A/N: THIS IS A REVISED CHAPTER!
Caprice smiles as she laughed with her friends. They were about to start the Feast in the Great Hall now.
"So how was your summer?"
"Long and boring. Just spent it at home with Christi." She shrugged, "We did go to Dublin for a visit to a friend, and then we went to Greece for about two days."
"Sounds exciting."
"Not really. My family's terrible. And all Christi wanted to talk about Malfoy this… Malfoy that. It got annoying after a while."
"Wait your sister likes Malfoy! She actually likes him!" Angelina says shocked.
"I didn't say that." Caprice smiled, knowing not to give away such a big part of Christi's personal life.
"But didn't you just say all she did was talk about him all summer?"
"Yes, but not what about. You just assumed." She smirks.
"Alright so what had your sister talking about him all summer?"
"About how much he annoys the her."
"Who doesn't he annoy?" Patricia asks, clearly disgusted.
Over at the Slytherin table, Daphne was asking, "How was your summer?"
"Boring. Like always." Christi shrugged.
Dumbledore stands to get attention.
"Good evening everyone and welcome back to a new school year and welcome incoming first years! This year is a very special year! Not only will we be housing all of you but as well as two other schools this year as we are hosting the Triwizard Tournament this year!" he says.
Dumbledore starts explaining the rules saying that anyone seventeen and older can join the tournament.
Caprice and all her friends get excited as she can join the tournament as she was seventeen and just turned seventeen in August.
"So your sister can join. Do you think she is?" Pansy asks.
"Maybe. I don't know. She might just to get our parents to come out to support her as they're always really busy." Christi says.
She sits there worried for the rest of the day evening for her sister not wanting her to get hurt if she enters this contest.
"Sitting there fantasizing over me Love?" comes a voice. It pulled Christi from her thoughts.
"Go away Malfoy and no I wasn't fantasizing over you and I never will." She says. She was lying about the last part as she had a few times. Just imagining what it would be like to snog him but she would never tell him that. It would just add to his ego.
"I'd say you were." He says, sitting himself between her and Millicent.
"Shove off Malfoy and go and sit with your two goons."
The feast ends a little later and everyone heads out. Christi runs up to her sister and stops her.
"Hey are you thinking about entering?" Christi asks her sister.
"Yea it seems pretty cool and going into history books. But don't worry there's a slim chance I'll get picked." She says.
"Yea I know but I'm still gonna worry your my sister after all."
The two part ways and Christi gets to her room that she shares with Pansy, Daphne, Millicent and Tracey.
"Hey look at your bed." Pansy says. Christi looks at her bed and sees a white bunny sitting in a cage with a card. She grabs the card and she reads it.
"Here's a bunny for you as I know you love them. I hope you like him.
Love, Your secret admirer" She reads it aloud. She smiles and she opens the cage and takes the bunny out. "He's so soft! What should I name him? He has blue eyes." Christi says sitting on her bed putting the bunny in her lap and scratching him.
"How about Draco." Pansy teased.
Christi scowled at her and says, "How do you know Malfoy sent it?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Millicent asks, "He's the only one who knew your love of rabbits besides us."
"And my sister. She could have sent it."
"It had to be Malfoy. He's the only one who could have gotten in here without alerting any of the professors and Dumbledore. Besides its sweet. He's making an effort." Daphne coos.
"He doesn't have one good bone in his body and if he does it's so incredibly small like the stirrup bone in the ear!" Christi says still trying to think of a name for her bunny.
"What about Sapphire? For his bright blue eyes?" Tracey suggests.
"Hey I like that!" Christi says.

Walking into their room, Caprice, Angelina, Alicia and Patricia walk in and see all their stuff by their beds. It was after the feast and in their dormitories.
"I can't believe that there's no Quidditch this year!" Angelina complains.
"There's always next year." Caprice sighs. She was just as upset, but she didn't show her emotions on petty things like this. "Plus it's the Tournament. And I can enter my name… Angelina, you can, and Patricia… In three weeks you can!"
"Not a good chance we'll get picked though." Angeline grumbles.
"So what's going on with you and the Weasley boys?" Alicia asks Caprice.
"Nothing, what do you mean?"
"You were flirting with them both like crazy at dinner." Patricia says.
"No I wasn't! It was just playful banter with them!" she says.
"Sure. Do you fancy either of them?" Alicia asks.
"Of course not! They're just my best friends, for Merlin's sakes!"
"Sure, which one is it that you fancy?" Patricia asks.
"NEITHER ONE!" she snaps.
"Oh come on. Both are good looking and have different quirks about them. If you ask me I think you like George." Angelina declares.
"I don't fancy either one of them! They've been my best friends since first year like you guys!"
"But now they're something more!" Alicia smirks.
"Ugh! I'm going downstairs." Caprice says, standing up.
"To see George, no doubt!" Angelina teased. She heads down into the common room and sees Fred down there.
"Hey, Caprice." he greets her, "Come here and see this. George and I are working one something to get into the Tournament."
"You are too young." Caprice reprimanded.
"That's why we're creating an Aging Potion to trick the Age Line Dumbledore's gonna draw."
Caprice laughed and says, "How delinquent!"
They sit there and start talking and joking around with each other. They head off to bed a few hours later and Caprice lies there in bed thinking about her feelings for both of the twins. Lately she had been gaining feelings for Fred more and George she just saw him as a brother but she had been gaining feelings for Fred.

The next morning, Caprice was sitting at the table, picking at her breakfast absentmindedly and slightly frazzled. Christi comes over and sits next to her.
"So I have a huge problem and I need your help." Christi says as she made herself a plate then adds, "You help me with my problem I'll help you with yours. Deal? Like old times?"
"I don't have a problem." Caprice lied, "But I'll help. Sure."
"Sure you don't, but whatever. Okay last night when I got back to my dorm there was a bunny in a cage sitting on my bed. Only you, Pansy, Daphne, Millicent and Tracey know about my love for rabbits. There was this note attached to the cage." She says handing her the note then continues, "According to them Malfoy sent it to me. Just tell me did you send it? Because if Malfoy sent it I'm giving it back no matter how cute and soft he is. I mean if this is some sick joke from him just to get me into bed I don't want it. What should I do? I mean I really like him but ugh! I'm so confused!"
"Firstly, you're fourteen. No one's going to bed you at this age. Promise me, if it wasn't happening for me, it's not happening for you. And second… I'm no handwriting expert." Caprice says after reading the note.
"But?" Christi encouraged.
"But nothing. I'm no handwriting expert, so I can't determine who sent this. It wasn't me; you don't know who it was. Just keep it. It's a bunny."
"You bet I'm keeping that bunny. He's so cute!"
"So what's your first class?" Caprice asks.
"Transfiguration. You?"
"Double Potions. I love starting my Mondays off with a good dose of grease."
"Damn two hours with Snape. So early. I have Double Potions tomorrow afternoon after lunch."
"Fun. Just don't fall asleep like last year."
"Not my fault! He just drones on aimlessly and I'm pretty sure if I get paired with Malfoy he'll make sure I stay awake. He really needs to leave me alone. I am getting close to hexing his nads off or that thing will happen and we definitely don't want that or secrets out! So what is your problem? I can tell you have one."
"I think I'm falling in love with Fred." She mutters.
"NO WAY! Pansy owes me five galleons!" Christi giggles.
"NOT FUNNY!"
"Oh, come on. Fred is the perfect guy for you! He likes the real you!" Christi says, having some of the bacon she placed on her plate.
"That's Gryffindor bacon." Caprice teased, but continued, "He's friends with the real me. He doesn't like me like that… I can't believe you bet on my love life."
"Bacon is bacon and I have a source in Gryffindor who will not be named who says he likes you likes you. So what." Christi says smiling drinking some orange juice.
"The-Source-Who-Will-Not-Be-Named? Sounds like He-Who-Mustn't-Be-Named… The Dark Lord."
"I can't believe you call him that."
"What's the point? He's vanquished now. Completely gone."
"I don't know. Something tells me the complete opposite. But I promised not to name my source. Now just and flirt it up with Fred. Now I have to go and find Pansy and get my five galleons oh and get my three galleons from R… my source!" she says getting up and gathering her stuff before grabbing a few pieces of toast and bacon.
Caprice mulled the 'R' over for a few minutes, then exclaims, "Ron!"
"I never says Ron!" Christi yells as Caprice ran off to go and find Ron.
Christi stuff her food in her mouth and runs off to find Ron before her sister does.
Finding Ron heading toward Divination with Harry and Hermione she grabs him.
"Ron!" she yells running up to trio.
"What?" he asks.
"She figured out you're my source! Caprice found out! Avoid her at all costs!"
"Ronald!" Caprice says coming up.
"Crap." Christi mutters.
"What's up?" he asks.
"Is it true of what you told Christi? That Fred likes me likes me?" she asks.
"I swore I wouldn't tell." He says.
Fred had only given him permission to tell his closest friends and that was Harry, Hermione and Christi. The four of them had become close friends despite Christi being a Slytherin.
Caprice shrugged, "Well that means yes. Thank you very much, both of you." she says with a satisfied smirk. As she walked away though, they saw her stop. "Damn it!"
"What?" Christi asks.
"NOTHING!" Caprice snaps then continues walking.
Christi stood there shocked at her sister snapping at her.
"Hey I gotta go to Transfiguration. I'll see you guys later a lunch." Christi says heading to Transfiguration. Getting there she goes over to the bulletin board to see who her partner was for the class. She goes down the list and she hopes that she has one of her roommates as a partner.
Christina S. Venizelos and Draco L. Malfoy
"No!" she groans leaning her head against the bulletin board. She looks up and sees McGonagall walking into the room in her animagus form of a tabby cat. She waits for her to change then looks at her. "Professor can I ask you something please?"
"Go ahead Miss. Venizelos."
"Is it possible for me to have a different partner for class? I mean I see enough of Malfoy during the day and Professor Snape always pairs us together for Potions and he's always annoying me. Can I have Pansy as a partner? Her and I work better together and I can help her in class with the spells. And not to mention he's really getting on my nerves since the train ride here and I already want to hex him."
"I'm sorry Miss. Venizelos but I can't switch your partner if I did it for you I would have to do it for everyone."
Christi sighs defeated.
"Okay Professor." She sighs going and taking a seat.
Everyone files and looks at the list for their partners and then they all go take their seats and Draco goes and sits next to her.
"Hello Love." He says.
"Shut up." She growls.
"You know we could be one of the hottest couples in school." He says.
"Mr. Malfoy, enough chatting and pay attention!" McGonagall reprimands.
"And also I have a boyfriend back in Renfrewshire." Christi whispers, "He'd beat the snot out of you if he just happens to find out that you're hitting on me repeatedly after me telling you to stop." She lies through her teeth hoping her would back off.
"Pure-blood?"
"Muggle and he plays futball and he's a lot bigger than you. He can and will mess up your face if you keep hitting on me." She lies again.
She was technically lying. She has a muggle guy friend who did play futball. They just weren't dating. But no one had to know that. She would do anything to keep her crush off her back. After thinking that, Christi thought it sounded very ridiculous. But she understood even if no one else did.
