Summary: She was somewhat ordinary, seemingly innocent. She wasn't special and seemed to come off as insane. She was hardly influential or popular. He couldn't understand what was so great about her. So why did his Slytherin rival tend to keep her around? Watch as Charles de Martin tries to uncover the mystery that is Elaviel Feanor.

Rated T: for occasional swearing in later chapters and dark themes in later chapters

Enjoy!

If there was one person at Hogwarts that rubbed Charles de Martin the wrong way, it was Ethan Cordoba. He could not stand the slimy git. He was cruel, arrogant, and a bit of a narcissist. He looked down upon others as if they were worth less than the dirt beneath his shoes. He was your stereotypical Slytherin. And Charles hated him.

Charles viewed him as a rival, though he was sure that Ethan saw him no better than scum. However, there were times where Ethan also confused him. One of those times had just happened. He was surprised he had noticed it, seeing as that when it came to Slytherins he only noticed Ethan. In fact, he had almost missed it.

Whenever he had seen Ethan, he had noticed one thing: Ethan had no friends. That is not say that no one liked him. All the Slytherins practically adored him but none of them were equals or respected, merely followers. And yet, he may have been proven wrong just now about that.

He had met up with a friend of his from another house to go and explore the Forbidden Forest. Given, it was against the rules. However, two of the heads had caught them:Professor Woods, the Hufflepuff head, and Professor Noir, the Ravenclaw head. They had shown them around a bit. A few strays had come along, Ethan being one of them. That had angered him. Ethan had ruined it slightly for him by appearing. However, he had noticed, just barely, something odd.

There had been a girl, a Slytherin, also. She had obviously been in Ethan's year and had seemed to know him. Ethan had addressed her, whether her name or a nickname he didn't know, Ela. She had been rather unnoticeable at first. She had had bright blue eyes that showed nothing, long dark hair, and had been quite tall for a girl her age. She had seemed to blend into the crowd at first. But, he had found something unusual about her.

On the outside, this 'Ela' had been...odd, to say the least. She seemed to always be smiling and yet did odd things other Slytherins didn't do. What had confused him more so was the way she had interacted with Ethan.

She hadn't showered him with praise or turn adoring eyes on him. She had merely smiled, said hello, and walked next to him. Ethan had said hello too, and yet it was different from usual. He had been polite and acknowledged her with a nod of the head before greeting her. Why had he acknowledged her? She hadn't seemed special nor had she seemed like a follower either.

Charles scowled, determined to figure out what was so special about her.

So, how was it? Please Review!
