This is the second proper chapter of a
story I'm writing for
epilogue_hp; it's set the morning after the
prologue, in which that year's students travel to Hogwarts, roughly 20 years after the events of

Deathly Hallows epilogue- one in which Slytherin House has been reopened after a nineteen-year shutdown (due to rampant anti-Slytherin paranoia following the events of
Deathly Hallows) just in time for a certain eleven-year-old to go to Hogwarts- and be sorted into Slytherin, whereupon he and his Housemates reluctantly
decide to attempt to rehabilitate the reputation of their controversial House. With half the school convinced that they're Death Eaters in training, it won't be easy...
