Chapter 4.

"Oooph's" she said as land on her rear end losing her notebook and Liam land across her body. 'Boy he's heavy but hand… No don't go there Maria.' She thought to herself. She blushed deep cherry red color.

"It's ok Liam," said Maria gently getting off the ground. "I didn't see you nor did you see me. I am sorry about my brother Thomas. I don't know what has gotten into him lately." She smile at Liam. "You don't have to."

Liam would be surprised to learn Maria never had a boyfriend. Her brother and his friends had made sure of that. Not that she wants one. She knew of the jocks tease each other to ask her out but they always run scared when Thomas ran into them. Maria knew her brother was just trying to protect her but Thomas over did it sometimes.

"Back to the Ravenclaw claw come on," she said simple. "Are you mad? Me in the same house has my moody brother forget it. I would have killed him before we finished our first term here. I already want to kill him." She stood with her arms across showing a silver bracelet with her name engraved in it.

She blushed when she caught him staring at her again. Maria knew she was a very pretty girl; she wonders if he looking at her as a person or because of her veela blood. "Please don't stare," she said. "I get enough of that outside the house." Maria's hair was longer then it appeared because of the ringlets. She truly did not see the beauty everyone else saw; Maria didn't see how her smile reaches her eyes or when her ideas in her mind her eyes turn to Crystal Sea blue color.
