Chapter Three: Odd Behavior

Pansy and Daphne walked into the Entrance Hall laughing but stopped when they saw Kassandra and Kierston huddled in the middle of the empty hall talking. "Hey Kierston!" Daphne called

Kierston looked up then bowed her head again. She nodded to something Kassandra said and started walking off towards the Great Hall. Kassandra glanced at Pansy and Daphne who were still standing there and also walked into the Great Hall.

Kierston

The Great Hall – Slytherin Table

8:00 a.m.

Kierston was sitting at the Slytherin table pushing eggs around on her plate with a fork when Pansy, Daphne, Draco, and Blaise walked in. The girls glanced at her before walking farther down the table and as Draco and Blaise were starting to sit down in front of Kierston, Pansy gave a sharp cough and so they stood and walked down the table glancing over their shoulders at Kierston.

Kierston didn't look as if she even noticed them and continued to push her eggs around. She was wearing Hogwarts robes and had the fronts of her hair pulled back into a ponytail at the back of her head. Her eyes were outlined in dark black and looked less bright then the night before and she looked extremely pale.

She stood up, dropping her fork, and walked over to the Gryffindor table.

Kassandra

The Great Hall – Gryffindor Table

8:05 a.m.

Kassandra sat down at the table across from Hermione and Ginny and grabbed a piece of toast. "So Kassandra are you excited for the dance?" Ginny asked

"Dancing isn't really my thing." She replied dully

"You're still going though, right?" Hermione asked

"It depends." She said

Hermione's eyes lit up as she got an idea, "Gin, you can ask Kassandra's sister- the one in Slytherin- if he likes you!" She smiled

Kassandra looked up adjusting one of the chopsticks stuck in her messy black-haired bun, "If who likes you?" She asked Ginny

Ginny blushed and looked down, "Blaise Zabini." She answered, "I know I know he's a Slytherin but I don't think it'd be that big of a deal. I mean its only one dance."

Kassandra smirked, "You can save your breath. I don't think Zabini likes you."

Ginny looked at Kassandra and her eyes grew wide, "You think Blaise likes you don't you?"

"I never said anything." Kassandra said still smirking.

Ginny retained her composure quickly, "Oh well now I need to find a new crush." Ginny said looking around.

"Are you Gryffindors always this peppy?" Kassandra asked and Ginny grinned still scanning the Hall.

Just as Kassandra started on her toast Kierston sat down next to her. "What's up?" Kassandra asked

"I think I'm going back to my dorm. Are you going to be okay for your first day of classes?" She asked

Kassandra laughed, "Don't worry I still have Katie. We don't you need you to be worrying about us all the time but you go ahead and go lay down."

Kierston smiled and stood up. As she was walking out Kaitlyn was walking in. They stopped and Kierston whispered something to her sister. Kaitlyn nodded and hugged her before continuing to the Ravenclaw table.

Draco

The Great Hall- Slytherin Table

8:05 a.m.

"What do you think is up with Kierston. She was acting pretty cool yesterday then today she acted like she didn't even know us. Do you think she thinks she's too cool for us?" Pansy fumed watching Kierston as she sat down at the Gryffindor table with Weasley and Granger.

Daphne scoffed, "Don't worry about it Pansy. She obviously has something wrong with her, it's not like we actually need her as a friend."

Draco's silvery eyes followed the new girl as she stood to walk out of the Great Hall. About five minutes later he saw Kassandra stand up and start walking out. "I just realized I forgot a book in the common room. I'll see you guys later." His friends nodded as he stood up to leave.

He rushed in the Great Hall and looked around for Kassandra but couldn't find her anywhere. Sighing he turned down towards the dungeons to go to the common room.

When he reached the entrance he saw an annoyed Kassandra trying to find a way in. "Need help?" He smirked.

Kassandra turned and glared at him. "What are you doing at Slytherin anyways?" He asked.

"I wanted to come check on Kierston." She answered shortly. "Can you let me in?"

"Why would you need to check on her?" Draco asked.

"I can't tell you." Kassandra glared.

"Then I guess you're not getting into Slytherin." Draco smirked the Malfoy smirk again.

Kassandra huffed, "She gets depressed sometimes. I need to go talk to her."

"What does she get depressed about?" Draco asked.

Kassandra's glare, if possible, got harder, "No. I'm not telling you."

"Want to see your sister?" Draco asked glaring back.

"She thinks she killed our parents."
