

,, The Letter , G ' ?" He answered, not quite sure about what just had happened.

The glow disappeared and the door opened for him, at which he slowly went inside.

His eyes widened, now faced with the brightness of the Common room which was so different from his own.....

Books were everywhere, some Ravenclaws sitting on the provided desks with Books or Scrolls in their hold as others talked to each other quietly.

And the entire room......

It was almost glowing because of the morning light, making the white Marble stick out and appear almost like he was made to face the staircase leading to the heavens.

, Now I know why Aunt Narcissa used to say that the Ravenclaws had one of the most beautiful Common Rooms she had ever seen....' He thought, looking around.

There was no sight of Aiden or Hunter yet...

This meant that there also was no sight of Celestia...

,, Looking for Miss Grindelwald, Mister Black ?" A squeaky voice asked, making him jump slightly, the tips of his hair turning white as he snapped around, one eye slightly red while the other was blue.

Fillius watched the scene in fond amusement, having seen the very same thing once before.

,, Mister Black, searching for Miss Grindelwald again, are we ?" A younger Fillius Flitwick asked, looking at the fifth-year Slytherin.

The Slytherin visibly flinched, not having noticed the Professor's arrival.

And to Fillius's shock and Regulus' horror, the boy's usually black curls turned bleach white, from the roots down to the last remaining curl of what was once charcol black.
