Sorry I wasn't able to update in such a long time ;)

I was having problems posting chapters...fanfiction's fault ;D

I myself do not like this chapter very much, but I think we must all know thy enemy.

Chapter 11

"Knowing thy Enemy"

After Potions, the subject Zanna disliked most and passed merely because of the connections her family had with Snape, was over, she directed herself to her usual seat in the Great Hall for lunch. There, her friends were ready with the information on the girl.

"Name: Aleja Zaire, age: 12, house: Gryffindor, natural hair color: black, eye color: black with brown flecks, popularity in Hogwarts: medium, popularity outside Hogwarts: negative ten, parents: nobodies, best subject: charms, worst subject: defense against the dark arts. That's pretty much all I've gathered-the basics," Louisa said.

"Not bad and good job on all those Lu, very specific and informative," Zanna commented.

"Best friends, or, only friends are Natalie Kingsley and Gianne Gobblestone," began Suze, bur Zanna cut her off.

"Gianne? The Hufflepuff girl?" she asked.

Suze nodded.

"She has the biggest crush on Malfoy," she said.

"We could taunt her with that," Suze suggested.

"No. We taunt Aleja, not her friends, not her family-her and her alone. It's how it's done," Zanna said.

"I trust her, her father knows best, transfers information to his daughter-boom-genius mastermind!" Daniela said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Anyway," Daniela said, "She seems to flirt with everyone around. I'm serious it's like comedy! I've seen her flirting with different people already, it's hilarious!

"We can catch her in the halls sometimes," Suze suggested.

Zanna nodded at her idea.

An idea was already forming in her head. She could easily befriend Natalie and Gianne. Of course they'd want to be friends with her too, who wouldn't?

She walked to the Ravenclaw table to her other friends,

"Maria Svetlana told me she's looking for liposuction. She inquired with Maria's mom, a plastic surgeon," Alicia Chow told her.

"Love you, Lice. You may seems like one of the nerdy genius around here, but you are hot on gossip, girl," Zanna said as she walked away.

Then she walked over to the Hufflepuff table where nothing special was mentioned. She moved on to Gryffindor.

"She tried out for Quidditch, you should have seen her!" exclaimed Maxine Priorlaeux, her bubbly platinum blond with rocking brown highlights friend with her semi-French accent.

"Did I miss an epic?" Zanna asked.

"It looked like a pig on a broom!" Monica, Maxine's twin, mentioned. Unlike her sister, Monica had plain platinum blond hair that looked even more platinum than Draco's. Nevertheless, both of them were stunning.

"She was talking about it a few days before try-outs. Very boisterous girl, so it can't be called eavesdropping in my part. Telling everyone that she's trying out and how sure she was that she'd get in. Pathetic girl, I don't care if we're in the same house, she's awful!" Maxine said.

"Since you are the known on this situation, Quidditch wannabe, affirmative?" Zanna asked.

"Positive," the twins replied in union.

Zanna walked away with a satisfied smile.

This wasn't just some fight that went on between two girls of differences. It was much more than that. Aleja Zaire had mocked her. She judged her because of the rumors going around. And yes, maybe she did go around thinking, practically knowing that she was better than others, mainly because it was obvious. Her bloodline was prestigious. Her Quidditch skills were majestic. She was more than average when it came with appearances. Those things and so much more contributed to her ego. Once it got so high, nothing could bring it down. Bringing down those who try to reduce its size is the only thing that is going to happen.
