A/N: Whoo hoo Shayna Riddle is back. I wanted to write more after I finished book 5, but all those plot ideas I had 3 years ago when I finished the first installment of Shayna Riddle have been long forgotten. Thank God for weird ass dreams that gave me wonderful ideas ... they just need a little tweeking
While we're all waiting on that I thought we'd go back in time to a short story I wrote about a year ago, it's about how Shayna and the twins ever ended up being friends, and it has a message that's pretty damn ironic after listening to the sorting hat's song in back 5. ok Shayna, STOP TALKING and get to the fic right?

Gryfindor vs. Slytherin Part 1
A scrawny first year came tearing around the fifth floor corridor, her frizzy black hair and robes blowing behind her. Shayna had only been at Hogwarts for 3 weeks and she had already developed a great talent for being late to Transfigurations class.
Shayna started up a stair case, three at a time when the flight decided to move sharply forwards, sending Shayna's tiny frame head over heels to the landing below. The last book fell from her bag to the floor, just as the bell rang. "Dung beetles!" she whispered to herself "Now I get to listen to another McGonagall lecture, Miss Riddle, if you don't start taking your educations seriously I'll have to take discipline more seriously ... what is that supposed to mean anyways?"
"It means" replied the snake coiled around her neck "That getting to Transfigurations on time is more important then standing around with your friends ... and that she's going to put you in detention if you-"
"Oh shut up Salazar" Shayna sighed as she reloaded her book bag. She swung it over her shoulders and began again to climb the stairs. This time she managed to get to the top, and just before she rounded the corner a voice stopped her. Someone was talking to themself.
"This is gonna be great!"
"I know, Snape'll never see it coming."
"You've gotta be sure to keep him out in the hall long enough."
"No prob bro, just make sure you get the incantation right this time."
Shayna wasn't sure which part of what she heard to be most confused about, but the fact of the matter was this plot was against Severus, and that needed to be stopped. She puffed herself up a bit and stepped around the corner. The guy was was talking to himself gasped, but so did Shayna as she saw that it was not one voice but two identical voices with faces to match.
The twins quickly regained their cool, "shouldn't you be in class firsty?"
"Shouldn't you be in class Gryffie?" she snapped back
"Ooo, she's feisty" one of them laughed
"We were asked to leave our class" the other just smiled
"Wow" Shayna said forgetting for a moment that they had been plotting against Severus. "in only five minutes, that's pretty impressive."
"We're good" the one on the left said looking quite pleased with himself "In a totally different league then say, a nosey first year on the tardy list?"
Shayna folded her arms, glaring at the twins. These boys were asking for it in her opinion. "What are you gonna do to Severus?" she demaned
"who?" the boys echoed each other
"Professor Snape!" Shayna snarled "I heard you talking, what are you going to do to him?!"
"Wanting to snitch on us?" one asked "Little slyth you got no idea who you're messing with." It only occurred to her at that moment that the two of them had reached for their wands. If that was how they intended to play, she wasn't about to deny them. She whipped out her own wand.
"Gooloosock!" her voice echoed down the hall. Her wand, aimed at the ceiling, emitted a spray of some purple gooey substance that covered the ceiling as the excess fell back on her. When she was finished the corridor smelled of gumballs and laundry soap, and she was soaking wet.
There was a momentary pause in which the only sound was the goop dripping from the ceiling. "Well ..." one of the twins said trying to hold in his laughter "you sure showed us!" The two of them exploded into laughter, the one of the right leaning on his brother for support. But they slowed a bit when they saw that Shayna was smirking.
"I'm only half way done" she explained
"Oh what next?" the other scoffed "blue goo?"
Shayna waited for the boys laughter to die down a bit, fixing them with her cold blue eyes. They began to ready their wands, still sniggering. Suddenly Shayna let out a scream to alert the deaf, causing the boys to step back and every class room door down the corridor to slam open. McGonagall, Flitwick, and Filtch, along with an array of students were all suddenly peering at the three of them.
After a moment of jaw dropped silence the students began to laugh.
"Man they got her good"
"Oh, that's so gross"
"Nice one boys"
Filtch started at Shayna and the twins, eyes bulging. His breath was coming in odd spasms making it very difficult to understand what he was screaming. "Urg ... you three- look at this ... ach- kill you ... purple- AH!"
Professor McGonagall swept forward which Shayna was grateful for, cause Filtch's hands had been dangerously close to her neck. She surveyed the scene as it glistened through the translucent goo. "Miss Riddle, I was wondering why you weren't in case at your normal late mark." Shayna hung her head to hide the fact that she was giggling "Do try to get to class on time at least once this year." Her eyes moved to the twins "And you two have detention."
"Wha?"
"Why?!"
Shayna was holding her breath now to keep the laughter in. It wasn't helping much though. She chanced a look at the twins faces and thought she was bound to explode.
"Professor it was her!"
McGonagall glanced back at Shayna, who quickly looked as helpless and distraught as possible. "I see" McGonagall said curtly "This would explain why she is covered in goo while your robes are clean. Honestly boys it's not even a good lie."
"SHE DID THAT ON PURPOSE!!!"
"Fred!" McGonagall yelled grabbing his wrist
"George!"
"WHATEVER! It's obvious what happened here. The two of you will help Mr. Flitch clean this up and then report to the Great Hall Friday night for detention!"
Fred and George were still making noises of protest as she turned, a little softer, to Shayna "You may go shower and change robes. Be sure to get today's notes from someone else. I expect your homework on time."
"Thank you Professor" Shayna called in a sweet voice She started back down the stairs to the dungeon common room.
"That was hardly called for" Salazar hissed
"You know, you take the fun out of stuff like this all the time. They had it coming"
"Yes" he said thoughtfully "but when you're small, you learn never to pick on people bigger then you."
She shrugged off Salazar's warning, he was always uptight like that. She was having a very good day. She'd not only gotten out of her tardy, but class entirely. Plus she got those snot nosed twins into detention. She smiled to herself as she gave the password to the common room gardian, Gryffindors all had an ego problem.
