Heir of Slytherin

Potion Room:

Celia was checking the homework of the 6th year about the side effects of amortantia and polyjuice in the empty classroom. Suddenly she hears some commotion outside of the dungeon. Leaving everything on her desk she went outside and see some Gryffindors and Slytherins gathered around something, preciously someone. A girl in the crowd said
"Huh! Dev, you are telling me this nincompoop is the heir of Slytherin? Son of Voldemort? Ha ha ha, have you seen his face? Losser."
Then the students started laughing.
Again one boy mocked
"Hey! not only this, but he also carries the name of the Malfoy lineage. A bastard. Hey Potter, leave that bastard and join us. Unless you are willing to protect this weakling nerd for the rest of your life."

At the very moment when Celia started to go to the crowd, two 7th-year boys called her from behind. "Hey Angie, leave it to us. Don't waste your energy on these uncultured morrons."
She looked around and found a tall lanky young boy with bubblegum pink hair wearing hand me downs maroon cardigan and a tall young redhead who has a sharp nose and freckles.
"Lupin! Weasley! What are you doing here? Aren't both of you serving detention? " She inquired.

"Yes, Angie", the Weasley boy answered "but no one told us that we don't get a short break from detention?"

"And Minnie doesn't mind if the nerdy Lupin takes a break from detention to go to the 'LIBRARY' angle." The another told.
"Wait I will report to the headmistress about you." Celia threatened them.

"You don't," Lupin said.

"What, Mr. Lupin? " She exclaimed.

"You aren't going to tell her Angie. We know that you also enjoy our pranks. We promise after spending some time we will go to the kitchen. But now let us handle this little chitchat." Fred Weasley completed his friend's sentences. Then both of them rushed towards the group. After seeing the head boys the fourth years become pale and pleaded. Eventually, they brought the group in front of Celia.

"Professor Scamander, we aren't breaking rules." The girl from earlier said in a meek voice.

"Silence!" She ordered. "Ms. Smith telling lie to your professor is the first step of breaking rules and proof of disrespect which I won't tolerate. And for your kind information, I saw everything you have done with those boys. As a senior, you must guide the junior not to bully them. Now 50 points will be deducted from each of your houses and for your detention, I will inform Flitch to accompany you."
After the group left with Flitch, Celia turn towards the boys and pull their ears. "Now my dear pranksters go and serve your detention." Both of them withering and trying to leave her grip. "Hey! Hey Angie, we will! We will! Now leave us."
"Ok then."  Saying this she left their ears and they started to walk toward the kitchen. "But before that 10 points to both of you for capturing those bullies."
Hearing this both of them turned around. Fred Weasley yelled "Love you Angie" and Edward Lupin smirked and said "see you later Angle."

Celia rolled her eyes and muttered "Merlin! I'm not getting paid for this."

Then her attention went towards the first years, they are accompanied by the head boys in her chamber. "Malfoy, Potter!" She went towards them. It was visible that the incident shake Scorpious very much. "Accio Hot Chocolate! Mr. Potter Mr. Malfoy here take this" saying this she handed them the cups. Both of them took the cups hesitantly. She sat in front of them and then asked calmly. "So, if you are feeling better then can you tell me what happened? Why they were attacking both of you?" Albus looked at Scorpius for permission and Scorpius nodded his head for continuation.

"Professor Scamander! Actually..." He paused.
"It's ok Mr. Potter. Don't hesitate, you can tell me anything. It's my duty to protect you." She said.
"They, bullied him not me professor." He completed his sentence.
"Only him?" Celia repeated.
"Any particular reason?" She asked while looking at Scorpius. His face was pale and his eyes are glistening and his cheeks become red.
"Because they think he is a shame of the pure-blood lineage. He is weak and does not qualify for known as an elite wizard." Albus Potter told her.

" Merlin's beard! He is a child for God's sake! Who put such vile thoughts in those students' minds?"
She cursed in frustration.
"No one. "Scorpius answered in a weak tone.
"Mr. Malfoy?"
" No one put that thought into anyone's mind professor. Everyone believes that I am a bustard. "Saying this he hiccuped. Celia sat beside him and side hugged him. "Ssshh... Don't cry Scorpios! Don't waste your precious tears for people like them! They are not worth it."
"No professor every- uuh - everyone thinks that I am a bustard! That I am his son. N-not Dad's. "He started crying hysterically.

"Wh-who's child?" Celia asked Albus while caressing Scorpius. Albus looked at his friend and said "Voldemort".

"Vol-demort!" She mumbled absent-mindedly.

Albus looked at her and asked "you don't know him, professor?"
But she doesn't hear him as she lost in her thoughts . The name sounds so familiar so close to her but she can't remember. She tried hard to remember. "Voldemort! Voldemort! Voldemort! "
She chanted the name like a maniac.

"Professor Scamander, I heard from Flitch what happened today earlier. Oh, Merlin!.."
The boys turned around and saw Headmistress enter the room but she halted when she saw Celia chanting the name as if her life depends on it.

"Voldemort! Voldemort! Voldemort!" And suddenly everything becomes black infront of her.
