Abby and Hermione found Ron a few minutes before dinner. He was smiling and just beside himself. Truth be told he looked like he was off his rocker. "RON!" they shouted. He looked up and waved. "Hey what's up?"

"What's up? What's up! How about the fact that McGonagall took you away after diving for Hermione's things today," said Abby. That seemed to bring Ron back down to reality. "Oh yeah well I'm not supposed to say anything but, I'm the new Gryffindor seeker. Abby and Hermione knew how important that would be to Ron. He had five older brothers and a lot to live up to. For him to be able to become a seeker first year was a big stepping stone for him.

Abby smiled and hugged Ron, while Hermione shook his hand. "That's Great," they said. Just then Fred and George came up and clapped a hand on each of his shoulders. "Great job Ron, Oliver told us at our Quidditch meeting today," Said George. "And we told Percy. He couldn't wait to tell mum and dad, so he just sent off a letter," said Fred.

As they ate dinner Draco came walking up to where Hermione and Ron were sitting at the Gryffindor table and Abby was sitting sideways at the Slytherin table. "Enjoying your last meal Weasley," drawled Draco. Abby had, had enough. She stood up and faced him while pointing a finger at him. "Shove off Malfoy. For your information you act all rich and like you own this place, but it may have escaped your notice, but you don't. In fact, I think most of the students here think you are a toe rag." The entire hall went quiet. The Malfoys had a lot of power and no one had ever stood up so defensively towards them.

"you think you're so cool Potter because you're the girl who lived?"

"No, I don't in fact I would give anything to have my mum and dad with me again. I never wanted them to die!"

Abby shoved Draco over as she exited the hall. Deciding she didn't want to go back to her room she wandered the halls. She took stair case after staircase, lefts and rights, and hallways until she was good and lost. Abby decided to open the door to find out where she was, but it wouldn't budge.

"ABIGAIL!"

Abby looked over her shoulder to see Professor Snape running towards her. "Professor." "What are you doing this is the forbidden corridor. I don't want to see you here again." "Sorry. I didn't realize where I was." Snape escorted Abby back to the Slytherin Common room. Upon entering she was greeted by not only Draco but most of the Slytherin house. Abby tried to head over to the hall that led to her room, but a hand shot out. As she looked up she saw it was Marcus Flint the quidditch captain. "May I help you," she said icily.

"That scene you created at dinner was unnecessary. Slytherins pride themselves at standing above the squabbles of a three-year-old," said Marcus.

The Slytherins all murmured in agreement. "You and Draco have issues to sort out. Slytherin house has deemed you unworthy until you figure out what you need to." Abby looked like she wanted to object, but upon seeing Dracos' face decided better of it. "Flora will be showing you to the guest quarters that the two of you will share as your own house until you can figure out your problems." All the Slytherins save for Flora, Draco, and Abby disappeared.

"You will have five minutes to gather what you like from your rooms. After you finish meet me in the entrance hall. Abby went and picked up her school bag. In her room she flipped through her charms textbook to find what she was looking for. In chapter seven it explained how to expand your bag.

"Capacious extremis"

Abby started to put all her books and what she needed for clothes in there. The last thing she grabbed was her photo albums and her wands. She walked up the stairs from the dungeon to the entrance hall to see Flora and Malfoy waiting for her.

"Took you long enough Potter," drawled Malfoy.

"Enough Draco! This is what we are all concerned about. This is deeper than normal inter house rivalry," stated Flora Carrow. The two followed her up to the seventh floor to a portrait of a young girl. "Password?" said the portrait. "Lilies bloom." The portrait swung aside to reveal a smaller common room. "This will be your dorm for however long it takes. Draco your room is on the left, Abigail yours is on the right."

Flora left and the two glared at each other. "This is all your fault you know," he said. "My fault! You've been causing problems for me since I got here. You call my friends blood traitors and mud bloods. How do you think I feel when I hear that?" Abby turned around and walked to her new room. She sat down at her vanity and opened her history of magic book. The homework wasn't due until Halloween, but with how angry she was she needed something to cool her off.

By the next morning almost everyone had heard what happened to Draco and Abby. Even the teachers seemed willing to try and help by placing them next to each other which forced them to be partners. At lunchtime Abby was talking to Ron and Hermione how infuriating Draco was when a parcel came for Ron with a note. The note read:

DO NOT OPEN THE PARCEL AT THE TABLE

It contains a new Nimbus Two Thousand. This is not charity as I know how your family feels about that. This is simply a gift for being the youngest Seeker in a century.

Professor McGonagall

Ron had trouble as he was happy to have his own broom. The next few weeks went by in a blur. Abby and Draco had an unspoken agreement to spend as little time as possible together. It was early on the 31st of October when Abby decided to bring her photo album down to the common room and look at it while sitting by the fire. She must have been looking at it for a while because Draco made her jump.

"What are you looking at Potter?" Abby sighed. She had been in this temporary dorm for nearly six weeks. "Draco for the love of Merlin can't we figure something out? Unless you want to spend the next seven years in this dorm away from your friends." Draco seemed to weigh the options but eventually sat down. "Alright so what do we do?" he asked. "Well first off why do you hate me so much?"

"It's not so much that I hate you as who you're friends with."

"Would it be different if they were in our house?" "Well of course they would be Slytherin," said Draco. Abby stood up and folded her arms angrily. "See that's what makes me so angry. You and everyone in Slytherin is so Prejudice." Draco stood up so red in the face he could challenge a Weasley. "Hey! We're not all that bad if you would give us a chance. For example, Daphne Greengrass and Lily Moon are girls in our year. They wanted to get to know you, but you never gave us a chance. You claim were Prejudice. Take a look in the mirror Abigail Potter!" screamed Draco.

Abby was so stunned. She had never thought of it that way, but he was right. She had been claiming all Slytherins to be prejudice when she herself had judged them without giving them a chance. Abby held up her hands to get him to listen. "Look I'm sorry how about this. We start over and you give my friends a chance. If you do that I'll give Slytherins a chance. Deal?" asked Abby. She held out her hand and he took it. The two left the dorm. As Abby and Draco entered the great hall an explosion of sparks exploded above their heads. They smiled at each other as Marcus and Flora walked towards them.

"It seems you have taken care of whatever was bothering you?" asked Flora.

They nodded happily. "Then your punishment is over. You may return to the house dorm," said Marcus. As Draco went to sit with his friends Abby sat across from Lily and Daphne. "Hi, I never properly introduced myself I'm Abigail." The two girls stopped and stared at her. "You actually want to talk to us?" asked Daphne. "Yea I'm sorry I didn't before I believed something about Slytherins that I shouldn't have. Do you think we could be friends?" Lily smiled and nodded as did Daphne. Abby looked down the table to see Draco smiling back at her. She had kept her side of the deal and she couldn't wait to see if Draco kept his side.
