A/N-Here's the next one! I hope you like it.

Sunday felt like torture. Narcissa couldn't get me out of bed. My eyes were bloodshot from crying all night. She kept scolding me for my reasons.

"You cried over my stupid cousin?" she sneered. "I know what you two had when we were children, but please, it's in the past and he had shown what he really is these past six years."

"Cissy, I loved him."

"Loved. Meaning it's all in the past. He's not worth crying over, Lex."

"Why did he think to barge into my life again yesterday?" I said angrily, getting up and punching a mirror. It broke and my hand bled, but I didn't care. "What right does he have?"

"I think you should wrap your hand," Cissy stared at the blood gushing out. "Would you rather the Hospital Wing?"

"I don't bloody care," I ran cold water over my hand, just for her to stop worrying. I rushed out of the bathroom. "I need to look splendid."

"That's all I needed to hear." Cissy smiled evilly and went beside me.

She combed through my hair and tied it up in a messy ponytail to hide that it wasn't styled gorgeously. I slipped on the first gray dress from my closet and wrapped a white coat around me. Boots and I was ready. I felt like the vixen Sirius described me as last night. I grinned at my menacing expression.

Cissy and I ate lunch at the Great Hall with ease. We were accompanied by Regulus again. I find that I like him, better than his brother anyway. He wasn't as handsome, but was a looker all the same.

"Sorry about yesterday," he apologized. "I got you in detention too."

"I should've just walked away in the first place," I smiled.

"You couldn't have. It was my right to come at your rescue."

I shook my head, grinning at him. He was so sweet, and everyone else thought that Slytherins were a dreadful set of creatures.

"So, Alex..." Miggy said, from across me. He had such an arrogant face, but it was intimidating and intriguing, it was handsome. "What the hell are you crying about Black for anyway?"

"I guess he was my childhood sweetheart."

"Seriously?" he laughed. "Couldn't imagine him being all sweet with anyone. That filthy little blood-traitor."

"Well, my family and the Blacks have been friends for generations. I knew them ever since I was born."

"Why, the older Black?"

"Because he was the the one who took care of me a lot. Reggie and Cissy weren't mature I guess. We got into fights a lot too, right Reggie?" I elbowed Regulus in the stomach.

"Yeah, you have no idea how hard her head is."

"Don't pretend like yours isn't thicker!"

He stuck his tongue out at me. I know, it may seem unusual for you to hear about Slytherins playing around and laughing with each other, but we're people too. We're just...very misunderstood and sometimes demented human beings.

You may also be wondering, what the hell is this Alex person doing in this House? I'm not sure myself. I sure didn't choose to be here. Well, it's a funny story really, but not really that funny.

"You're getting into Gryffindor alright?" Sirius' young, beaming face looked down at me. Even at twelve, he looked gaunt and haughty.

"Do I have to be in Gryffindor for you to stay with me?" my naive little self had said.

"If you are, then we'll be stuck together all the time. Except for classes."

"What if I'm not in Gryffindor? Will you be terribly angry at me?" my lips quivered, afraid to stay away from him. I looked at the boy beside Sirius, who was wearing glasses and had a warm smile on his face.

"From what I've heard, Sirius here thinks your the prettiest little creature around." James said matter-of-factly. "I've been sick of it all year."

"Don't worry love, I'll stay with you." Sirius said earnestly. I could trust him with my life.

Obviously, that wasn't the case.

When I heard the little voice inside my ear squeal 'Slytherin!', that night, I felt my heart sink. I wouldn't be able to spend every waking moment with him. I wasn't worried that he would be upset, since he promised me that it didn't matter where I was.

When the Prefects were leading me to my Common Room, I felt my arm pulled at from the side of the Great Hall doors. I then saw the furious gray eyes that were staring me down.

"Why did that hat say that you were needed in Slytherin?" he growled. My arm started hurting.

"Sirius--?"

"Why?"

"I don't know. It just said it in my ear. Didn't you hear that it said that I could be placed anywhere, but then my purity was needed in that House?" I said innocently, not understanding his rage.

"Of all the Houses, I really wished you weren't put in that one," he sneered, throwing my arm away. I staggered back a good few steps.

"You told me you won't be angry wherever I went!" I protested, turning my back on him and stomping to rush over to where my other fellow first years were.

"Don't turn your back on me."

Then there came the hex that changed the way I saw Sirius Black.

I snapped out of my flashback and I could feel the tightness in my throat. My eyes were glazed and I felt like something was choking me. I bent my head and repressed my feelings. I would not allow my tears to come down now. The Marauders were in this room as well, and Cissy just hissed at me that Black was looking.

I blinked and placed a cool smile on my face. There was the Slytherin smile that I needed.

Slowly, I stood up and glided over toward the Gryffindor table. I felt stares on the back of my head. I swear, my head would have a hole in it if those stares were jinxes.

I tapped Potters' shoulder and he looked up to grimace at me. Black only gaped at my sweet face.

I bent my head and touched my lips to Potters'. I could play this game, Black would pay.
