A/N: I own nothing and make no money from writing. This story is when Harry Potter's kids have kids and they are in school, and no I will not be starting off with first year. I will add links to my bio so you know how I picture the Slytherin common room and dorms.

My legs ached as I ran through the forbidden forest, my heart was thumping wildly in my chest. Finally I decided to stop, I bent over, my hands on my knees, and my breathing labored. The school year was starting in two days but I had been here for about two months, it was a lonely existence since there were very few kids that stayed during summer. But I at least had time to study for the school year ahead and could be alone when I needed to be, I knew that would stop once the school year started. I didn't know how well I would be able to handle being around so many people again but my mom would want to put on a brave face and push through this.

I had transferred from the Salem Institute for Witches and Wizards, the headmistress decided I would be safer out of country. A killer had escaped from the island prison κακό πνεύμα and killed my parents, he was put into κακό πνεύμα for murdering the rest of my family and a neighboring family many years ago. It was easy to tell that there were few people who knew who he was but were unwilling to come forth with that information. I don't understand why he hadn't killed me along with my mom and dad, he just decided to torture me until the wizarding police showed up. Then he vanished, it was as if he was never there. But the carnage he left behind made no one doubt what I had been through.

I sat on a fallen tree and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, upon arriving I had been sorted into Slytherin therefore I was able to move into a room where three other girls would also move into. I chose a bed that was near the large windows, I liked to sit on the padded windowsill and watch the stars and any creatures that would scamper in the night. It was the only peace of mind I got, I slept maybe three hours a night if not less. Ever since that night it had been harder to sleep and when I did finally sleep I was plagued with nightmares, most just replays of what had happed.

I stood and turned my music up before I ran back the way I came, I knew not to stray too far even though it was bright and early, McGonagall was waiting for me when I got to the front of the forest. I picked up my Slytherin bag and took a rag from it to wipe the sweat from my face, neck, and chest.

"You've been running quite a lot lately Miss. Nox" she said as we walked up to the castle.

"Yeah, it helps me clear my head." I hadn't really talked to anyone since I got here except headmistress McGonagall.

"I see, and so does Quidditch?" she smiled a bit, most likely already knowing the answer.

"Yes, thank you for teaching me." I wasn't surprised that she was so good, she had worked here for so long.

"You were very easy to teach and it was quite enjoyable. Students are starting to come, one has already chosen your dorm." She stopped, turned into a cat and began heading another way. She did that often.

I sighed before I began jogging to the castle. McGonagall had already decided I would be on the Slytherin Quidditch team, I didn't have much say in the matter but I guess it would help me focus on other things rather than some things.

I walked into my dorm, so far no one was there but someone had chosen the bed opposite mine. I grabbed clothes and headed to the showers. I needed to whip up another container of various soaps but I had enough for another shower. I took my time showering, shaving, and drying myself off.

I put my hair up, lotioned myself, then dressed for the day. It was only ten when I was finished, my jog only lasted two hours and my shower only lasted one. I applied my usual make up and headed down to the library, I pulled an apple out of my bag and ate it as I walked.

I turned a corner and was knocked over by a boy with white hair. "I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting to run into anyone so early before school starts."

"Um, it's alright. Next time don't assume anything and also watch where you're going" I said as he offered me his hand, I ignored him and helped myself up before dusting myself off. He bent and picked up the things that had fallen out of my bag, shoving most in except my journals.

"Do you write or draw?" he asked with a cheeky smile, I actually found it quite cute. But I was still annoyed that he knocked me down.

"A bit of both, not too good though" I took my journals, slipped then in my bag and was about to leave when he grabbed my wrist.

"My name is Matthias" after a few seconds of awkward silence I understood he wasn't going to let go of my wrist unless I also introduced myself.

"Mine is Zelena" with that he let go of my wrist, without another word I headed to the library leaving the white haired boy to stand there.

I browsed through the books and picked one that I was using to study yesterday. I had to make sure I wasn't behind and looking like an idiot during classes. So far I was just brushing up on what I already knew and some stuff we would be covering for the first few classes.

After an hour I decided I was finished and put the book on the cart for the librarian to put away later. "Hey there, are you new here? I don't think I've ever seen you around" a boy asked as I started browsing again, I sighed in aggravation. I guessed this was going to happen a lot now that the school year was beginning but it was already annoying.

"Uh, yeah I am. Transferred from the Salem Institute." His eyes widened a bit as he smirked.

"You came here from America?" I didn't know why he sounded so surprised, it wasn't anything special. But I guess coming from another country would seem quite special to quite a few people.

"Obviously, but I'd rather not talk about why."

"Well, I'll figure out one way or another." I growled in response but he just smirked, "Don't worry pretty girl I'll wait until you're ready, I guess. But anyway, what's your name?

I turned my back and kept looking through the books, searching for a good read. "I asked you a question" I heard his footsteps coming closer.

"And I chose to ignore it" I said as I took a book from the shelf, my wand in hand. He touched my shoulder, I whipped around and pressed my wand to his throat. "Do not touch me, I am not in the mood to deal with the likes of you."

"Adrion, I see you're already making new friends." An older man said as he approached us, "Would you please remove your wand from my sons' throat?"

Without responding I pulled away, leaving a fairly sized scratch on his neck. Adrion grinned as he stepped away, "Now, I would like to know the name of such a feisty little girl."

"Zelena, can I go now?"

"I'm Scorpius Malfoy, I apologize for my sons' lack of manners. You are quite obviously not in the mood for conversation. Thank you for your time" with that he and his son turned and left.

I began searching for another book, checked them out, and put them in my bag before checking the time. It was already one, it was time for lunch for those who were here, including people who were just touring the campus for tomorrow. The sorting for first years was tomorrow and classes would begin the next day. I had gotten the fifth year schedule this morning from McGonagall, I had to wake up at midnight on Saturdays. Well that's if I slept at all.

Thank you for reading, leave a review if you would like.
