On a typical day at the Henrich's home in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, during the Christmas holidays, there was an interesting conversation between father and son over dinner.

Henry: Son, please stop causing so much trouble at Hogwarts.

Rodrick: Then change my school, you know that in Durmstrang I wouldn't give you these problems.

Henry: We now live in the UK, and you will go to the local school, end of discussion.

Rodrick: By the way, have you seen the news yet? They say that many Muggles have disappeared in a few days, the Ministry of Magic believes that it could be the Death Eaters led by a certain Tom Riddle.

Henry: Do not worry about that, The UK is during a civil war, but that just means there are brits killing each other, it doesn't concern us.

Rodrick: But now we live in the UK, if you had to choose a side, what would it be and why?

Henry: Well… if I had to choose... the ones who killed your mother were Muggles.

Rodrick: How do you know? You didn't give them a chance to say anything.

Henry: Well, one day I had to tell you. For hundreds of years, Muggles have feared wizards and that is why they hunt us down. In these times, most Muggles believe that magic is a fiction, but there are still a few who know the truth; our surname Heidrich comes from the German "Haiden" which means "Pagans" and "Reich" which means "Power", this is because the first Heidrichs that existed were the most powerful magicians in Germany and having such an evident surname the "Holy" Inquisition persecuted us until we were almost extinct, the Muggles of that order carried crucifixes like the ones the men who killed your mother had.

Rodrick: How is it possible that Muggles can hunt us to near extinction if they don't have magic?

Henry: Because there are laws in the wizarding world that forbid us to use our abilities to harm Muggles, laws that Mr. Riddle wants to remove, laws that we had to flee Germany and hide in Northern Ireland, after avenging your mother.

Back to school, in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Edward Mannock taught the spell “Flipendo” to the students of Slytherin and Ravenclaw; During practice, Severus Snape sent Quirinus Quirrell flying, Xenophilius Lovegood fell silent before Rolanda Hoch's wand and Celestia Gaunt offered to face Rodrick Henrich, Rodrick felt extremely confident, but Celestia was much faster and made him kiss the ground, all the students of both houses laughed incessantly. Celestia wanted to anger Rodrick by saying "Is this how they fight in Durmstrang?", It was a great surprise to everyone that, when Rodrick stands up, he responded to Miss Gaunt's taunt with "You did well, congratulations you silly girl" and crestfallen silently took his seat, only thinking that a British girl had beaten him cleanly.

During the following classes Rodrick would keep quiet and when the flying class with Professor George McElroy in conjunction with Gryffindor came something interesting would happen, Lilly Evans fell from her broom and the teacher personally took her to the hospital wingthen James Potter and Sirius Black began to annoy Severus Snape, on their broomsticks James snatches from Severus his potions book who rides his broomstick to try to retrieve it, but James passed the book to his friends Sirius, Remus and Peter. Celestia was the only one who tried to help Severus.

Gaunt: Leave Severus alone already! Give him back his book!

Potter: What if we don't want to, awful girl?

Black: You better shut up, you silly brat!

Pettigrew: That's right, step aside if you know what suits you.

Lupin: We don't want to hurt you, we're just playing (at that moment James Potter passed with his broom very close to Celestia pushing her)

Henrich: “Flipendo” (Rodrick, who had been quiet, pulled the four bullies from their brooms)

Snape: Thank you very much (as he picks up his book from the floor)

Henrich: Who messes with Celestia messes with me, she is a silly girl, but She is MY silly girl.

Gaunt: I didn't ask for your help… but thanks (Celestia was blushing because she had never received such attention, although she was not ugly, she was not outstanding for her beauty either)

Henrich: If you don't like me, I know it's my fault, but I won't offer you an apology either silly girl, so don't get your hopes up (averting his gaze as he spoke with his arms crossed)

After that class Rodrick would become less obnoxious while James and his friends would avoid bothering Severus near of Celestia and Rodrick, whenever they found him alone, they accosted him, and They earned the nickname "Marauders" because they always stalked Snape to make him a bad joke.
