I regretted not eating much during dinner as my stomach growled at me. It was hard for me to do because I am the type of girl that loves to eat. I couldn't eat for two reasons: 1) I had just gotten publicly called out by the headmaster and 2) I had the world famous Viktor Krum sitting next to me! I didn't want to seem like a pig in front of him. I mentally groaned as I walked behind Malfoy, making sure I didn't lose sight of him again.

I followed Malfoy silently to the Slytherin common room, memorizing every corridor we went down and turn we took. Apparently, we were in the dungeons? Creepy much? I just observed as we walked down to the cellars and stopped at a random wall. Malfoy muttered the words "Pure-blood" and a passage was revealed. We all filed in and were lead into a dungeon-like room furnished in green, black, and silver. It had a fireplace, leather couches, tables, skulls, bookcases, and wooden cupboards. It doesn't sound like much, but it was quite grand. As we completely entered, we were met by none other than the head of house himself.

"Girls' dormitiory is up to the left and boys' is the same to the right." Sev said with his usual grim expression. " If you have any questions or concerns, take them to your prefects," he gestured to two upperclassmen beside him." Is that clear?"

No one answered. He then turned and headed for the passage.

"Miss Snape, I would like to see you in my office." Sev added.

I hung my head and sighed. "Yes sir." I followed Sev out of the common room to a small room a couple of corridors down. The room was dimly-lit and a bit depressing. There were tons of shelves with large jars filled with who-knows-what lining the walls and a cupboard in a corner where he probably kept his potions. The only furniture in there was a table, desk, and a couple of chairs. Sev sat down and gestured me to sit in a chair across from him.

"So, what did you need me for?" I asked, my eyes wandering once more. And for some reason, they kept going back to the jars filled with the unknown.

Sev sat back and smiled. "Nothing really. I just wanted to ask how everything is so far."

"Oh, everything is just peachy!" I exclaimed in a sickenly sweet tone. "Except for the fact that I was just publicly embarrassed in front of the whole school! Was that even necessary?" I slammed my hands onto the table in frustration.

Sev coughed to cover up a laugh. I don't know why he does that because it never works. "I just wanted everyone to know who you were and for you to get a proper introduction since you weren't around for the sorting."

"People would know who I am by my name, obviously" I rolled my eyes. "And now the whole lot of them will think that I'm going to get special attention or something, which I am right?"

It was Sev's turn to roll his eyes. "You most likely have already mastered most of what you will be taught this year, Belle. You're probably ahead of everyone in your year and maybe even the next."

"What will you be teaching this year?"

"Potions. But, you don't have to worry. You have done all of these potions with me already." He assured.

"Yay! Easy year for me!" I exclaimed getting up from the seat. Maybe even tutor people. Ooh and even some upperclassmen! I smiled happily to myself at those thoughts.

"Is that all you wanted to talk about?" Sev nodded and I turned and headed for the door. I stopped and looked at him. "Oh Sev? Will you do something for me?"

"Of course." He answered.

"Scare Malfoy for me. He needs to know that I'm in charge and should be treated as such." I smirked evilly.

Sev chuckled and got up from his chair. I waited outside his door for him. We both walked silently to the wall and I said "Pure-blood" I absolutely loathe that password. Just because most Slytherin are pure-blood doesn't mean that every frickin one is! Exhibit A: yours truly. Exhibit B: Sev. And he's head of the house. As Sev and I entered the common room, all eyes went on us. Sev had his usual sneer and I had my infamous seductive yet sweet smirk on my face.

"Malfoy," Sev called.

Everyone's attention went from us to Malfoy who was sitting on a couch with Pansy and his goons across from him. I narrowed my eyes at the sight of his arm around Pansy. But quickly straightened up when he turned his head towards us. He had a completely horrified expression on his face. He got up and walked over to Sev.

'Yes, S-Sir" He stuttered. I had to keep myself from laughing at how frightened he was.

"My office, now" Sev commanded and stormed out. Draco scurried after and I followed behind them.

As soon as the entrance was covered and I was sure we were out of ear shot, I burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Draco sneered.

"Your face!" I clenched my stomach from laughing so hard that I was starting to not be able to breathe. "You were so scared! It was priceless!" I leaned against a wall to help support myself. That was great! I love Sev so much for doing that for me. I wiped the tears from under my eyes. I sighed to gain my breath and straightened up. "Thanks Sev."

"What?" Draco jerked his head towards Sev so fast that I thought he would get whiplash. "Professor, what is she talking about?"

Sev winked at me. "I have no idea, Mr. Malfoy."

I ran and gave Sev a huge hug. "Thanks again, Sev. You just made my night a whole lot better." He smiled down at me as I pulled away. "Bye, Malfoy." I smirked as I passed him. He scowled and I just strutted away. Before I was out of hearing range, I heard:

"Come, Malfoy" Sev called.

"But, I thought this was all a joke?" Malfoy questioned nervously.

"Not really. I don't joke around."

I giggled as I turned a corner. I made my way down to the courtyards swiftly and silently. As I walked outside I saw Hermione, Harry, and Ron standing next to a pillar waiting.

"Hey guys" I smiled cheerfully.

"What are you so happy about?" Harry asked.

"If you must know, I just got Malfoy embarrassed in front of the whole house. Nothing big" I shrugged.

The trio laughed heavily.

'How did you manage to do that?" Hermione laughed wiping her eyes.

"It wasn't that hard. I just had Sev call him out in front of everyone as if he were in trouble." The event replayed in my head and I started laughing. "You should've seen his face! It was hilarious!"

"I wish I could have seen that" Ron shook his head.

"Yeah. Umm, I didn't expect that welcoming ceremony to last so long and now it is almost curfew. How about we meet up tomorrow morning? I don't think they will have classes tomorrow to make sure everyone is settled in and comfortable." Hermione informed us.

Aww, I didn't want to head to bed yet. But, I didn't want to get in trouble on my first night. So, I gave them each a hug and bid them goodnight. We parted ways when we got to the enchanted staircases. As I slowly walked with my head down, I accidently ran into someone. I was pushed back and fell on my bum.

"Ouch!" I tried to stand up and was met with a hand. I looked up and it was Cedric Diggory.

He smiled sweetly. "Are you alright?"

I blushed. "Yeah, I'm fine. Can't say the same about my bum though." I looked down and rubbed it gently.

"I'm sorry about that" He chuckled lightly. He quickly glanced at it, but I pretended not to notice. He shook his head, trying to clear his mind. "I should've been watching-"

"No! It was totally my fault. I was the one not paying attention to where I was walking." I looked down and noticed that Cedric still had a hold of my hand. He noticed that as well and quickly let go. We stepped away from each other a bit.

"So, why are you out here at this time? Isn't it almost curfew?" I asked, trying to break the awkward silence.

"Oh. Umm...I'm a prefect so I have to patrol and make sure everyone is in their common room by curfew." He placed a hand on the back of his head.

He was just too cute! The way he gets nervous and smiles that gorgeous smile. He's sort of awkward, but I can just wave that away. He's very chivalrous and doesn't let the girl take the blame. He knew very well that I was the one who wasn't watching where I was going. I shook my head smiling. I looked up and saw him watching me. I'd totally forgotten that he was right there in front of my face.

I flinched lightly. "Oh. Well, I better be going. Don't want to be caught wandering after curfew." I started to turn around when I felt a hand grab my arm. As quickly as I felt it, it was gone.

"Sorry. But, umm, I'll walk you."

I smiled and grabbed his hand. Even though the dungeons weren't far, Cedric walked me down to the entrance. The whole walk was silent, but not awkward. Well, at least not to me. When we were only a turn away, we slowed to a stop.

I looked up at Cedric's gorgeous face and blushed. "Thanks for walking me. It is kind of creepy down here." I forced myself to shiver.

"No problem," Cedric smiled down at me. When he just kept looking at me, I started to get self conscious.

""Well, good night then."

I started to turn around and leave when I noticed that Cedric didn't let go of my hand. I turned to him and he unexpectedly pulled me to him and embraced me in his arms. I looked up at him to say something when I was met with his lips. My eyes widened when I realized what was happening. I pulled away quickly and stepped back from him.

"I-I'm sorry. I don't know what came into me."

I waited a few seconds for my mind to catch up with everything. When everything registered, I looked back at Cedric. I didn't say anything and walked back up to him.

"Serefina, I-"

I cut him off with another kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he put his arms around my waist. I pulled myself closer to him, deepening the pulled away slowly after a couple of seconds. I didn't look at him for I knew I was blushing furiously. I hadn't been kissed like that for a long time. I couldn't even remember when that was.

"It's passed curfew. You should be heading to bed." Chills immediately went down my spine when I felt his warm breath against my ear.

I tried to pull away, but he wouldn't let me go. Didn't he just say I needed to go to bed? What was wrong? Was he trying to get me caught by Sev?

A finger tilted my chin up and I was met by a pair of lips once more. This kiss was quicker than the previous, so I figured this was the last of the night.

"Good night," I felt Cedric slowly pull away.

"Good night," I whispered. With a finger on my lips, I watched him walk away. Once he disappeared around a corner, I walked to the common room. I whispered "Pure-blood" and walked in thinking.

Did that just happen?

I was pulled from my thoughts by myself falling on my bum AGAIN.

"Pay attention to where you're going, Snape"

I looked up into the cold eyes of Malfoy.

"Where have you been anyway? It's way passed curfew. What? Were you off snogging with some bloke?" He taunted.

I looked at him saying nothing. All of a sudden his gray eyes were filled with anger and surprise.

"You were, weren't you?" Did I hear a hint of jealousy in his voice?

I smirked up at him and folded my arms. "What's it to you?

"Nothing at all! Why would it matter to me what you do?" He sneered.

As fast as it appeared, the rage and anger left and the usual coldness in Malfoy's eyes returned. I knew what I saw and I would not let him forget it.

"Whatever Malfoy," I looked around realizing I was still on the ground. "Aren't you going to help me up?"

At first, I didn't think he would help me until he reached down extending his arm. I grabbed onto his hand and he slowly pulled me up. As I was almost up, Malfoy let go of me and I lost my balance. I fell for the third time in that hour, but this time I landed hard. I jumped up and rubbed my bum gently.

"Need help with that?"

I glared straight into those taunting, gray eyes. Any trace of those jealous feelings were gone. At that moment, I decided to have a little fun before bed. I stood up slowly and put my sexy face on. I glided over to Malfoy throwing my hips into my walk. I stopped when my face was only inches from his. I slid my hand down his arm to his hand and pulled it against my thigh and hitched my leg to his waist. Malfoy looked down, his eyes widened with surprise. I wrapped an arm around his neck and played with his hair. Malfoy sighed and I felt him quiver a bit. I knew he was trying his best to keep his composure.

"You wanted to help? So, do it." I whispered in his ear. He stood there frozen. I knew why. "That's what I thought." I pulled away and laughed. "Good night, Malfoy." I turned around and headed to the dormitories, leaving Malfoy standing there with blue balls.
