Potter Manor echoed with the cheerful chatter of the young members of the wizarding families on a summer evening. Heinrich, Stella, Draco, and Altair were gathered in the corner of the great hall, telling each other about their summer vacation adventures. However, this evening had a special topic: Stella Lestrange's arrival at Hogwarts.
Preparing for Hogwarts
Stella was excitedly talking about her preparations for Hogwarts. Hogwarts meant a new beginning for Stella, new adventures, and new friendships. As the daughter of Bellatrix Lestrange, Stella had inherited her mother's determination and belief in pureblood superiority.
Stella: "I can't wait to start Hogwarts! I got everything on my list and got ready. Mum and Dad have told me so much about Hogwarts, I wonder what I'll find there."
Draco: (Smiling) "Hogwarts will be a wonderful place, Stella. I'll be there next year too. Maybe we'll meet in Slytherin!"
Altair: "I've heard many stories about Hogwarts. They say there's a Forbidden Forest full of magical creatures. I wonder what kind of creatures we'll see."
Heinrich: (Thoughtfully) "Hogwarts is certainly a fascinating place. But I'm also familiar with Durmstrang's disciplined education thanks to my grandfather. It's hard to decide."
As Stella shared her excitement about Hogwarts, Heinrich wanted to give her some advice. Stella's joy and enthusiasm eased Heinrich's own uncertainty a little.
Stella: "Heinrich, I believe I'll be sorted into Slytherin. My mother and father were there, and I want to follow in their footsteps. I'll show the superiority of the pure-bloods at Hogwarts."
Heinrich: "I'm sure you'll do well in Slytherin, Stella. But you have to be careful there too. The world of magic can be more complicated than it seems sometimes."
The Big Day
When the day came for Stella to leave for Hogwarts, there was a farewell atmosphere at Potter Manor. They gathered in front of the mansion's large gate. Stella was a little excited and a little sad about going to Hogwarts.
Stella: (Hugging Heinrich) "I'll miss you, Heinrich. But we'll keep in touch through letters, right?"
Heinrich: (Smiling) "Of course, Stella. You'll have a great time at Hogwarts. I'll be waiting here eagerly for you."
After saying goodbye to Draco and Altair, Stella set off with her family to board the Hogwarts Express. As Heinrich looked at Stella's silhouette as she disappeared into the distance, he thought about his own future. She was curious about what Stella's experience would be like at Hogwarts.
Stella's First Days at Hogwarts
When she arrived at Hogwarts, everything was magical and new to Stella. The magnificent ceiling of the Great Hall, the colorful flags of the four great houses, and the magical atmosphere of the classrooms deeply affected her. While she was excitedly waiting for the selection to be made between Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, she was also meeting her new friends.
Stella: (Excitedly) "Let's see which house I get. My parents were in Slytherin, but I should definitely be in Slytherin."
Friend: "There's a place for everyone at Hogwarts. I think you'll be successful no matter where you go."
The other students were excited as they watched Stella being called by the hat in turn. When it was finally Stella's turn, the Sorting Hat settled on her head.
Sorting Hat: (Scanning Stella's thoughts) "Hmm... Brave, determined, and a little ambitious. You'd fit in... Slytherin!"
A loud applause broke out at the Slytherin table in the great hall. Stella sat down at her table with her new friends. Although she was a little nervous and shy at first, she quickly adjusted and had a great start at Hogwarts with her new friends. Stella's best friend was Alecto Yaxley, who came from a pureblood family. Alecto was also a strong and determined girl who believed in pureblood superiority.
Alecto: "Stella, being in Slytherin is great. This is where we get to show off the superiority of purebloods. My parents always taught me that."
Stella: "Absolutely Alecto. My mother always told me that purebloods are superior to others. We'll prove it here."
Heinrich's Thoughts
Knowing that Stella would be successful at Hogwarts made Heinrich happy. However, he was still undecided about which school to choose for himself. The lessons he had at Potter Manor with Charlus and Dorea, his observations at the Wizengamot meetings, and his grandfather Gellert's teachings influenced Heinrich's decision.
Heinrich: (To himself) "It's nice to know that Stella is happy at Hogwarts. But I still can't decide which path to take. To follow in Grandfather Gellert's footsteps, or to have new adventures at Hogwarts?"
With these thoughts, Heinrich continued to shape his future plans. While he was eagerly awaiting Stella's adventures at Hogwarts, he also eagerly wanted to know how his own journey would take shape.
