Chapter 32

Severus bring them back to the dormitory and let all of them sit on the couch and sofa in the common room.

Severus said," I know that all of you are very excited and happy to be able to become members of this student council they have created but as your housemate, I must tell all of you about what is the real truth behind this sudden announcement."

Amelia asked in confusion," what could be suspicious about this after all we are getting such special treatment and we should also feel proud that headmasters think that we are capable of taking such a responsibility."

Severus smiled hearing her words and Regulus also supported her words with a nod but Lily and Hope didn't say anything but they were also confused by Severus's words this time.

Severus said with a smile," Your reaction is just what they want from us but all of you didn't notice the eyes full of resentment of other house students. the headmasters are indirectly isolating us from the other houses."

Regulus frowned and asked," Isolating us? how did you reach that conclusion?"

Severus said," The name 'Astarot' means 'the Leading one' and it also symbolizes the real reason behind the creation of our house. After the creation of Hogwarts four founders found that the rivalry between the houses is getting bigger every year and they also know that if they didn't do something for this then it will become a reason for war so they consult it with their most talented student and come up with the solution of creating a house which will guide the other four houses."

Everyone in the room become surprised by this sudden revelation of information by Severus and Regulus asked," How did you know all this and how it is related to our isolation?"

Severus smiled and said," I know all this because I was able to reach the first puzzle which will take us to the Secret Library of Merlin and founders, do you think that the headmasters will allow a certain house about whom they don't know anything about growing to a certain force and by giving us the responsibility of punishing other students, it will give birth to hate of other students towards us when we will punish them."

After listening to Severus's explanation of them realised what is happening and Hope said," The Headmasters deserve their reputation, They were able to come up with such a strong strategy against us in just one day."

Severus shook his head and said," They didn't come up with this strategy because in ancient times 'Senju Tobirama' did the same thing with the Uchiha clan. This strategy will also divide our house's members."

Lily asked with surprise," how will it divide us as we are all together and will face all challenges together."

Severus turned his eyes towards Amelia and Regulus, he asked," Have you thought about who will become the president of the student council?"

After Severus asked this question then suddenly dawn come upon everyone and all of them looked at him with surprise, Regulus said," It will create a rivalry between five of us for the position of President and if anyone did become president then none of the other members will be satisfied with him."

Severus said with a smile," correct, so now what all of you think about the current situation."

Amelia said," I think we should tell the headmasters that we are not ready for such big responsibility and they should give it to someone else."

Severus shook his head and said," there are two reasons why we can't say this to headmasters. First of all, they have already explained the reason why they chose us and do you think when they will say ' I hope you can take over this work ' will you able to say no to him and second, do you think any house will accept a position rejected by first-year students of some unknown house which has no history."

Hope with a frown asked," Then what should we do because their plan is full proof in a way."

Severus said," first we should choose the person who is most appropriate to become the president and then he will have to think about how to deal with this situation."

Lily said," you are leaving us alone in this situation by not proposing yourself as a candidate for this position."

Severus with a tired expression," of course because I don't want to participate in children's gameplay. I already have plans for this whole month about what to do while I won't be attending classes."

Hope," Seriously Sev, are you really not going to take part? this situation is really against us and you are just going to leave us alone at this time."

Severus with an innocent face," practically four people who are together can never be alone and if you are talking about the matters of the heart so I don't understand them very much."

Hope glared at him and Severus just sighed and said," Okay, I know what are you thinking but do you think that these two members of our house who belongs to the pureblood family will accept anyone among the three of us."

Amelia and Regulus were again surprised by Severus's remark but can not refute it because this was the image of pureblood families among the normal wizards.

Amelia understood that among all of them Severus is the only one who can handle this situation and she turned her eyes towards Severus and said," if you become the president then I will support you."

All of them were surprised by Amelia's words and Regulus after analysing the situation also said," I also don't have a problem if you become president."

This was an even bigger surprise for the trio and Severus turned his head towards Hope and Lily with a questioning look.

Lily said," We never had a problem with you becoming president as we know how capable you are."

Severus smiled and said," Now if everyone wants the same then I will reluctantly accept your this position and by this, I have already planned about how to solve this matter."

Severus give a mysterious smile and everyone looked at him with a bored look.
