"So that little two-face bitch I told you about turned on me." Sara was saying to some really cool Slytherins. She knew she was meant to be with them, not with Norma and Lily.

"Too bad. You got us good dirt on Potter." A Slytherin said. Sara never saw this Syltherin's face because it was always under a hood, but she figured it was ordinary, so she pretended not to care. The Slytherin inhaled her cigarette, and exhaled in Sara's face. Even though Sara had been smoking for about a week now, she still couldn't get used to getting smoke blown in her face.

"You mean the Prat Prince?" Sara said, hoping that the Slytherins would like Potter's nickname. "That makes Evans a Prat Princess, right?"

The Slytherins laughed. Sara wasn't sure if that was a good thing, or a bad thing. "We here call Evans the Snitch Bitch." The Syltherin said. That one was the only one who would talk to Sara.

"I'm not sure I get it." Sara said, afraid she would be laughed at.

"Look, in Quidditch, the Seeker chases the snitch, right?" the Slytherin said slowly as if they were talking to a baby. "And Evans is always chasing boys like a Seeker would chase a Snitch. Can you figure out the bitch part, or do I have to explain that as well?"

"Shut it." Sara said. "I'm new, I don't know all the inside jokes yet, remember?"

"Whatever, Mallot." The Slytherin said. Another Slytherin leaned over and whispered something in the Slytherin's (the one who talked to Sara) ear. Sara was pretty sure it was about her, but she just acted cool and smoked her cigarette. Eventually, the Slytherins had surrounded her.

"What do you want?" Sara said with a bit of an attitude and she put out her cigarette with her heel.

"We've decided that you can join our little, err, 'club' if you want to." The Slytherin said. All the other Slytherins were smirking. Anyone else would have said no just by the evil smirk, but Sara had been waiting for this invitation forever.

"I suppose." Sara said coolly. "How do I join?"

"Just listen to your Lord." The Slytherin said taking off his cape. "Listen to me." Sara screamed, but the other Slytherins silenced her scream with a charm.

In the Gryffindor common room, someone else was screaming. Lily was screaming at James to stop tickling her. "Stop it! I'm serious James! Get off of me! Ahhh!" Lily screamed. "Norma save me!"

"Don't, this is too much fun too watch." Sirius was saying.

"This isn't as easy as it looks. Someone mind helping?" James said to Norma and Sirius. So they joined in. Lily soon escaped and started tickling James. Nothing happened.

"Are you telling me you're not ticklish?" Lily said. Then she tried right behind his neck. James laughed, and then covered his mouth quickly. As if that would stop the escaped laugh. "You ARE ticklish!"

"What? He always told me he wasn't!" Sirius said, jumping over to James and tickling him.

"Stop, stop! I mean it, get off me!" James said, trying to escape. Lily caught him and dragged him back.

"Oh, don't think you're getting away so easily!" Lily said laughing. Then James started tickling Lily, Sirius was tickling both of them, and Norma was just watching. 'How can one of my friends be so innocent while the other is so bad?' Norma thought.

"Norma, why such a party pooper?" Lily asked as the top half of her body escaped from being tickled.

"Thinking of Sara." Norma said bluntly. Lily's face softened. She pinched the boys so she could escape and went upstairs with Lily.

"Used and abused, man." Sirius said. "Used and abused."

"Shut it, Padfoot." James said laughing. Upstairs though, no one was laughing.

"I know you and Sara got close when you guys were mad at me and when I spent time with Sirius and James, but you have to realize that the whole time, she wasn't really your friend." Lily said.

"How do we know how long this has been going on?" Norma said. "Maybe it's only been for a few days and she didn't mean what she said. I mean, how do we know if this wasn't just a phase?"

"She called me a bitch." Lily said. "Am I supposed to just forget that and welcome her back with open arms because if might be a phase? No, I'm sorry Norma, that is not enough for me."

"So you would rather just lose your best friend?" Norma said. "The best friend you've had all your life. You wouldn't just see her here either. You would see her at home during the summer. She's your neighbor. How can you let your best friend go like that?"

"If she hates me as much as she says she does." Lily said. "If she can call me a bitch without feeling guilty, then she is not my friend. Hardly my best friend." Lily walked out and left Norma alone. 'I was wrong.' Norma thought. 'None of my friends are innocent.'
