Welcome To Beauxbatons. You are a Tom Marvolo Riddle, SV!

I don't think we hear the nymphs differently because we're evil, but because of some other trigger. There's a significant theme in Potterverse that how you experience magic doesn't reflect on your morality.

Only those who have seen death can see thestrals, so I expect that it's some unhappy experience we've had that makes nymphs sound awful. Maybe because we're an orphan?
Maybe it has something to do with us being a parselmouth?
It's the only language-related thing I can thing of, and it might somehow interfere with the nymphs.
 
[X] Head outside. You're dressed and have your stuff gathered. You need nothing else.

We should make our roommate's life harder. Didn't want to talk because you wanted to sleep huh ? Well then, sleep well. *notapetulantchildatall*

I'm honestly curious as to why people think that revealing our resistance to Nymph song will automatically out as a bit of a jerk?

We're not sure. But imagine revealing that you cannot stand hearing a phoenix sing, because whatever sounds as an uplifting and wondrous melody to others is just horrible noise to you. It's not ultimate proof that we're an evil, evil child, but it skews suspicion heavily in that direction.

Maybe there's some other reason that our perception of their song is so different from others', who knows? But it's better to avoid the risk and research things first.

Hmm, the fear of early social ostracism then. Well, seems a little hypocritical since we associate with Camille D'eath of all people, but I understand.

...Well, yeah, you could call it that. Though saying that everyone (students, teachers, whoever else hears about it) considering us evil at the age of eleven (how much worse would we get with age?) is social ostracism... that's putting it a bit lightly. Camilla's problems would seem really minor in comparison if that happened.
 
Hearing phoenix songs as terrible screeching instead of beautiful is something that literally only happens to Evil people. Not Bad people, or Unpleasant people, Evil people.

If nymph songs work the same way, than the social stigma would be the difference between "he's friends with a couple weirdos" and "he's literally the spawn of Satan". That's why we're worried about it.

Interesting quest. With the focus on manners and etiquette, and his own inherent evil, I must ask, what do we need to turn Tom into Gomez Addams?
We'll he will probably need to make a Horcrux early if we want to hit the proper levels of insanity.

Gomez also needs a Morticia, so really we should make a Horcrux by killing D'Eath and then implanting the Horcrux into the recently dead body, bringing it back to life with some medical assistance.

From then on Tom and her start 'Dating' and Tom finally has someone he an consider his equal. Himself.
 
Chapter One, Part Two

Chapter One, Part Two

All right, this is the last chance for your roommate to prove himself worthy of minion-hood. If he does not accept your graceful offer of waking him up, then he is to be considered a mere natural ornament like a forgotten candle leftover from Christmas that stays for months on the windowsill until someone comes by to eat said candle remnant in a fit of hunger.

And as you shake him a bit, he opens his eyes wide.

"It's morning. You'll be late if you don't wake up," you say in a flawless French -hoping he understands it at least.

He apparently does, because he yawns and nods, before turning to the side and falling asleep once more.

...

"It's morning," you say one last time, "Wake up or you'll be late."

He delivers you a thumb-up from the side of the covers, and then comfortably stays where he is.

Well, he's the one who's passing on the free breakfast.

You most certainly will not.

Hence, you head out of the room and into the hallway, where indeed a 'Denonciateur' is going around gathering the students. "Riddle and Poitiers?" he says as he nears your door, a scroll in hand.

"Present-" you say, only for another voice to join in soon after yours.

"Here I am," Marceaux Poitiers says, smiling brightly as he looks impeccably dressed and ready, even though he wasn't by your side five seconds before.

"Very well, you're the last ones of the hallway. Follow me," the Denonciateur says, "Memorize the road, from tomorrow, it's up to you to find your way to the classrooms and such. Worry not, this isn't like Hogwarts and their madness. Here, no corridor shall move and no stairs will go elsewhere for as long as the French sanity shall prevail."

You refrain from remarking on how the French sanity has them eat frogs, and instead aptly keep your mouth shut.

Although a question does burn at the back of your mind. You are pretty sure you closed the door, so how come Poitiers managed to appear by your side fully dressed and ready in so little time?

[X] Query.
[X] Do not query, food is more important.
[X] Ask questions to the Denonciateur, he's there for a reason, isn't he?
 
Either he's fucking with us, or he's fucking with us. One of the two. Time turners? Clones? Illusions?
No matter, we're onto him!

[X] Do not query, food is more important.
-[X] But note to find out his secret and possibly blackmail him with it later. For educational purposes only, of course.

I was wondering where the next time agent was going to be.
