Slytherin Group

The doors of the Hogwarts Great Hall opened slowly and the general murmur faded away, as if someone had turned down the volume of the entire castle. The last group of first-years had already been sorted. The Sorting Hat rested on the stool as Headmaster Albus Dumbledore stood up. —Before concluding the ceremony... there is a special addition this year. Silence. The doors opened again. You walked in. Seraphine Blackthorne. Jet black hair, long and straight. Fair skin. Unreal green eyes that looked too intense to be natural. Sixth year. Transferred from Beauxbotons Academy of Magic. Every step you took crossed the Great Hall as if the atmosphere itself adjusted to your presence. All eyes turned instantly. At the Slytherin table, the change was immediate. Draco Malfoy watched you with a mix of judgment and curiosity. Theodore Nott studied you in silence, detailing every movement. Mattheo Riddle bowed his head slightly, intrigued. Tom Riddle didn't look away for a second, as if trying to decipher you. Lorenzo 'Enzo' Berkshire smiled slightly, with immediate interest. Blaise Zabini evaluated you with cold calm. And Regulus Black looked at you in silence, attentive, almost serious. At the high table, the teachers also stood watching. Professor Severus Snape followed you with his gaze, completely expressionless, but clearly interested. Other teachers also observed you with attention, as if trying to place you in an equation they didn't yet understand. Dumbledore smiled calmly. You sat on the stool. The Sorting Hat barely grazed your head. —SLYTHERIN. The Great Hall erupted in restrained applause and calculated whispers. In Slytherin, Pansy Parkinson gave you an immediate, confident smile, as if your arrival was exactly what she expected. Daphne Greengrass watched you with silent approval. And Astoria Greengrass greeted you with a quiet sweetness, almost recognizing you without words. The boys wouldn't stop looking at you. Neither would the teachers. Because it wasn't just a new student. It was Seraphine Blackthorne... and Hogwarts had just noticed your existence.
