A/N: I own new characters and ideas but make no money from writing. Characters can be found linked in my profile, if one doesn't work please let me know and I'll try to fix it. Outfits are on Polyvore, if the outfit has writing it is in the font they would write in.

I left the library and headed to my dorm, I was reluctant to meet anyone else today but I knew it wasn't avoidable. I spent the rest of the evening reading the books I had checked out, I had already mesmerized the route to all my classes and I'm pretty sure I studied enough to pass all my classes. I was just waiting for my roommate to come back. By dinner time she hadn't come back to the dorm which I found quite odd but she could be busy with other things. I shrugged and made my way down to the great hall, McGonagall assured me that dinner would be even more amazing when students arrived. I'm glad she was the headmistress, she was so kind but also very old.

I sat at the Slytherin table, I didn't like sitting on benches but I guess they allowed more people to be seated even if it was uncomfortable. I felt a pair of eyes on me, I looked up to see the guy I had met early, Adrion, sitting on the other end of the table. He looked up from, what I guessed, what was his schedule and undoubtedly saw me, he smirked and gathered his things before plopping down across from me. "Hello Zelena, I had a hard time deciding which house you were in. I thought either Ravenclaw or Slytherin, I'm glad it was Slytherin it means I get to see you more often."

I shook my head, "Well, I still hope you're wrong about seeing me often. But I guess I'll have to make do. I barely understand this house system, we had one in Salem but they were different names and colors for each house." after I spoke a few more people entered the great hall, I saw the white haired boy and a red headed girl sit at the Ravenclaw table while their friend with bouncy bleached curls sit at the Hufflepuff table.

"Well, it's quite simple. Each house has people who exhibit a set of characteristics which fit into one house better than the others. A Slytherin must exhibit traditionalism, resourcefulness, cunningness, ambition, leadership qualities, self-preservation, determination, cleverness, and fraternity, among other things of course that float around our head. The rest might be explained in a certain book that can be found in the library. He took a slip of paper from his bag and scribbled down the name of the book.

"Thank you, I'll look for it after dinner"

He smiled, seemingly pleased that I was no longer glaring at him, "Ready for classes to start?" I shrugged and continued picking through my food. He watched me for a few minutes before he began to eat the meal that had appeared in front of him.

As I finished I gathered my things and arranged them in my bag, Adrion said goodbye while I simply gave him a nod. I walked out of the great hall and through the empty halls until I found the library. It took my only a few minutes to find the book, it was about the founders and what things have happened to Hogwarts. I'm guessing this book has an enchantment which makes it update itself when new things happen.

I sat at one of the tables and began reading.

I groaned as I came to, someone's oddly cold hands were shaking me awake. "I'm up, I'm up I swear mom" I slurred, I stretched and looked up to see Adrion smirking.

"I thought I would find you here, I told my sister about you and she wanted to meet you. I brought her to the Slytherin common room and lead her to the dorms, she said you weren't there."

I yawned and stood. "I guess I fell asleep while reading. What time is it?"

"It's almost midnight, I snuck her in past curfew so no one would see. She's back in her dorm now but a Gryffindor prefect is now awake for his rounds. He's down by the Slytherin painting then will be heading up to the library. Prefects are almost always here two days early. They're horrible, really." He pulled motioned for me to stand up "Come with me, we can probably get past him" he pulled out his wand, muttered 'lumos' and a bright light glowed from the tip of his wand.

I slipped a bookmark between the pages, slipped it into my bag then followed him out of the library. We made our way through the halls and down staircases without running into the prefect. "Why the hell are these hallways so cold" my teeth were chattering and I was shaking.

"I actually don't know, here you can wear my jacket" he tried to hand me it but I just glared at him, he sighed and put it on so it would cover me. "Anyway, we have to even more careful now, the painting for our common room is just around the corner."

We stayed close to the wall as we turned the corner, Adrion came face to face with the prefect. He was medium height with curly blonde hair and dark brown eyes. He glared at Adrion but hadn't noticed me, most likely because I'm much shorter than either of them.

"I knew something was up, you Slytherins always getting into trouble." He smirked and tried to grab Adrions wrist but he pulled away.

"We aren't always getting into trouble, trouble is just quite attracted to us. But, I mean, can you blame it?" he flashed a smirk. The prefect just rolled his eyes and tried to grab him again, this time his hand brushed past mine.

"Oh, who do we have here?" he smirked again as he pushed past Adrion. "The transfer from Salem, how wonderful. McGonagall would just love to hear how you're already breaking rules and sneaking around with a boy, I'm sure she'll send you right back to Salem."

"I highly doubt that, I am the new Slytherin prefect and I found Adrion in the library. I alerted him that curfew has long since passed and told him I would escort him back to the common room with a simple warning and a suggestion to keep a watch on him. You obviously haven't been attending the meetings we had over summer break. You are out way before your rounds began. But I will dismiss it this one time, I'm feeling quite generous tonight. But I will be alerting the prefect order." His face paled and confusion clouded his face. "Now if you'll excuse me I'll be going, I need to ensure Adrion is in his dorm. And since you are so eager you can start your rounds early."

I pushed past him and made my way to the portrait with Adrion following closely. Once inside Adrion started laughing, "You're undoubtedly a Slytherin. Now, go get some pjs on then come down, I'll have some hot cocoa waiting for you."

I gave him a look, "Why?"

"Maybe because I'd like to get to know you better, you're obviously a very interesting person. Plus I love hot cocoa and would love to share some with you" I gave him another look but decided I had nothing better to do with my time.

I gave in and headed up to my room, set my bag beside my bed and got undressed then redressed in pjs and slippers, wiped my face clean of make-up, slipped off all my jewelry except my necklaces, and threw my hair up into a messy bun. I fed my cat Belladonna then headed downstairs into the common room. He was just coming down, dressed in plaid pj bottoms and a black shirt.

We sat in the Slytherin common room, I sat on one end of a sofa and he was on the other end. We turned to face each other as we drank hot cocoa and talked.

"So…what do you want to know about me?" I finally asked once there was a break in conversation.

"I want to know why you transferred, why you are already sorted, and why it seems like you've been here longer than the normal two days early. But I doubt you'll open up about that yet so tell me little things, like your favorite color."

"Well my favorite color is black, it goes with everything and can mean everything. I love animals, I have a cat who is napping on my bed at the moment. Um…" I paused not knowing what else to say.

He smiled, "I have a cat too, his names Opal."

"My cats name is Belladonna."

"Does that mean you're into roman mythology?"

"I like both Roman and Greek mythology. It is so incredibly fascinating, do you like it?" he smiled and nodded, the conversation went on for another hour, and it only stopped because he could barely keep his eyes open.

"I'll see you tomorrow, remember to get your uniform on by 7, first years arrive at about 7:30 while students in year 2-8 arrive at 4. Hopefully I'll see you at breakfast."

"Hopefully not" he smirked at my response before jogging up the stairs into his dorm room.
