UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER
what the actual fvck was that?




A FEW DAYS LATER, THE SCENE SHIFTED BACK TO THE SLYTHERIN COMMON ROOM, where the green-robed students were engrossed in reviewing for their upcoming exams.

The pressure was mounting for the first-years, with exams looming just weeks away, and the usual hangout spots had been replaced by the library or dorms for intense study sessions.

Some of the older Slytherins had taken it upon themselves to help the younger students by preparing practice exams, much to the delight of the Lestrange heir.

"That really is so sweet of them," Alice commented, a note of fondness in her voice.

The others nodded in agreement, their perceptions of Slytherins slowly shifting as they delved deeper into their world. Perhaps they weren't so different from the other houses after all, seeing that they are capable of the same kind of kindness as Hufflepuffs.

The camera panned to Stella, who had volunteered to fetch an array of books from the library for the study group that the older Slytherins had insisted the first-years participate in.

As the dark-haired girl gathered the books, she glanced around to ensure no one was watching her. With a small smirk, she cast a disillusionment spell on herself and quietly made her way to the Restricted Section.

"Disillusionment!? That's a NEWT-level spell!" Barty exclaimed, still surprised by the girl's capability of advanced magic.

Stella settled herself comfortably on the floor, resting her back against one of the towering bookshelves.

She pulled out a massive tome for what she called 'light reading.' The camera zoomed in on the book's title: Animagi and Their Transformations -- the suggestion from Professor McGonagall.

"Great, she did all that magic just for her reading," Barty commented sarcastically. "And that is light? light reading? What do these people consider light reading?" he continued incredulously, recalling how Hermione had also referred to heavy tomes as light reading.

Ignoring Barty's usual dramatics, the Marauders frowned at the scene, still disheartened by the betrayal of their beloved professor, much to Rosalie's amusement.

Rosalie then shook her head, amused. She couldn't help but wonder how they would react when they find out that one of them is actually one of the proudest man on earth after discovering that the girl was an Animagus, just like himself.

Back on screen, Stella was making her way back to the Slytherin common room when she heard faint whimpers coming from a nearby classroom.

Before she saw anyone, a sharp pain shot from the base of her head, sending jolts of discomfort through her entire body.
