Disclaimer: Not mine. As sad as that makes me.

Warning: There will be fem slash of the girl on girl variety. If you haven't guessed yet you are blonde. And that in itself was a hint. But not in this chapter, maybe. It depends on how far we get. I'm not entirely sure when the fem slash will be… but I promise to warn if anything of the like pops up because I don't want prudes complaining that they didn't like what they read. There is a warning right here, and a warning before every lime like lemon thing. So no flames please.

A/N so it hasn't been too long, only a couple weeks… Okay it's been forever….I wish it truly hadn't been that long and I truly am sorry. So it's been forever and I have come to the conclusion that I am that which I hate. I am an author that does not update regularly and leaves readers waiting for months and I hate that. But I have plenty of time to be writing so I should be able to update more often, but I do not have internet so the only times I will be able to update is when I am able to find Wi-Fi. So there we go. Anyway... To the chapter! Allons-y

"Normal speech."

PREVIOUSLY

Well hello, what have we here?

ALLONS-Y!

Obviously that is a rhetorical question. You CAN see most of what is in my head so you know what we have here so skip the entire talk bit and put me in a house.

It is interesting that this is first time I have had to deal with someone who has travelled in time, and related to Miss Evans too, hmmm that explains a lot. Your people were not meant to take such things. And a sex change… How interesting…

Wait, what? People? What are you babbling about? Hat speak to me…

…You have a strong mind, quiet intelligent. Cunning and you are very determined. You are hiding much, some you do not even know about…

Hat! What's this about my mother?!

…You are strong, brave, and have excellent leadership qualities but it seems Gryffindor was not my first choice for you…

Stop ignoring me you flea ridden bean bag!

"SLYTHERIN"

Zetsumei roughly pulled the hat off her head and glared at it as she clenched her fists tightly, digging her nails into the worn fabric.

"You will tell me what it is you were babbling about stupid insipid burlap sack, or Merlin help me I will burn you." She hissed in a strained whisper. The hat looked to be thinking for a moment before that tear it used as a mouth spread wide in some sort of grin.

"The answers you seek cannot be told by me. That path, you must walk alone. Have a good night Miss Lillien." And the hat disappeared. With her fists still clenched she turned and gave Dumbledore a slight glare. He just smiled at her and gave her a shooing motion towards her new house.

She turned around and made her way past all the starring, whispering students towards the table against the far wall. She held her fists at her sides but held her head high, ignoring those around her.

Dumbledore's great niece, a Slytherin?

I wonder if she's a Death eater.

Dumbledore must be disappointed.

She gritted her teeth as she approached the green table; as she approached the table and whispers grew she scowled at those nearest her. She caught the eyes of Narcissa, who stood from her place at the table and rushed towards her.

"Well hello again dear. It seems I'll be seeing much more of you now. Why don't you join me?" She wove her arm with hers, linking their fingers together and pulled her towards her seat. Sumei tried to ignore the heat that spread from the tips of her fingers, up her arms and through the rest of her body. It seemed to instantly calm her and she couldn't help but give a small smile. When they reached the seat Narcissa released her hand and motioned for her to sit next to her.

Sumei took a deep breath before sitting. As she sat at the table the food appeared and everyone started to serve themselves. She bowed her head as she peeked at the woman next to her through the hair that fell in her face. The blonde smiled to Lucius who was sitting across from her as she reached for a roll. Her slender wrist and arms covered with the normal school cardigan. She let her eyes travel along the curve of the slender neck that was exposed, to her slim jaw. The blue eyes sparkled as she smiled.

Sumei felt her heart beat quicker as she watched the other woman and the heat start to travel through her body again. She averted her eyes to the empty plate in front of her.

So you still like girls. Not like that's a bad thing. Narcissa is beautiful, funny, and she has saved her life. Her eyes lifted so that she looked through her lashes at the man that sat in front of her. Their eyes connected for a split second over the book he was 'reading'. They both looked down at realizing they had been caught. And you still like Snape. Brilliant.

A hand came into view in front of her making her lean back away from the contacted and look at the owner.

Regulus.

"You should eat, you probably have had a long day." He smiled at her crookedly. His ice eyes flashing with amusement as he pushed the bowl of mashed potatoes towards her. She smiled shyly at him as she grabbed it.

He really did look a lot like Sirius.

She looked across the hall at the loudest table, the group of four being the loudest. A couple seats down sat a beautiful auburn haired woman who sat reading quietly. She looked like she belonged more in Ravenclaw then in the house of the Lions. She chewed absentmindedly as she looked back at the small group who all were looking at her. She lowered her spoon and stared back. She took her wand out underneath the table and gave it a small swish. Watching intently as the four watched her oblivious to the four dishes of gravy rising around them.

But the rest of the hall weren't.

Next to her Narcissa and Regulus both stopped their conversations and watched with slack jaws as Sirius Black the family member from across the hall stood up.

"Hey, new girl do you have a staring problem?"

Zetsumei smiled sweetly and looked around the hall carefully. Dumbledore looked at her with smiling eyes as the bowls started circling the small group.

"No I'm just wondering why you remind me so much of a mutt." The four jaws fell open and he fell back into his seat. Narcissa and Regulus looked at her sharply. Across from her a smirk spread across the thin lips. The auburn haired woman was looking at her curiously.

The four put their heads together and began to whisper, sneaking glances at her, still not noticing the four bowls above their heads.

She looked down at her plate, the half-eaten potatoes. She went to pick up her spoon again but half way there she sighed. It was no fun anymore not when she was alone. She dropped her hand to the table; and stood from the table, dropping the spell. She ignored the squawks and laughter as she walked from the hall.

It was now that she was going to do a prank when it hit her. She was in the past. Alone, and she had no way home. She walked out the main doors towards the lake. Or specifically the willow tree that she usually sat under near the lake. As she sank into the grass she pulled the shrunken trunk out and she opened it. In neat shrunken piles were her clothes and shoes to one side. The other had women's essentials. Even now the thought still made her blush.

She brushed that all aside and pulled out a smaller box at the bottom. Inside was a book and some special quills that she had picked up from the stationary shop when this had all started. When the others had found out they insisted that she document what happened to her. And to start it all out they stole the book and on the first page put two pictures one that had been take at the beginning of the year when Draco had turned her hair green and then one from after she had been turned into a girl.

She ran her hand along the smooth black leather that had her name etched in silver letters at the bottom. When she had become comfortable with the new her, had finally admitted to herself at least that she was happy being a girl, she had made it so she was the only that could see the last picture of Harry Potter. And now with the backfire of the antidote she supposed she should feel sad that she couldn't get back to her life. But now she could start over.

She opened the book to the second page and read over her last few entrees before flipping to a blank page.

She stared at the page for a moment before sighing and closing the book. What was she too write?

I'm sorry guys pranking just isn't the same without you. Draco your mom is hot.

She shook her head and put the book back into its box, smiling as the wind breezed past.

"As prefect I must ask you to return to the dormitory." Her hands slowly smoothed the lid on the box as she peeked through her lashes at the tall slim figure standing between the hanging branches of the willow. The breeze picked up the ends of his dark hair and moved it barely across his cheeks. She slowly put the box into her trunk and shrunk it. He arched a brow at her and folded his arms.

Severus Snape.

She looked at him from the side, his ebony eyes narrowed at her. They burned through her like a fever, but she ignored it in favor of putting the small trunk back into her pocket. As she stood he moved forward blocking her path.

"I will escort you." His dark eyes bore into hers as he dared her to defy him. They scanned her face carefully as she smiled.

"I do not believe that is necessary, I think I should be fine by myself." She moved around him, smiling softly as his eyes followed her. When she looked back over her shoulder his eyes followed her calculatingly.

She looked forward again, watching the glowing lights from the windows of the castle smiling softly. If she was going to be here there was no use being all gloom and doom about it. Take some stories home… if she gets home. But until then she could finish her year.

She looked behind her again and the dark figure standing between the branches of the tree.

Get to know people better.

A/N So I have plenty of time to write and im starting with editing everything I've done. This is the first one. Also it seems either the computer or this site is off because I did update one other 'World So Cold' but it says the last update date was 7/22/2012. So I have no internet and will update when I am able to find some.
