CHAPTER FOUR

"What?" Audrina turned her attention back to her cousin.

"What were you looking at?" He asked, looking at the window. It was then that he saw the hooded figure. "Who the bloody hell is out there this late at night? And during the feast no less."

"I don't know…" Audrina said slowly as the dark figure disappeared into the Forbidden Forest.

A half hour later, the students were dismissed to head to their common rooms and head to bed. Audrina and Zane followed the other sixteen and seventeen year olds out of the Great Hall, through the Entrance Hall, and down the many flights of stairs until they were on the bottom floor. They went through a portrait that transported them into the dungeon instead of going all the way through the castle to the main entrance to the dungeons.

The upperclassman common room was beautiful, but very familiar. She had grown up with the same fashion since she was born. The silver and emerald banners, black leather furniture with dark oak tables, all of it was familiar. Audrina walked through the common room, on the edge of the group of the students. She had always thought that Hogwarts would be a mystery, something to be discovered. But so far, it was everything that she had grown up with.

She sat down on a chair, staring into the burning coals of the fireplace. Seconds passed, maybe even minutes, and when Audrina looked up, she was the only one in the room.

"When did they go to bed?" she asked aloud, sighing softly. She stood up and started to head up the stairs when the portrait hole opened.

Steven walked in, looking tired as ever. "Steven?" Audrina asked incredulously, backtracking back down the stairs and walking towards him. "Where were you?"

"Audrina! I thought you would have gone to bed already," he looked guiltily down towards the floor.

"I was just about to…" she said, seeing the long black cloak over his arm. "It was you," she realized. "You were going into the Forbidden Forest during the feast. I saw you through the window."

Steven was wide eyed as he looked back up at her. "Please, don't tell anyone!" He said, a hint of hysteria in his voice.

"I can't tell anyone something I don't exactly know about, Steven," she said, looking up at him.

"Are you insinuating that I tell you why I was in the forest?" He smirked.

"I might be," Audrina bit her lip, looking at him through her long eyelashes.

"Well I'm not that easy. And I'm going to bed," he said and walked past her and to the stairs. Audrina frowned at his back but he didn't stop his trek up the stairs and to the boys dorm room.

Audrina stood there for a minute before walked up to the girl's dorm. She put her nightgown on and tucked into her canopy topped bed, the silver satin sheets soft on her bare legs and arms. She sighed softly, closing her eyes.

Tomorrow would be different, better, hopefully. She would meet other students, make plenty of friends. Within a few minutes, taking deep breaths, she fell asleep.

Audrina woke up in the morning, bright sunshine shining into her face. She yawned softly and sat up, stretching her arms. She looked around the dorm room; every bed was full so that meant that it was pretty early in the morning.

She swung her legs from under the covers and stood up. She opened her trunk up and pushed some of the clothes around, grabbing her toiletry bag and headed to the bathroom.

A half hour later, Audrina walked back into the dorm room, everyone still asleep. She believed that it was just about six in the morning, maybe even earlier. She was completely cleaned up, teeth brushed and all. She grabbed a skirt and white blouse and gray sweater vest from the top of her trunk and walked back into the bathroom, putting them on then coming back out. Still no one awake. "God, these people sleep like rocks," she scoffed. She pulled her school robes on and did her makeup, looking into the silver framed hand mirror that her mother had given to her on her thirteenth birthday.

She walked out of the dorm room, slinging her book bag, filled with her books, parchment, and quills with ink. Down in the common room, there were a few people there, getting acquainted with each other. However, Audrina headed straight for her cousin.

"I knew you would wake up early," he laughed lightly, patting the seat next to him. She sat down, getting comfortable and putting her bag on the floor next to her feet. "I don't want to meet new people," she whined, frowning up at him.

"Stop your bellyaching. This is a new year, and there are hundreds of people that you will meet, whether you like them or not. So stand up, look like the Riddle you are, and don't let anyone intimidate you, however…" he smirked. "I think when the students find out you're the Dark Lord's daughter, they'll be the ones intimidated."

Audrina frowned again and nodded slightly. "Okay, let's go to breakfast and meet new people!" she tried to act excited.
