Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling, but Sade belongs to me!


A little before midnight, Sade came out of Snape's chambers, came across Draco, talked to him for a moment, and left.
'I wonder what he was doing out so late?' she thought. 'He did look really cute in those pajamas though.'
She quietly walked to the Gryffindor tower. After a while, she noticed Mrs. Norris was following her, but didn't pay much attention, till Filch came around the corner.
"What are you doing out of your dorm so late?"
"I was working in the dungeon with Professor Snape. I have a note from him to excuse me," she said coolly, handing Filch the note. She kneeled down to pet Mrs. Norris, who was at first skeptical of her, but then let Sade pet her. Filch noticed this.
"She normally doesn't take to people that easily." He handed back the note to Sade. "I sometimes wonder if you should have been a Slytherin and not a Gryffindor," he said, walking past her. Sade watched him walk away, thinking about what he'd said, shook her head, and continued her walk to the tower.
When she got to her room, she saw a rose and a scroll on her bed. She quickly changed into her pajamas, and went back over to her bed, and read the note.

Dear Sade,
You know me, and I know you, but I can't tell you who I am, not just yet, but I will tell you that I am a Slytherin. I know about you and Snape, but I'm not going to tell anyone. But I don't understand something. Why him? I mean, if you're going to pick a Slytherin, why couldn't it be a student? I know that you are a powerful witch, and I understand that you want to be with someone just as strong, but if you give me a chance, you might change your mind. I'll give you hints as to who I am, and when you do find out, you will understand why I'm doing this.

Leave your reply inside the suit of armor's right hand that is next to the painting of Sir Cadogan on the seventh floor by noon tomorrow.

Love,
The Slytherin

Sade read the letter over and over, while still holding the rose.
'Who could this be?' she thought. 'I'll talk to Hermonie about it in the morning.'

The next day was Saturday, so everyone slept in late. Sade woke up to Ebby poking her nose with his talon.
"Bug off you dumb pest," she yelled, swatting Ebby away.
"Hey, come on breakfast is about to start, and I'm hungry!" He then flew over to a dark corner and fell back asleep. Sade slowly dressed. She looked back at the letter on her nightstand. She got out a scroll and quill.

My dear Slytherin,
How did you find out about Severus and I? And what is the idea of thinking that I would choose you over him? Hearing this makes me want to find out who you are just to tell you off. How old are you for one? What year? What do you look like? Do I have any classes with you?

Leave a return letter at the same place by 8 o'clock tonight.

Sade

Hermonie was in the common room, waiting for Sade.
"It's about time you got up, sleepyhead. It's already 10 o'clock," she said when Sade walked into the common room.
"It is, oh great. Listen, I've got something I need to do before I go to the Great Hall, so I'll meet you there in a little while, ok?"
"Um, ok."
Hermonie gave her a weak smile as she ran out the door. Sade ran all the way up to the seventh floor, and was out of breath by the time she got there. The main reason for her running was she was still angry about the boy, whomever he was, finding out about her and Snape, then saying that he would be better than him. She got to Sir Cadogan's picture, and put the scroll into the right hand, and headed for the Great Hall. Many of the students were already outside because it was the last days of warm weather since it was mid October. Harry and Ron were playing Wizard's Chess, while Hermonie sat closely next to Ron, eating and watching the two play. Harry had told her about Hermonie's infatuation with house-elves the previous year in trying to get them to want to be paid, but had finally given up when the elves actually yelled at her. Sade came over, and picked up whatever food was left, which was strangely still hot, and ate silently, sitting next to Harry. She looked up when the Hall door opened. Crabbe and Goyle walked in, Draco slowly following. He looked at her and smiled. Sade in return blew him a kiss. She looked back at Hermonie, and saw that she was gawking at her.
"What?"
"Oh, like I didn't see that."
Sade laughed. "Well, I came across him last night in his pajamas and I couldn't help flirting with him."
Ron and Harry by then had came into the conversation.
"That's just sick, you know that. First Snape, now Malfoy. I'm starting to wonder if you should've been a Slytherin," Ron said, as Harry took one of Ron's players.
She looked at him is shock, but gained her composure quickly. "Shut up, Ron," she muttered.
"Well, I hope for your sake that "He" doesn't find out," Hermonie whispered, but Harry heard.
"Who's "He"?"
"None of your business," Sade shot at him, causing him to be taken aback. "Want to come with me to the library, Herm?"
"Ok, later guys."
They got up from the table, and walked out the room, with both Ron and Harry still in shock. Sade sent Malfoy a quick look, and closed the door. She never noticed that Snape had come in the room, and had heard every word she had said.
