Aelia ran to catch up with Adreasteia and their fellow sixth year Zaria. They were almost late for Transfiguration, and McGonagall was so intolerant, and handed out detentions like the elves in the kitchen handed out food. "We are going to be late. Let's move."

"Alright Aelia. We're going." Zaria said, shaking her head. Zaria was pretty damn close to perfect. She was petite, carried herself like a Veela, pale, with hair so black it looked blue, and sapphire eyes. Wherever Zaria went, eyes followed. It was quite annoying, but she was impossible not to love. She said whatever was on her mind. Usually, it was quite humorous. Rather rude it was true, but still. And Zaria loved male-watching. She didn't care if he was a fellow Slytherin, Ravenclaw, a Hufflepuff, or even a Gryffindor. She just liked to look at guys. Apparently, her new eye-candy was Lee Jordan. She clucked her tongue quietly as he walked past.

Adreasteia rolled her eyes, "Zaria, shut up."

"I can't help it if the boy is very attractive." She said impishly.

"My dear, your frivolous attitude is going to land you in the arms of some common Gryffindor. Or worse, a damn Hufflepuff!" Aelia said primly.

Zaria giggled and threw her arms around Aelia and Adreasteia as they entered McGonagall's classroom with the Ravenclaws.


It was lunch time and the girls were sitting at their table, discussing classes, how it felt being back at Hogwarts, boys, and of course the Triwizard Tournament.

"So…do you know the other schools that are going to participate?" Zaria asked, making sure to toss her hair prettily as Jordan walked by.

Aelia rolled her eyes as Adreasteia said, "Not one hundred percent, but Father heard a rumor of Durmstrang."

"And probably Beauxbatons." Aelia said matter-of-factly.

"Who do you think the champion from Hogwarts will be?"

"Hm...Who knows?" Zaria said, not caring. Her eyes were seeking out Jordan again.

"Draco would probably say Potter." Adreasteia mused, taking a sip of her pumpkin juice.

"Of course he would. He's obsessed with the kid. It's like he's got some crush on him."

Zaria coughed into her bacon. "Sorry. Sorry. It was funny."

"But it's so true." Aelia said throwing up her hands.

"I know it is." Zaria giggled.

"Speaking of obsessed, you haven't been able to keep your eyes off of a certain Lee Jordan since we've been back." Adreasteia said wryly.

Zaria sighed, "I know. But he's gotten so good looking. I can't help it. I'm sorry." She pretended to pout, covering her eyes with her hands.

Adreasteia patted her shoulder in mock sympathy. "It's okay, sweetie."

Aelia glanced at the clock, "Guys, it's time to go to Potions."

"Who do we have it with this year?" Zaria asked

"I think the Gryffindors."

"Yay. Lee Jordan." Zaria said, adding a little skip to her step.

"Ew." The twins said in unison.


They swept into the dungeon and took their regular seats in the front on the Slytherin side. But Zaria grabbed their wrists and hissed, "Can we please sit toward the back? Lee Jordan sits there."

"Zaria…" Adreasteia hissed.

"Please?!" she begged, clasping her hands in front of her.

Sighing, the twins gave each other long-suffering looks and sighed in unison, "Fine."

Zaria grinned, "I love you guys!"

"Yeah. We know." They said, and hauled their stuff to the back. They huffed and flopped down on the stools, Zaria on the outside (Lee was on the outside on the Gryffindor side.)

"Can you be any more obvious, Zaria?!" Aelia hissed.

"Not by much. And obvious is exactly what I'm aiming for." Zaria grinned, winking at them.

"You're such trash." Adreasteia growled.

Zaria blew a kiss at her. Snape strode into the room, flicked his wand at the board. Instructions appeared and they set to work.


A/N: Nothing much, really. But it'll get better (and longer) as I go on.
