The teachers all managed to collect themselves, and Dumbledore said " Congratulations Miss Serpentina, now everyone enjoy the feast!". As usual, a huge delicious looking feast appeared on the tables and everyone started to eat.

"I wonder," said Draco to Ophelia, " Why old McGonnagal was going to put you in with the Gyrffindorks. I mean, look at you." Ophelia turned around and glared at Draco. "And what is THAT supposed to mean?" she said, " Is there something wrong with me?"

"Well" said Draco arrogantly " I would think it's obvious. Our house colours are green and silver. Our symbol is a serpent. Your eyes are green, your hair is silver, and your last name is Serpentina." " Oh" said Ophelia, dropping the angry look " I understand."

" I can't believe McGonnagal didn't realize it," said Draco with a smirk " I mean, there are only two ways you'd be more suited to Slytherin. Number one is you'd have to be me since I AM the greatest Slytherin here and two is if you could Speak Parsletounge like Saint Potter." Ophelia rolled her eyes. " Well o arrogant one, we'll see about the first one, and for your information I can speak Parsletounge" said Ophelia airily, taking a bite of a chicken leg.

Draco nearly spit out his pumpkin juice.

" You can't be serious! Who in the name of Voldemort do you think you're kidding" he said, grabbing Crabbe's unused napkin to wipe off his face. " I wouldn't know," said Ophelia with a smirk, "I'm not kidding, and you haven't told me your name yet". "Hah" said Draco " Imagine not knowing my name. It's Malfoy, Draco Lucius Malfoy". " Nice to meet you. I'm Ophelia Sybil Serpentina," she said, shaking his hand.

" So prove you can speak Parsletounge then" he said. " All right" said Ophelia " I'll need something with a snake on it, since I couldn't bring Basil or Liska to school, and I usually talk to them." "Are Basil and Liska other Parselmouths?", said Draco " Oh, and you can use this if you must". He removed his silver & green Prefect badge, with a large P and a snake on it.

Ophelia took the badge and said " Basil is my Auntie's pet basilisk, and Liska is mine. When we moved I has to leave Liska, since the two became attached to each other". "Oh really" said Draco sarcastically. " Yup" said Ophelia, winking and nodding her head " Now listen". She stared at the badge and a stream of hissing sounds came out of her mouth. Draco stared and said " So you are a Parslemouth then. So what did you say?"

" I said, I couldn't bring Liska so I brought my eagle owl Lucy instead. She's named after my Dad" replied Ophelia, as she handed Draco his Prefect badge, which he pinned back onto his robes. Draco rolled his eyes "What kind of Name is Lucy for a man?"

"For your information" said Ophelia "my father's name is Lucifer. My owl is female so I named her Lucy". " I see" said Draco " That's awfully close to my father's name" "Lucius Malfoy right?" said Ophelia with a smirk.

"How did you know?" said Draco. " I'm psychic" said Ophelia with a giggle, swallowing some pumpkin juice " It's also your middle name, and our fathers are co-heads of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures after all."

" Oh right. I remember now" said Draco " Your father is the, and I quote "stupid Greek-God looking muscle man who infringed upon my territory", as my father put it". Ophelia gave him a nasty glare " How dad you talk about my dad that way. I'll have you know he had top marks in his class when he graduated you stupid prat". She proceeded to turn around and start up a conversation with another 5th year girl, Blaise Zaibini. " What an arrogant prat" she thought "Who does he think he is"?

Draco rolled his eyes and turned over and started talking to Crabbe and Goyle. " She's beginning to get on my nerves, talking to me like that" he thought " She has no idea who's she's dealing with".

**************************************************************************** ********** Authors Notes

Wowies! I UPDATED! GO ME! And thanks to all of you who found out the secret from my cousin Gryffindor Girl and reviewed anyway!

Thanks to all of my reviewers, you guys are great! I really love them and appreciate all the encouragement! Eliada_X I thought a lot of those things too, I hope that this one is a little better!

Some other things I feel I need to mention are: J.K Rowling never specified whether Blaise was a girl or boy, so I choose for her to be a girl. It's mentioned in Book 4 that Lucius Malfoy disposes of Dangerous beasts for the Ministry, SO I suppose this is what he does.

Please continue to read and leave all the nice reviews! Arigatou, I really appreciate it!
