Forward Note

At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the rivalry of the Slytherin and Gryffindor houses were not at large between a set of students. These students included to Vampire twins, Asuka, and Lucia, also known as Bunny, who were both 5th year Slytherin at the time, as well as Ron Weasley, a 4th year Gryffindor and his brother Fred Weasley, a 6th year Gryffindor. There was a boy named Kino, who was a 6th year as well, but from Slytherin, and lastly, Tabitha Black, Kino's sister, a 4th year Slytherin student.

The year before, Draco Malfoy had deserted Hogwarts after his 3rd year. He and his mother had gotten news in the Manor over the summer that Lucius, his father, had died in Azkaban. That's not why he left. That would be a cause for a celebration to him, but never to leave Hogwarts. He had something too important to leave behind, but he did.

In this story, you will witness the adventure of six students, and one ex-student.

Chapter One

Tabby walked into the Great hall at about five o'clock, following a group of students and teachers, to see it filled with browns, and golds, and reds. Leaves were scattered on the floor and tables at the moment, and beautiful candles in brown, gold, and red glass holders floated around near the ceiling. Cornucopias (were placed evenly apart on each of the tables, filled with different breads, fruits, veggies, and figurines. Some of different Quiditch players, and each with a figurine of the house's Head Of House. Sitting at her table, she gazed around the room excitedly. The Fall Feast was starting. Even though she lived normally in America, and celebrated Thanks giving, not many others did, living in England, and other Parts of Europe, including her father. So she took the Fall Feast as a type of "Thanks Giving" for herself. There was one other girl the year before that was from America, but she was a 7th year then, and had since then left Hogwarts. Tabitha was really looking forward to this. She was also looking forward to the Fall Dance. She had a dress already. It was dark red, with gold and brown "leaves" made form fabric along the collar, and one of each at the end of the dress in the center. She couldn't wait. But she was startled suddenly though by the sound of a door opening, and the candles all suddenly going out....

After Tabby entered the Great Hall, Fred followed, but he was a ghost and couldn't eat anything. Then Ron Weasley entered. When he entered he sat next to Fred and then winked at him. Fred understood. Once everyone was in the Great Hall, Fred took out his wand and said to Ron, "5......4......3......2.....1....." All of a sudden there was a loud bang and all the cornucopias blasted all over the place. They were filled on the inside with fire crackers. Fred slowly crept out of the entrance hall since he knew the teachers knew he was responsible and would be looking for him.

With his little joke, he had been the one to accidentally make the candles go out. The older students gasped and the younger ones screamed.

"Lumos" spoke Tabby. She walked to a young first year Slytherin girl who was really scared.

"Its alright. Its just Fred being ignorant again." she said with a smile.

She saw Fred out of the corner of her eye trying to sneak out of the Great Hall. As the teachers re-lit the candles, and searched for Fred, Tabby silently followed him out. Once they were both out, she put out her hand, and tapped the grinning Fred on the shoulder.

"Where do you think you're going?" she said with a little giggle.

"Oh.. Uh.. the common room, yeah.. I'm going to the common room. " he said with a not-so-innocent grin.

"Right.." she said disbelievingly.

"That was a good one Fred. But next time, don't scare the 1st years." she laughed.

He grinned. "oops"

::::::::::::::::Back in the Great Hall:::::::::::::::::

Ron was leaning against the wall laughing so hard, Kino thought he'd blow.

"That had to be the best one yet!!" cried Ron.

Kino laughed "I bet so."

Suddenly, Dumbledore came up behind Ron as the last candle was lit.

"Well, Ron. That certainly was a good one you and Fred pulled. Just please, if you two continue with you jokes, don't cause it to blow up in Snape's face. He's on a bit of a rampage after you two." said Dumbledore with a grin, before leaving the great hall.

As he left the hall, he saw Fred and Tabby.

"Well Fred. As I told your brother, I'd watch out." he spoke sternly, yet kindly as always.

"Why?" said Fred and Tabby together.

"Because, one of your little firecrackers caused a, cornucopia, to explode in Snape's face." he said with a grin, looking amused.

Fred and Tabby looked at each other, both looking amused themselves.

"Oh well. Let him try to catch me." said Fred to Tabby as Dumbledore left.

Just then, Snape came barging out of the Great Hall, followed by Ron and Kino.

"Better move." said Fred quickly, as he and Tabby took off down the hall, Snape right behind them, Kino and Ron laughing their heads off.

Snape was gaining. He turned back and muttered something beneath my breath. Smoke rose in front of Snape. Fred quickly walked into a wall on purpose and the wall began to move into an opening. He went through not knowing Tabby was following. The wall closed a few seconds after Fred was inside and he could hear Snape giving anyone he saw a detention. Fred then followed a few more passages into Snape's office where he set up more pranks. He then took another passage to the seventh floor where he went to the room which was filled with portraits of every area in Hogwarts. Fred stood near the one showing Snape's office and waited.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Kino and Ron ran through a slim corridor and came to a dead end.
"CRAP!" cried Ron glumly.

Kino was a step in front of Ron; he turned around and started floating down the hallway to his detention.
Ron, enraged ran up to the dead end, and was about to kick it, but he fell through a trap door.
Kino turned around and followed, because he was a ghost, he couldn't put any weight on!
Kino hid down in the trap also, and closed the door shut.
Kino And Ron were gasping for breath, exited, when Ron broke off, he was staring through Kino, to see to yellow eyes about a foot behind Kino.....

Tabby had seen Fred go through the opening in the wall, but was too late to get through. She knew Fred must have not known she followed. She slammed a fist on the wall. "Shoot!" she said under her breath. Snape came whipping around the corner.

"That's a weeks worth of Detention for you Miss Black!!" he yelled. She smiled.

"I don't think so!" she yelled, and took off again in a different direction. The out of breath Snape took a minute to get a good start at running instead of walking. Tabby headed to Snape's room. Knowing that Fred probably did something in there, she was very careful. She had seen a lot of his little jokes and traps before, and knew what to look for. She looked around, and at one point, without knowing it looked right at Fred. Before she left, she said out loud with a laugh, not knowing Fred heard her,

"He'll have both of our heads for this one..." she knew this would be good. She left, and hid in the entrance of the girl's bathroom just across the hall.

She saw the panting Snape walk down the corridor and go to open the door to his room,

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Down below, trapped in the room, Ron and Kino sat against the wall, looking at the bright eyes, thinking "Not again". "You know, you could be very helpful to me and go get help Kino, since you can do the whole go through wall thing." said Ron sarcastically.

"Why though? I'd rather stay down here and watch you sweat in fear of whatever it is over there staring at you and through me" laughed Kino.

Ron gave him an exasperated look. Kino sighed and said

"Alright, alright. I'll go. "And then he disappeared through the wall, leaving Ron behind. Now that Kino was gone, Ron wasn't so sure about this....

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

A new kid was in a side corridor, heading to the school grounds when Kino ran up to him. He told the boy what was happening and they ran back to the secret passage but it was empty. Ron was gone. The small door they had seen was gone also. Fred decided to go to the common room to see if Ron was there, while Kino checked the great hall. Fred saw Ron in the common room polishing a broom he had just bought. He went up to the dorms and got his own broom. They both walked downstairs, acting like zombies when they passed Tabby. They weren't talking or anything. Tabby looked at them confused. :I thought Ron was trapped somewhere!

Tabby knew something wasn't right. Suddenly, this kid she didn't know shows up, and Ron is out of the trap. Something just wasn't right. Tabby went down into the trapped room she had heard Ron and Kino had been in. She looked around, but didn't see the eyes, but did here the sound of a very familiar snake slithering away. :Not him again.: she thought, remembering Halloween, when Draco attacked them all, using his giant snake to keep watch over them. Suddenly, she saw someone lying unconscious on the floor in the corner... It was Ron. She dragged Ron out of there, and sat him in a corridor. She ran back to the other side of the school, and went into the "secret room" Fred used to watch everyone. She had followed him there once under an invisibility cloak she had borrowed. When she got there, she found again, someone on the floor, knock out. Of course, it was Fred. Once again, she left again, and ran through the school, trying to find Kino...

The first place Tabby looked for Kino was the entrance hall, but nobody was there except teachers. Then she decided to look somewhere close to the headmaster's office. So she ran up the stairs from the dungeon, and looked ahead of her. There she saw a silvery body floating on its back staring up into space...it was Kino. Tabby ran to him and saw there was no movement at all in his body. He was fully unconscious. Tabby stared wide eyes at her brother. But she swore that she saw a ghostly figure that looked like Kino walk down the corridor just down the hall just after finding him this way.

"Oh no…" she said. She heard the swish of a cloak, and turned quickly, her wand out.

"Who's there!!" she yelled

All she heard was a snicker coming from every direction. Her eyes narrowed. She knew that laugh anywhere... Malfoy was back.

Tabby turned and saw Malfoy standing there along with the imposter Kino, Fred and Ron. "Where is the snake amulet?!?" he yelled at Tabby. Tabby had no clue what he was talking about. Malfoy took out his wand and pointed it at Tabby and yelled, "GIVE ME THE SNAKE AMLET NOW!" Tabby's wand went flying from her grasp. It landed in front of Malfoy.

Tabby thought for a moment… She had now idea what they were talking about. Suddenly, it hit her…

:Fred, Fred picked something up in the chamber... it was in the snake skin..: she thought to herself.

"Accio Snake Amulet!!!" she screamed as loud as she could, probably waking all that stayed for the winter holidays, which was only her, her friends, and about 20 students and teachers. The trunk in Fred's room flew open, and the amulet sped forward. The portrait hole opened, and the amulet zipped through the school, and into Tabby's hands.

Malfoy looked at her with a look that was a mix of anger and confusion.

"Give me that!" he yelled.

"What, this??" she said smartly.

She took off her own amulet, twisted the chains of the two amulets together, and put it on.

"Try and get it." she snickered, as she started running off. Malfoy yelled in rage.

"I'm in no mood to chase you Black!! We'll finish this another time!!" he screamed.

"Stupefy!!" he yelled, knocking her back to the stairwell. She tumbled down the stair well, and almost tumbling over Professor Snape.

"Whats going on here!" yelled Snape, as he helped her up. But she fell back down, her leg in pain.

"Nothing, professor, a tripped… that's all." she lied.

"Well, we better get you to the Hospital Wing you clumsy girl." he said, helping her along.

Just then, Kino's real self fell to the ground, and he jumped up as if he had only fallen out of bed.

"That's a doozy" he said, rubbing his head. He then saw Snape helping Tabby, so he ran to them, and asked what happened. She just said Nothing. Ron and Fred both came walking down the corridor from different ways. They too acted like nothing had happened. They caught up with Kino who said Tabby was in the Hospital wing. When they came to see her, they asked what had happened.

"This is too confusing…" thought tabby.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Christmas came and went. Almost too fast. The feast was the best in years. They all went to Hogsmeade together, going separate ways in the town at times, buying each other gifts and everything. New Years was just around the corner now...
