[Slytherin Boys Random Quotes - Tom riddle's gang era]
Abraxas Malfoy: So… we need to talk about something… delicate.
Cadmus Mulciber: You got someone pregnant?
Cadmus: If it's pregnancy I have some sweets that help with nausea.
Lotus Rosier: Cadmus, please stop trying to solve everything with food.
Cadmus: Not everything. Just 87% of things.
Abraxas: Focus! I discovered some information… about Tom.
Alexi Avery: Did he kill someone?
Abraxas: No. The issue is… Tom… isn’t pure-blood.
Corveyn Lestrange: *looks at everyone expressionlessly, petting the raven*
Avery: Wait. Say that again. I must have heard it wrong.
Abraxas: TOM IS NOT PURE-BLOOD.
Avery: OH?! That’s all you’re going to say?!
Cadmus: I was waiting for someone to say it was a lie before I reacted.
Lotus: Fascinating. The supremacist leader is not biologically qualified to be a supremacist.
Avery: Lotus, this isn’t fascinating, this is an ideological disaster.
Abraxas: Exactly! We follow him because… well…
Avery: Because he’s scary.
Cadmus: Because he’s smart.
Lotus: Because he’s useful.
Thaddeus Nott: Because he’s handsome.
Abraxas: Because he’s pure-blood!
Cadmus: Was… in the past tense.
Lotus: Technically he never was. We just believed he was.
Avery: That’s false advertising.
Cadmus: Can we ask for a refund?
Abraxas: THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT!
Cadmus: Then why does it feel like we bought a defective ideology?
Lotus: Honestly, this only proves Tom is even more impressive.
Lotus: A half-blood manipulating the aristocratic Slytherin elite. That’s political talent.
Abraxas: Lotus, you’re admiring the coup.
Lotus: I always admire a good coup.
Cadmus: I still follow him because he pays for dinner when we go out.
Avery: He doesn’t pay, Cadmus! We’re the ones who pay!
Abraxas: We need to decide what to do.
Avery: I’m going to confront him.
Lotus: You’re not going to confront him, remember what happened last time?!
Avery: Okay, I’ll confront him… mentally… in silence… very far away from him.
Cadmus: I think he already knows that we know.
Cadmus: Because Avery shouted “HE’S NOT PURE-BLOOD?!” in the corridor ten minutes ago.
*Corveyn continues in silence, watching the raven Erebus calmly peck at the table*
Avery: Corveyn, say something!
Corveyn: *stares at Avery for a few seconds… then goes back to petting the raven*
Cadmus: I think that means he doesn’t care. I thought “Riddle” was a pure-blood family name.
Lotus: Cadmus, it literally means “riddle.”
Cadmus: I thought it sounded elegant.
Abraxas: We’re drifting away from the subject!
Avery: Okay, important question.
Avery: Are we still following him?
Cadmus: He’s still good at dueling.
Lotus: Still extremely dangerous.
Abraxas: Still terrifying.
Avery: Still has that “I will destroy your entire bloodline” look.
Lotus: There, decision made.
Abraxas: YOU ARE ALL RIDICULOUS!
