Xavier snorted softly, pausing near enough to the edge of the lake that they could see its surface but far enough away that the Giant Squid wouldn't splash them. Picking out a comfortable rock to sit on, he gestured for Adelaide to take the rock next to his, bringing his knees to his chest he takes a deep breath and rolls his shoulders. "I'm a pure-blood heir of my family and yet my younger brother has won my parents favor. He'llbe starting next term, I don't resent him however my parents are another story, I also believe that Slythern house shouldn't be judged for what's in the past." He paused as his words filled the air, almost everyone in his House distrusted of him because he believed the snakes innocent, shaking his head and blinking his eyes as a frigid breeze blew around them he began once more. "Most of the students at the time were either fighting for the Dark or Light side, no one really saw the struggle happening behind closed doors. I'm sure you've read the book that Harry Potter published two years after the war? "In Memory: The true hero's of the War"? That tells the truth that no one even tried to look into. The house-elves told me that it wasn't just lies etched into parchment like most of the rubbish the [b]Daily Prophet[/b] prints everyday. I bought it mostly of curiosity, now it's something I depend on when the harsh comments are thrown around with no care for repercussions. Harry wrote about the war and how it was for him, but it wasn't just that, he mentioned others that played key roles. My views vary from those of my House that at times I wish I could be resorted and see if I get into Slytherin, though that can't happen so I'm stuck with people who hate me and have tried to silence my 'traitorous words'." Reaching for a pebble and tossing it into the wster, Xavier kept that fact that he wanted to follow Harry Potter and become an Auror, not to gain game but to rid the world of the threats that would more then likely arise. Placing his chin on his folded knees, Xavier watched absently as a ripple began to expand along the inky surface, it was oddly calming. Absently reaching into the folds of his robes, Xavier tugged a worn leather pouch from his pocket and gently tugged the strings open, fingers tugging a small red-white tablet from within before his other hand tied the strings and placed the bag within his pocket. Placing the tablet on his tongue he swallows and feels the tightness of his limbs fade instantly. It wouldn't do him any good passing out, he didn't need another scolding. [@Elorwin]
