"So you're the new Slytherin," the girl standing being her said as Samantha unpacked. "And your name's Sam?"
"Yeah," Sam replied. "So? What's your name?"
"Bella," the girl answered. She pointed to the bed to the left of Sam's "That's where I sleep."
"Hi, nice to meet you," Sam said monotonously. She was still getting over having to leave all of her other friends, as few as they may have been.
"So... Professor Snape's your father?" Bella asked casually. Sam turned to examine Bella darkly. Bella was a typical Slytherin girl; tall and thin with straight, flowing, black hair. The only thing different about her was her rosy cheeks; her face actually looked somewhat friendly.
"Yes," she replied, turning back to her unpacking. She warned, "But don't think that he'll go any easier on me than the rest of the house. I have to be the best, and that's what I'll be."
"Boy, you sure have high standards," Bella remarked. Sam spun around and pointed her wand directly at Bella's nose.
"Those are my father's standards, I just live by them," she informed her. Without lowering her wand, she added, "Don't ever tell me anything that you don't want my father to hear, got it?"
Bella nodded, her rosy cheeks turning a shade lighter.
Samantha sat in the library, studying to make sure she knew everything on a test her father had informed her about. She hadn't even had any classes yet, but her father wanted to amaze everyone by having her get a perfect score on something she hadn't been introduced to yet. Sam knew that she was going to get a lecture from her father if this didn't go right. The quiz was tomorrow, in Advanced Muggle Studies, but Sam couldn't quite grasp the concept of useless devices such as computers and the Internet.
"Hullo, what are you reading?" Bella's cheerful voice made Sam jump in the usually silent library.
"Nothing," she replied, ignoring Bella. Bella stuck her head over Sam's shoulder and glanced at the text. Sam closed the book in annoyance.
"Muggle Studies?" Bella asked.
"Advanced Muggles Studies, if you please," Sam corrected Bella, her voice like the winter wind.
"Funny objects, those electric letters, aren't they?" Bella asked casually. Sam looked at her blankly. Bella realized, "OH, I get it. You don't get the concepts of-"
"I understand it perfectly," Sam interrupted, a menacing look in her eye. Bella looked startled for a moment.
"Of course, you understand perfectly that..." Bella clarified all of Sam's misunderstanding of the text and actually put it so that Sam could understand it.
"Of course," Sam said gratefully after Bella had skillfully explained it to her. As she headed back to the Slytherin common room, she whispered, "Thank you."
