Christine did her best to slip into the great mass of people unnoticed, however she didn't succeed. Within moments, Lucius was by her side, placing his hand on the small of her back, as to guide her into the Great Hall.

Christine tried to pull away from him, but to no avail. "Lucius, why is your hand on my back?"

He looked forward and smirked, "I'm trying to avoid Narcissa, and she won't leave me alone, let's just say I owe you one."

She sighed and played along, completely unaware of Severus glaring at the pair. Lucius led her into the Great Hall and sat her beside him, keeping his arm continually on her leg all through the welcome back speech. Once Dumbledore had finished and the food appeared, Christine shoved his hand off. Lucius looked at her, something like hurt flickering in his eyes.

She stared back at him, "What? No one can see that you have your hand on my leg, besides, I think I'm already in enough trouble with Narcissa as it is, remember, I have to sleep in the same room as her and her little friends tonight."

Lucius trademark smirk crept back onto his face as he turned back to his food, "You know you are always welcome to sleep with me."

She shot him a glare as he continued to cut up his chicken, "Lucius, I wouldn't sleep in the same room as you if it meant that I would have to die by may fly consumption."

He just laughed to himself and Christine went back to her food. Once everyone had cleaned their plates, Lucius grabbed Christine's hand and jerked her up, guiding her to the Slytherin Common Room. Sighing to herself, Christine allowed herself to be led down into the dungeons until they came to a stone serpent. Lucius smiled smugly to himself and said the password, "Serpensortia." She watched as the snake slithered out of the way, as though it were real, to reveal a door.

'At least the password isn't pure blood anymore that was just getting old.'

Christine said goodbye to Lucius and walked up to her dorm, eager to get into her nice comfy bed and drift off into sleep. Her hopes were shattered however, for as she neared her dorm, she heard the incessant giggling of Narcissa and her cronies. Christine had to close her eyes and count to ten before she pushed open the door and walked inside. Immediately the giggling stopped. Narcissa glared at Christine, as though she was trying to burn a hole into her head.

Moving to her trunk Christine bent down to get her night clothes, "What do you want Narcissa, I doubt you are trying to burn a hole in my head, though you could try, I doubt you could, your not as powerful as you think you are."

Narcissa fumed, the wheels in her head were turning, obviously trying to find an insult to throw at Christine, however she was not quick enough, "Don't hurt yourself by thinking to hard cissa your not as smart as you think you are either."

Narcissa scoffed, "Wow Christine, I thought you would be in a better mood now. I mean, from the looks of it Lucius finally got into your pants. But aren't people normally in better moods after getting laid?"

Christine got up and moved to leave the room, night clothes in hand, "Do you honestly think that Lucius would still be hanging around me if he had already gotten into my pants? He would have been long gone by now, I mean come on Narcissa, you of all people should know that."

She left the room with a triumphant smile on her face; she could almost hear Narcissa's ears steaming. She walked to the bathroom, one hand holding her clothes, one hand gripping her wand. She changed without any confrontations but was wary of going back. Sure Narcissa wasn't the wittiest of witches, but Christine had been gone for about ten minutes, giving Narcissa enough time to rack that tiny little brain of hers and come up with some sort of payback for Christine's comment.

To Christine's surprise, there was no one in the dorm when she returned. Sighing in relief, she crossed to her trunk and placed her clothes back inside, and warded it from anyone who might try and go through it. She climbed into her bed and put protective charms around it too. To say the least, Christine didn't trust her roommates in the least bit. After all the wards had been put up, she put her wand under her pillow and drifted off to a peaceful sleep.

Morning came to quick for Christine. She grabbed her wand and lowered the wards, thankful to see that her roommates were still sleeping.

'This could be fun'

Christine quickly grabbed up her things and made for the bathroom, she quickly got herself ready for the day and returned to her dorm. After safely putting her stuff back into the trunk and making sure that her roommates were indeed asleep, she cast a silencing charm on the room. She crept over to the door and walked out, leaving it open a crack, and poked her head into the room. Christine waved her wand and muttered an incantation and upon hearing an incredibly irritating screeching noise, much like nails on a chalkboard, and the screams of her now awake roommates, she shut the door and cast a locking charm. She then strolled down the stairs lazily, her pack on her shoulder.

Lucius was waiting for her when she came down the stairs and she rolled her eyes. "God Lucius, why do you have to use me to ward of Narcissa? She was livid last night, and if weren't for her being a dim witted less than talented witch, then I would have been in deep crap."

He smiled and grabbed her by the waist, "Oh come on Christine, don't act like you don't enjoy acting like my girlfriend."

She pushed him away and walked towards the door, "No actually Lucius, I don't."

She walked towards the Great Hall, eager to get her schedule for the year. She popped in and saw that there were only a few people there. She spotted Severus and made her way over to him.

She sat next to him and began to pour herself some pumpkin juice. "Morning Severus."

He glared at her and returned to buttering his toast, "Why are you in such a good mood?"

Christine grabbed a few pieces of toast and some sausage, "Why wouldn't I be, I just annoyed the hell out of my dorm mates and we get our schedules today, of course I'm going to be happy."

Severus mumbled under his breath, "Not to mention the fact that you finally gave into that prat Lucius."

Christine raised her eyebrow at him, "What did you say?"

Severus shook his head, "Nothing."

"Um, ok then." All of a sudden, a dozen owls were flying down from the ceiling, one brown barn owl dropped a letter in Christine's toast, while another similar looking owl, dropped one into Severus' lap. Christine saw the Hogwarts Sign on the letter and ripped it open excitedly, it was their schedules. She looked down at the paper that read,

Severus looked at Christine schedule after hearing her let out a happy squeal. "Christine, don't you think that's a bit heavy?"

She looked almost hurt, "Severus, it's not too heavy, I had the same classes last year."

"Yes, but this is O.W.L. year, everything will be harder."

"Oh Severus, ill be fine, don't worry about me. Besides, they would have made me drop potions if I had wanted to drop anything, and there is no way in hell that would happen."

Severus smiled to himself, "Yeah, I can't see you ever dropping that class."

Christine looked back down at her plate and then looked at the big clock in the back of the great hall; it was almost time for first period. She turned to Severus who was studying his own schedule, "Hey Severus, what do you have first?"

He looked at the paper a moment before answering, "Um, Potions."

She grabbed his hand and pulled him up, "Great, lets go, grab your stuff."

The two walked down the dungeons, eager to get to their favorite class early. The two took a table in a back corner of the class and waited in silence for everyone to arrive. Once everyone had arrived, Christine heard the familiar slamming of the door that announced that class was starting and the Potions Mistress had arrived. Christine smiled to herself, 'Well, let the fun begin.'
