It came to no one's surprise that the Gryffindors immediately began their uproar when the strangers surrounded the tables in the Great Hall. Minjae craned his neck in order to see what was happening over at that table and he paled a little knowing what had happened to that Luck kid.

'Cowards' Minjae thought as he made a fist with his uninjured hand but he remained seated and quiet. As a seventh year he felt that he had a responsibility and turning the attention to their table would be unwise. Especially since the Hufflepuffs were staying quiet.

Then the speech came and Minjae tried his best to capture every word that the new Headmaster was saying. Not that he was interested but he feared that if he didn't pay attention he'd meet the same fate as Adam Luck did.

When the forms were handed out, the Hufflepuff frowned down at the questions and upon seeing the word Heritage and Muggle upliftment he froze. The quill in his hand began to tremble and using his other hand he tried to keep it steady. A cold sweat broke out and he tugged on his tie to loosen it up. He wasn't stupid, he knew about certain wizarding folk who did not look kindly at Muggleborns. And he had a terrible feeling that they were exactly those people.

Hand still trembling, the seventh year wrote down his name and house but he stopped then, his dark brown eyes transfixed on the paper and not daring to look up. Should he lie? Say he was pureblood? That his parents worked at the ministry? But what if they found out that he had lied? Were they going to do background checks? Were the consequences of being a Muggleborn more terrible than lying that he was a Pureblood?

He heard Flynn's question but his brain did not process it as he was too worried about himself at the moment. Eventually, he decided to be brave and answer truthfully.

When he finished writing, Minjae immediately regretted getting sassy on the paper but the moment he bend down to cross out some things the form suddenly went away and his stomach dropped.

Crap...
