So this was Slytherin House.
That Sorting Hat really knew its stuff.
"Ahhh...yes. Yes, yes, yes. I know precisely what to do with you...SLYTHERIN!" it had told her.
A smirk made its way across Rhiannon's face. She'd read about Salazar Slytherin, its founder. She knew what he valued. This brilliant wizard valued the total package: cunning, ambition, intelligence--and purity of blood.
Slytherin valued only the best.
At least I won't have to share a space with any Mudbloods around here, she thought, her dark eyes continuing to peruse the common room, which was quite cozy, despite it being a dungeon.
And it wasn't just about her House--this was HOGWARTS. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was really here.
WOW.
"Absolutely amazed" didn't even BEGIN to describe how Rhiannon viewed her new school. She made a mental note to do some more wandering around at another time.
This is where I was supposed to be all along. Right here. And you tried to keep me away. You lied. You turned my entire life into a lie just because they were Death Eaters. Who were they, you scum? Who were my real parents? You sent me all the way to the States because you couldn't risk me finding them, couldn't risk me learning the truth--learning the type of people you really are, she then thought bitterly. Well, I'm here now, and I'm completely in charge of my own life, which means I am that much closer to finding them. And I WILL find them. Oops--looks like your little plan failed, doesn't it?
Damn them. Damn the Mitchells.
Rhiannon hated them both.
As soon as I find my birth family, I'm contacting the Ministry and changing my last name to that of my REAL parents, Rhiannon thought. They wouldn't have made it into the Death Eaters if they were Mudbloods, so it shouldn't be that hard to find them...
Perhaps some old Daily Prophet articles? Did the library keep any of those? Maybe they'd be mentioned briefly in a book about magical history? Rhiannon failed to see how the Death Eaters wouldn't have made it into at least ONE book about Lord Voldemort.
