Seeing the other Slytherin girl jump made Sierra jump just a little bit, too. After all, jumping was certainly not a reaction she was expecting. She steadied herself and glanced up to see if the poor girl she'd startled was alright. She seemed to be. She wasn't dead, at least.

Sierra smiled when the girl finally spoke. "Sorry about that. I didn't mean to scare you," she said. Just to be on the safe side, Sierra turned and glanced behind her, making sure that the girl had jumped because of Sierra's presence and not because of some possible three-headed dog lurking behind them.

"I thought you looked familiar," she continued, turning back around. "I've seen you in the common room, right? You're a Slytherin?" she asked. She was sure she'd seen the girl in a few of the classes, too, but then again, members of all houses were present in classes. This girl, she thought, had been in the common room before. "Anyway, I'm Sierra Greingoth, first year Slytherin."

Ara was humming a tune to her favorite song as she stepped into the corridor from the common room. It was a lovely day and well...it was about not only herself but Finn Finn as well. Though she was quite annoyed with Corvus at the moment and needed to pay more attention to where that boy was just in case he came up and scared her once again. Next time it would result in a punch in the face, forget his arm. Blah! It was at that moment she looked up and saw her handsome Finlay standing in the corridor talking to another Slytherin.

"Well, hello handsome," she purred as she walked up and reached for his arm, linking her arm up and underneath to show that she was with him. He was a cutie pie and she would need to keep her claws out and ready. "Hello," she greeted the other girl with a fake smile, even though she was Slytherin. Tut tut!

Fallon smiled. "That's all right with me." Of course she wouldn't mind practicing with Finn. It was always fun to practice with someone else. Plus, racing with Aaron had started to get a little boring. She chuckled a little. "Well...I'm usually the one hitting them so that doesn't really affect me."

Fallon was going to say something else when they were interrupted by someone.

Fallon tried not to glare at the girl. Really, it wasn't like Fallon was trying to come between her and Finn. She did have boundaries. "Hello." She thought about ignoring the girl, but she couldn't see how that would pan out for her. Probably not that well. Just from looking at her Fallon could tell that the girl was possessive.

"Oh, yeah I am." Cass said with a smile after she had gathered herself together. Come to think of it, she had seen this girl around too...in classes? in the great hall? Maybe... "Cassandra Prewett, second year Slytherin" she said.

Finn grinned, flying with Fallon would be fun. "Awesome." He knew that he would totally own her, because he was just that cool. Finn laughed at her next comment. "You better not hit any at me." Because he would not be happy at all, especially if she hit his face. Finn grinned at her though, because it would be funny to see what would happen she tried to hit him with a bludger....he'd just dodge it. Or so he hoped that he would.


Unfortunately he forgot about this flying with Fallon was soon forgotten when he heard a new voice. Finn smirked, turning to look at Ara. "Hey babe." At least his walk down here had been worthwhile now, and it gave him a perfect opportunity to introduce Ara to Fallon, which would be awesome. "Still gonna come to tryouts?" He asked, as he leant down, kissing her cheek. He hoped she'd come, because then he'd be able to show off a bit. haha.

Hmm. Finn could sense a little tension in the corridor. That was not good. At all. "Ara... This is my friend Fallon." He motioned towards the other girl, whilst wrapping an arm around Ara's waist. "And Fallon, this is Ara."

Ara brushed her hair behind her, clearing her cheek for the kiss that Finlay was about to plant on her. What a gentleman, the 'babe' thing was just the icing on the cake. "You know I wouldn't miss my strong, handsome boyfriend trying out for the Quidditch team," she leaned in rubbing her nose against his cheek while kicking up her foot behind her as if she were in a little dance.

She then turned towards the girl that Finn was introducing her too and held out her free hand, as the other one was occupied by being linked with Finlay's arm. "Fallon? That is a beautiful name. It's very nice to meet you," she respectfully said awaiting a returned handshake from the girl. Maybe she was a little too happy but it was Finn that made her happy, with his cute self.

Adam looked around.
What was he doing here, near the Slytherins common room-this was odd-only Fee seemed to be his only good Slytherin Girl Friend, but she was probably at the lake with Rex or Hugo.
How weird.Spinning around a bit he saw that the place was dank and cold-he rubbed his arms together to gather some heat.

This girl, Sierra decided, was fairly nice. Actually, she was really nice, causing Sierra to have a hard time imagining why Cassandra had ended up in Slytherin in the first place. She didn't quite seem to have that edge that most Slytherins had. Nevertheless, Sierra knew the sorting hat didn't lie, so there had to be something cunning deep down inside the girl.

"Oh, well you're not much older than me," Sierra said with a smile. "Which means...you were a first year yourself not that long ago." That wasn't a bad thing, of course. It was just an observation. "So is second year much different from first year? I guess you're a little more used to how things work."

Fallon chuckled. "I won't. Don't want ruin that face of yours." Yeah she was feeding his ego, but hey, she just found out the guy she liked had a girlfriend. She was gonna do whatever she could to flatter him. Who knows what could happen that way.

Fallon stood there somewhat awkwardly as Finn kissed the girl's cheek. She could tell just from looking at her that she was possessive. It was more apparent when she kept her arm around him when she offered her hand to shake. Fallon took a hold of it and grinned. "Thank you. It's nice to meet you Ara. Your name's really pretty too." Eh. She didn't think so, but she didn't want to mess with girl things right now.

Getting out from the Slytherin common room, Georgiana walked through the dungeons and found a tall guy, older than her wandering around, he seemed like he needed a sweater due to the coldness down here. "Hello?" she said "Looking for something..maybe someone?" she asked looking at him "I'm Georgiana by the way" said smiling.

"I'm I'm not really sure why I'm down here."He admitted laughing at himself.He noticed her wearing green robes,"How do you not freeze at night down here in your common room?
Oh hello georgiana-I'm Adam."He introduced,giving her his icy cold hand to shake.

Yeah, he seemed he has no idea what he was doing. She couldn't help but chuckle at his response "Well... we have heating, anyway you get used to the cold" she giggled. Oh a Gryffindor she noticed he was. "Nice to meet you, Adam" said shaking his hand "Wow! you really are cold" said laughing. "Would you like a glove?" said showing a pair from inside her robes. "In what year are you?" she asked.

"Yes. I am freezing...It'sstill not winter too-barely fall has started..."He said. Adam then saw some black gloves inside her robes and rudely snatched them from her grasp and slipped them on."Thanks. Oh I'm a 3rd year. I am assuming, but your somewhat small size you could be a firstie or second year?"He guessed , gesturing at how small she was.

Wow! he really wanted the gloves then. She laughed at how fast did he grabbed them "Really cold then" she giggled. Oh here goes the "how small you are", anyway she was used to it "Firstie, yep really small am I huh?" she said " And all of my siblings are tall so I hope I do grow too!" said looking at herself and then back at him. Merlin he really was tall. She started to walk" And how was your start of term? doing good?"

Finn had to laugh a little as Ara rubbed her nose against his cheek. Man she was so cute. "Well at least I'll have one supporter." He laughed, because well he knew that he was going to have tons of supporters. He was just that epic. "You know..." He began, pulling away from her a little, to pretend to check her out, before smirking. "You look so cute today." And I totally want to snog you. Maybe they could go for a little walk. Hehe. He glanced back at Fallon, and smiled at her. This totally wasn't awkward right?

"Well....my face is pretty awesome." Finn smirked, before laughing. As long as nobody else hit a bludger at his face then he was set to have a perfect face for his entire life, which was epic. "Yours is pretty awesome too you know..." He mused with a quick glance at Ara. All friends here right? And they all have awesomes face.

Andd they both seemed to be getting along nicely. Which was good, because he didn't really want his friends fighting with his girlfriend. It wasn't pretty epic. "Well...." He smiled at the both of them. "Me and Fallon are going to practice some quidditch....Wanna come Ara?"

"Yes and No?" She said with a sheepish smile. She, herself, sounded really unsure of her own answer. "Well, the only thing that's different are the lessons, and the fact that I'm not getting lost around the castle anymore.."

With a thoughtful look on her face, Sierra nodded along as Cassandra spoke. So once second year rolled around, according to this girl's experience, Sierra wouldn't end up quite so confused in her classes. Or, at least, that's how she'd taken it. She didn't know what else the girl could mean by saying the lessons were different.

She didn't comment on that out loud, though. Again, admitting to failure just really wasn't her thing. "Cool," she simply said. "Lost around the castle, hmm? Well, I haven't gotten lost yet...," Thank Merlin! "...but I really haven't explored the castle that much either. Got any place really cool to show me?"

It was just a thought, at least. Surely there was some place around the castle that only a returning student would know about...

Benjamin came out of the common room into the corridor to get a little fresh air. He turned without looking and bumped into someone who was pacing the long hall.

"Oh! Jeez! I'm sorry. I didn't notice anyone was out here." He looked up and saw the girl from Transfiguration standing there. "Oh. bloody... What in Merlins pants are you down here for? don't you know this is a cangerous place for Huffie to be? Especially right outside of our common room? Don't you know if I was someone meaner, they would've hexed you already?" He grabbed her arm and pulled her further down the corridor. "Now, what do want?"

Jaina heard a door open and at the same time bumped into someone. She knew it! It was him! The one she was looking for! She heard him getting on her for being down here near the Slytherins lair. Oh well if they hexed her. At this moment, she didn't care.

"Ow! What the -?" she said to him. "I was debating on apologizing for earlier, but now I'm not so sure." She was rubbing her arm. "You know you could have said, come with me and I would have come. Don't you guys trust anyone??" He made her so mad!

"Anyway, I also wanted to check on you. You seemed kind of panicked when you darted out to the bathroom. Are you ok? If you need some help, I'd like to try." She was hoping that he would trust her enough to tell her something.

"Are you kidding?" Damian smiled back. "Dungeons are awesome... no sun, no warmth, no light, no Hufflepuffs... well, almost no Hufflepuffs..."
A big warm smile appeared on Damian's face, as she turned to walk towards Common Room. "You coming?" she shouted to the girl not looking back, yet walking slowly so that she could catch up with Damian.

He looked around the corner and peeked around the old common room to make sure it was empty. He lookedat her and waved for her to come to him. "Come on," he whispered as he went around the corner."Hurry!" and he disappeared behind the corner. He sat down and waited on her to come to him.

She hurried after him quickly and sat with him. "Ok, well this isn't what I expected, but ok, I'm listening." Her blue eyes were watching him intensely.

He stood up as she sat down and said what she said. He started circling around in front of her.

"Okay. here it is. I'm actually totally fine, healthwise. Like, I didn't go and puke or anything like that. If you can keep a secret, I'll show you why I left class like i did. And yes, I did say show. And then I'll explain about what you are seeing. Ok? But you have to promise me that you'll keep it a secret. From everybody. mugles, muggleborns, half-bloods, purebloods, everybody. Ok?

He seemed really nervous, like he had a secret that would bring about the end of the world. "I'll make a deal with you. I won't give up yours, if you won't give up mine. I always keep my promises, so I'm trusting you'll do the same. Mine is probably not like yours, but I've gotten some bad reactions already." With that she turned her red curls into green ones and her blue eyes became green. "Sit." she said gently and pointed to the seat next to her. She shook her head to get the red curls and blue eyes back.
