Lily and Tera parted ways. Lily slipped into her seat beside Kal and away from Lexi. She started eating and as if waking from a daze everyone in the hall resumed eating and talking. It was only then that Lexi exploded. Litterally. She threw up.

Tera's smile stayed on even when she was at the Slytherin table. It was then that she remembered the sketch book that was in her hand. She looked at the picture and wondered how anyone could've possibly drew something like that. Something so... sad. It had an aura around it as if one could never be happy again. The picture was an accurate one of a dementor at sunset, sucking out a child's soul. Only, you could see the soul, and it was like a shadow, as if it wasn't really whole in the first place. The child was Tera. Tera felt her stomach jolt, it was sad, how could she have been so sad? To draw something so... Then Lucious came and sat next to her.

"Hello," he said in his drawling voice.

He had seen Tera walk into the hall with the mudblood filth Evans.

"What's that you have there?" he asked as he took away Tera's sketchbook.

"Hey! That's mine!" Tera said trying to snatch back her sketchbook. He only grinned tauntingly and started looking at the drawings. His face fell however when he saw the sketches, all as sad as the next. There were many different things in there, A person with a sword through their heart with the blood slowly, what looked like painfully, oozing out onto the rain covered grass, for it was raining, and the clouds covered the moon and stars; another with the sun rising over a battlefeild where a maiden stood amidst the carelessly strewn corpses crying, with the wind blowing through her hair; one with a girl falling off of a cliff with a look of mingled happiness and grief, with her cloak billowing about her. In every picture the girl, or the person was Tera. Lucious' mouth was open in a mix of horror, sympathy, and sterness. Tera looked away and slowly nibbled at a carrot that was on a nearby plate.

Lily noticed that Lucious Malfoy had sat down with Tera and she felt a hot surge of anger. It almost overspilled when Sirius Black cam and hissed "The Slytherin AGAIN Lily? What are you thinking it could seriously harm your rep.." but Lily cut him off.

"Ok Sirius Black if you hate her so much why did I hear you tell Lupin that you had a crush on her since 2nd Year? ((My special Twist! LOL)) I will tell you one thing Black. If you say another word about her I will see to it that evryone in the Hall knows about your SECRET CRUSH ON TERA THE SLYTHERIN." Lily said those last words out loud so the whole Hall Heard.

"Ooops Black sorry to late" said Lily smirking.

A very red Sirius was being stared at throughout the hall. Running through everyone's mind was Sirius Black likes Tera The Slythern. Except for a few hysterical girls who were crying out that it was a lie and Sirius loved them.

Tera was relieved of Lucious' hard face after seeing her deathly gloomy drawings when she heard Lily shout out... No.. she couldn't have just shouted out that. Not that Sirius Black had a crush on her since second year. No way. Why then in third year did he make her feel like shit? Like she was low just because she was Slytherin? She was confused now... Just as these thoughts were flying around her head like a ping-pong ball Lucious's steadily growing red face became clear. His thoughts were along Tera's. Lily didn't just say what he thought she'd said. Had she? After all Black couldn't have Tera. She would be his if anyone's. He temporarily forgot about the drawings he'd just seen and a thankful Tera slipped the sketchbook from his hands and shoved it into her bag. She started eating finally feeling hunger return to her stomach. At the same time she shoveled some eggs and a whole sausage into her mouth, along with a strip or two of bacon. There was no doubt about it, she was a pig. Lucious watched the half funny have scary spectacle of Tera eating. By just glancing at her he'd chatagorized her into a fine young lady who knew her manners well, one who was quite predictable. He of course was very wrong. Tera was anything BUT that. After eating a few more things she wiped her mouth with her robe's sleeve and chugged down a third of a litre of pumpkin juice. She stood up and when she did so did Lucious. "No Malfoy," she said.

"But-" he protested.

"I am not your girlfriend so you have absolutely no need to follow me around." she said sternly. She couild see his mouth open and close. Her eyes looked steely hiding the warmth in them. Lucious felt like he'd been hit right in the face; how could Tera suddenly be like this to him? When she'd kissed him the other night... did that mean nothing? He suddenly felt hot retaliation but fought it. Fine. He'd have his own way in the end. Even if it came down to force.

Lily saw Tera get up with Lucious trying to follow. She felt mad again. He had no right to follow her around unless.......no she wasn't dating him. It just couldn't be. She had to ask so she jumped up and followed Tera. Tera had stopped and grinned.

"So you knew I'd come?" said Lily also grinning.

"Yep" said Tera grinning.

The dou walked around talking of old times and plans for the future. When Tera asked what had happened with Dan she shrugged trying to hide the tears that were forming in her eyes. But when Tera asked if she had any new guy in mind Lily blushed a brilliant shade of read and said Yes.

"Ohhhhh who who???" asked Tera

"Um.....James Potter" muttered Lily

Tera shrieked and quickly shut up aster getting a look from a passing ghost.

"Are you sure? like you have hated him forever."

"Yes I thinks so" said Lily

Tera and Lily continued walking in silence until Lily thought of an idea for revenge.

"So Tera I have a certain feeling that a certain Black likes you" said Lily ina singsong voice.

"Yeah If you're talkign about Bellatrix she is weird but am pretty sure she is not a les...."

"Not a girl dimwit! Sirius Black

Tera stopped walking for a second and mumbled,

"I can't decide if I was happier when I thought you meant Bellatrix or when you said Black. I mean, nothing's wrong with Black... It's just that he's said stuff that's made me not believe that statement. 'What's that filthy Slytherin scum doing here?' particulary sticks out in my mind." She had felt injured ever since he'd said that. Did he mean that because she was in Slytherin she was fithy scum? Cause if he meant that... then she agreed with him. But he could've also meant that any way it was HER that was the filthy scum. He'd shaken her self confidence (which had already been quite low) more than she thought possible. Why did it matter if she was in Slytherin? Why did he actually have to SAY that? He could've just thought that...
