Chapter 33: Gifts and rage
A few days passed and the holidays are gone. The gift is still at the Christmas tree. Ravenclaws who returned that day got curious and opened it. They saw the name Henry on it and quickly closed it.
Anthony saw this and informed Henry," so you're saying I have a gift near the Christmas tree sent by a woman named Helen ", his voice has a chill in it. Anthony trembled when he heard that.
Henry looked at Cassandra who is looking at him with a sad gaze. He felt that soft spot again, anger welled up in his mind. Damn, this fate thread is playing too much with him. He goes to the common room and picked up the gift without even looking at the gift or it's contents he only saw the name Helen on it.
Helen vole to be precise from the writing. He took it angrily and comes back from the common room. His appearance and steps looks menacing, Slytherin immediately became vigilant and professors also thought something bad is going to happen.
But Henry stood in front of Cassandra and placed the gift there. Then he looked at her with a cold gaze and said," never play these tricks in front of me again. I maybe poor but that doesn't mean I'll be your willing servant just because of some gifts. Tell your family not to do these childish tricks again ".
Cassandra is confused while Henry walked away. Cassandra picked up the package and saw her mother's name on it. Inside there are clothes, a new model magic phone, some candies and a bag of galleons. looking at Henry's body that is still emitting the bone cold chilness and hatred, tears welled up in her eyes.
She just put the package away and ate the food in silence. Slytherin meanwhile glared at him, but a look from Henry is all it takes to silence and scare them. Every one of them trembled at his cold gaze. Dumbledore looked at this and felt if he don't take action there might be another dark lord.
He wanted to stay out of students affairs at first and instructed the professors to do the same. Frankly he did it so he can get Henry to join the side of order, then he can reveal truth to Cassandra. But it seems some measures needs to be taken now. Either soft ones or hard ones.
But he don't know Henry is not someone who he can give a warning. The present Henry is above his caliber. A susanoo is enough to wipe out this school off the map here. He is only holding back because he has other things to take care of and knowledge to gain or else Henry wouldn't even bother with the school anymore.
Henry ate silently not paying attention to the scared gazes of ravenclaw. He long a since discarded their attention as a mere hindrance to him. To Henry now the only thing that matters is the strength.
No one disturbed him too, Rose Potter and Hermione felt he is going in a wrong path. Even when meeting hagrid, Henry is like this. just a normal visit, he doesn't talk too much and as for his past, he will be silent whenever they asked him about this. They only heard he lived on streets and became thief in vole manor after they rescued him.
At first they're disgusted but observing Henry they can see he isn't such type of person. Slytherin house started saying he is an ungrateful guy again by pointing that he refused a gift from Helen vole who has a soft spot on him and taking advantage of this to make Cassandra sad.
Since his reputation isn't good in Hogwarts, naturally Henry suffered these blamed again and their pointed fingers. But they can only point him from his back as they're scared what this will do to them. Not all of them are happy though.
Cassandra is one of them. She scolded her subordinates for this. Holding herself in the locked room she cried, beside her is Daphne Greengrass. She is holding back her tears due to the news she received. Her father is trying to arrange her marriage with nott family or flint family.
For now he is deciding which one will benefit better for him.
