He was gone.
Scorpius Malfoy walked into that auditorium and it was Salazar Black who was apparated out. He didn't feel anything, and he forced it to stay that way.
Salazar Black. The boy the prophecy promised would change the world. The one with a snake tongue.
They thought that Salazar joining them meant their success.
They believed that Salazar was going to lead their movement.
They believed Salazar resembled hope.
Resembled change.
Resembled power.
Selwyn and the zealots didn't trust him, and they certainly weren't going to embrace him with open arms. He'd have to become one of them to convince them. He'd have to become what they think he is.
Salazar wouldn't lead their movement. He wouldn't be their success.
He'd be the orchestrator of their demise.
By the time they figured it out, it would be too late.
Salazar will destroy them all.
