Lily was so proud of being a Slytherin, but she hated that Rose, her darling cousin, wasn't in her house. She cornered her that first night, catching her in the moonlight filtering through one of the castle's large windows.

"Of course." There wasn't so much as a shadow of doubt in Rose's voice. "You heard the sorting hat, didn't you? The houses are stronger when they're united. Isn't that right?" She twined her fingers together, smiling. "We'll show our families that it doesn't matter."
