The sun shone brightly through the sheer curtains in my window. I squinted and turned over to the other side where it was dark.

I opened one eye to see another one staring at me from the side of my mirrored furniture. I grabbed my wand from the night stand and with a slight wave and a whisper the curtains closed. I sat up in bed and looked around my dorm. All of the other girls had gone to breakfast. I lazily rolled out of bed to the foot of my bed where my trunk was. I shuffled through the mass of clothes and pulled out my socks,trousers and of course my Ravenclaw tie.

I walked down to the showers with my things and set them on the bench. A couple girls were here but not many. I tied my hair into a messy bun and turned on the water to start warming.

"You know,People wont recognize you with such messy hair,and what is this?" My cousin Lucy had just walked in critiquing me. I rolled my eyes as she scrutinized the things in my shower tote.

"If you don't mind,I'd like to shower with out the fashion police up my ass."

she made a face and dropped my shampoo.

I showered quickly and put on my things. The trip to the Great Hall was a long one. I walked briskly taking in my surroundings. I saw Albus sitting under the stair well reading a book with the other Slytherins.

"Oi!" he caught up to me and hooked my arm.

"Won't speak eh?" he asked.

"I didn't think you would hear me over your oh so loyal possee.

"I always hear you of hear, do you have the study sheet for that oral report."

I reached into my bag and grabbed him the guide.

"Now if you excuse me there is a piece of toast and vegimite with my name on it."

Breakfast was plain and orderly. I went to potions early. Slughorn bantered me on with his usual talk of danger and such. I pretended to listen until class started.

The day was as usual and I ended up at the place I usually did. By the Black lake.

I watched as the surface bubbled and the people around me studied or played frisbee or something of the sort. I basked in the relaxation but of course that didn't last long.

"Dominique!" I turned to see little Rose with Louis behind her running toward me.

"Professor Flitwick wanted to see you! He told us to get you!" she said .She was just a little second year ,she was excited a teacher gave her a job.

"Thanks Rose."

I gently knocked on Flitwick's door.

"Come in Come in!"

Inside were shelves and shelves of trinkets and bits and bobs.

"Thank you for coming dear! I needed you to run this down to the dungeons for me. It's in regards of another student and well,… you know I don't trust Mellie even though she is prefect for Slytherin. She talks so much , but I personally think it's that crowd she's with and"

His squeaky little voice kept going on and on talking in circles as he usually did.

"And I need you to take this to Professor Dawn's office in the dungeon."

"Sure thing professor."

I took the envelope and quickly let myself out.

Professor Dawn was pretty descent for a Slytherin. She taught A History of magic now that Binns went into the next life.

I walked down the stairs to the dungeon.

The Slytherin students were milling around much like the other houses do on downtime. I took a right into the hall way that led to the dorms and Dawn's office. I was half way down the hall when I heard foot steps.

The hall was dimly lit. I located my wand.

"Oh please no ones going to hurt you." A voice said.

I tucked my wand back into my clothes .

"And who are you?" I me appeared a girl my age. As she came closer she looked more recognizable. She had rich brown hair and the greenest eyes I had ever seen, other than that of uncle Harry. She came closer and grinned at me.

"Cleste Rosier, sixth year,Slytherin obviously, and you are?" She played with my hair gently . I had been standing there for twenty seconds before I remembered my name.

"Dominique Weasley,…rem… sixth year as well,…..Ravenclaw!" I covered my mouth. I sounded like a blithering idiot.

"Well Dominique, nice to meet you, I see you are on your way somewhere , but If you get time we should see each other. I'm always in the astronomy tower,I like the stars." she smiled.

"Yeah sure!" I said nodding. I stepped around her and went to Dawn before I made even more of a fool out of my self.

"Oh Dominique!" She called.

"Yeah?"

"I stay up late"
