Marie was sitting alone in the Slytherin common room when a little boy with blonde hair approached. "Excuse me." He said.

"Yeah? Can I help you?" Marie asked, not looking up from her new potions book.

"I was wondering if you could tell me where the loo is?" he asked.

"Well they aren't in here; you'll have to exit the common room."

The boy nodded.

"Then you head towards the entrance hallway. Once you get there, turn right, and then turn left. It will be on your right if you go the right way." Explained Marie. She didn't know why she was telling him to go to this lavatory, but it just popped in her mind.

The blonde boy looked at her like she was speaking parseltongue. "Ok, look lady; I have no idea what you just said." He suddenly looked less cute than he did before.

"okay then… I'll show you, I guess…" she said, pulling the boy towards Professor Snape's quarters. The door opened before she even knocked.

The professor looked down his long nose at Marie and the boy. "What do you need?"

"uhm… I just wanted to get permission to lead him to the lavatory; he doesn't know where it is…"

The man nodded and swept past without another word and looking very sour.

Marie pulled the boy out of the dungeons and towards the facilities. "'Kay, kid, what's your name?"

"Draco, Draco Malfoy." The child answered with a smirk. Marie rolled her eyes. She knew he was trying to impress her with his so-called important family name. It wasn't working at all. Marie didn't care about that superficial pure-blood crap at all.

A/N - mary: sorry this one's so short… the next chapter is quite long. We already have the entire story written out in a notebook, and that wasn't split into chapters. We only decided to publish this a little while ago. So the chapters are all different lengths…

Victoria: Yeah, well, kinda my fault for ending it abruptly. ^.^
