Things seemed to get a bit more chaotic with the start of a new term.
The school was crowded again, and everyone seemed to be booking down for the end-of-the-year exams.
Just two weeks into the new term, Dumbledore made an unexpected announcement during dinner.
"We will be going through a new student learning program with another school. For the next few weeks, they will be staying at Hogwarts with us and experiencing the school life here. Let us welcome our fellow school... Lagora Institution of Magic."
Immediately, whispers filled the Great Hall, and there was a mixture of awe and terror in the air.
The heavy double doors opened, and a stream of male students entered the room.
Their brown-and-black uniforms mirrored their hollow expressions. Some of them had piercings, and others even had tattoos. One of them flicked his forked tongue, and he sneered at a few Hufflepuffs, making them reel back with frightened gasps.
Tension buttered the room, and uneasiness filled the air.
There was something unsettling about these students.
"Legora? THE Legora?!" Ron looked appalled, and Hermione was starting to look sick, too. Harry and Seraphina were one of the clueless ones.
"What about Legora?" Seraphina asked.
Neville, who was sitting beside her, turned to her and whispered frantically, "The school is notorious for its students. They're mostly delinquents who were expelled from other schools. Rumor has it, they're one step away from Azkaban. Blimey, why did Dumbledore agree to let them stay here with us?!" He tugged on his tie, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
Ron lowered his head and whispered, "A lot of them practice dark magic. I heard one of them used voodoo to bewitch another student, and he ate him up for dinner!"
"Ugh, gross!" Hermione made a face. She wasn't about to eat dinner now.
It's definitely the one with the forked tongue. I could just tell he's evil. God, he looks like a snake. I hate snakes. One more reason why I didn't want to be in Slytherin. But now that I think of it, I'd rather be locked in a room with one of them than stay in this school with those new students.
Seraphina made the mistake of looking up, and she grimaced when Snape Boy smirked at her. She looked away but locked eyes with a different student. He was tall and bony, and he had long dirty blonde hair. He had cold blue eyes, but they weren't like Draco's icy blue ones.
(Yes, Jamie Campbell Bower played the younger version of Gellert Grindelwald and he used to be engaged to Bonnie Wright, but I just thought his image was the closest to this character I came up with. So feel free to imagine him as someone else!)
