Sitting around a table three wizards and one witch were facing each other in a battle of wills.
"Got any two's?" Asked Marcus Flint.
"Go fish." Replied Oliver Wood. Turning to Roger Davies he asked "Got any Tens?"
While glaring at Oliver the Ravenclaw captain gave him the three tens he had.
"I don't understand why you three did not wanted to play poker." Said Rachel Smith the captain of the Hufflepuff quidditch team.
"Because the last time a certain person made us lose all our clothes." Retorted the Slytherin quidditch captain while the other two boys glared at the only girl of their group.
"Of course I do it was such a nice view." Replied Rachel in a dreamy voice.
"Got any threes?" she asked Oliver wood who gave her one.
"How are the first years settling in? Ours are quite the loud bunch." Asked Roger hoping to get Rachel's mind back to the present.
"Well the surprise was Potter of course." Said Flint. "But the greatest surprise you haven't heard yet. He shares a room with Zabini."
Three pair of eyes grew when they realised what they just had heard.
"O my. You aren't serious are you." Roger whispered.
"Why he is not in my house I don't understand rooming with a known blood drinker takes guts." Said Oliver.
"She found him quite the piece." Replied Flint.
"So is he her singer or something." Asked Rachel.
When the three boys looked at her confusion she groaned. "Great bodies with two small minds how typical for you men. Singer is a term for a person whose blood is quite alluring to a vampire."
"Where did you hear that?" asked Roger.
"Read it somewhere. Some book called "twit light" or something." She said.
Marcus Flint chuckled "must be muggle then. Zabini has vampires in her ancestry. The correct term would be dhampir. Both her grandmothers were vampires. I heard that her mother drinks blood occasional. It seems to be a sort of aphrodisiac to her." He said.
"No wonder she is on husband five already, a black widow like you never have seen before." Said Roger. "Got any aces Ollie?"
The cursing was answer enough when he received three of them.
"We seem to have a misplaced raven according to Katie." Said Olliver."She and Percy's youngest brother are at each throat all the time.
"Nothing worth of notice happening in the badgers den." Said Rachel. "What did Snape do when he found out that a boy and girl were bunking together before seventh year?"
"He smiled a honest to God smile. It scared everyone." Said Marcus Flint and the four of them shuddered at the thought of a smiling potion master.
"What is the pool Marcus?." Asked Olliver." Got any fives by the way?"
"How long it would take for Snape to start to deduct points again?" Asked Marcus Olliver nodded. " I told them it would not last a day. Go fish Ollie."
"That you did not call madam Pomfrey surprises me." Said Rogier.
"Young Draco Malfoy asked us not to. It seems that Snape is far more tolerable when he is in a good mood." Answered Flint
"Amen to that. I will ask Percy to let loose the twins tomorrow." Said Olliver.
"Thanks." Replied Flint.
"What do you boys think about the third floor corridor." Asked Rachel.
" It's a trouble magnet. I am happy that Percy has gotten the prefect badge. Because I think it will lead to way to much investigations of curious students this year" Answered Oliver the other two boys nodded in agreement.
"Wat I don't understands is why the headmaster did not close off that corridor if it is so dangerous." Said Rogier.
"Maybe he wants to distract the students with something." Guessed Rachel. Got any kings Rogier?"
The boy gave her one.
And so the four captains played further while discussing the happenings from around the school.
