Everlasting ⁂ Harry Potter [1]

Chapter Thirty Five

Olivia couldn't stop herself from shaking her head as she laughed at Fred and George in amusement as they walked through the halls. Lee seemed to be just as invested in their conversation while Olivia listened to the riveting tales of guessing who the Heir of Gryffindor may be.

With Harry's revealed knowledge of Parseltongue, the language of snakes as Liv came to learn from Hermione, by now word had spread, and everyone believed Harry was the Heir of Slytherin and the one who had opened the Chamber of Secrets. A couple of people remained in Harry's corner, but Olivia was surprised by how many of the students so easily shunned the Gryffindor boy to the side, believing all the worst rumours about him that spread through the school.

And then there were those like Fred and George, who not only believed it to be preposterous, but also went around school following Harry and telling people to 'make way for the Heir of Slytherin'. They made so much fun of it that the term was starting to wear out in her opinion.

However, with the Chamber of Secrets talk, and all the time dedicated to conversations about Salazar Slytherin and his heir, the three Gryffindors, as well as Oli who was currently forced to sit in detention instead of participating in this amazing debate, were getting tired of other houses and their founders being 'overlooked' in their words.

So now the three were quite busy deciding who the heir of each founder was. Although, they started with Gryffindor and were still stuck on him alone.

"You do know Gryffindor was a redhead, right? And it has been in our genetics since you have a record of the name Weasley." George pointed out, because of course, both he and Fred were convinced they could be the descendants of their great founder.

"So you're telling me Percy is the heir of Gryffindor?" Lee questioned with a raised eyebrow, making both Fred and George turn silent for a moment.

"He's adopted." They both suddenly stated, making Olivia turn to them with a small frown on her face. "What? We didn't say anything bad!"

"What do you think Olivia? Could the Weasleys be heirs of Gryffindor?" Fred questioned as he swung his arm around her shoulders, trying to lead her around one of the corners, but Liv knew better than to let him deter her from her path and pushed him in the direction of the other.

"Maybe, maybe there are no heirs of Gryffindor left. And it shouldn't matter either, I mean, it's not like being an Heir makes someone better than others, is it? Everyone should be treated the same, independent of whose heir they are." Olivia finally shared her own thoughts. She didn't care if they were Gryffindor's heirs, or if Harry was Slytherins, or whoever belonged to which house. In her eyes, they were all just her friends.

"Well, I think we can skip the discussion about Hufflepuff." Lee said with a chuckle, making Olivia turn to him with a questioning look. Why would Hufflepuff deserve to be skipped? She didn't see a point in guessing any of them, but Hufflepuff didn't deserve to be overlooked.
