WC: 796
A few days later, the Slytherin first years dorm woke up in a tizzy.
"Who caused this?" the main target Clive Smith said.
His roommates shrugged as they got up and did their usual routines and walked down to the common room.
"It looks like you were pranked by the notorious Weasley twins," an older Slytherin said.-/-/-
"Why what did I do to them?"
The older Slytherin replied. "They have a thing against Slytherins like everyone else does in this bloody schoo-/-/l except for Snape. Though, part of me doesn't blame them because we are the most racist house."
"My friend Amber doesn't have a thing against Slytherins!"
"Of course, she's a mudblood she's naive about the world and her place."
Tim glared at Clive and exclaimed. "Don't call her that, she was my first friend!"
"Well, she is one. That's why you shouldn't hang out with her. You need to live up to Slytherin's reputation. How can you consider her a friend you barely talked to her on the trip to Hogwarts?"
Tim just huffed and walked out of the common room. He made his way towards the Hufflepuff common room maybe Amber will talk to him this time but he's not very optimistic. He made it as far as the barrels because he didn't know the tune to tap them to.
It was the first Quidditch match of the season, it was Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. Amber was dragged out to the Pitch by Katie reluctantly. She didn't mind the Gryffindors but she rather not support the team who doesn't like muggle borns.
"Oh, Amber. This is Cormac McLaggen. He's in our year and a Gryffindor," Katie introduced.
She looked over to a boy with sandy brown hair and brown eyes.
"Charmed, I'm sure."
Amber sat down between them. Dora joined them to support Charlie who was the seeker. She didn't know much about Quidditch but she knew Katie thought the captain and keeper, Oliver Wood, was cute. She has to agree in a way. The match soon ended. Gryffindor lost much to the team's disappointment especially Oliver's and Charlie's.

It was now a month later, Amber was in Defense when she was passed a note from Tim.
Hey, do you think we could talk after class?
I suppose.
They finished class and Tim met Amber outside of class.
"What do you have to say for yourself, Selwyn?" Amber asked harshly, crossing her thin arms.
"I'm an idiot."
"Go on," she said.
Tim sighed and said. "My parents don't believe in that blood purity stuff. I'll introduce them to you when we go home for the holidays to prove it."
"Then why did you avoid me ever since you were sorted into Slytherin?"
"I wanted to fit in I suppose. I'm sorry but the minute Clive called you a mudblood I couldn't take it, I went off on him."
"That's not the first time he's called me a mudblood," Amber sighed.
"When was the first time?"
Amber explained everything and Tim now understood why Clive had been the target of the prank. She hadn't exactly forgiven him yet though.

It was now time to go home for the holidays. Amber was in her compartment with Dora, Charlie and Melissa when Tim walked in hesitantly.
"Hey Tim,"she greeted.
"Hey Amber," he smiled at her.
Dora butted in and asked. "Did you two make up?"
"Yeah, we did."
Dora nodded. The quintet began talking until they reached King's Cross.
"Dad!" Amber yelled running to greet her dad.
The father and daughter greeted each other.
"Dad, this is my friend Timothy Selwyn."
Elliot smiled at his daughter's friend and said. "It's nice to meet you."
"You too, sir."
Before Elliot could reply a couple walked up to them.
"Hey mum, hey dad!" Timothy greeted his parents.
"Hello dear," the woman greeted, she had identical blue eyes to her son.
"This is my friend, Amberly Tonks," Tim introduced Amber to his parents.
She glared briefly at him for using her full name and corrected. "It's Amber."
"It's nice to meet you, sweetie, I'm Rebecca Selwyn. I'm glad Timmy found you as a friend. He was worried that he wouldn't make any friends."
Timothy blushed at his mum's nickname while Amber giggled.
"I'm Jonathan Selwyn. Nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you both. This is my dad, Elliot Tonks."
The parents greeted each other and the group parted ways.
It was time for Christmas, Amber and her family were over her Uncle Ted's house per usual. Suddenly, someone appeared in the fire. It was Charlie coming to exchange gifts with Dora. It was a typical present from the Weasley's a knitted rainbow jumper with a big 'D' on it. Charlie stayed for a few hours and left.
