A/N: Okay, here's the next chapter. I might not be able to update for two days seeing as today is New Years. Happy Holidays everyone!

Teresa groaned as she saw Taylor walking over to her. Teresa had left Slytherin early so no one knew she was there. There weren't many people in the Great Hall, as it was early on a Saturday. Blaise was still getting out of bed, as were Ginny and Draco.

The tall, pretty, brunette sat down across from Teresa. She stared at her rival. Getting annoyed, Teresa slammed down her glass of pumpkin juice.

"What the hell do you want?"

"Temper, temper, Teresa."

"Shut up, Taylor."

"Now Teresa, is that any way to treat a guest?"

"No, but it's the perfect way to treat a boyfriend stealing-slut."

Taylor narrowed her eyes. "I told you, I always win."

"You can have Damion."

"So I take it there is someone knew. Who is he?"

"None of your damn business."

Teresa felt anger rising in her. She would not let Taylor take Blaise from her. Taylor smirked and lowered her voice as she saw Damion enter.

"You know I'll find out Teresa. I always do. And when I know who he is, he'll be mine too."

Damion came walking up behind Taylor. He kissed her firmly on the lips and sat down next to her. He too was in Virote.

"Good morning, hun. Teresa."

"Damion."

Damion slipped his arm around Taylor's shoulder and lightly kissed her cheek. Teresa rolled her eyes, disgusted. She sighed with relief when Blaise entered. Motioning him over to her, she smirked at Taylor.

Blaise glided in next to Teresa and lightly kissed her. He had heard all about Taylor and Damion, along with the rest of Teresa's friends, that morning. Blaise slipped his arm around Teresa's waist as she moved closer to him.

"Teresa, wanna go to Hogsmeade today?"

"No, I'd rather stick around here. Maybe get to work on Snape's essay."

Blaise smirked. Whenever Teresa said 'get to work on Snape's essay', she always meant 'make out in the library or Slytherin common room'.

"You know how much I love potions."

Teresa smiled at him seductively. Taylor cleared her throat. Teresa pretended not to notice. Taylor cleared her throat again and introduced herself to Blaise.

"Hello, I'm Taylor."

"I'm Blaise, Teresa's boyfriend."

Taylor shot Teresa a look that said 'let the games begin'. Teresa glared evilly at Taylor and introduced Blaise to Damion.

"Blaise, this is Damion. He's my ex and Taylor's boy."

Blaise gave him a slight nod and turned his attention back to Teresa. He was about to talk to her when Ron came up beside him.

"Go back to your own table, Zabini."

"Shove it Weasley."

"I'd watch my mouth if I were you."

"No one was talking to you, Potter."

Hermoine walked up and looped her arm with Harry's. She glared at Blaise, but turned her attention to Ron and Harry.

"Come on, let's eat."

Harry and Ron stood there. They weren't leaving. Teresa motioned for Blaise to leave. He nodded and stood up. Harry and Ron left to sit with Hermoine, satisfied. Before Blaise could move, Teresa grabbed his arm. He was wearing a pair of baggy jeans and an Enyce sweater.

"Meet me in the library after you finish breakfast."

Blaise nodded and pulled Teresa in for a hasty, yet loving kiss. He smiled at her and went to join his fellow Slytherins. Teresa was smiling as she sat back down, but the smile quickly faded when she saw Taylor and Damion. Damion stared at Teresa.

"Why are you going out with that loser?"

"I could ask you the same thing."

Taylor opened her mouth in protest, but Damion silenced her with his hand. "You're doing this to get back at me, aren't you?"

"No Damion, but I know that's why you're dating Taylor."

"That's not true, Teresa. I just found that she suited me better than you."

"Bull shit."

"Teresa, you don't need to be bitter."

Teresa snorted as Ginny joined her at their table. Teresa turned to her friend and saw that her face was a glow. Teresa looked questioningly at her friend, but she mouth later.

"I'm not bitter. I couldn't care less whom you date Damion. I just didn't think you would sink as low as to dating Taylor."

Damion's eyes flared with anger. "I can't believe I sunk as low as dating you."

Taylor laughed as Teresa stood up. She looked as if she were going to hex the two. Ginny quickly stood and grabbed her arm.

"Teresa, I need to talk to you."

Teresa nodded and with one last glare at Damion and a laughing Taylor, she followed Ginny out of the Great Hall and to a picture of fruit.

"Ginny, what are we doing here?"

"I'm hungry and I need a private place to talk. Not many people know about this."

"Know about what?"

"This is the entrance to the kitchen."

Nodding, Teresa watched as Ginny tickled the pear and the picture swung open. The two Gryffindors walked in and saw house-elves running around. One house-elf walked excitedly up to Ginny and bowed.

"Miss Ginny, Dobby has missed seeing you, Miss. Why has not Missus visited Dobby?"

"I'm sorry Dobby, I've been busy. Dobby, this is my friend, Teresa Anastasio."

Dobby bowed to Teresa. "Nice to meet you Missus."

"Likewise."

"What can Dobby get for the two Missus?"

"I'd like some fried eggs and bacon. And a glass of pumpkin juice."

Dobby nodded and looked at Teresa. "Nothing for me."

Nodding, Dobby headed off as Teresa and Ginny sat at one of the tables. Teresa looked curiously at Ginny. Ginny waited until her food arrived to begin speaking.

"Is there something I should know about you and Damion?"

Teresa sighed. She knew that there was no harm in telling Ginny. "Before I left, Damion said that he loved me. When he asked me if I loved him, I said no. He was really pissed and we got in a huge fight. We didn't talk for a week and then school was over. I didn't have a chance to straighten things out with him before I had to move here."

"Oh, so that's why he's really mad at you."

"Yep, but I have a feeling that's not all you wanted to talk to me about."

Teresa leaned back in the chair as Ginny blushed. After taking a few bites of her eggs and bacon, Ginny looked up at Teresa.

"Draco and I made love last night."

"You had sex?"

"Yes."

"And?"

"And what?"

"Did you like it?"

"Of course. It was wonderful! I've never felt more passion and love at one time in my life."

Teresa smiled warmly at her friend. "So, I take it you're in love with him?"

"Head over heels, Teresa. The best part is, he confessed his love for me last night and I did the same. Teresa, do you think we're too young?"

"In most cases I'd say that you were too young to know if you're in love, but I know both you and Draco are very mature. It's hard to say, but honestly, I think you were ready. I know you love him and I can tell he loves you."

"Really?"

"Really. I'm happy for you Ginny."

"Thanks Teresa. Have you and Blaise done it?"

"No and I don't know when we will."

"Do you think you love him?"

"I don't know Ginny. I've never felt this way about anyone, but I don't know if it's love, seeing as I've never loved anyone romantically."

"When you're in love, you'll know."

"Oh? Since when did you become Dr. Love?"

"Since last night."

The two girls laughed as Ginny finished her bacon and eggs. Teresa headed off to the library. She made a note to remember the way to the kitchen in case she ever got hungry. When she got to the library, Teresa immediately went to her and Blaise's spot. She smirked when she saw him waiting there for her. Teresa sat down beside him and snuggled up against his chest.

"You ready to study potions?"

"You know it." Teresa smiled seductively at Blaise as he leaned down and their lips met.

Blaise's hands snaked around to Teresa's waist as she climbed gently on to his lap. Her hands lightly massaged his neck. They briefly parted and Teresa smirked at Blaise, who smirked back.

"Potions has become one of my favorite classes."

"Mine too." Blaise kissed his girlfriend again.

The kiss deepened and Blaise crushed Teresa's slim figure against his muscular one. Gently sliding his tongue in her mouth, he deepened the kiss. All of a sudden, they heard a man clear his throat. They looked up to find Taylor and Damion staring at them with obvious disgust.

"Teresa, we need to talk."

"No, Damion, we don't. There is nothing left to say. I suggest you leave."

"Teresa, I insist we talk."

"What don't you understand about no?"

"Teresa!" Teresa got off Blaise's lap and glared at Damion. His hard look softened. "Please?"

Teresa sighed and glanced at Blaise. He nodded and Teresa returned her gaze to Damion.

"Make it fast."

She and Damion headed out into the hall. Taylor sat down beside Blaise. She noticed for the first time how good looking he was. His hair was one and a half inches long now. Taylor smiled at him.

"So, why are you going out with Teresa? You seem to be a guy with class, why settle for her?"

Blaise knew that she was trying to seduce him, so he played along. "You mean when I could have a girl like you?"

"Exactly." Taylor edged closer to him. He let his hand remove a fallen piece of hair from her face.

"Too bad I found her first."

Teresa leaned forward and rested a hand on Blaise's upper thigh. Blaise let his arm slip loosely around her waist. The two leaned in toward each other. Neither noticed Ginny and Draco standing by. Both were angry with Blaise at the moment, but said nothing.

"Why do you say that?" Taylor licked her lips seductively.

Blaise brought her closer so that she was a mere inch away. Taylor could hear the huskiness in his voice as he replied.

"Because she refined my taste. Before I met her, I actually might have gone for a slut like you. But the best girl always wins. And that, Taylor, definitely isn't you."

Taylor jerked back in surprise and Ginny and Draco laughed. Blaise saw his friends, winked at them, and backed away from Taylor. Taylor was enraged. The three friends headed out of the library. Taylor soon followed.

Meanwhile, Damion and Teresa had been talking. Damion had kept quiet for a minute before asking the inevitable.

"Why Teresa? Why don't you love me? I gave you my heart and you threw it away as if it were trash."

"Damion, I can't help not loving you. It's not something you choose. And I did not throw your heart away like trash. Damion, you and I both know what happened. I saw you with Taylor that day. I saw her kiss you."

"Teresa, that was a mistake. I was upset that you rejected my love. Taylor, she was just there."

"Well it's too late now Damion. What we had, it's gone. Blaise is my boyfriend now, not you."

Suddenly, Damion pushed her against the nearest wall. Neither knew that Mikel, Tyrell, Alicia, and Stephanie were watching. Teresa gasped in surprise. She tried to push him away, but he grabbed her hands.

Ginny, Draco, Blaise, and Taylor appeared out of the library, but Teresa was too surprised to notice. Damion leaned forward, breathing lightly on her face.

"Does he make you feel like I do? Does he send chills up and down your spine?"

Teresa closed her eyes and thought of Blaise and how he made her feel. She smiled inwardly and reopened her eyes. Glaring at Damion, she replied.

"No Damion, Blaise doesn't make me feel like you did. He makes me feel better."

With that, Teresa kicked Damion's shin and wriggled out of his grasp. As she did this, she pushed his head into the wall, not too hard, but hard enough. Teresa heard him groan in pain.

Taylor stepped forward, her eyes ablaze. She and Teresa circled each other. Teresa finally stopped, her hand resting on her wand. Taylor spoke venomously.

"You have to have everything, don't you? You're a self-righteous asshole!"

A small crowd was coming around, watching the two girls. The Dream Team was among the crowd. Lavender and Parvati were also there, quietly making bets.

"Shut the hell up, bitch."

Teresa looked as if she wanted to kill Taylor. All the years of pent up anger and hatred were finally being released.

"You lost Damion to me and now you want to take him back! You have Blaise don't you. Well, then again, you won't even have him for long."

Teresa saw Alicia move out of the corner of her eye, but she shook her head. Teresa smirked.

"It always tweaked you that I was the best. Well you know what, kiss my ass!"

"Hell no, you've got too many people doing that already."

"You've got no right to talk. All those people who want to get laid always come crawling to you! I'd like to know, how much do you charge an hour?"

"Why, you want some of this?"

"I don't think even Voldemort himself would want some of that." Teresa heard gasps from the crowd, probably those who were afraid of his name.

"You are so egotistical. I saw you all those times you snuck into Mikel and Tyrell's rooms. I kept quiet about it, but I knew you were no better than me, whore."

Teresa's eyes blazed with anger and she had to yell at Ginny, Blaise, Draco, Alicia, Tyrell, and Mikel not to kick Taylor's ass. She wanted to do that herself.

"I'm not the whore, slut. Its not my fault guys are attracted to me for more than being a doorknob."

Taylor looked at Teresa, puzzled. "You don't know what that is dumbass? I'll tell you. It's where everybody gets a turn. I guess you're not to picky, are you?"

"I wouldn't talk if I were you. You must not be picky in choosing your masters. Everyone knows you're a Death Eater. And that's how you're fucking parents died too, at their master's hand. How pathetic, but then again, what else would expect from your family."

Teresa's eyes blazed with fire, her iris had almost turned completely red. Alicia, Tyrell, and Mikel looked as if they were going to kill Taylor. Stephanie would have let them, and even helped, if she hadn't known that Teresa wanted to the honors.

Ginny, Draco, and Blaise were furious. Draco, knowing that she wasn't a Death Eater, was being held back, very loosely, by Blaise and Ginny.

"Never insult my family, you mother fucking bitch!"

With that, Teresa lunged at Taylor. Teresa punched her in the eye and Taylor scratched at Teresa's arm. No one had ever seen Teresa fight, and now they knew why. Everyone could tell that when Teresa fought, she had no mercy. Only Draco and Alicia (who was the only other person that Teresa had told that she was a Veela) knew that Teresa couldn't help it. The Veela took over when she was enraged and fighting.

Teresa continued punching Taylor, who wasn't a bad fighter. Taylor wrapped her leg around Teresa's calves and pushed. Teresa fell back, hard, but she didn't pause. Jumping up, she kicked Taylor in the stomach and then again in the jaw. The two girls continued fighting, but finally Teresa knocked Taylor down. She was about to kick her again, but Draco and Alicia jumped in, knowing she wouldn't be able to stop.

Alicia and Draco held her back until her eyes regain their normal color. After she realized what had happened, she slowly backed up. People looked on in shock. Teresa had a black eye and a few scratches and bruises on her, along with some blood gushing from an open gash and Stephanie was worried she had gotten a concussion. But Taylor was bleeding and holding her stomach.

It looked like she couldn't talk, like her jaw had become stuck. A few tears fell from Taylor's, but Teresa's eyes didn't even look watery. No one was surprised as Teresa rarely ever cried. Teresa muttered a few healing incantations that her mother had taught her. Stephanie glanced at Teresa, who nodded, and then walked over to Taylor.

Stephanie's mother was a witch nurse and her father was a Muggle doctor. Stephanie inspected Taylor, who didn't complain.

"She has lockjaw and a bruised rib, nothing I can't fix." Stephanie muttered a few incantations and Taylor's jaw was fixed and her rib no longer hurt.

She quickly fixed her cuts and Taylor got up. She stalked over to Teresa, but fear was obvious in her eyes. Alicia glared at Taylor.

"This isn't over."

"Do you really want more? I would glad to take my turn at beating the shit out of you."

Teresa grabbed Alicia's arm. "Alicia, don't bother. She knows what'll happen if she insults my family again."

Teresa stepped forward and continued. "Let this be a warning to you Taylor. Mess with my family, and next time, they won't be here to hold me back."

With that, Teresa, Alicia, Ginny, Draco, Blaise, Tyrell, Mikel, and Stephanie left. Leaving a scared Taylor and a pissed off Damion. The three walked to the Quidditch pitch and sat on the grass.

After a few hours of talking, Alicia and the others left, leaving Ginny, Draco, and Blaise with Teresa. Blaise grabbed Teresa and brought her into his arms. He lightly kissed her.

"I never knew you could fight so well."

"You never asked."

Teresa glanced wearily at Draco; he knew what she was thinking. If she hadn't of taken that potion last night, she and Draco both snuck down to Snape's dungeon again, then she would have been unstoppable. Even in the fight, the Veela had not fully taken control, but she had kicked ass.

Teresa shuddered inwardly when she thought of what might have happened if Draco and Alicia had not known what she was and stopped her. The others began laughing at something and Teresa closed her eyes.

She had only fought one other time and she hated remembering it. If Alicia had not been there that time, Teresa knew she would have killed the man. As left over anger rose inside of her, Teresa couldn't really say that it would have bothered her, killing the man. In her eyes, or maybe it was the eyes of the Veela, he deserved it.

As the others headed back into the Great Hall, Ginny looked at Teresa suspiciously. She could tell her friend was off in another world. Teresa offered her friend one of her famous smirks. Ginny decided to talk to her later.

Teresa sighed, this was one secret only Alicia knew. Not even her family knew about this. And Teresa planned on keeping it that way for as long as possible.
