They had an entire school year ahead of them, after all.
The seventh year stared out of the carriage, watching the other carriages being pulled by the unseen thestrals. He jerked his head back in Henric's direction when he heard his voice again. Without another word, he unfurled the paper. "According to mom, his name is Declan Montgomery. She also told me he married Emillie Jane Krauss, another Slytherin.''
Adi shut up now to let the news sink in. He had earlier debated himself on whether or not to tell Henric about all of this because it would just bring up unwanted memories but then he decided against not telling him. He didn't think it would be right to keep such things from his friend.
Henric waited patiently for Adi to announce the name of the man. Declan Montgomery? He wondered what kind of person he was. But wait....Adi mentioned another name which he didn't expect to hear at all! A woman's name by the name Emilie Jane Krauss. How could both his birth parents be in Slytherin? It didn't make any sense to him at all and not only that, they both tied the knot to each other?! Henric stared at Adi's crumpled piece of note in his hands in disbelief, if he had magical birth parents...this could only mean that he wasn't a muggleborn like most of his friends thought he was.
"Can I s-see it again.."Henric asked Adi politely for the note. He wanted to see it for himself. Those two names...why did it sound so familiar to him as if he once heard of them in his dreams.
"Are-are t-hey still a-alive? Did your mother kn-know what happened to them?" Henric asked, his voice a little shaky. Henric steeled his heart and prepared himself for Adi's answer to him. What if his birth parents were still alive? There were so many thoughts running through his head, so many questions he had longed for them to be answered.
A new girl whom Henric did not know had come in to join them. He quickly rearranged his face so only a smile could be seen.
"Hi there," he greeted politely
