"Hello." She came up to me and smiled. I stared at her for a few minutes, as stupid as I am. "H- h- hello." I stammered. I don't know why. It just happened.

"Are you okay?" she asked. Her face wrinkled with concern. "I'm fine." She perked up.

"What's your name?"

"Fred." I said.

"Nice name. Mine's Mazuko." She then went over to the Slytherin table and sat down next to Draco Malfoy.

'Why is she sitting at the Slytherin table? Wasn't she just talking to me? A Gryffindor. How strange.' I shook myself a little to forget about it and went on talking with George, Ron, and Harry.

*** "So what was that all about?" asked Draco.

"I just want to meet knew people. This is the first school that my father can't check on me every day." Mazuko explained. She poked at the food in front of her didn't even touch her goblet.

"Are you okay?" Draco asked. He felt concerned for this girl. She seemed to have it difficult. Moving to almost every magical school and then ended up here.

"I'm fine." Her voice was barely audible.

She pushed her chair out and got up. She then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Draco stared at the spot that had once occupied a Slytherin 5th year girl. He sighed and walked off to his dormitory as well.

*** "Why do you think a Slytherin would even talk to a Gryffindor? I mean I thought that we were sworn enemies and all."

Fred was explaining what had happened with Mazuko.

"They just make nasty comments. Not to say hello," was George's response.

"Not all Slytherins are bad. I guess.." Ron said.

"I guess Ron's right. I mean just because she's in Slytherin doesn't mean anything. She could just as well be in Huffelpuff and talk to you." Said Harry. He looked over at the Slytherin table.

He tapped Ron on the shoulder; "She's gone." Ron looked at the girl's table and his eyes went wide. He nodded and turned back to Harry. "You're right. She's not there. I wonder why she left early." He shrugged and went back to his food.

Harry kept starring. Thinking actually. 'I wonder who she is. I know her name is Mazuko, but I mean more than her name. Fred's right, it is strange for a Slythiern to talk to someone in a completely different house then just.disappear.' Harry let the subject drop and went up to his dorm. He forgot all about the girl and fell asleep on the common room couch. Too much chess can wear you out.

*** Mazuko giggled. 'It's funny to see someone be put to sleep with a game of wizard chess.'

"What, may I ask, is so funny?" The voice was dripping with grease, almost as much as the owner's hairs was.

Mazuko rolled her eyes. "What do you want?" 'Great, now my teacher has to check on me. I bet this has to be one of daddy's ideas.' She turned to face the potion's master. "Nothing. So just leave me alone, okay."

"Sorry. I didn't mean to bother you. Your fath-"

"I DON'T want to hear about my father. Got that?" She was holding the professor by the throat, not too gently either.

"I. Okay. Just. put. me down." He was just grabbing the last bit of air he could to talk.

Mazuko smirked. "Okay." She dropped the stunned grown man on the floor and left him to cough and catch his breath.

"Like I said. DON'T talk about my father to me." She didn't even turn around. After that she stalked off. Not a step was heard.

Creepy, ne? I don't think this will go very far, very fast. Just bear with me. I have all these other stories to work on. This one I will work on when I feel like it. I put it up here for fun and to see what other people think of it. If you like it, review, if not don't. As you can tell Mazuko doesn't like her father. Hmm.. Well I guess she wouldn't.

I'll stop talking now. REVIEW!
