A Hogwarts Tale: Love in the Time of Dark Wizards

Chapter 1

It is finally the day I go to Hogwarts again, this is my 5th year now. It is finally another year to make new memories, new friends and gain knowledge. I am Augustus Gaunt, before you react to anything I am not the type of "Gaunt" who speaks parcel tongue or any snake language. My grandfather Arcturus Gaunt was disowned by his brother Marvolo Gaunt for refusing to use dark magic and for associating ourselves with muggles. Honestly I do not see anything wrong with any of what my grandfather did, however upon our disownment my family has lived in our chateau in Mickel Fell, England distant from London, muggles and other wizarding family. My family just wants to be alone I guess. Moving on I am the youngest sibling among five brothers, and yes I am often ignored, rejected and neglected. So I spend time alone reading books and such, as a Gaunt our status are elevated compared to other wizarding families. My father, Sir Angus Gaunt works as an Investor in Consortium of Goblinary & Red Nosed Wizard Investors my mother, Lady Spencer Gaunt on the other hand works as a delegate in the Ministry of Magic, while my brothers followed in the footsteps of my father in finance. And here is me a tall, blonde, milk-skinned boy who was raised by our house-elf. I am so Glad I can finally leave home, make friends and start a new chapter of my life in Hogwarts. Just I am about to finish writing this journal my mother finally called.

Mother: Your carriage is here August!

Augustus: Ok, coming mom!

Augustus: Here I am mom

As my mother pecked my forehead for a kiss she reminded me to enjoy my life at Hogwarts (which hopefully I do)

Father: Darling, August can take care of himself we have to go or I we'll be both late for work!

Mother: Ok dear! I love you sweetie

Augustus: Love you too mom! 

As I ride in my carriage I can't help but think of my future I hope this year will be far more interesting than my previous years in Hogwarts. I am thankful my family can afford a carriage in order for me to be by myself. I am not really sociable. 

In my previous years in Hogwarts I normally just stay in my common room after classes and read a book while I sip on some tea. Unlike my distant cousin Ominis who seem to be more sociable.

 As I think about this thoughts I suddenly fell asleep and voila as I wake up I am finally at Hogwarts.

As a fifth-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I already believed I knew the ins and outs of the school pretty well. But as I head to my first class of the year, I find myself getting lost in the twisting corridors and staircases.

Just as I was about about to give up and accept that I'll be late to class, I turn a corner and nearly run into a tall, dark-haired boy with piercing green eyes. He gave me a cold stare before brushing past you and disappearing down the hallway.

As he disappears in the hallway I thought I have seen him before hanging out with Ominis. I forgot his name. I muttered to myself.

Augustus: (Was his name something like Sabastian? Savestian? Whatever I have bad memory remembering who is who)

Despite his unfriendly demeanor however, I can't help but feel drawn to him. You ask around and learn that his name is Sebastian Sallow and he's a fellow Slytherin in your year. Rumors abound about his dark past and his mysterious family, but no one seems to know the whole story.

As I ask about directions I cannot help but be intrigued by the rumors and get to be interested to him. I wonder why he isn't with Ominis, well he probably decided to be an introvert like me or he got tired of Wizard drama.

So after getting scolded by my professor in my first day for being late I decided to slither in my common room. And surprisingly Ominis was not there, but Sebastian was, he was alone eating his chocolate frog. He caught me looking at him and he responded.
