At lunch you could hear four students, all but one in the house of Gryffindor. You would hear them laugh and joke. They had each other and no other. Pure to the core they didn't care about blood. Blood was the thing that tore people apart. They had other friends but they weren't so close. They met on a train to the school that changed their lives. Who would have thought I would have Friends in Gryffindor to joke around with, to let all my worries go. I was the Gryffindor of Slytherin. Life wasn't going to get better than this for me.

"Ear Muffs!" Tanya started grinning like an idiot.

"Voldy's toe" I said happily at her insularity.

"Ravenclaw Nerds" The twins added smiling earning glares from the neighboring Ravenclaws.

"Strawberries of doom!" I piped.

"Troll bogies" George said followed by a "birdbrain" by Fred.

"Bloody mickfuzzal" Tanya said smugly as twins and I gasped in fake horror. "How do you take that for being narrow-minded"

"Tanya Royce"

"That is no"

"Language for a young lady" The twins scolded the young Gryffindor.

"tarraing é" Tanya replied, laughing a the fact that they didn't know Suck it when they heard it.

However no one seemed to know what she meant till Seamus yelled out.

"Tanya Royce you kiss your mum with that mouth!" Tanya didn't seam to care as she watched amused at the faces her three friends made trying to translate what she had said.

"So Tanya what are we going to do today?" I asked as I put my feet upon the table.

"Well I was going to visit Lupin for a bit and you were going to do your homework" She said emphasizing the homework.

"I'm sorry. You were looking at me and saying things? I wasn't really listening" I replied.

"Beatrix" Tanya was annoyed and therefore not happy at my attitude. What are friends for? Shirley not to be Friendly.

"Fine I'll do w-wor-work-k-k-k" I tried as the words sputtered out of my mouth trying to pronounce it.

"So what are you waiting for!"

"Strawberries and for Fred to remove the prank he has on me" I said pointedly unsure weither or not I should move. As Tanya barraged him, saying now I'm not going to do my work.

"Tanya you speak so low of me! Me not do work because someone tried to prank me? Tut tut"

"Beatrix you know as well as I that you never turn down a challenge" She said while rubbing the back of her head from the injury of the previous night.

"Good times but that is all behind me now" I said dramatically earning a shake of the heads of the Gryffindors around me. "I swear!"

"Really Beatie then"

"What are you doing?"

"At this very"

"Moment?" The twins asked looking pointedly at my wand under the table.

"Getting Fred back, But it doesn't count, its Fred!" I alleged.

"Be that as that may" Tanya began with a soft but loud 'Hey I'm right here!' echoing behind her "You have to finish your work do you not want the stay ahead?"

"Yes mommy"

"I'm not your mommy"

"Then can I prank Fred!" I said with my happiest little kid voice.

"No"

"Poopy, go to your Professor I don't want to talk no more" I said stomping off in a fake tirade.

~Third Person POV~

Jumping up and down on her bed Beatrix tried to think of what to do. She already trapped the first years in a closet. , told Draco that Professor Snape had to see him, told McGonagall that the first years were having a party, and Told Professor Snape that she saw a few Students in his privet stores. She was running out of thing s to do for the day, yes these amateur things seemed well amateur and that didn't bode well for Beatrix as the big finally was going to occur during dinner.

"Does Miss bee-Trix wantz someting?" Zippy asked bouncing around the room.

"Hmmm I want strawberries and milk!" She replied heading to her desk; she may as well do some homework as she has nothing else.

Number one: In what potion do you use belladonna as a base? Is this wise or if you had no belladonna what would you use as its replacement. Write two paragraphs' explaining why.

Belladonna is used in most potions. Like the pepper up. In all actuality The Pepperup Potion is the only known potion that actually uses belladonna as a base. In 1930 Frances Jones was the first to discover this making the Pepperup Potion up more potent and quick acting. Frances Jones also discovered that it was less likely to react in severe temperature change making it ideal to carry in your pocket.
Glover Hipworth was the inventor of the much acclaimed Pepperup Potion in 1860 and his original base was worm root. However it was highly unstable and did not stand well in extreme temperature change. I do think that the belladonna was a positive change and has in positive greatly improved the concoction. So in relativity it is wise to use the replacement in the Pepperup Potion.
Number Ten: In what …..

It was quite and sitting at the desk was getting boring for Beatrix as she began to play darts with her father's photo, with charmed darts that commentated when ever they hit something. They then would return when they had finished. By now you could not even see her father in the picture with all the holes in the face. Editing the Darts she then began to throw them more. They now made splat noises when hitting the paper, temporarily making her feel better.

"Zippy what time is it?" Beatrix asked the elf, bored of her potions work.

"Almost time forz dinner" he said taken away the glass of milk and bowl.

"Okay!" she said jumping from her chair not bothering to clean her mess nearly spilling the ink.

Skipping through the corridors she went to the Great hall for Dinner, randomly stopping to chat with a portrait as she passed. After a long discussion, with a rather young looking portrait she she left entering the great hall taking a seat next to a confused Tanya. Snatching the strawberries in her reach she started to munch. Not caring about the weird looks the seventh years were giving her.

"Beatrix, why are you sitting here?" Tanya asked looking at her curiously.

"What can't I sit beside my best friend in the whole wide world" She replied rhetorically. Polishing of the bowl of strawberries on her lap. "Wait don't answer that I see some more strawberries!"

Running around the hall she grabbed three more bowls of big juicy Fruit commonly known as you guessed, Strawberries. Taking a glance at the head table she then grabbed two more bowls.

"Beatrix what is with you and what have you done to the First years" Tanya said pointedly.

"Just, the first years?" Beatrix replied waving at the remaining teaching staff.

"You didn't!" It wasn't a question.

Rambling with Tanya made Beatrix bored, if only slightly for some unknown reason she felt incomplete as one would say. Then it hit her like a ten ton brick. The twins were missing. Ignoring Tanya she tried to think were they might be; annoying Tanya if only a bit. Making a mental note in her head she tried to remember what they told her this morning.

"And if you are actually paying attention to me I would like you to repeat what I-"

"No time where are the twins they never miss a meal" Beatrix interrupted earning a 'damn you Beatrix' look from Tanya.

"They said something about candy…. Hey are you thinking what I'm thinking" Tanya asked with a mischievous smile.

"I don't think so, because you have that 'I want to eat more than candy' look on your face" With a loud swat. Beatrix was then knocked back. Before she knew it they were heading towards Gryffindor Tower.

Taking the Shortcut they got there in no time. Barging into the common room they found the twins fast asleep on the couch books in hand. Not able to resist Beatrix grabbed a pen and started to draw on their faces. Drawing a kitty on Fred's cheek did she notice what they were reading. How to make things boom: by Greg Valor. On the page you could see someone elses writing making modifications.

"Beatrix you are such a child" Ginny said walking through the portrait whole.

"You speak so little of me" Beatrix stat plopping a seat next to her red headed sleeping friend. "Why are you so mean, isn't the boy-who live talking to you"

"Oh I am so sorry my Slytherin queen I hath not realized how mature you are or thou would not speak so idly" Ginny said with a bow. "And a matter of fact he is talking to me"

"Tanya throw this miscreant into the dungeon I don't want to see her" Beatrix exclaimed now using Fred as a pillow.

"Sure and while I'm at it I'll bring you some Strawberry tea"

"Could you" Her face lit up, the sound nearly woke the twins.

"No do it your self, and you have detention remember" She said taking her seat on the chair, not looking at the confused face of her friend.

"That I do" Saying her good byes Beatrix slipped out on the room virtually unnoticed of the Portraits on the other side.

Once off the 7th floor she found Crookshanks. As the cat started to weave through her legs she wondered how Ron couldn't like the fur ball.

"Beatrix Have you seen CROOKSHANKS" Hermione yelled running over to the cat like a giddy school girl.

"Yes I have seen CROOKSHANKS" She said sarcastically.

"Oh don't be that way" Hermione made the mistake to mummble Pure-blood bigot.

"You filthy-!"

"Mudblood is that what you were going to say" Hermione interrupted.

"No I was going to say hypocrite, just because you are a muggle born does not mean you can insult anyone. Yes I may be of pure-blood but I do not fallow the steps of my family. Because to me you and Pansy are no different" Handing her back the cat Beatrix stormed off to the Dungeons.

Skipping down to the potions lab she started to set up for her lesson. Snape wasn't there so she decided to take it slow. She knew it wasn't nice for her to not tell her friend about these extra lessons but she needed them more than spending extra time doing nothing. Cleaning the dirty cauldron of the last student she started with the potion. It was an easy brew that only needed heat around the last hour.

"You're early" Snape said walking through the doors.

"No your just late, however since you are here I need some help. Don't want to go to the hospital wing now do I" She said cheekily.

"Don't speak that way to your elders" Snape said a frown on his face.

"Oh don't be like that uncle Sev, You know I'm joking with you"

"I'm not you uncle" He said solemnly turning away towards his desk.

"May as well be" she said quietly. "Hey, aren't you helping me?"

"You're a big girl you can figure it out"
