A/N Thank you to my reviewers!

Lec: I do not know. We need to talk about him. sigh. I have no idea, its complicated. Maybe you need to shrug move on?

Hannah Clinton: Thanks for reviewing bows I'm glad that I made you laugh!

Boogie: Ahh, those evil teachers, telling us to do things, and we actually do them! Pepper, don't let me get started on PEPPER! Pepper is EVIL! It will take over the world one day, I tell you! Please update your story soon!

'What? What are you ON, Calvin? Why would I want to go near that Gryffindork, the Prince of Light, Ringleader of the Golden Trio Of Orgies…'

'Please stop with the lewd comments…'

Arabella bowed her head and studied her feet interestedly. Getting reprimanded so many times by Calvin was going to take a toll on her confidence.

'Arabella, look at me.'

She looked up, feeling strange to be taking orders from someone who was barely a year older than herself.

'Sit.'

Calvin surveyed the younger girl. He had no idea what to do with her. He knew his orders, get close to Potters supporters and gradually pick them off one by one. Distract Potter. Do it soon.

'This summer was, eventful. I was drafted for a higher cause.' Arabella immediately looked up, afraid. 'Oh no, Calvie, please. No, don't tell me!'

He rolled up his sleeve, displaying his arm. Arabella could barely look at the black skull and snake tattooed on it.

'We're not just extracting revenge for pettiness. We need to help our Lord.'

'My only Lord is the Lord of Lourdes.' Arabella replied methodically.

'Arabella.'

The younger girl looked at her hands again.

'I can't read your emotions if you look at your hands.' Calvin said coolly.

Amethyst eyes locked with green. He could see hurt, betrayal, and hidden in their depths, fear. She was afraid that he was going to hurt her.

'Arabella, I had to. Lilly, Lilly will never join. She's a Healer, and she is refusing to get involved.' He sighed, naming his sister. 'I had to do something to make sure she was alright. Like Bellatrix, remember?'

Arabella nodded. Bellatrix had joined the Dark Lord and become his most zealous supporter all to protect her sister, Andromeda Tonks-Lupin, who had joined the Order of the Phoneix.

'The Dark Lord wants us to start chipping away at Potter. I don't want to do this to you, you're too young.'

'Then don't.'

'I have to.'

'No you don't!'

'Bella, loyalty to family first, remember? I'm sorry.'

'I am NOT shagging Longbottom.'

Calvin had to laugh. 'No. I want you to create a rivalry between Potter and Weasley.'

Arabella smiled. 'Consider it done.' This was what she was trained for. Fights, flirting, fun. No Dark Lord, dementors, or death.

'Alright. The rest of the house knows that you will only associate with them on my orders, so you won't have to worry about retribution.;

'Do I have a due date? Weasley will be easy, but Potter's mad at me.'

'Before the end of the school year.'

'What will Pansy and her Nympho squad do?'

'Generally persuading people to be loyal to them, mostly Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws. We're leaving the Griffs alone, mostly because they are too loyal to Saint Potter.'

Arabella nodded. She really could care less about why they were doing this, and who was being affected. She had her job, and it would provide her with something to do during the BO-RING-NESS of school and homework.

'You're crying again.' A voice said from the end of her bed.

Arabella sat up slowly to look at the intruder. Pansy Parkinson, Blonde hair, Big Boob bimbo, was eyeing her with concern.

'No, I wasn't.'

'What's the matter?'

'Nothing.'

'Calvin told you.'

'He doesn't tell me anything.'

'A bunch of us had to this summer. It was our time. My parents didn't want anything happening to me, so they agreed that I would join.' Pansy sighed, staring into space.

'Twisted, hunh? In order to protect me, they make me join. Whatever. It didn't even hurt that much. You would have thought that when someone was burning something into my skin it would hurt. Nope. Nothing. Hurt as much as getting my belly-button pierced.' Arabella doubted that Pansy was even talking to her anymore, but merely talking off into space.

'But what hurt the most was the initiation deed. I had to got torture a muggle. Sure, he was a criminal. I made sure. I pulled him off of attacking his prom date, and first imperioused him to apologise to her. When she left I hat to crucio him. It didn't work at first, I couldn't generate that much anger. But the Dark Lord was getting impatient, and I was getting afraid. Do you know what generates the worst of the Crucio? Fear. I was so afraid that the man was a withering twitching blob. Then I was commanded to end his life. I was happy too then, it could be a mercy killing. No man deserved to live in that state. I was just about to, to redeem myself. A little. I would end him as painlessly as possible. But no. The Dark Lord said that he didn't want me going to Azkaban. So he killed him.'

Arabella hugged the older girl. She had no idea what to do, though. Pansy had just admitted that she was going to be a killer. The right thing was to go to Dumbledore. I don't want to hear any of you running off to Dumbledore… IT's alright Pansy. It's okay. It's over, he won't make you do anything else for a while.'

'For a while. For how long? I don't know if I can live with myself. I can see why some give themselves fully to the cause. I can't only be in halfway. It hurts to much.'

'Pansy…' Arabella sighed. 'It'll be okay.'

She doubted she had told a bigger lie in her entire life.

Arabella shook herself awake. What a weird dream. Pansy, crying? But still, it seemed true. Pansy had acted like more of a Bimbo than usual when she had seen her in Diagon Ally. Was Pansy taking a leaf out of her book and pretending things away?

'bloody early. Why did the muggles bloody invent alarm clocks" Blaise asked conversationally as the two of them stormed into the Great Hall.

'Because they're all morning people?' Arabella offered. 'So how are things going with you and Ginny?'

'She's an absolute MARVELOUS snogger! You should have seen Potter's face when he caught us. Acutaly, he hasn't said anything to me, but there he comes now.'

'What ARE you DOING, WITH GINNY!' Harry screamed. He stormed up towards the two, glaring at Blaise. Finnegan, Thomas, and Longbottom followed him, looking apprehensive.

'This is Arabella.' Blaise pointed out.

'And I'm back here.' Ginny added in a confused voice as she walked up behind Harry.

Grinning, Arabella leaned back across the wall in a very Malfoy-esq pose, as Blaise and Ginny snogged each other hello.

'GINNY! Why are you snogging him?' Harry screeched.

'Because he's my boyfriend?' She offered.

'Since when?'

'Since like, this summer!' Ginny smiled.

Blaise grabbed Ginny around her waist and pulled her towards him, smirking over her shoulder at Saint Potter.

'Ginny! I know you're trying to get back at me, but being slutty…'

'What did you just call her?' Blaise demanded.

'Look, Ginny. I understand that you might be mad at me for breaking up with you last year, but with all of the problems with…'

'The Dark Lord, who, as we know, has MUCH more important things to do then meddle with people's love lives, will use you to hurt me, and I can't bear the thought of you getting hurt.' Blaise, Ginny, and Arabella finished the sentence for him.

'Yet you didn't seem so bent out of shape when you were snogging Arabella!' Ginny pointed out.

'That's different!'

'Because if Voldemort had a go at me, you'd be hunky-dory with THAT!' Arabella demanded.

Harry was having problems deciding where to run.

'Yaah! And besides, then why can't I go out with Blaise? He's a much better snogger than you!' Ginny pointed out.

'Really? I'm touched.' Blaise joked.

'What's going on over here?' Calvin asked as he wandered over, flanked by Draco and Chris. Pansy, Meredith, Millie, and Kendall followed them.

Calvin surveyed the scene, and smirked. 'Shame, Potter, can't seem to be able to hang onto your girlfriends. The Weaselette is with Blaise, and well, Arabella never really fancied you, Cho Chang was using you for a rebound relationship, and Padama Patil went off with that bloke from Buebaxton.

Harry, who had been growing angrier and angrier by the moment, looked ready to rip Calvin limb from limb.

'I argh, mumble grrrrr' cue violent hand gestures. 'Ynuk adsfkd femraaah!'

'Was that English?' Arabella wondered. She walked over to the fuming Potter and waved her hands in front of Potter. 'Helllooooo, is Potter going insane?'

She carefully danced back from him when he took a swipe at her.

'And Potter's seeker reflexes are going down the drain. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Does that mean that the Slytherins are going to beat you?' She giggled, and twirled away from the hex that he sent at her. 'Ahh, poor ittle potter. Whoa, there. Don't kill me.' She commented looking at the jet of sparks that he just sent forth from his wand.

'Arabella.' Calvin said placidly. He, unlike Arabella, knew when to stop.

The younger shrugged and flounced into the great hall, followed by Ginny, and Pansy and her clique. They knew what was coming next.

'Normally, Potter, we would leave you alone. Yet you attacked Arabella, who really wasn't doing anything, she was just making sure that you were still sane.' Calvin smirked his death smirk. 'And then there's Ginny. I mean, what has she done to you except move on? Now, since she's going out with Blaise, we think some well placed hexes ought to do you some good.

Finally, the other Gryffindors shook off their paralysis. 'No you will not!' Dean Thomas yelled, drawing his wand.

'Stupefy!'

'Perificlus TOTALAS!'

'Jellyleginesssssss'

'Sectumsempra!'

'Wow, that was Dark Magic, that was.'

'Good thing that Potter's a bad aim.'

'Serpensempra!'

'BIG HUGE SNAKE! RUN!'

'Normally I wouldn't agree with Longbottom, but seeing that Potter is shooting out long deadly cobras from his wand, let's move!'

In the mean time, Ginny and Arabella were complaining about how they had gotten up too early.

'IT IS SIX in the BLOODY MORNING!' Arabella was complaining. 'There is no-one else even UP YET!' Ginny concurred.

They watched interestedly as Neville, Blaise, Dean Thomas, Chris, and Seamus sprinted into the Great Hall. They were soon followed by Draco, who was strolling along leisurely, a pale Ron, and Harry Potter and Calvin sending curses at each other. Last, but not least, an enormous snake slithered in after them.

'SNAKE!" Pansy screamed, leaping on the table, knocking her kippers to the floor.

'AAAAAAAAAA!' Neville yelled, knocking the bench over as he scrambled to get on the table.

'Hmm. Can't hold a candle to the Basilisk, but really freaky.' Ginny commented, eyeing the snake.

'EHMAGAWD, BOB!' Arabella shrieked, and threw herself at the snake.

'EHMAGAWD, BELLA!' The snake hissed. 'How ARE you DAHLING?'

'I really have to stop with the magical mushrooms.' Neville sighed.

'It's been too long!' Arabella screamed. 'I've haven't had a reason to send my bestest gay snake pal!

'I know! My job's been SOOO boring lately, just chasing after some random person or another, although I have to say, some of them have been pretty fine,' The snake winked at Harry, who shuddered violently. 'And boring stuff like that. It's been FOREVER since you've conjured me! I felt UNLOVED!' Bob complained.

'I'm so sorry! But look at that eye candy that you were chasing earlier!' Arabella pointed at Draco. The only way to get a homosexual snake to not be upset was to point out a very hot Slytherin male.

'Mmm,' Bob smiled.

"He's mine!" Pansy wailed, leaping down from the table and glaring at the snake. THERE was NO WAY that SHE, Pansy Parkinson, was going to loose her man to ANOTHER man, erm, male. 'And he's straight?'

'He is?' Bob demanded.

'I don't know, he was wearing a dress once!' Arabella pointed out.

'THAT WAS ONLY BECAUSE I WAS HUNG OVER AND YOU TOLD ME IT WAS MY QUIDDITCH JERSEY!' Draco screamed back at her.

'Aww, so he is a cross-dresser!' Bob squealed happily.

'I know, but Pansy would be unhappy if you stole him. That guy over there is a Parsletounge, so you could introduce him to your parents!' Arabella giggled.

Bob giggled, which was a strange sound, it sounded more like a constipated pig, (but we won't tell him because then he would be upset) and said 'Oooh, well, enough of the joking around. I was in the most DELICOUS dinner of caviar and goose pate, and I was designing the most ah-dorable outfit, made out of humanskin, although there was plumanskin version to make the SETH (snakes for the ethical treatment of Humans) happy, and I really should be going back. SO ta ta now, da-ling.' With a flash of smoke, the snake was gone.

Noting the confused expressions of her classmates, Arabella shrugged. 'Hey, I would always conjure him to put in my brothers beds whenever they ah-noyed me. We've got to be old friends.'

She was beginning to get annoyed with their blank stares. It was almost as if they thought it was strange that she was friends with a gay snake. Well, maybe it was, but really, they didn't have to go all funny about it!

'LOOK, WE ONLY HAD SEX ONCE!' She screamed. There, that got their attention. 'I was kidding. You just had a stoned expression on your face and I had to see if there was actually someone there!' She explained, then began to resolutely butter her scone. Stupid people. They all needed to die. Except her. And Ginny and Blaise and Draco and Calvin. No they were staring at her too. So everyone had to die except her. But then she would be lonely. Alright, they would all be tortured to the brink of insanity. But insane people were kind of scary. They couldn't help it, but still. They had no idea who Manalo Blasnik was. And that was sort of scary.

Harry was between very mad and very amused and very in love. It wasn't fair. She was gorgeous, and she played funny pranks. Yet she was in Slytherin. She was evil. And she had made fun of him.

Calvin wanted to laugh.

Ginny wanted to snog Blaise. And she wanted to know if their relationship was pretend or not. Because he was sooo nice, and it would be great if they really had a relationship, wouldn't it?

Blaise was hungry.

Pansy wanted to know if Draco liked her better, or if he like Arabella better. Because that wouldn't be fair.

Ron was hungry.

Neville wanted to know more about the SETH. He thought that it was a very worth while cause. He also wanted to know when snakes wore human skins.

Dean and Seamus were hungry.

Hermione was confused. Which did not happen very often. Why was everyone glaring at each other and fingering their wands. Eww, that could be taken VERY VERY badly. It was very very strange. They really needed to stop.

Chris was hungry.

Draco was confused. Why was everyone staring at Arabella? And why was Potter glaring at him? Oh yaah, they were shooting curses at each other a couple of moments before. Oops.

Arabella was hungry.

And confused. It didn't make sense. Why was everyone glaring at her? It wasn't like it was HER fault that Bob was gay. Maybe they were homophobic. Then she needed to talk to that new Professor, Professor Raskind, about being more accepting of homosexual snakes. An evil grin formed across her face. That was it, time for plan 2, Chaos ensues. cue evil laughter.
