He hated her with every single inch of his entire being. She hated him just as much. He was a ex-Death Eater and she was the daughter of the most notorious dark wizards. The first moment he laid eyes on her, Draco knew she was going to be trouble. T...
"Now class, who can tell me about..." Snape hummed as he addressed the class.
I rested my head into my left hand and leaned against the table. I flipped through the black journal carefully, trying to find something about his first Horcrux. I already knew that they had already all been destroyed, by none other than Harry Potter and co., but I was curious as to how he performed each task. How did he become this monster that everyone feared? The one where witches and wizards were scared to even say his name. How did he establish a loyal following such as the Death Eaters? How did he kill with ease?

Tom is different today, he has made us aware that he is the heir of slytherin and thus has opened the chamber of secrets. Part of his soul has been placed in his diary after he helped murder Myrtle Warren. He has kept us in the dark these past few weeks....
"Miss Lestrange..." Snape hummed.
My head snapped up immediately at the mention of my surname. I made eye contact with the dark haired teacher, who raised his thick dark brows at me. I looked over to Blaise with wide eyes, I had no idea what we were talking about. He nodded his chin to a page in his notes.
Ghosts. Goblins. Ghouls and Poltergeists.
Poltergeists.
That's right, we were going to learn his subject around Halloween. I just read about them the other day, the information was fresh in my mind.
"Sir, a poltergeist is similar to a ghost. Like a ghost, a poltergeist is a spirit, but that is where their similarities end. They are not friendly, like a ghost, they like to cause great chaos in their wake. They can be found where people typically like to hang out and old castles make great homes for them. For example, there is a poltergeist in the Slytherin common room that plays tricks on students. Peeves is the castle poltergeist, which Dumbledore is able to control because Dumbledore comes from a place of authority, which they respect. Poltergeists, unlike ghosts, have the ability to move objects and pick things up which gives them ultimately more power. One way to notice if you have a poltergeist, is you will hear banging on walls, objects being thrown across the room, strange and unexplainable smells, and physical attacks."
Snape stared at me, his eyes narrowing at my response.
"And can you tell me who the Slytherin ghost is?"
"The Bloody Baron typically inhabits the common room, but he is also able to be seen throughout the castle" I responded.
Why did he want to know that?
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Snape nodded his head, approving my response. He turned on his heels and walked up the row to the front of the class.
"She wasn't even paying attention" Draco laughed, "how did she know all that. She was probably reading off of Blaise's notes."
