Harry Potter: Heir of the Dark Lord

Part 6-A Friend from Slytherin 

(Noctis pov)
I was in the Great Hall reading the Daily Prophet and learning about the breakout in Gringotts. Whatever was there was long gone, and the perpetrator was never found, from what I could learn about Gringotts, no one had ever attempted to break into the high-security bank which was a shock to the wizarding world. I overheard Harry and Ron talk about a package that was in Gringotts and was moved to Hogwarts. And about the trap door and whatever the dog was guarding.
Ron:" It's either really valuable or really dangerous."
Harry:" Or both," he said.
I also looked and saw that neither Neville nor Hermione showed the slightest interest in what lay underneath the dog and the trapdoor. All Neville cared about was never going near the dog again.

I saw Harry getting a new broom which turned out to be a Nimbus 2000, thanks to overhearing Ron's muttering and excitement. Both of them left the great hall, probably to open the new broom in the common room before class started. I left the great hall and found a place outside that let me see the whole castle.

Since no one was around I went into my bag and let Cyrus out to explore the grounds, and Twilight was flying somewhere around the area. The view was spectacular just like in the books I've read.
Cyrus:" ~Hiss, this place is captivating,"
Noctis:" ~ Yeah, it is," I said in Parseltongue.
Suddenly, Cyrus slithered around my neck and informed me that someone was watching us from behind the trees.
Noctis:" ~Do you know who it is?"
Cyrus:" ~Hiss, no I don't recognize their scent,"
Cyrus went back into the bag to avoid being seen, while I got up and took my wand out of my pocket, and turned to the mysterious stranger who was hiding in the trees behind me.
Noctis:" Whoever is out there show yourself!" I said with a threatening tone in my voice. Soon the sounds of footsteps began to get closer and closer until it was revealed to be the Slytherin girl who tried to stop both the Gryffindors and Slytherins from fighting with each other during the flying broom lessons.
???:" Whoa, there's no need for violence here," she said with her hands up.
I still had my wand pointed at her, not taking my eyes off her for even a second.
Noctis:" Who are you and why were you spying on me?" I said to the black-haired Slytherin girl.
???:" I'm Daphne Greengrass, a first-year student and as for your other question, I saw you sitting alone on the cliff that overlooked Hogwarts Castle. I thought that first-year Gryffindors would try and make friends or something."
Noctis:" I'm not like most people," I said to her. After putting my wand back into my pocket I grabbed my bag and proceeded to head back to the castle, only for her to follow me.

Daphne:" Your last name is black right, I read about how all members of the black family were named after stars," she said as she was trying to make small talk with me. I didn't say anything as I was trying to ignore her, but I ultimately knew that she wouldn't leave me alone, so I replied to her question.
Noctis:" Yes, they are named after the star's constellation."
Daphne:" Really, but your name is Noctis, correct? It's not a constellation star name."
Noctis:" It's a Latin word in the muggle world, it means night."
Soon after answering she started laughing which had me bewildered for a second until she answered.
Daphne:(Laughing)" I'm sorry, it's just that it's a bit funny that your name means night, and the stars of the black family members that are named after can only be found when it's night," she said while laughing. I was quiet for a second before I straight up continued walking, trying to get away from her and failing. I heard her catch up to me until she was walking side by side with me.

Daphne:" Hey now, no need to get upset. I didn't mean to make fun of your name, it was just a little joke."
Noctis:" I don't care, just go away and leave me alone!" I said in an irritated tone.
Daphne:" Aw, and here I was hoping we would become friends," she said pretending that her feelings were hurt.
Noctis:" We're not friends, and I don't want any," I said while getting closer to the entrance of the forest.
Daphne:" You don't want friends, you would be lonely," said with a worried tone.
Noctis:" I'm fine with being alone, I have no reason for not wanting friendship or anything," I replied getting more irritated than ever with her constant questioning.
Daphne:" Hmm, that's an obvious lie, I can tell that you're trying to hide your true motive"
Noctis:(Angry)" Shut up!! You don't know anything about me, so why don't you just go away!!" I said losing my temper and raising my voice."
Daphne:" I actually know more about you than you think," she said while slowly walking towards me.
Noctis(Confused)" What the hell are you talking about," I said angrily, but also with confusion.

Daphne:" Noctis Rigel Arcturus Black, son of the most powerful and dangerous death-eater member Bellatrix née Black Lestrange, and its founding leader and master, you-know-who or going by his real name Voldemort. Hunted by the entire wizarding world shortly after being born, and prophesied to become a powerful dark wizard that would bring an age of darkness that would destroy both our world and the muggles, did I get that right." said while walking towards me with a smile plastered on her face.
I was horrified to the core, the anger that I was feeling was now replaced with fear, how did she know about my true lineage as almost no one except for a few people that Dumbledore trusted the most would be allowed to know? I immediately started backing away from her as she continued walking towards me, I felt my back touch a tree, preventing me from backing further away from her. She stood face-to-face in front of me and slowly lifted her arm toward me, I thought she might try to kill me or worse, but suddenly she did something that briefly stopped my brain. She gave me a headpat.

Daphne:" Huh, for the son of a dark lord, you don't seem that scary or evil like the ministry painted you as such," she said while patting my head. I was so shocked that I couldn't find the words to express the current situation. Daphne stopped patting my head and told me that I had nothing to be afraid of as most of the pure-blood Slytherins students already knew of my true parentage and had been forbidden to say anything about it, lest they face the consequences of their family's wrath. On one hand, I was a little dumbstruck that the identity of my lineage was already known, but on the other hand was a bit surprised that the Death Eater families didn't want my identity exposed. I was about to ask her the reason why the death-eaters were keeping quiet when suddenly the bell at Hogwarts rang, meaning that breakfast was over, and it was time for class.
Daphne:" Looks like the bell was rung, meaning our time together is over, but I'm sure we'll have another conversation soon until then try not to do anything stupid, my friend," she said as she already left the forest. I was still slumped against the tree speechless at what just happened and before I could wrap my head around the situation I was just in, Cyrus who heard everything immediately pulled me out of my thoughts and told me that we could deal with what just happened earlier, later as right now I had class with Professor Sprout and didn't want to be late. I thanked him and set out for the greenhouse to attend Herbology class.
