Lynx had woken up, only a few hours after her and Harry's exchange. He was still peacefully asleep next to her, but she was getting restless. Not willing to wake him yet, she rolled out of the bed, softly, and left her room.

Nyt sat with her back against the wall, facing Lynx's door. Her hands were clasped together on her knees while her head rested against the wall behind her head. When Lynx opened her door, Nyt looked up with a sympathetic look.

"So when are you going to tell the other?"

"Which?" Nyt seemed tired, at least to Lynx, but Nyt's question also made her curious.

"Which ever one you decide you like the most."

"That's going to be hard to do." By this time, Nyt had stood and began walking away from the great hall, up the stairs that lead to the remaining rooms. "How'd you get in here?"

"How'd Harry know I was your best friend?"

"Harry….WHAT!"

"It would seem that something slipped. I don't talk to Harry and you are too good to let something that valuable out, so I bet we have ourselves a rat."

"Who do you think?"

"Who do we hate."

"Ohhhh!"

They continued walking until the hall stopped in a dead end. The room doorways were on both the left and the right but there wasn't one here. Looking up Lynx noticed a duct system that had a grate with the ability to be opened outward.

"Well, Nyt, I should be surprised."

"Ah, surprised by something this minimal. You wound me, really. I can do a lot better than this."

Both shared a laugh suppressed by the need for stealth. Nyt climbed up into the duct and offered Lynx a hand up. With the grate firmly back in place, Nyt led Lynx down the system.

"Where all does this go, Nyt?"

"Ummm, it goes to the library, a few classrooms, and surprisingly enough the Snake house. But…the best place it goes is…"

She popped the grate out that they had came upon, and climbed down from it. Helping a slightly curious Lynx down, she held out her hands in a presenting manner and spun around to face the classroom.

"Welcome to Snape's lab."

"We're going to get caught."

"Oh, I hope we do."

Lynx looks around the lab and shakes her head. Suddenly she notices Nyt messing with Professor Snape's blackboard. Something was written on the board, but Lynx couldn't read it, so she moved closer. What she saw was: 'Snape is one greasy Gryffin.'

Lynx almost burst out laughing but didn't. Then Nyt wrote LP under it. Lynx looked shocked.

"You know, he's going to think I wrote that."

"So."

With that said and done they left the same way they came.

The next day Lynx walked into Snape's lab and looked around. Her gaze fell onto the board, which almost caused her to laugh.

She found her seat and sat down. Then Malfoy showed up and pulled her into a kiss.

"I thought you'd never have the same feelings as I." He said before siting in his own seat.

Snape barges in and looks right at Lynx with his cold black eyes that sent chills down her spine.

"I want to know why you did what is on the board."

"I didn't do that, sir. She did. I saw her." Lynx said, pointing at Nyt.

He smirks. "Do you really expect me to believe that one of my Snake's did this?"

Lynx stands up and looks at him hard. "Yes. And if you don't believe me, then hook me up to a lie detector and question me. Maybe then you'll believe me."

Snape walked toward Nyt, grabbed her arm and dragged her to his office. Once the door slammed shut everyone minus Harry, Ron, Lynx and Skyra started talking.

"Draco, how can you be sure that Lynx likes you?" Someone asked.

"Because it's going all over school." Malfoy answered.

"Why did you do that to Lynx for, Malfoy?" Harry asked.

"Cause she wanted me to, didn't you Kitten?" Malfoy replied.

"Kitten?" Ron asked.

"A lynx is part of the cat family." Lynx responded.

"But why would you kiss a Gryffin?"

"Because she wanted me to. She likes me after all, just like Nyt likes Snape."

"Eww."

"Nyt likes Snape, Lynx likes me, Lupin is Lynx's father and those two girls are best friends. Or so that is the rumor going around school. " Draco said.

Harry looked shocked as he looked questioningly at Lynx. All she did was bow her head. Harry shook his head as he sat in his seat. Draco sat beside Lynx as they all waited for Snape to come back.

"Skyra, you're dead." Lynx whispered.

"Maybe I can help." Draco offered.

"Maybe." She said as she looked up at him. He was smirking causing her to slightly blush and smile back. "But what can we do?"

"We could lock her in a room."

"A classroom with Ron Weasley."

"So, you don't like the weasel."

"No, I don't."

"But you liked Fred."

Lynx bowed her head then nodded.

"Act like nothing has changed between you two. I was jealous once, and I want him to know it."

"Okay. I can do that."

Snape and Nyt walked back in as Draco went to sit in his assigned seat. Nyt sat down beside Lynx as Snape started to teach.

"What happened?" Lynx asked, quietly.

"What do you think?"

"You two made out?"

"Something like that."

"Miss Nikov and Miss Phoenix, I want you two to go to the library and work on your paper for my last class, since Miss Phoenix missed it due to the fact she was sick." Snape said.

They nodded as they gathered their things and left the classroom, heading for the library. They talked along the way about what happened.

"I can't believe our secrets are out." Nyt said.

"Skyra's the one who told." Lynx said.

"How? We never told…"

"My journal's missing."

"I'm sorry."

"Draco and I plan on locking her in a classroom with Ron."

"We could make them miss all their classes for a day."

"I like that, Nyt."

The continued talking as the library got closer and closer.

School was done for the day. Lynx received a good grade on her paper, even though she had written it that morning.

She walked toward the Great hall to do her homework. She was surprised that Draco was also in there. He lifted his head up and motioned her over. She walked over to the Snake table and sat down beside him.

"My mother had these sent over." Draco said as he offered her a brownie.

"Thank you very much, Draco." Lynx said as she took a brownie and ate it slowly.

"I'd like to see you again." Draco said.

"I do too, Dragon."

Then Lynx stood up and went to the Gryffin Common Room. When she walked in Fred was the first one to embrace her and welcome her back. Everyone started laughing, since they knew Lynx's secret but Fred didn't.

"Fred, you should know that Lynx doesn't like you, she likes Draco Malfoy." Skyra said.

Lynx looked at her with venom in her eyes. Fred looked at Lynx, noticed the hatred and then looked at a smirking Skyra.

"I don't believe that, Skyra. With that smirk on your face, I'd say that you're just making it up." Fred said.

Everyone looked at Skyra and they too noticed the smirk on her face. Suddenly everyone felt stupid for believing her and apologized to Lynx, even Harry for being so upset.

"It's ok. I don't blame you guys for thinking that was true. I mean, Malfoy did put up a good show, but I highly doubt that a Snake would like a Gryffin." Lynx said.

With that said everyone went about his or her business while Lynx dragged Skyra out into the hall. Once the door was shut Lynx turned around and slapped her.

"How could you do that to us? I thought we were all friends? How could you betray Nyt and me like that? Why Skyra, why?" Lynx asked, finally showing all hatred and anger.

"Because you two were getting all the attention! I didn't have any minus those first few days with Harry! You have Fred and Draco wanting all of your attention! Nyt either has or wants all of Snape's attention, but me I have nobody!" Skyra said.

"That's not true! Ron likes you, Skyra! But you're too caught up in somebody else's personal life that you haven't seen it! When we went to our first science class, and Snape was assigning us to someone, I saw the look on Ron's face when he wasn't partnered up with you, Skyra!" Lynx was almost screaming now, she was so mad. "You never pay attention! That's why you're not getting any attention! If you would open your eyes and live your own life you'd see how much Ron likes you."
