" Jackie, where is the powdered Bicon Horn? If we don't add it to the potion, Professor Blackwater won't be pleased, " I told my best friend Jacqueline Christi. Even though she was a Gryffindor, we found time to meet each other to talk, or plot revenge on the Maurders. " Ah, little Servus scared? Don't worry, Jackie's here! " For a Gryffindor she had a cruel sense of humor. She pulled some out of her bag a through it in. " Happy? " she asked. " Very! " Class dismissed and we went our separate ways.

Since the first time I had met Jackie on the train, I new she was different. Not because she has sliver hair, and not because her eyes were warm gray. Everybody looked at me like they thought I was a slime ball. She looked at me and saw my soul. Sounds pretty weird huh? Next was free period so I went up to the owlery and scribbled a note to Jackie saying to meet me in the empty classroom in ten minutes. I handed the letter to Alex, our joint owl. He flew off taking her the letter.
I started towards the empty classroom. I got there with two minutes two spare. She walked in a bright smile on her face, and a sparkle in those beautiful eyes. She sat down. " You rang? " she asked. " Yes m'lady. I need to ask you something. But first, what is the newest trick those freaks the Maurders played on you? " I asked wanting to delay the question. We were in our sixth year, so we could come to the Halloween dance. I wanted her to come with me.
" They tried to get me to eat a Canary cream that would make me stay a Canary until Christmas! " she said anger in her eyes. " What did you want to ask me? "
" W-well, you know how we can come to the Halloween dance? Well, I want a date. It is a week away you know. "

She looked at me confused. Then, she looked at her watch. " Oh my gosh! I Have to go get ready for dinner! We'll continue this after dinner. Same place. Bye!" she said and rushed out. I sighed. I will just have to tell her later. I walked gloomily to the Great Hall. I entered to see Jackie sitting all alone. How I so wanted to sit by her, but I couldn't. I was a Slitheryin. Dinner passed quickly. As they dismissed us I saw Jackie head towards the classroom. I followed suit. We walked in at different times so nobody would notice. " So what did you wanna ask me? " she asked putting on that ' look ' she has that makes me go queasy inside with butterflies. " I want you to, " I paused. " please don't freak out, but, will you go to the dance with me? "

" It's okay. It was a long shot anyway. I mean, it would probably ruin our friendship," I said.
" I'd love to! "
" Well, I guess I could get, wait! Did you say you would? "
" Uh huh. " I smiled and hugged her.
" But, " I said sort of uncertain. " I need dance lessons. " She nodded, and ripped off her robe reviling shorts and a T-shirt. She took her wand and suddenly music starting play. She took my hand and started doing the cha-cha. I was in heaven.
" This is the cha-cha. Move your hips like this and do you feet like this, " she told me.

Those dance lessons continued until the day before the dance. I was getting quite good. " Well, Mr. Snape, I think you are ready. See you tomorrow? " she said smoothly. " Of course!" We went our separate ways.
The dance was here! I slicked back my hair, put on my emerald dress robe, and brushed my teeth. I headed down. I saw Jackie standing there. She was wearing a silver dress robe with stars and moons on it. Her hair was pulled up in shiny clips, emphasizing her high cheekbones. Her make-up was expertly applied. She was beautiful. I wrapped my arm around hers and we walked in. Everyone stared. Swing music started playing, and we got out there and we tore it up. Everyone cleared us a circle and we were rocking! At the end of the song everyone cheered. I smiled at Jackie. She smiled back. " May I cut in? " asked Remus Lupin. " Sure. Be my guest, " I answered unsurely. He took Jackie's hand and started dancing. She looked like she was enjoying herself. That really hurt me. I walked outside into the twilight. I stood there and listened to the music play inside. Suddenly, a unicorn came up to me. " To think I almost missed this, " I heard Jackie say behind me.
" Decided to come back to your date huh? " I said sharply. " What was that for? " she asked hurt. " Dancing with Lupin. "
" He asked me. I couldn't say no. "
" Yes you could. Jackie, I really like you, and you just broke my heart. You were my first love. "
" And you were mine. "
" You really mean it? "
" Of course. Servus, you have shown me not all Slytherens are bad. You have shown me the light. " Right then and there, I kissed her. I was 16 and getting my first kiss. We broke apart. We looked down. The unicorn stared at us with a * twinkle * in it's eyes and then trotted off. I didn't know it then, but that was a twinkle I knew.

" Yes, Minerva, I know it's uncanny, but they seem to have fallen in love, " Dumbledore said with a * twinkle * in his eyes. " But, how? A Gryffindor and a Slitheryin? That just doesn't make sense! " Mongonagall said bewildered. " Love doesn't always make sense. They have came out of their shells and admitted their love. "
" How did you find this out? "
" I have my ways, " Dumbledore said with that familiar * twinkle * in his eyes.
