Chapter 2

"Oh, and did you hear him say don't worry, Myra, you know I love you?" Myra squealed, walking into the castle with Fauna. "I almost fainted."

"Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't. I was waiting for it" laughed Fauna.

"Are you two talking about Harry Potter?" Pansy Parkinson interrupted them.

"No" both girls answered, with looks of disgust on their faces.

"Why would we be talking about him?" Fauna asked.

"Oh" Pansy said and shrugged. "I just overheard Neville Longbottom say that Potter fainted on the train because of the dementors."

Forgetting her hatred towards Pansy, Myra laughed.

"Mr. I defeated the dark lord fainted because of a dementor?" she cracked up.

"Apparently so." Pansy shrugged and walked into the castle.

"I wish she would choke on pumpkin juice" said Fauna, watching Pansy climb the steps.

"From this angle, we have a perfect shot at her fat arse." Myra laughed and pulled out her wand, pointing it at Pansy. "There's no way we could miss."

"Naughty, naughty girls" came a lofty voice from behind them. The girls spun around and Peeves the poltergeist appeared. He stuck out his tongue and snatched Myra's wand before she could stop him.

"Now, now, what were you going to do? Give her a tail?" he asked.

"Give me that back, Peeves" Myra jumped up to try to grab her wand.

"Oooh, not so tough without our wand, are we?" he taunted.

"Give it back to her!" Fauna glared at him, pulling out her wand.

"Alright, I'll give it back" he said, looking sad. "But you'll have to catch me first" he zoomed across the lawn, laughing.

"Damn it!" Myra yelled and ran after the ghost. Fauna sighed and followed her. They didn't have to run too far. Peeves dropped their wand at the entrance to the Forbidden Forest.

"Well," said Myra breathlessly, as she bent down to pick up her wand. "That was pointless."

"Peeves just likes to be a nuisance" said Fauna, looking around to see if she could see him anywhere. "Come on, we don't want to miss any more of the feast."

Thankfully, they hadn't missed anything, but when they walked into the Great Hall, they were the last students to arrive. The Slytherin table was full except for the reserved seats for the students to be sorted.

"What's going on?" Fauna nervously whispered to Myra, as the whole hall suddenly stopped talking. Everyone seemed to be staring at the girls.

"I don't know, but I do know what you mean." Myra whispered back. They started walking towards the Slytherin table, and everyone got noisy again.

"I think there are some seats over here" Myra motioned towards the far end of the hall by the teachers. "Let's go"

"Hello?" a voice from behind them asked.

Fauna and Myra turned around to see Oliver Wood wearing the biggest smile they've ever seen.

"Hello?" Myra mocked at him. Wood looked at Fauna.

"You girls must be new to Hogwarts. Would you like to sit at the Gryffindor table with me and my friends?" he smiled at them and gave Fauna a little wink.

Fauna and Myra looked at each other, wondering what in the hell was wrong with Oliver. Then it clicked to Fauna; the Vanity Verum. She twisted her face into an evil grin and remembering his and her little joke from last year, grabbed Oliver by the front of his shirt so her mouth was level with his ear.

"So...did you live up to your name this summer, WOOD?" she whispered, then pushed him away, her mile-wide smile getting even bigger. Wood's eyes got wide.

"F-f-f Fauna?" he sputtered, in total shock. Fauna slowly nodded her head. He stood there for a second, shaking his head. 'Why does she look so different this year?,' he thought to himself. Then he turned to the girl standing next to her. "Myra, it's you!" he exclaimed.

"Yes, Wood, it's ME." said Myra sarcastically, with a look of disgust on her face. "You girls look so...different." said Oliver.

"We've heard." Fauna laughed.

"Well, I'll just go back to my table now, shall I" Oliver gave Fauna a little hug and left, leaving Fauna standing there with an idiotic grin on her face and Myra looking as if she were about to be sick. She never understood the little bond between Fauna and Oliver, and definitely didn't know where it came from.

One day during their third year, Oliver had asked Fauna to go for a walk by the lake, and the two had been close ever since. She knew he had a thing for her friend, but Fauna insisted it was 'just like brother and sister.'

'Wow,' Myra thought; 'if Wood liked her then, he's going to be crazy for her now.' She could just see the giddy little bastard all over Fauna.

"Did you see him?!" Fauna squealed, interrupting her thoughts.

"What?" Myra looked at her friend. "How could I miss him? He was right up in our faces. Although you seemed to enjoy it."

"Oh shut up" Fauna laughed, hitting Myra in the head.

"Oy, Myra!" called a masculine voice from across the hall.

"Who was that?" Fauna asked, looking around.

"It's Marcus Flint!" Myra squealed at the top of her lungs. "And look who's sitting with him."

Fauna's eyes followed Myra's finger to the far end of the Slytherin table where Marcus sat right across from Draco Malfoy. "Let's go!" Fauna grabbed Myra's arm and pulled her through the crowd of people.

"Hi" Myra said shyly.

"Now is not the time to be shy," Fauna leaned over and whispered quickly.

"Have a seat" said Marcus, standing up to greet them, he motioned next to Draco. Draco turned around and looked up at the girls. His face twisted into a grin that neither girl had ever seen as he looked Fauna up and down.

"My name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" he said, putting his hand out to Fauna.

"What-"Fauna began, but Myra nudged her with her elbow.

"Vanity Verum" she whispered. Fauna smiled.

"Avery, Fauna Avery" she said, shaking Draco's hand.

"Fauna?" Draco looked confused.

"Yes, Draco, do you have a problem?" Fauna leaned in closer to him.

'Why does she look so beautiful?' Draco asked himself, then shook his head and hit Goyle in the arm, telling him to move so Fauna and Myra would have room.

The girls exchanged a wide-eyed smile. They could not believe their luck. Here they were, sitting at the 'cool' part of the Slytherin table, which was reserved for the Quidditch team and their girlfriends and best friends.

Draco, who was sitting very close to Fauna, and looking for an excuse to move even closer, was telling them what Neville Longbottom had said about Harry Potter fainting on the train.

"Can you believe it? Famous scar head fainted because of a dementor. Longbottom, don't let the icky dementor get me!" Draco pretended to faint, just as Neville walked by and the whole table erupted into laughter.

"You're so mean, Draco!" Fauna laughed.

Marcus Flint, the Slytherin Quidditch captain was sitting opposite of Myra, laughing at Draco's Harry Potter impression and smiling at Myra every chance he got. Fauna, noticing this, grinned and blurted out louder then she intended

"Hey, Marcus; don't you think it's about time you had Madam Pompfrey do something about those horrific teeth?"

"Phhhh" Draco exploded into laughter, spraying the whole table with pumpkin juice. Both Myra and Marcus turned bright red.

"Umm…hehe" Fauna giggled, smiling shyly. Marcus kicked her under the table.

"Owww!" Fauna cried, laughing. She was relieved Marcus took it as a joke. 'I swear to god, this girl's mouth is going to get me in trouble someday,' Myra thought to herself, but couldn't help smirking. It was pretty funny.

"Where is Harry? I don't see him anywhere" said Pansy, straining to see over the other two tables full of students.

"Miss him, do you?" Myra said, louder then she thought she had, but was relieved when Marcus laughed with her.

"Yeah, Pansy, I think he is in the hospital wing. You can go and comfort him if you like." Marcus commented and smiled at Myra. Everyone, even Draco, was laughing. Pansy just sat back down and crossed her arms.

Just then, the doors to the Great Hall re-opened, and a host of first years to be sorted came crowding in.

"Know anyone being sorted?" Draco asked Fauna. She nodded.

"My cousins. They're those twins over there" she pointed to Shayna and Sahara.

"And my idiot of a brother." Myra added, pointing to Spencer.

Professor McGonagall came out and set the sorting hat onto it's stool. The hat began to move and twist until it was sitting upright, and began to recite it's legendary poem.

As Myra listened to the poem, she began to feel someone's eyes on her. She looked over at Marcus, Fauna, and Draco, but they were all engaged in conversation with each other. Then she realized who it was. Professor Severus Snape.

His face had a look of confusion, as though he was trying to figure out who she was. Myra immediately tried to get Fauna's attention, extremely worried.

"I think Snape knows" she whispered into Fauna's ear. "About the potion."

Fauna peered at the faculty table, but Snape's attention had turned to Remus Lupin, and he was giving him a look of disgust.

"It's alright. He's too much of a lame git to know anything." Fauna reassured her.

"What are you two whispering about?" Draco asked, leaning in between the girls.

"Girl stuff." Fauna managed weakly, getting as nervous as Myra.

"When I call your name, you will come up to the stool, put on the hat, and be sorted into your houses." Professor McGonagall's voice boomed through her magnified microphone.

"Leala Ashton!" she called first. A young girl came up to the stool, looking very scared, and sat down with the hat on.

"Hufflepuff!" the hat shouted, and the Hufflepuff table erupted into cheers.

"Hope we get some cool first years to torture." Marcus laughed.

"I see you torturing one little kid, and I'll personally torture you ten times worse." Fauna said, in her sweetest voice.

'For Merlin's sake, what's wrong with her?' Myra's eyes got wide. "I can't wait to torture the little first years," Myra boasted loudly, grinning at Marcus. He smiled sweetly back at her.

"I don't think torturing little kids is nice either." Draco said in a huffed voice, and put his arm around Fauna, apparently not liking the attention she was giving Marcus.

"So that's why you always take out your bad moods on whatever unlucky first year happens to be within your reach?" Marcus smirked at him.

"Oh will you shut up, you-"

"Look!" Myra cried. "Sahara's being sorted." Fauna, about to break up their fight, turned around to see.

"Ravenclaw!" the hat shouted.

"Oh...well, at least she's not in Slytherin." said Fauna. "I wonder if Shayna's going to be in the same house."

"Probably, we'll know in a second." Myra replied, just as the hat cried "Ravenclaw!"

"That's excellent, now where were we?" Draco glared at Marcus.

"Draco, you're acting like a 5 year old." Myra snapped, and instantly put her hand to her mouth, wishing she hadn't said that.

"She really does have a point, Draco." Marcus put his arm around Myra, putting a mile-wide smile on her face.

Draco dove at Marcus, and Myra bolted to the side, looking at Fauna with pure terror.

"Calm down, My." Fauna laughed. "They're joking...I think."

Myra turned her attention to Spencer, who was just sorted into Gryffindor, and Fauna grabbed Draco by the shoulders to pull him away from a hysterically laughing Marcus.

"Calm down, Draco" she whispered to him, rubbing his shoulders. Why does she have to do this to me here? Draco wondered, getting an idea.

"My brother is a Gryffindor?" Myra said, hiding her face with her hands. "I'll be the laughing stock of Slytherin."

"Anyone laughs at you, I'll kick their arse." Marcus said putting his arm back around her.

Giggling, Myra forgot all about her brother.

"This feast is starting to get boring." Draco complained. "Why don't we all go to the common room?" he asked the other three, although he was directing it towards Fauna. "It's empty up there and-"

"Welcome!" Professor Dumbledore's voice rang, quieting the whole hall. "I would like everyone's attention for a moment" he began his speech.

'God damn him, god damn that old git,' Draco thought angrily. 'There goes my fun for the night with Fauna'. He sank back into his seat.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts" Dumbledore went on. "I have a few things to say to you all, and one of them is very serious. I think it's best to get it out of the way before you become befuddled by our excellent feast. As you are all aware, after their search of the Hogwarts Express, our school is playing host to some of Azkaban's dementors."

"Is he still talking?" Draco drawled lazily, and looked around, as though very bored. The rest of the group fought back sniggers.

"…who are here on Ministry of Magic business." Dumbledore continued on about how important it was not to leave the school without permission.

As Dumbledore talked, the Slytherins, who were the only ones rude enough to not pay attention to him, engaged in their own quiet conversations.

"Are you excited to start-" Myra began, then uncontrollably started sniggering.

"What's wrong with you?" Fauna hissed at her.

"Turn around." Fauna turned to see Draco fidgeting horribly in his seat, pulling his robes over the front of his pants.

'What in the hell is he doing?' Fauna thought to herself, then looked down at Draco's pants. She instantly noticed the big bulge that he was trying to cover up with his robes. She looked at Myra, who said

"I know. I can see how much he likes the result of your Vanity Verum."

Fauna couldn't help herself. She exploded into hysterical laughter, causing Dumbledore and the whole hall to stare at her.

"Umm… sorry, Professor, I didn't mean to interrupt" she said, giving Draco a wide-eyed look. Dumbledore continued on, and Draco, having managed to control his 'hardness' whispered at Fauna

"Please tell me you didn't see that?" F

auna grinned at Draco. "How could I miss it? In fact, how could anyone at this table miss it?" she whispered into his ear, moving closer. "And I'm so…honored."

'She had better keep her mouth shut if she doesn't want to be 'honored' again,' Draco thought. 'What is it about this girl? Even her voice gives me wood.' He smiled sweetly at Fauna and leaned over to rub the inside of her thigh. "I'm glad you feel that way" he winked at her.

"Now, my next announcement." Dumbledore said, in an even louder voice. "We will be welcoming two new teachers to Hogwarts this year." Everyone looked at him in anticipation, wondering who the new teachers would be. "As our new defense against the dark arts teacher; I would like you all to welcome Professor Remus Lupin."

Loud cheers rang the hall, especially from the Gryffindor table. Only Draco had anything negative to say.

"I saw him earlier on the train, sleeping. Look at his robes. He dresses like a Weasley." he sneered.

"It looks like Snape doesn't like him" said Myra, who was still watching Snape out of the corner of her eye to see if he was still watching her. Snape was glaring at Lupin, and his feelings for the new teacher were very apparent.

"Yes, well, he didn't like Lockhart either." Fauna reminded her. "But that I can't blame him for. I can't tell you how glad I am that the cowardly git is finally gone" Draco laughed, overhearing the girls' conversation.

"You won't believe what the moron did!" Fauna exclaimed. "He flunked me and Myra because we didn't know enough about his 'courageous works' on the exam!"

"All of which he didn't even do." Myra commented.

"As to our second new appointment." Dumbledore continued when the Lupin applause died down. "I am sorry to tell you that Professor Kettleburn has retired at the end of last year."

"Yea, we knew that." Fauna called out. "We couldn't even finish our last few classes because he left. Lost an arm or something."

"Thank you for the information, Miss Avery." Dumbledore smiled. "However, I am delighted to announce that the Care of Magical Creatures position will be filled by Rubeus Hagrid, who has agreed to taking on the position along with his game keeping duties." The Slytherin table stared at Dumbledore, stunned.

"You're joking, Professor!" Draco cried out.

"No, Mr. Malfoy, I'm quite serious." Dumbledore laughed, as the other tables joined into huge applause.

"That oaf teaching us?" Draco said after a moment. "This is ridiculous; he's a servant."

"So, he's the one that assigned us a biting book. How lovely." Fauna laughed.

"Mine was alright, it tried to attack Spencer." Myra laughed back.

"I'm writing to father about this. He's Lucius Malfoy, very important name in the Ministry." Draco bragged, mostly to Fauna.

"Oh yes, Draco…your father is very important." Fauna taunted sarcastically, causing the whole table, especially Marcus to snigger into their plates.

"Well, let's eat." Draco changed the subject, and everyone dug into their food.

"…so I hope you all had an excellent first night at Hogwarts, and welcome again to the first years." Dumbledore interrupted the feast again in a few minutes. "I will ask all of you to follow your house prefects to your common room."

"Let's go!" Myra yanked Fauna out of her chair. Fauna was too much in a daze over Draco to move.

"Oh my god, My, can you believe Draco?!" she squealed excitedly.

"Yea" Myra snorted. "He's a horny bastard. What more is there to know?"

"Well, god only knows what you're going to do to Marcus when the two of you are alone" Fauna drawled at her friend. "I can just see him… 'JESUS CHRIST MYRA HELL YES'" she screamed at Myra.

"Will you shut up, you're embarrassing me" Myra hissed, her face turning bright red.

"Well, let's just hope Draco doesn't go telling his oh so precious father every little detail about you two."

"Don't even go there." Fauna laughed. "I could so see him doing that."

"Well, let's find out" Myra opened the door to their common room.

"Myra!" a cranky little voice yelled from behind them. It can't be, Myra thought, turning around. Sure enough…

"Spencer, what are you doing here?" she growled at her brother, dragging him down the hallway. "You're not supposed to come down this hall; it's reserved for the Slytherins."

"I just wanted to know if I could use Marcella to send a letter to mum." Myra sighed, highly annoyed.

"Just use a school owl for tonight, ok? And leave" she gave him a heavy shove and walked back up the hall to the common room, where Fauna was waiting at the door.

"I didn't want to go in without you" she smiled, and the two girls walked in together, not knowing what to expect.

They opened the door to see Draco, Marcus, Warrington, Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy, who was walking up the stairs to the girls dormitory.

"Hey girls" Marcus smiled. Fauna and Myra walked over to him.

"Crabbe, Goyle, can you, er, go get my owl from the owlery?" Draco ordered.

"But isn't your owl in your room-" Warrington started, but stopped when Draco jammed his elbow into his ribs.

"And you can help them, Warrington."

Warrington left and it was just the four of them.

'I cannot believe this,' Fauna thought, starting to shake with nerves and excitement, and looked at Myra, who was apparently thinking the same thing.

"Come sit" Draco ordered them in an amazingly sexy voice.

"Come sit." Marcus mimicked, with a stupid grin on his face, making his unusually large teeth look even bigger, although Myra took no notice, and rushed to sit down beside him.

Just as Fauna was about to sit down, the doors to the common room flew open.

Desdemona Fulke and Malloren Halifax, loudly arguing about something, stopped when they saw Myra cuddling up to Marcus and Fauna standing over Draco.

"Hello, Des." Myra smirked. She hated Desdemona in particular over Malloren, mainly because she constantly stalked Marcus.

"Are we interrupting something?" Desdemona smirked back, Malloren unable to say anything because she was frozen at the sight of Fauna and Draco.

"Actually" Fauna began. "Yes, you are interrupting something." she lowered herself onto Draco's lap. Everyone in the room stared, Draco with a huge smile on his face, and Myra thinking that this is the happiest moment of her life. Malloren and Desdemona just stood there.

"I think what Fauna meant is that you two should leave." said Draco, eager to get the girls out of there, wondering what 'surprises' Fauna had in store for him. Both of the girls, looking extremely jealous and angry stomped up the stairs to the girls dormitory.

"I hate to tell you this, Marcus." Desdemona turned around. "But you'll soon see that you're wasting your time on this…skank." she glared at Myra.

"You did not just say that." both Fauna and Myra got up.

"You're going to regret that" Fauna pulled out her wand and lunged towards both girls, but Marcus got up and grabbed her.

"Don't waste your time, they're not worth you getting in trouble." he whispered to her. "If I ever see you anywhere near Myra, I will make you regret what you just said for the rest of your life." Marcus gave Desdemona the nastiest look Fauna and Myra have ever seen. The girls quickly walked up the rest of the stairs and out of sight.

"You oughta watch that death stare, Marcus, you could kill someone." Myra laughed, but then she pouted again.

"Can you believe her calling me that?" she put her wand away and crossed her arms.

"Wow, I'm impressed you could come up with that...knowing how thickheaded you are." Fauna interrupted, giggling at Marcus, who lunged at her playfully.

"Ahhh!" Fauna squealed and fell onto Draco's lap.

"Owww!" Draco cried oout loudly in pain. Everyone look at him, or rather his pants.

"Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie." Fauna said sweetly. "Did I hurt your um-"

"Yes!" that's exactly where you landed, Draco moaned.

"Well, maybe if it wasn't sticking out." Myra mumbled, sending everyone into hysterics, leaving Draco red in the face.

"Awww, baby" Fauna rubbed his neck. "I'll make it feel better in no time, I promise."

'WOW,' Myra thought to herself. 'I think this girl had too much to drink tonight'. Her staring at Fauna and Draco, getting a little heavy with their snogging, or even more interesting, where Fauna's hand was, was interrupted by Marcus, who said

"But really, Myra, you're no skank" he took her hand in his.

"You sure?" she said playfully, giving him a half smile.

"Would you like me to prove it to you…" he asked, pulling her closer. Myra could feel her smile getting bigger as she leaned in towards him, a million different thoughts going through her head.

'I feel really funny doing this,' she thought. 'What if someone walks in; such as Professor Snape.' Just as she was about to tell Marcus this, another thought came into her head. 'Fauna doesn't seem to have a problem, judging by the very loud and weird noises that Draco is making. Oh, what the hell', she giggled to herself, and her lips met Marcus's.

Ten minutes later, a bang outside of the door interrupted all four of them.

"What was that?" Myra turned to ask Fauna, and she burst out laughing at the sight of Draco, fighting with his zipper, his hair going in every direction.

"It's not funny." Draco snapped at her. Just then, the doors opened, and about five little kids came in the room, led by Ethan Jabb, a prefect, who was a Slytherin version of Percy Weasley.

"Who are they?" Fauna asked Ethan.

"Oh, these are some of the first years." he said. "I seemed to have lost the rest of them." he shrugged and Fauna rolled her eyes.

"I'm Isabella Lagarto" a girl in the back cried.

"Er, that's great. Do we care?" Marcus spat at her, causing Fauna to pinch his leg.

"Ow!" he cried. "What was that for?"

"It's for being so mean to poor little first years." Fauna taunted, smiling. The first year boys and girls separated and went up to their dormitories.

"Well" Myra began. "I think we should head up to our dormitories" she looked at Fauna.

"Sure. We don't want to get caught doing anything, er wrong" she smiled at Draco, who was trying to get his hair flat.

"See you tomorrow at breakfast, Myra" Marcus leaned in and kissed her on the cheek.

"You too" Draco did the same to Fauna. The girls ran up the stairs until they were out of earshot from the guys.

"CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?" Myra screamed, grabbing Fauna and jumping up and down.

"Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod!" Fauna screamed back.

"Will you shut up!"

Whoops, Fauna and Myra looked at each other guiltily. They didn't realize that Malloren and Desdemona were still awake.

"Sorry" said Fauna with fake sympathy. "We were just so excited, we forgot we weren't alone."

"Yeah" Myra chimed in. "It's not every day a girl gets kissed by the captain of the house Quidditch team."

"Or the team's seeker." Fauna laughed, her voice alight with mischief and excitement.

"I don't believe you" whined Malloren, hatefully.

"I don't care what you believe, Malloren." Fauna said with a satisfied smile as she sat down on her four poster bed. Myra and Fauna exchanged happy smiles, still not able to believe what had just happened.

"Like Marcus would kiss you." Desdemona grumbled, half asleep, looking at Myra.

"Apparently, he seems to like the idea of kissing me, so I don't know why it bothers you so much." Myra taunted, in what would have been a sweet, sympathetic voice.

"Slutty little-" Desdemona began, when Fauna stopped her in the middle of her sentence.

"Don't even finish that sentence, or you'll never be able to say another word ever again." she glared at Desdemona, wand in her hand.

"And you can't forget that lovely look Marcus gave to you before in the common room." Myra perked.

"I hate you." Desdemona snorted, and rolled over in bed.

"But we just love you two." Fauna said in an extremely sarcastic voice.

Her and Myra went to their separate, and very far away from Desdemona and Malloren, part of the dormitory.

"Wow..." Fauna drawled. "I'm actually happy about going to sleep, although I don't see how I'll be able to." she laughed. "I can't wait to see what will happen tomorrow."

"And we have classes with Draco and Marcus." said Myra, excitedly. he girls rushed to get into bed and tried their hardest to fall asleep, a million different thoughts going through each of their heads.

'I don't even know what to think,' Fauna sighed softly to herself. 'Did I really just do that with Draco Malfoy?' She looked at her hands, picturing where they just were, and burst out laughing.

"What happened?" she startled Myra.

"Nothing, just...looking at my hands." she giggled.

"Something is so wrong with you." Myra laughed, and buried herself deeper into her covers.

'Yeah, I know something's wrong with me', Fauna thought, trying not to laugh. 'But he is really unbelievably gorgeous. I can just tell that tomorrow is going to be just as amazing as tonight, if not more'…she drifted to sleep.
