CHAPTER 3

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY HARRY POTTER CHARACTERS.

Despite last nights excitement, the first day of classes was so boring I almost fell asleep. Not to mention that my new potions teacher Professor Snape decided to surprise the class with a 20 page essay about one of the four founders, Slytherin, which counts for 40 of our final grade. I mean, yeah, I know this helps me learn a bit more about my house, but honestly how cocky can one get? I guess I'm going to learn all about that from my fellow Slytherins.

It was finally dinner time as I sat down. It seemed I was the first one there, and I didn't mind because I really wasn't in the mood for conversation. That was until Montague came and sat besides me.

"Hey Sam." Montague made himself comfortable and reached past me for the mash potatoes.

"Er… uh…hi Adrian." I replied and quickly stuffed some biscuits into my mouth.

"How was your day?" Adrian asked, giving me his full attention.

"Can you say boring?" I replied, and Adrian burst into laughter. Everyone's eyes immediately fell on me. 'Damn', I thought, and kept my gaze down.

"Sorry Sam." He whispered and continued eating in silence.

"It's ok Ad, I can handle it." I replied with a smile, causing Adrian to chuckle.

"Oh I know you can, you're a Slytherin."

After dinner, I snuck down into the Gryffindor Common Room. It was completely chaotic. When I got there, Katie and Alicia were chasing Fred and George, who were joking with Oliver. Ron and Harry were wrestling on the floor over the last piece of lemon drops. However, despite all this noise, Hermione and Angelina were sitting in the corner and doing the impossible. They were studying.

I walked over to their corner, replying to everyone's greetings, and took a seat besides Angel.

"Hey."

"Hey boo." Angel replied, closing her book.

"Mmm." Hermione murmured, completely entraced by the text book.

Angel signaled me to follow her upstairs to the girl's dormitory.

"So, how's everything, Sam?" She asked sitting by the window, legs crossed, facing me.

"It's ok so far." I replied, removing my robe. "I mean, I thought it would be horrible, but it's pretty ok."

"Made any… uh… friends?" Angel choked out, causing me to laugh.

"Uh yeah. Your future husband and I are cool. I must say I completely approve Angel. Now that's what I call sexy." I teased, watching Angel blush.

"He's not. You know that." She murmured, shifting uncomfortably.

"You know what, come with me. I want to show you something I found sexy last night. It should be going on right now." I decided dragging Angelina up with me, and putting my robes back on.

"Bye guys! Angel will be right back." I announced to the common room as I dragged Angelina out.

"Where are you taking me Sam?" Angelina asked once we arrived near the dungeons.

"You'll see when we get there. I promise you won't regret it." I replied, taking her past the dungeons, into a small alley way and onto the quidditch field.

"Sam…" Angel whispered warningly, realizing why I took her here. The entire male population of the ages 16 and 17 from Slytherin were practicing quidditch. But the main reason I brought her here, was for her future husband. Being the caring cousin that I am, I took it upon myself to ensure that our future couple would spend as much time as possible with one another. And right I was. For as soon as Angelina got onto the field Adrian flew down besides us.

"Hey beautiful." Adrian greeted Angelina, winking at me.

"Sam." Angelina said, completely ignoring him. "Why did you bring me here?"

"Because I didn't want to come out here alone. I don't have any friends yet. You're all I have and…and… I'm already lonely…" I began, slightly tearing up. Knowing this was the only Angel would swallow her pride and stay.

"Oh baby. I know. I'm sorry. It's ok. Ok babes?" Angelina murmured softly pulling me into a hug. Ad smiled at me from behind her back. 'Great', I thought, 'This was definitely working out. "I'll be here for you anytime you need me, ok babes?"

"Um hum." I murmured back, sniffling and pulled away. "I'm ok now. Thanks Angel."

"It's ok babes." She replied rubbing her hand up and down my arm for comfort.

"Sit with me on the stands?" I pleaded with my soulful eyes. Angelina nodded and to our surprise. Well I really should say my surprise and Angelina's shock. Adrian pulled Angelina into his arms and flew her to the stand. Angelina was in such total shock that she only stared at him and only reacted when he tried to kiss her. He only smirked and rejoined the guys. 'Uh oh. I'm in for it.' I thought, and proceeding up the stand stairs slowly, knowing Angelina was fuming. I'm going to kill Adrian. He should know to only do it when I don't bring Angel here. Only when he "accidently" bumps into her while I disappear. But being as brave as I am and of course intelligent, I took a seat next to Angel and sat there in quiet. Together we sat there in quiet for about thirty minutes. Angelina suddenly accio-ed our brooms to the stands as the boys began to pack up.

I knew exactly what she had in mind as she smirked at me and flew ahead. This was going to be good, I knew, and flew off the stands towards the Slytherin Captain, Marcus Flint.

"Excuse me." I began.

"Yeah?" he replied looking down at me. Considering he was six feet three inches, with dark hair and light eyes. Mm.

"May I borrow the snitch? I promise to return it to you as soon as I'm done with it." I asked staring back at him.

"Fine." He replied with a smirk and walked away. "Watch her Zabini." Was the last thing I heard him say before he disappeared behind the mural. But I didn't care. This was going to be the most fun in years. The last time Angel and I flew together, we were both 10. And we definitely made the most of it today. Until…
