Review please.
Serenity's Pov
"Are you sure you're alright?" James asked me once again as he pressed a cold compress against the back of my neck; I just nodded as the shaking in my hands slowly died away.
"Yeah, I'll be okay." I muttered and took another drink of water that James had told me to drink. James sighed and searched my eyes.
"I still think you should tell your dad about these Serenity. Maybe he knows what's going on." I just shook my head and closed my eyes.
"No James. He can't know—I'm fine okay?" James sighed but nodded and took the compress away once more.
"We should get into our robes Serenity." I nodded as James helped me up into sitting position and I slowly stood up and retrieved my Slytherin robe from the trunk. I barely heard the screen door open as Albus ran in, his glasses thrown askew with a look of desperation in his eyes.
"I can't get my tie on!" He exclaimed with a groaned. I laughed, the evidence of my episode gone as I stepped forward and started to tie the Slytherin colors around his neck. As soon as my fingers touched him, Albus's face filled with red. I chuckled to myself and straightened the tie.
"There you go." I said with a smile. Albus blushed more and ran a hand through his brown hair.
"So you're a perfect this year Serenity?" The natural smile drained from my face as I turned around and started gathering my stuff. "Yeah….yeah I am…." I muttered before sliding the robe over my head.
James tisked his tongue. "I'm your own brother and you don't even comment on how I am a perfect this year!" He shook his head "I am offended."
Albus rolled his eyes and crossed his skinny arms, his bright green eyes shining behind his glasses. "You haven't shut up about you being a perfect at home James, Mum was just about to shoot you herself!"
I laughed. Mr. and Mrs. Potter were always kind enough to let me stay with them for the first couple weeks of summer when my father was busy getting things closed up at school. In truth I think Mrs. Potter wanted to take me under her wing—that she attempted to give me some motherly love where as I had none. My mother had died in childbirth. I opened my mouth to speak but the whistle started blowing, signaling that we were finally at Hogwarts—that we were finally home. I scooped up my trunk and Aurora before kissing both boys on the cheek.
"I've got to go, Dad wanted me to meet up with him!" I hastily waved before running out the screen door with my trunk being dragged behind me.

"Follow me please." I said loud and clear as I started to gather the Slytherin first years around me, a huge smile on my face and my blonde locks spread around my shoulders. The over exuberant students pushed each other and bumped shoulders as they made their way to me. My heart pounded in my chest with nervousness of the knowledge of today's events; with a deep breath I plastered a smile on my face.
"Well lookie who we have here." A loud, deep voice called to me from behind. I recognized it instantly and flinched inwardly as the smile drained from my face. I swallowed heavily before putting on a fake smile and turning to my nightmare.
"Scorpius." I simply stated with a polite nod to my fellow Prefect. Scorpius was tall and well-built with very blonde locks that slightly fell into his eyes in a swoosh. His eyes were what always got to me, a piercing icy blue that seemed to suck the warmth from you. Scorpius smirked and wrapped one of his long pale fingers around one of my blonde locks and wrapped the hair around his skin.
"So I suppose we are here again yes?" He smirked and looked around at all the first years. "I suppose these are the first years correct?" I just rolled my eyes with a huff.
"Congratulations captain obvious." I muttered. Scorpius laughed.
"My father says that he does miss his weekly luncheons with you Serenity—he says to stop by." With a dip of his head Scorpius cleared his throat.
"Gather around munchkins—we must be going." Without waiting for a response of the first years, Scorpius turned and started walking towards the common rooms.
"Stupid toehead." I growled under my breath before following at the flank of them.
The Hogwarts halls were always dimly lit, their modernness down on the low with no real electricity. The walls were made of dark stone and moving pictures covered the wall. Students in black robes walked through the halls, the first years followed behind them and looked around behind in amazement.
I smiled softly as we walked up to the Slytherin portrait hung on the wall and as soon as we stepped in front of him, the man in the picture came to life and regarded us with a crude expression.
"Password please." He simply stated, I was quick to step forward before Scorpius could and cleared my voice.
"Nightingale" I said simply and clearly. The man nodded and slid his sword into his belt. With a bow the portrait swung open to reveal the Slytherin common room. I turned back and looked at the first years. "Always remember the password! If you happen to forget it than come to Scorpius or I understood? Tell no one." I nodded and walked into the common room. All of our trunks sat there in wait for our arrival. With a small nod I took hold of my trunk and cat before turning back to the group with a small evil smirk at Scorpius.
"I'm sure Scorpius can run you through the rules while I take a nice long bath. Isn't that right Scorpius." I smiled as Scorpius' eyes narrowed at me. I nodded. "Well than—enjoy your evening!." I waved before walking up the girl's stair case and to the room. I chose the bed I had slept in every year, a king sized bed with a dark emerald comforter embedded with silver outlines. Black curtains hung around the bed's frame to give me privacy and at the end of the bed sat a pure black trunk where I was to put all my belongings. I smiled and sat Aurora on the bed before taking my robes off and gently folding them before setting them into the trunk. After placing all my clothing and extra belongings into the trunk I slid my own travel trunk under my bed and changed into my blue Snoopy PJ shorts and white tank top. With a nod of satisfaction I shut the trunk and headed to the bathing room, a room filled with large marble tubs—the size of pools—and marble showers. Faucets hung from the ceiling and I instantly started to fill the tub before looking into the mirror and stripping down.
I am a short girl with pale skin that covers my curved, thin, body. My hair was a mess of long golden curls and my eyes were a bright blue that seemed to be fake; an aqua really. Around my neck hung a small silver necklace that held a single silver leaf—a present from my father for my thirteenth birthday. I smiled before setting my clothing on the sink and sliding into the bath's steaming water.
When I was growing up my father always tried to make me feel normal, feel like I could have anything I wanted. He provided everything I could possibly want to some extent. When I was born my mother, Luna, died during childbirth. My father had been shook by the loss of my mother and always tried to give me a normal life. In the end he knew I secretly wished I had a mother, what girl doesn't? But my father had done his best and I was content with that. I always had been.
Once my long soothing bath was done I braided my hair into one large braid and made my way back to the Slytherin common room. I jumped in fright when a hand suddenly enclosed on my arm and Jame's bright eyes stared out at me from a slit of his cloak of invisibility. I chuckled as he closed it over me.
"Again?" I whispered to him, James just nodded with a smirk as he grabbed my hand and started racing through the halls to prepare, and involve me in, his next prank.
Yes I know J.K Rowling said that Neville married Hannah Abbott but I have plans for that later—Review please and tell me what you think! Love you all!
