Corvan

The chill that came from the boy was felt by the students around him, and they kept their distance from him. But the reason for this predicament, Ezereath, was still oblivious of what happened.

Still staring at the digital floating hat, and from time to time talk with the strawberry blonde boy, she unintentionally evoked feelings that were foreign to him.

The only obvious change is his facial expression.

Looking at him again, she knitted her brows seeing that the children around him maintained distance. She felt the chill around him but did not feel any discomfort.

It is kinda cool, because I am feeling kinda hot in the crowded group of first years.

Like, literally cool.

Noticing the earlier change of her expression, he warmed a bit and tried to conceal his emotions when suddenly a name was called.

"Ezereath Hunter"

Seeing her jolt and whispering to herself, he realized that she is called.

Ezereath, huh?

His smile was not noticed by anyone around him, except for his cousin who felt his change of emotions as far as the Slytherins' table.

'Oh damn, he's happy. That is super creepy. What made him feel so happy? Is there anything bad that is going to happen?' Ophiucus thought and shivered.

Meanwhile, the other students were thinking of other things.

'Are there any wizard family with the name Hunter?'

'I don't know. Maybe another muggle born?'

Before she move forward, she looked back and tried to politely answered their questions.

"My mum's a witch, my dad's a muggle. So maybe I am a half-blood? But surely not a muggle born, or am I considered one because of a muggle parent? Hehe" she laughed and proceeded to walk forward.

"Ezereath Scarlet-Hunter. Female. Ravenclaw!"

Like mum, huh? Magic spells is my forte too... Am I following her steps?

"Scarlet... Isn't that where that witch specializing in chantless Ice magic belongs?"

"A witch that specializes in a specific element is weird"

"Especially when one is also gifted in using chantless spells"

"Can she also do chantless spells? That would be cool"

Skipping happily towards her house and not minding the murmurs around her, she looked at the boy she was with earlier and seeing that he is also looking at her direction, she smiled. As she turned around, she saw in her peripheral vision that the boy's mouth curved upwards.

Oh... he smiled? Or maybe just my hallucination?

Sitting on the ravenclaws' table, she smiled to her housemates and tried to verify whether that boy really smiled or not.

Coz if he really smiled, then his position in the human-object-o-meter will move closer to the human side.

And his smiling face is kinda cute. But I am so not going to tell him that.

Before she can look again, another name was called.

"Corvan Black"

Err... another Black? And I thought they already died out after Sirius Black? Did they suddenly appear like new species or stuff?

The Ancient House of Blacks' line was said to end when Sirius Black died. Did he left an offspring? I haven't heard of him having one and as far as I have heard, he is said to be hellbent on taking care of his bros the Marauders and Harry Potter. Did he go for adoption before the mess happened?

Oh well, I can try asking them. We'll be seeing each other anyway, being first years.

Ezereath was curious who is the other Black when she saw him walking to the front.

Oh... so his name is Corvan? But why is he stopping?

Eh? Black? He's a Black?

She stared at him, wondering how did he become a Black when Sirius Black's the last man who carries that name. Suddenly, the person she is looking at looked back at her for a few seconds before proceeding to take a seat and be sorted.

"Corvan Black, Male. Belong's to the house of Slytherin!"

Slytherin

He's a slytherin.

They said one should be wary towards a Slytherin.

But he's not bad. Just silent.

He stood up and looked at her direction again.

Ezereath smiled, but with a hint of nervousness.

Seeing her smile, not even bothering what is she thinking after knowing his house, he decided to return one back.

Corvan smiled, albeit a small one.

Seeing that mouth curling upwards a bit, she hesitated.

What should I do? I still want to make friends with him?
