The Great Hall was buzzing as Marilyn made her way inside. There was something about today...Something in the air that even had the gloomy Slytherin in a light, playful mood. She was actually smirking, something that the blonde hadn't practiced in a while...And who'd ever heard of a Slytherin that didn't smirk? It just didn't make sense.

Nearing her house table, she noticed two things at once...She was, indeed, starving...and her cousin was there. Well, one of them, anyway...The extra blonde one...with another Gryffindor. One Marilyn wasn't at all familiar with...He was obviously one of Carter's friends. She wasn't sure why..but this bothered her greatly. Caroline could dump Carter for something stupid...and then be fraternizing with other Gryffindor boys. His friends?

"Well, well, well...Look what we have here."
