I sat there, not hungry anymore. Ilosovic gave me a 'look.' "You alright?"

I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye. "Sure," I said, looking down at my plate. I didn't want to look at him, or anybody for that matter.

"Isn't that you're friend, the half-vampire one?" He asked, pointing at Crystal. I nodded. She had gotten Gryffindor, and was sitting with Tarrant and Alice. She waved, and I gave her a weak smile. Draco poked my shoulder.

"What are you so peeved about?" As soon as he had said the word 'peeved,' Peeves showed up and blew a raspberry in his ear. Draco jumped, and sneered at the poltergiest.

"You called?" Peeves said in a falsely happy voice.

"No, I was asking Samantha something," Draco said, with a fake smile. Peeves turned to me with a cheesey grin, and got a mischivious glint in his eye.

"Well, welcome to Hogwarts. I hope you don't mind getting wet." I gave him a questioning look, and he pointed up. I saw water balloons hovering in the air above my head, and within seconds they were falling on me, soaking me completely. Peeves laughed and zoomed out of the Great Hall. I looked over at Ilosovic, my hatered for the poltergiest showing on my face.

"You can't do anything," Draco said, putting a hand on my shoulder to hold me in my seat. I glanced over at the Gryffindor table. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. I ground my teeth in frustration.

"Samantha, calm down," Ilosovic hissed in my ear.

"Be quiet," I hissed back. He did as requested. I returned to staring at my plate. I blinked, and Cheshire appeared on it. I jumped a little in my seat.

"You do really need to calm down," he said. I glared at him, and finally nodded.

"What are you doing?" I whispered to him.

"Just came to check on my favourite girl." I rolled my eyes. "I see you were placed in Slytherin, while your beloved Tarrant and his Alice are in Gryffindor." He smiled. I fought the urge to strangle him.

"Are you here to make me feel better or worse?"

"Be nice, I may be able to help with your dilemma," he said, while floating up to head height. Draco looked at him over my shoulder.

"What is that?"

"He would be my cat, Cheshire," I said, smiling. Draco gave an almost-smile.

"You're pretty when you smile." I beamed even wider. Cheshire dug his claws into my hand. My attention immediately switched back to him.

"As I was saying..."

Finally, dinner was over and we all were sent to our Common Rooms. I followed the rest of Slytherin, with Draco and Ilosovic next to me. The fifth year Prefect in front stopped and turned to everyone. "This is the enterance to our Common Room. The password is 'Pureblood.' The portrait opened, addmiting all of us. Draco sat down on a couch near the fire. He looked up at me and Ilosovic.

"So, you're friends with Gryffindors?" I nodded. He gave me an unidentafiable look. "You may want to go pick out a good bed before the other girls get up there." I smiled at him.

"Good night, Draco, Ilosovic.
