Benedict or Ben
Ben and Mike had come to their assigned Slytherin dungeon common room. There was something already going on, as they noticed a gathering of people in one place.
Slytherin house was infamous for setting boundaries on basis of blood status, and while you can ignore them, it is not advised.
Even a muggle-born, at worst would be ignored by fellow Slytherin members, things were not on the level of blatant bullying and abuse. And while it may not sound good, being ignored is better than the treatment you receive as you stand up against the norms in Slytherin dorms.
So as well go with the stream.
A queue was there for them to register their names and blood status, and even their nobility status.
The nobility status was as follows-
A noble house was a title given to families with a net worth equal to or more than two hundred thousand (200,000) galleons.
A family was said to be the most Ancient house when their family history spanned over six hundred years of history, most of the sacred twenty-eight houses were true, most Ancient houses.
Similarly, the last title or the watered-down version of the previous one was Ancient houses, they had their history spanned over four hundred years.
The Malfoys were just a Noble house but money held more value than history, so they were well celebrated noble house.
"Next!" Lucius Malfoy, prefect of the Slytherin house was helping in recording their names.
"It is my turn." "Name?" "Mike Selwyn, heir of the Ancient and Noble House, Selwyn, one of the sacred twenty-eight" "Hmm, good, you may go to your room," Lucius informed the young Mike.
"Next"
"Benedict Draugr Septim Clotho, heir of the families, Clotho and Septim, as for their history, I am not particularly informed about that."
"You know nothing about your history?" Malfoy asked
"I know bits, Septims were royals who reigned over their land for about seven hundred years, Clotho family- I do not know much about except they left me a cottage. Draugr is just a middle name." Benedict replied (I like calling him Benedict instead of Ben)
"I will bite. That makes you one of the most ancient families as for your net worth, can you introduce me to your wealthy persona, Mr. Septim." Lucius asked, with an amused expression. He had all the time to ask the last one of the new Slytherins.
"I did not inherit a fortune from my blood relatives, although I am well endowed from my adoptive parents in the wealth area, I would not like to indulge there."
"Understandable, muggle wealth is not what we wizard take in the view when talking with fellow magic-endowed individuals. Your room is set to be the corner one, with your roommate being someone you may be familiar with, the Selwyn child. The rules of Slytherin dorm are quite vague but at the same time strict so I will advise you to follow them." Lucius explained while closing the book. He then turned to his room as his work here for the night as prefect was finished.
Benedict came around his room and saw Mike asleep on one bed. He then unpacked and organized what luggage he carried and following that tugged himself into the bed to sleep.
