I don't recall seeing you here before. Transfer student or just adept at hiding?
No one here recognizes me. they don't remember me even if I tell them my name.
Well, well, well. Looks like we have ourselves a mystery. I do love a good mystery. Tell me, how exactly do you plan on hiding in plain sight?
By not having anyone recognize me.
Ah, but recognition is such a funny thing, don't you think? Sometimes, it takes a little more than just words to truly remember someone.
I was forgotten by everyone in my previous school. Even though I graduated last year.
Forgiven, you say? That's quite a convenient excuse. But I find it hard to believe that everyone would simply forget someone like you.
You know what? Screw this! turns around and walks away
Wait! Don't go just yet. Perhaps we can help each other out. I happen to have a particular... skillset when it comes to manipulating memories.
Oh, the kind that can make people forget... things they shouldn't. And if you're willing to take a risk, I might just be able to help you start fresh.
Why would you want to help me?
Let's just say I have my own reasons for wanting to play with memories. Think about it, Vargas. With my help, you'll be the talk of the school.
If I had my way, I wouldn't be the talk of the school. his voice trembles
Ah, but that's where you're wrong, my dear Vargas. Being the talk of the school can be quite... intoxicating. Think of the power you'll hold.
Not if they continue to ignore me.
Well then, let's change that, shall we? smirks I'll make sure every eye in this school is on you. Trust me, Vargas, you won't be ignored for long.
Two days later and now Draco, himself becomes fascinated with Vargas.
approaches Vargas You've certainly made quite the impression, Vargas. Who would have thought that a forgotten soul like you could captivate so many?
confused and curious What are you trying to say, Draco?
leans in closer What I'm saying, Vargas, is that I find you quite intriguing. Your mysterious aura, your ability to defy expectations...
leans in even closer, whispering I'm suggesting that we form an alliance, Vargas. Two individuals who crave power and control.
We have different houses, Draco. Different ways. Why would I join you?
Ah, Vargas, you underestimate the power of manipulation. House divisions mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.
The houses… They practically raise us. Draco. They’re everything.
leans back, a calculating smile on his face You may think so, Vargas, but houses are just tools.
Fine. I’ll consider your alliance proposal. flashes his white hair in the sunlight
Very well, Vargas. Consider this a formal offer. Meet me in the abandoned classroom tomorrow at midnight.
the next day he goes to the room.
enters the abandoned classroom, candlelight flickering Welcome, Vargas. I'm glad you decided to take me up on my offer.
