Halloo! Thank you for reviewing! It helps a lot!

Machiavelli Jr: Thanks! Ya, my spell check must be off, also, remember I wrote the 2nd chapter at 12:00! I know it's hard to follow but bear with me, I'm going to edit and redo it so it isn't so full of errors. Sorry! I'll try not to do that from now on… And I forgot that's how you spell her name! Thx! feeling stupid but grateful Well, here's the next chapter! (by the way, I spelled halloo like that on purpose! Lol) Holy crap! I wrote a lot! I'm still on the second day!

Surprises

"Well, never been more grateful to go to History of Magic." I say as Lee, George, and I take our seats in Professor Binns's class room.

"Ya, I know what you mean," says Lee, "We weren't exactly model students…" George laughs, "That's an understatement"

"Well, settle down students, settle down" Binns says.

"Never mind" I say as he starts to drone on and on about early wizards and their wars.

"Oh, never fails," I say smiling at a fly, "There's always one in here"

"Well, I want to go first" says Lee.

"…in 45 AD, while they still struggled with the trolls from time to time…"

"Wingardium Leviosa!"Whispered Lee. The fly moved around the room in the direction of Lee's wand, under the table of course. He zoomed it around Binns's head and shot it up again. No matter how many times we do this, he never thinks it's us, and we've been doing it for years!

"…never seen again, but they believe his head lies at the bottom of the…"

"Ok, I'm gonna do it!"Whispers Lee.

"Nah, you'll get caught" said George. Personally, I wanted to see him do it.

"He won't know."

"How can he not notice?"

"Come on this is Binns, he's a ghost remember?"

"All right, but I'm warning you…"

All of the sudden, Lee sends the fly straight through Binns's head, and all he does is scratch it!

"Oh my gosh! He didn't notice! He felt it, but doesn't no what happened!" says George, fighting to keep from choking with laughter.

"I-don't-believe-it!" Says Lee, also fighting back. Thankfully, we know how to laugh with out making much noise (though it's also painful.) Pretty much, you just force all the air out of your lungs and take only small breaths of air when you feel like you won't make mush noise. This has saved our necks tons of times. Giving the fly some mercy, Lee relives it from the charm.

"… was won much to the goblins' outrage, and we could then begin to repair…"

My god, how thick can you get? Nearly Headless Nick would have known, and he doesn't have his head full on anyway. Well, I guess that's kinda obvious…

The bell rings, and we get out of there fast. Once we're safely away, we collapsed and laughed till we thought our ribs would burst. Once we'd composed our selves, we go to the Great Hall for lunch.

To congratulate our selves, we piled our plates high with food, much to the irritation of Hermione ("Honestly, they'd be insulted if we didn't!") and recounted our time with Umbridge.

Harry's face lit up, Ron looked as though Christmas had come early, and Hermione actually hugged us. And to top it all off, that Slytherin girl comes up to us. "Er, hello." She says. "I just wanted to say, I thought it was really great of you guys to stick up for Harry and Dumbledore like that."

All we can do is stare blankly. What! A Slytherin? A Slytherin said that?

"What are you playing at?" asks George, "You're a Slytherin, you hate Dumbledore!"

"I do not!" She says defensively. "Since when can you decide what people think?"

"Well, after all, you are a Slytherin." I say. But, I seemed to have offended her. She looked down and gritted her teeth, "I didn't choose what house I went into!" and storms off.

We're all left in silence… Finally, Hermione says, "Well, that's never happened before." George is still staring after her, a confused look on her face. As she sits down, I realize that she's sitting alone at the end of the table.

"That's the First time I have ever heard of a Slytherin not wanting to be one" Says Lee. "Or complementing a Gryffindor." I keep watching her, her back is turned toward us, her long, black hair reaches her hips; it doesn't look as though she's eating…

"Ummmm, I'm going back up to the common room," I say, "Gonna go work on the S.S.'s." I invent.

"Ya, I think I'll go to, we need to work on the no- the thing!" He says loudly, trying to hide what he'd almost said.

"What are you guys making?" Asked Hermione suspiciously.

"Cakes." I say and we head up towards the common room. Damn, I wanted to see if I could catch that Slytherin girl…

"What a weird girl" says George. "Seems pretty far to go for a prank." I just nod my head.

"'Know what ya' mean" is all I manage to say. All of a sudden, I see a black dot move out of the corner of my eye. "Ah, er, wait!" I say to George, "I left the stupid er, unicorn hair over there." I invent.

"You can't leave that stuff lying around!" George scolds.

"Right. Meet you in the common room, don't wait up!" I say and sprint off. Just when I think I've lost her, I see her walking down the stairs to what I guess is the Slytherin common room.

"HEY!" I yell when I get near her. Thankfully we're the only ones there or this might have been awkward. She turns around, a surprised look on her face, but as soon as she realizes it's me, she starts to glare. It's almost scary.
"What do you want?" She demands, her green eyes narrowed.

"Er, um, I uh, wanted to know why you, you know, walked up to our table. I mean, we're supposed to be enemies, and well-" I finish lamely. She's really starting to freak me out, that glare is powerful.

"If you must know, it's because I thought it was nice that someone stood up to that foul women. There is no way I can learn new spells by reading. And like you said, it won't do much good to read at Death Eaters." Here she laughs, but it's not cold like the other laughs we get from Slytherins, it's, well, I can't describe it. Anyway-

"I really do believe Harry, and Dumbledore, no one would make something up like that about Cedric, besides, I've been expecting it. I knew Voldemort would have made himself as immortal as he could. But I didn't think he would return so soon."

I'm stunned, I don't know what to say. "You're not evil." Is all I can say. Immediately I wish I could melt where I was standing, but of course that doesn't happen.

But now she's laughing again. "No one said that to be in Slytherine you had to be evil, if you pay attention to the sorting hat." Here she laughs again, "No, I think I got in because of this." She says. She closes her eyes, smiles, then points her wand at me and yells, "Expecto Patronum!"

All of a sudden, a white mist comes out of her wand and slowly transforms into a snake. "Don't worry, he doesn't bite." She says smiling. It slowly coils around her, and stares at me."I was able to make him when I was twelve."

"Twelve! That's even better than Harry!" No wonder she was in Slytherine, she had amazing power. And her patronus was a snake.

"Yes, and he's been my best friend. Patronuses are alive you know, they live on your happiness, not at all like dementors, and they are truly wonderful." She smiles at the shining snake, and begins to pat it.

"Well, why is it a snake?" I ask. "I mean, you know Salazar Slytherine loved snakes."

"He could love nothing." She says rather coldly. "But anyway, I know there is a big green serpent on our house flag, I haven't missed it. But snakes are my favorite animal, they're so cute, and fascinating, and it always seemed like something that could always protect me. That's why my patronus is a snake, not because I'm evil or anything."

"Ya, well, sorry for being a little, er,"

"Biased?"

"Ya, it's just that there's never been a Slytherin that's-"

"I'm not a Slytherine," she says interrupting me. "I'm a student at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry." She says. She smiles and turns around and leaves.

Wow, that was interesting. Holy crap! I should have been back by now! I run towards the common room, hoping against hope George doesn't know I'm gone. Oh of course he'll know! I burst through the common room, and everyone turns and stares at me, I'm breathing heavily, so everyone knows I've been running.

"Where have you been!" George asks. "You should have been here ten minuets ago!" All I can do is tell him the truth right? Nothing else to say. Just got to fess up. Ok, here goes.

"I'm-going-to-kill-that-bloody-ghost." I say between breathes. What, you though I was going to tell him the truth? I'm a Weasley twin after all! I don't crack that easily.

"Oh, he didn't get the unicorn hairs did he?" He whispers.

"Nope, I got 'em right here." I say as I reach into my pocket and pull out the shining hairs. George smiles. "You scared me for a second Fred! I thought that's why you wanted to kill Peeves! Good luck with that by the way." He says smiling. It's not easy to lie to my brother, but what could I say?

"He gave me hell though, trying to get away with them. Ah well, we have a free period to work on them, that should give us time to find a cure at least." I say. Then we go over to Lee and begin working on the- hey! I can't tell you that! That's confidential right there! You can't expect me to let you in on everything we do you know! Maybe next chapter.

Weak ending, I know, oh well. Heeheehee, you'll be hearing more from the Slytherin girl later. Wow, I really need to get to a new day. Please review, I can't tell you how happy I get reading them! Thank you for your help! Vipergirl
