Selena turned around to look into the darkest eyes she had even seen. Black spiky hair and a high chiseled face along with dark green robes met her face to face. "I'm sorry." She said quietly, and moved to get out of the way. The boy grabbed her arm and held her still. His grip was tight but somewhat gentle. She stared at him, and then glanced down quickly at his hand. He grinned right in her face. It showed sharp canines that reminded her of a wolf about to eat its prey.
She stiffened as he leaned closer. He leaned over near her ear. " I know who you are, girl." He whispered. He glanced at Harry, who was watching this exchange without really knowing what was going on, or hearing anything. She watched him eye Harry as his grin turned wider. If he figured it out…….She twisted in his grip. "I'm nobody." She said quietly. " And is this the hospitality I can expect from a prefect of Slytherin?" His smile vanished and he released her. As he dragged his hand away, he let it slide over her cheek. " I like feisty." He grinned. She shot him a freezing stare. "Good for you, I'll let you know if I ever become desperate." She replied. As he walked away, she sighed in relief.
"What was that all about?" Harry asked quietly. "Obviously nothing but Slytherin trying to pick on new students." Ron returned and put a friendly hand on Selena's shoulder. "It's alright, just stick close to us." He murmured in reassurance. Hermione stared at Selena though and caught her eye. Selene could have sworn that there was something knowing in the young witches gaze. She walked silently beside the trio, hoping that nothing else would happen that might give her away for sure.

In potions, Snape turned and faced the class. "We seem to have a new 6th year." He said, in tones as bland and as cool as ice. Then he got a got look at the name and a new fire seemed to leap into his eyes. "Miss Selenity, if you would please take your seat."
"Selena if you please, professor." Selena called stubbornly, as she sunk into a seat next to Hermione. A grin spread across Snape's face, as sharp as nails. "Selenity was the name of one of the most famous dark witches of our time, Miss, and the founder of Slytherins daughter. Do you do her a disservice by refusing her name?" All eyes turned towards her, most of them from the "Snake house." as she liked to call it. Selena winced. Snape had given a clear clue to who she was, but if she denied it, she would make enemies on her first day………
She sighed. "No sir, I just have always gone by Selena." Snape walked close to her. "Selenity it is then." He leaned down to her face level. "And might I say, you have the most unusual eye color I have ever seen…."
Selena gasped and caught her reflection in the glare of a dusty mirror. The hazel color she had enchanted her irises with to make their color more subtle was fading away, almost like water was running against it and washing the spell away. Left in its place were two brilliantly colored eyes, the bright color of silver stars.
Selena tried to shut her eyes, to try to keep the color from the rest of the students. Everyone watched as she rushed from the room under Snape's grin, but no one saw the color of her eyes or made the connection.
No one but one certain person that got up to follow her to the bathroom…………

"Come on, Come on." Ten minuets later had Selena tapping her forehead, trying to cast the spell to turn her eyes back to their calm hazel hue. But no matter what she tried, the silver hue of her blood line, gleamed out at her from her own head.
She sighed and slide to the floor of the girl's bathroom. She shot up when the door crashed open with a bang.
Standing in the door way, her follower stared at her. "I want some answers here." The shadow paused "Selenity Salai Potter."
