Harry Potter: Secrets and Trials

The Heir of Slytherin

In Hogwarts Castle Professor Yzma Milano was heading to Myrtle's bathroom which happened to be the very same bathroom where Yzma sensed she had a connection to her ancestry when she was a student at Hogwarts right in her very 1st year. Yzma opted to spend the Holiday at the castle this year in the hopes of finding a clue to where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was. Yzma knew that entering the chamber and destroying the basilisk was the only hope she had to win her challenge and change the world for the better. She wasn't alone in this task. Yzma had Duncan and Harry with her but to her surprise Alex Cahill Walker, wife of Texas Ranger Cordell Walker and Assistant District Attorney of Dallas was with her as well.

"You really don't have to do this Alex," said the newly minted head of Slytherin House and Deputy Headmistress, "And you really didn't need to accompany me into the Chamber and bring Carlos Sandavol and Trent Malloy along as well to talk to the students who stayed behind for the Holidays. This is my mess Alex. At least let me fix the mess so I can ask the Arkeyans for help and to let the people I team up with handle this. The last thing I want to do is get yourself or anyone else and their relatives for that matter attacked by those who preach pureblood and magical supremacy."

"That part about pureblood and magical supremacy is exactly why I've decided to come here and why I brought along Carlos and Trent," the Dallas ADA replied, "This rhetoric of pureblood supremacy and magical supremacy is no different from the white power rhetoric back in the United States and the wave of violence and attacks upon the Non-Magical people by those with magic is no different. At the end of the day these Death Eaters that you speak of are just another hate group and the blood supremacists in the British Ministry of Magic are no different. I'm not just here to help you Yzma. I'm also here to help give Abigail Bones and Myra Lupin the support they need for the Arena battle that's sure to come after your challenge. Trent and Carlos are also here to help empower the kids. In fact they've agreed to fill in for Coach Barnes next year as General O'Neil needs Barnes for a special assignment."

"And what can Carlos and Trent do to help us make Hogwarts a better place?" Harry asked Alex, "I spoke to the students in my year group and Daisy and Abigail have spoken to the students in their year group. Camille and Carol have also spoken to some of the students as well and from what they can make out Malfoy and the more conservative circles have started to emerge and tighten their grip thanks to Malfoy's cousin Armand, his uncle Kai, and his uncle Kai's father. Needless to say Camille told me they pretty much feel they have the sole right to dictate how all of Slytherin House has to act and they'll use any and all means to make it so."

"Are there any Slytherin students brave enough to take the lead to hold the line against them?" Trent asked.

"Blaise Zabini and Daphne Greengrass, the 'Ice Queen' of Slytherin", Harry said after some thought. "Both in our year."

"The apophis girl Hathora hasn't been taking any of their nonsense either," Payson Carlin pointed out. "Nor have ANY of the monster girls in Slytherin House. In fact, most of them have been actively trying to seduce various bigots!*giggle!* But Hathora seems to have taken the lead of the monster girls in Slytherin."

"Not surprising for an apophis," Yzma said with an eyerolling smile.

"Then they can join my Martial arts classes, and vet others of the house to do so as well," Trent said.

"Same with my Criminal Justice class," Carlos added. "Then they'll have to tools to decide for themselves and defend themselves from the Malfoys and their ilk if they have to in their own House and common room."

"Thing is though how do you intend to teach martial arts to a Lamia or monster girls that don't have legs?" asked Yzma as they arrived at Myrtle's bathroom.
