Ravenclaw

Chapter 8- A Recollection of the Same Night

Song for the chapter: Bad Things by Camila Cabello and Machine Gun Kelly

     While Rowena and Godric had their night out, the other half of their comrade was having their night in.
     "Go to sleep, Salazar."
     He responds in parseltounge, and once again, only Helga is meant to understand. She rolls her eyes at him, but enjoys it when only she knows what he's on about.
     "English is preferable."
     "You're no fun, Hufflepuff."
     "I'm tired." She whined, and Salazar got up and sat beside her on her bed." You know I care about you, right?"
Helga was shocked of Salazar's surprisingly gentle tone, the change of voice and attitude from his normal one. She always thought he treated her a little less harshly because she was the kinder, more vulnerable one. But what he just said...
"Helga, I really do."
     She sat up and her rare amber eyes looked into his dark emerald ones.

     "Turn to page thirty-six. Now we will be performing..."
Helga tuned out of the lesson for once and looked at Rowena, who sat beside her in class, sitting up straight and taking notes of almost everything Professor Lilac said. She rolled her eyes at her friend, who, to Helga's misfortune, caught it and addressed her.
     "What?"
     She giggled, and Rowena gave her a strange look before turning back to the professor to ask her a question. Helga sighed, and she turned left to see Salazar grinning to himself with Godric wearing the same puzzled face as Rowena.
If only they knew...

     "Seriously, Salazar?"
     The two were sneaking to the back door of the small school, glancing around every now and then to make sure they weren't going to be caught. Then, Salazar grabbed Helga's hand and dragged her to the door.
     "Rowena taught me this one." He smirked, before pointing his wand as the lock." Alohamora!" He said, and they both slipped out the brown back door and into the night.
     "Where are we to go? Half the town is asleep." She argued as they trudged through the muddy ground in their shoes.
     "Ever wonder how I ended up here?" The strange boy asked as they went deeper into the town still, near the pubs that were still awake. She shook her head, waiting for his backstory.
     "Me avô came to London. Ran away from home to meet his lover, my grandmother, and settled down here, exactly here, in Hogsmeade." They walked towards a small, near-empty pub, which stood out from the rest as they had loud noises that came out of them, the smell of booze and cigarettes, while this one was quiet, had a few people, and smelt faintly of a flower Helga had been given before...
Salazar took her hand and dragged her inside the quiet pub named 'Os Três Vassouras' and took a seat at a table.
     "Sr. Sonserino!" The woman behind the bar said. She came over with teo mugs in her hands, which gave off a pleasant smell. Butterbeer." Obrigado, Rose." Salazar greeted, before turning his attention to the very confused Helga.
     "I'm Portuguese." Helga's puzzled expression softened and became its usual bubbly self after the explanation of how he knew the language." That still don't explain why you're real friendly with this area. I mean, I get your..."
"Avô. Granfather."
"Ah, yes. He settled here, I get why you came here to study instead of going back but, pubs? Me grandfather Kyffin came here as well, but..."
     "Helga, this was their pub."
     "Oh."
The two then sat there in silence, Slytherin please with himself, being able to tell Helga something he hadn't already told Godric, and Hufflepuff, digesting the news and wondering why Salazar told her this, brought her to a place so significant, where they danced and laughed and had the best time with each other neither of them had experienced before in their lives.

"He told me things he hasn't told Godric yet, and that's saying something!" She whispered excitedly to Rowena as they waited outside the Transfiguration classroom, where the fifth-year class was finishing up their lessons with Professor Raziel Forfax.
     Unfortunately, it was also Flaura Mae's class, and the one class she was actually succeeding in. The two looked into the class and saw...
     "Dude, that's... you!"
     And indeed, somehow, that was.

A/N

Next chapter is on the ball, so this'll continue after that chapter.

Just so you know, if you didn't already, that is, Evanna Lynch plays Rowena Ravenclaw, Louis Tomlinson plays Godric Gryffindor, Katherine Langford plays Helga Hufflepuff and Zayn Malik plays Salazar Slytherin.

Also, I finally found the actor to play Flaura after watching GOTG 2( and for all those who are clueless and ultimately slightly disappointing me-- Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2)

Karen Gillian!

Yay, I guess. Anyway, read on:)
