The rest of dinner was silent at the Gryffindor table, when Ginny and Hermione showed up. Although Harry and Ron were dying to know why Hermione was so frustrated, they decided not to ask or talk about it, thinking that she might have another fit if they did.

"Well im full" joked Hermione trying to start a conversation with everyone.

"Err...yea same here" said Harry following along.

"I think we should go now" answered Ginny, "I mean we're all done, plus we have a ton of homework"

"Yea...me and Harry haven't even finished our homework" added Ron. Hermione stood up and Ginny followed her towards the door. Ron grabbed a roll and stuffed it in his pocket and followed the girls and Harry out towards Gryffindor Tower.

"So Hermione you're ok now?"asked Ron catching up to her.

"Um...yea im fine" she answered now looking at Ron " I think it was just stress, you know...with school and stuff"

"Yea tell me about it...its our first day back to classes and we have loads of homework" said Ron waving his hands in the air sarcastically "its just so impossible with..." added Ron but was then cut off by Harry.

"To make a long story short...you want to help us!" said harry putting his arm around Hermione and giving her a big smile "pretty please?"

"What!" laughed Hermione "you still haven't done it?"

"Err...not quite" answered Ron.

"Like you said before with all this stress its just so impossible to concentrate" added Harry sarcastically trying to convince Hermione.

"Oh really?" laughed Hermione "is that so?"

"Yea you cant even imagine..." said Ron "so are you going to help us? Please!"

"FINE!" Hermione exclaimed "I'll help you guys"

"I knew it...I mean how can you resist this face" joked Harry making a puppy dog face

"Wow Harry that was great you kind of looked like Pansy for like 3 seconds there mate" laughed Ron making fun of Harry.

"You guys are pathetic, you know that?" laughed Hermione and then agreeing with Ron on Harry's puppy dog face.

"So Claire are you up for the Party?" asked Theo while walking out of the Great Hall.

"Umm...I dunno I guess..." smiled Claire.

"You better!" teased Theo

"Err...Theo can I ask you something?" questioned Claire looking up at Theo.

"Yea...sure go right ahead" answered Theo.

"Err...uh...well I just wanted to know what's up with um...Draco and Pansy?"

"Isn't it obvious?" answered Theo "they have always been together"

"Oh..." Claire said now looking confused.

"Why do you ask?" questioned Theo looking at Claire.

"No...no reason just because they look really close" answered Claire trying to seem not surprised.

"Yea I guess you can say that..." chuckled Theo. Theo and Claire continued to walk towards the Slytherin common room.

"So how was your fisrt day Theo?" asked Claire now trying to break the silence.

"The same as always boring and extremely long.." laughed Theo "how was your day Claire?"

"Grueling im so exhausted" answered Claire passing through the trapdoor into the Slytherin Common room. As Theo walked in behind her, everybody was near the fire talking and having a good time.

"So what's the whole point of this again?"asked Claire looking around at everyone.

"Its just an excuse to stay up late and get wasted" answered Theo.

"Oh right..." began Claire sarcastically "sounds like a blast"

"Yea...I know" chuckled Theo, "but it really is...plus now you can get to know everybody"

"You're right" answered Claire "that's a first"

"Shut up" answered Theo laughing "im smart and you know it." Claire then followed Theo towards the fire place.

"So you want something to drink?" asked Theo, showing her where to sit.

"Err...I'll have some pumpkin juice" answered Claire now sitting down and looking around observing everyone.

"Alright...I'll be right back" he said turning around to go get the pumpkin juice. Draco then saw Claire sitting and looking around at everyone. He walked over and sat down next to her and pretended not to notice he had sat next to her. Claire looked to her right and saw Draco, she then laughed and rolled her eyes and decided to say hi.

"Hey Draco...or wait is it Drackie" said Claire sarcastically trying to imitate Pansy.

"Hmm...I prefer Draco...thank you" laughed Draco now facing Claire "it sounds less like a pet name"

"Yup...I think so too" laughed Claire. Theo then saw Draco talking and rushed over to see what they were talking about.

"Here is your pumpkin juice Claire" said Theo interrupting their conversation.

"Oh right... thanks Theo" answered Claire looking up at Theo and taking the cup filled with juice.

"Hello Draco" said Theo now sitting in front of them.

"Hi Theo" answered Draco facing him

"What...? tired of Pansy so soon?" teased Theo trying to get on Draco's nerves.

"Shut up Theo..." sneered Draco turning red.

"Wow...ok...um how bout we talk about something else" said Claire noticing that something wasn't right.

"Err...soo Claire you want to meet the rest of us?" asked Draco standing up.

"Umm...I think I know most of everybody" said Claire standing up and taking a last sip of her juice before putting it down. Draco and Theo both decided to show Claire around to everyone. Claire seemed to click with everybody in one way or another.

"So Pansy you and Draco are back?" asked Millicent in her deep almost manly voice.

"Yea...im so happy!" exclaimed Pansy telling her group of friends.

"You guys like cant get enough of each other" teased Emma, winking her hazel eyes.

"Yea...we always end up together" answered Pansy now looking around for Draco.

"Soo Emma what about Theo?" began Moon with a smirk on her small freckly face "do you still like him?"

"Err...I dunno" answered Emma now turning red and starting to fidget with het curly auburn hair.

"Wait you still have a thing for Theo?" asked Pansy surprised "I thought you were over him?"

"Well not exactly" laughed Millicent "haven't you seen her she practically drools over Theo"

"Shut up!" exclaimed Emma "that's not true!"

"OoOo Theoooo" they all cooed together and teasing Emma.

"I wouldn't talk Millicent we all know you're into that...that ugly git of Crabbe" exclaimed Emma trying to get back at Millicent "yea its true...she fantasizes over him"

"Shut the hell up Emma" yelled Millicent getting madder.

"Yea she even has that stupid handkerchief that he lost last year, and drove everybody crazy trying to find it" continued Emma "no wonder no one found it...she was the one who took it." Millicent suddenly grabbed Emma by her shirt and pinner her up against the wall.

"You stupid git take that back!" yelled Millicent "you're so gonna pay you rat!"

"Stop that Millicent! You're hurting her!" screamed Pansy trying to stop her. Suddenly everyone noticed stopped and noticed what was going on. Everyone then ran towards the girls and cheered them on, chanting FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Millicent then dropped Emma and took out her wand. She pointed it straight at Emma who was sprawled on the floor.

"Stop!" yelled Moon "don't you dare!"

"You better take that back Emma or you're gonna regret it!" yelled Millicent still pointing her wand at Emma. Emma just laid there and stared at Millicent in horror, not being able to talk.

"What's going on over there?" asked Claire trying to look over everyone to see what was going on.

"I dunno but I think it's a fight" answered Theo. Draco then pushed his way through the crowd of Slytherins surrounding Millicent and Emma.

"Well you asked for it Emma!" continued Millicent "Furnunculus!" an orange light flew from her wand and struck Emma. Emma to scream in pain and began to break out in boils that were swelling into enormous things.

"What in the world do you think you're doing!" yelled Draco staring at Millicent in disgust.

"She's gonna pay for what she did" answered Millicent still pointing her wand at Emma, who was laying there crying in pain. "She shouldn't have opened her big mouth!"

"PLEASE...STOP!" cried Emma in pain.

"NO!" yelled Millicent. Millicent then screamed out "RICTUSEMPRA!" and a bolt of red light flew out. Emma fell back onto the floor and started to twitch and laugh uncontrollably as if having a seizure.

"Please...stop...i'm...really...SORRY!" screamed Emma in between breathes. Everyone laughed and kept cheering Millicent on telling her to keep torturing her.

"Make her stop Drackie!" screamed Pansy freaking out.

"But how?" asked Draco trying to think of something fast.

"Jajajaja! Isn't this great!" laughed Theo cheering with everyone else "first day and already a fight, I love this...this is awesome!"

"No this isn't funny! This is hideous, how can you take pleasure out of this, you're all sick!" yelled Claire watching Millicent torture Emma "this is going to stop right now!" said Claire taking her wand out. Theo continued cheering jumping up and down shouting MILLICENT! MILLICENT! MILLICENT!

"Millicent, you stop that right now! That was enough!" yelled Claire standing in front of her.

"Oh yea... who says so ?" answered Millicent "I don't believe I said I was done"

"I say so! Now step back!" answered Claire clutching her wand in her hand.

"What you're gonna make me or wut?" yelled Millicent threatening Claire "move Claire or else!"

"Claire stop what are you doing?" yelled Pansy

"No im not afraid of you, and im not going to let you do this to her!" yelled Claire refusing to back off "now step away Millicent, don't make me hurt you" Claire said now raising her wand and aiming it at Millicent.

"Don't make me laugh" said Millicent "im not scared of you"

Suddenly Claire yelled out "EXPELLIARMUS!" and sent Millicent's wand flying across the room. Every one stared in awe now getting closer to the girls. "Im sorry Millicent but...you asked for it PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!" yelled Claire and suddenly Millicent went stiff as a board and fell backwards making a huge thud. Everybody moved back and stared in shock at what just had happened. Theo then ran to Claire and hugged her.

"Wow Claire that was awesome!" said Theo jumping up and down.

"Emma are you okay?" shrieked Pansy kneeling beside her "Moon come and help me take her to the hospital wing"

"Yea come on lets go" answered Moon helping Pansy pick Emma up.

"Ill talk to you later Drackie" said Pansy leaving with Emma and Moon.

"What are you guys looking at? Party's over!" yelled Draco at the crowd still looking down at Millicent waiting for something else to happen.

"That was great Claire, I don't know how you did it" laughed Theo "she scares me"

"It's not funny Theo" answered Claire towards the spiral staircase.

"Wait Claire...are you okay?" asked Draco stopping her.

"Yea...im fine" she answered

"So what do we do with Millicent?" asked Draco poking her with his foot to see if she would budge.

"Err...just leave her there she'll wake up soon" answered Claire continuing her way towards the girls dormitory.

"That was cool what you did for Emma" said Draco watching her walk away.

"Yea...I guess...but I think I have had enough for a day" said Claire "goodnight Darco"

"Goodnight Claire see you tomorrow. Claire continued down the staircase and walked over to her four poster. She didn't bother changing, she laid there exhausted closed her eyes and drifted slowly into sleep.
