~!~ Hey, I hope you guys like it so far! Constructive criticism only pleez! And amazingly enough, I still own almost nothing in this story!! ~!~

Fate and Sadie linked arms as they looked up at Hogwarts castle from their boat. They were both shivering from a combination of excitement and the frigid breeze which wrapped around them off of the lake. Fate pulled her robes in closer around her. "Oh, I really really hope we get into Slytherin now, it'd be so awesome! Oh can you imagine? I hope me and Marcus last a really long time, he's so nice to me! I hope that snotty Sarah is put in hufflepuff or something..hehehe, we'll call her stupid Sarah and throw things at her if she gets rude towards us!"

"Yeah, you're definately a Slytherin," Sadie smiled, "you're already plotting evilly."

Fate grinned at the sky, thinking about Marcus. She thought about what he might expect from her, she was only 11, but suddenly she felt so much older. He was only 13 so he couldn't expect too much from her...right? She pondered what her half sister would say if she was here. Probably tell her to stop it now, she was too young for this stuff, and true, she would know, she was 10 years older then her. She looked down at her nails, they were glimmering at her, the yellow sparkles shining in the moonlight. She suddenly felt beautiful under the moonlight, and her heart was still racing from the first time she kissed Marcus. She loved this feeling, like she'd just won a million dollars and had been declared princess of the universe. She saw a certain blonde haired girl a few boats ahead and frowned a little, she figured that she had to feel some bad stuff to truly appreciate how Marcus made her feel. A powerful feeling surged through her and her mind's mention of the name. She enjoyed this silence, she looked over at Sadie, who was obviously thinking of Joseph, her eyes glazed over and her lips looking like they'd been tugged up on the sides. She giggled briefly then snapped back into reality and looked over at Fate. "We have to get into Slytherin" Sadie smiled.

~!~ Later, in the Great Hall, Getting sorted ~!~

"Larkmen, Sadie" Professor McGonagell read out and Sadie screamed slightly.

She approached the hat, sat down and put it on. As she sat Fate could clearly see her mouth 'slytherin' over and over again. Fate bit her lip and looked over at the Slytherin table where Joseph was wringing his napkin in anticipation and Marcus was gazing at Fate. Fate waved and smiled, feeling so loved that she didn't even notice the dirty stare Sarah was giving her. Suddenly the hat coughed and said "Huff"

"NOOO SLYTHERIN!!" Sadie screamed at the hat so loudly that everyone laughed, except the Hufflepuff table, who instead glared over in offence. "Rav"

"no, SLYTHERIN!" Sadie said with more attitude. "Gryf"

"WHAT did I JUST say? SLYTHERIN!" Sadie said with growing anger within her. "Very well, SLYTHERIN!" the agitated hat spoke in anger.

Sadie giggled and skipped over to the table and sat between Joseph and Marcus, cuddling into Joseph. A few more were called then "Sherwin, Fate" rang through the hall.

Fate walked up, looked over at Marcus and smiled before she sat down. The hat hummed. 'Slytherin pretty pretty please Slytherin, ohhh please Slytherin!!' Fate thought as she pictured herself in a Slytherin uniform. The hat started to say Ravenclaw but Fate cleared her throat and shook her head a little. "Fine, SLYTHERIN!" the hat said.

Fate smiled, poped the hat off and slid on the bench next to Sadie and Marcus. As she passed by the other first years she heard some say how they wanted to be in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff and how rude they thought Fate and Sadie were. Fate shrugged her shoulders and quickly scurried into Marcus' arms. She watched as her other friends were divided up. Sarah and Robyn were placed in Gryffindor, which Marcus said was perfect because with them in there we had all of Slytherin against them. Tara was put in Hufflepuff and Annie got stuck in Ravenclaw. Annie looked jealously at us, she'd hoped that in Slytherin there would be other smokers who'd give her some help or maybe sneak her off to some forbidden place and smoke with her. But we all figured that Ravenclaw wasn't the type to harbor smokers and when we told Marcus and Joseph they laughed. Marcus was happy, and feeling a little nervous, he wasn't sure what he was really supposed to do, he was glad that she wasn't too experienced in this, because he would most definately make an ass out of himself, which he didn't want to do. Carefully he rubbed his thumb in the small of her back. She smiled and leaned into him more. He turned his head slightly and kissed her on the top of the head. Fate waved at the staring Robyn and Sarah coily, a small smile appearing on her face as she did. Finally everyone had been sorted away and Fate smiled broadly as food appeared. "I'm starving" she whispered to Sadie, but Sadie just nodded as she stuffed food into her mouth anxiously.

Marcus looked over at Fate and smiled broadly, revealing the bits of food stuck in his teeth. Fate smiled and kissed Marcus before she moved onto some chicken wings which lay in front of her. She was about to wipe a bit of the sauce off her cheek when Marcus stopped her and kissed it off. Fate smiled and went on with her food while rapidly discussing with Sadie how cute they looked in their uniforms. After a dessert of trifle they all got up and proceeded with their prefect to their common room. They sat together until late in the night and Marcus and Joseph both signed up to try out for the quidditch team. Fate cuddled into Marcus and encouraged him. True, she'd never really seen him play quidditch, but he was certainly built like a good quidditch player. She rested herself in his arms as he laid sprawled out on the couch and shut her eyes, smelling the scent of his clothes, the smell of his cologne, and inhaling this loving energy which seemed to surround him in an eery sort of way. They'd taken off their robes and untucked their shirts at this point, so they felt pretty comfortable together as they lulled into a gentle rest. Next thing they knew it was morning and people were stampeding all around them. "rgghh, wot? wot's going on?" Marcus grumbled and rolled over, nearly knocking Fate onto the floor.

Fate opened her eyes slowly and coughed slightly. "Oh my god, Marcus...it's morning!" Fate jumped up and grabbed her wand and a mirror out of her robes pocket. Carefully she moved the wand through her hair, muttering a slight incantation as she did it. When she finished her hair looked perfect and a small amount of makeup was applied. She pulled on her robes and shook Marcus as he lay down on the couch, asleep again. "Wot?" he said, barely opening his eyes, then realising where he was.

Marcus leaped up, pulled on his robes and grabbed Fate, rushing her down to breakfast. They got down there just in time to eat some cereal and toast before Fate and Sadie were handed their timetables. "Hmmmm" Sadie groaned and looked at the Gryffindor table.

Fate noticed and looked down at her schedule. "Crap" was all she managed to say.

"What is it?" Marcus looked over her shoulder and kissed her neck tenderly.

"Well," Sadie began, "we're stuck with the Gryfies first thing in the morning and right after lunch..the gryfies which include Sarah and Robyn."

"Robyn's the one with the dark brown roots, right?" Joseph asked and upon noticing both Fate and Sadie's nods moved on pressing them,"then why is it that she's sitting at the Ravenclaw table?"

Sadie and Fate smiled at eachother. "Well, Robyn's left the darkside then" they giggled as Robynleaned into a tall blonde guy, who wasn't rejecting her affection at all.

Fate turned to Marcus, "Who is that guy?"

Marcus smiled slightly, "Tom Wood, Oliver Wood's cousin....the one Oliver would rather not be related to after some, ummm, incidents involving some baby pictures," Marcus laughed at the memory
