- Slytherins Beauty -

Chapter 12

The whole common room fell quiet when a huge thud could be heard from the entry, everyone turned to look where the noise had come from. Even people had come out of their dorms to see what the commotion was.

Circe had tripped over the carpet onto her face as she entered the Slytherin common room. She was still wearing her quidditch robes and obviously came bearing news. This took everyone a moment to process slightly confused.

She lifted her head, a huge grin spread over her face "Someone get me Draco" Circe laughed. After a few minutes of searching someone found Draco, Blaise, Theo, and Daphne all at the same time.

All four came running down the stairs and spotted Circe still lying on the floor in her quidditch gear, Blaise and Daphne both jumped on her and squeezed like she'd pop. "You got in didn't you!" they yell simultaneously still squeezing her, Theo yanks Daphne off Circe and pulls her into a hug from behind resting his head on top of hers. Blaise hops up and pulled Circe with him, "So did you get in!" Blaise beamed.

"I did" Circe squeals and the whole common room erupts with cheers and whoops 'Of course she'd get in', 'without a doubt'. Once the cheers died down she tells the four how everyone got dismissed and how she knocked out the last trainee with her elbow. Then the Marcus Flint wants to teach her to be the next star Chaser.

All four look like they would fall off the edge of their seats if they were sitting. Circe then turned to Draco and pulls him into a hug making Draco blush a bit. "Terence Higgs wants to train you as the next seeker!" she whispered, "He does!" Draco gawks and fist-pumps the air.

Draco then began jumping up and down fangirling about how great Higgs is, Watching this made Blaise burst into a very exaggerated cackle, earning a death glare from Draco.

Theo and Daphne stood there staring like proud parents in the same position they were in before. "We have great friends," Theo said resting his head on Daphne's shoulder "We really do" she added and kissed his cheek making him blush.

"Draco stop jumping you'll fall!" Circe giggled as Draco stood on the table, "Don't worry I'll catch the falling prin-" Blaise gets cut off by Draco falling on him. Circe made a face at Blaise "What was that 'Don't worry I'll catch the falling princess'" She mimicked, dramatically falling over.

"Shove off! I didn't think he'd actually fall" Blaise groaned from under the fallen prince. Draco and Circe are now the ones cackling. "They're acting like three-year-olds Come on you three let's go eat," Theo says while pulling a snickering Daphne along.

Even though Theo and Daphne have an understanding they've always acted as one, always together, parents of the group, telling the other three what not to do and tending to injuries or fights.

If they weren't there surely the group would have fallen apart by now.

The five make their way up from the dungeons into the corridors, Students stare and whisper but they're not fazed by it, rather it just boosts their confidence even more. Crabbe and Goyle manage to find their way to the fast-walking group.

It's only been a few days at Hogwarts and the five already have a name bestowed upon them by other houses, The seven Misfits. 

It didn't take long before the five made it to the Great Hall, students were still pilling in getting ready for dinner. Walking to the Slytherin table they earned glares from the Gryffindor table, "What's wrong Gryffindorks see something you like!" Blaise snickers in an amused tone.

"Heh you wish you were good-looking," Harry Potter whispered under his breath. "I don't have to wish, I know I'm gorgeous Potter" Blaise smirks, making the girls at the table bush.

"Blaise we don't associate with trash" Theo sneers, Weasley decided to tune in on this comment "It seems the snake isn't mute!" He laughed. Theo doesn't usually talk because of his own personal reasons

Weasley's comment hurt Theo's feelings which made Daphne's blood boil no one talks to him like that and lives to tell the tale. Daphne cleared her throat and reset her posture. "Do your parents even realize they're living proof that two wrongs don't make a right?" she sneered and pulled Theo to the Slytherin table where Crabb and Goyle were.

Draco, Blaise, and Circe all shared the same snake-like smirk.

"I'd kick you in the teeth, but why should I improve your looks" Circe chimed making the table gasp and the Slytherin table snicker. "If I had a face like yours, I'd sue my mother" Blaise chuckled while peering down at the weasley, making the women in the hall swoon.

"Don't be ashamed of who you are. That's your parent's job." Draco added watching attentively as Weasley shrunk into his seat. Circe grinned at how well they did "I think we're done here" she laughed, "I think we are" Draco chuckled and Blaise nodded.

Just before they left Blaise turned around and gave Weasley a deathly glare, "Don't think too much, you'll sprain your brain." he then switched his glare to a smile and continued walking.

Slytherins were dying of laughter, Gryffindors were pissed off and red in the face, Ravenclaws didn't care for the commotion, and the Hufflepuffs were stunned and slightly confused.

Once the three had reached the table they were greeted with cheers and laughter, This made Circe laugh a genuine laugh which made the Slytherin boys smitten. The cheers consisted of 'She is what I would picture a Slytherin to be' and  'Slytherin's always take care of their own.'

When they sat down the teachers walked in and Dumbledore gave a speech like he always does and made the food appear. Small talk enveloped the hall as the tables began to eat food and talk about their day completely overlooking what had just happened.

Everything seemed to be going as planned until the DADA teacher came bursting into the great hall making everyone stop what their doing and look at him. He seemed very frightened.

"Troll I-In the dungeon! Troll in the dungeon!" Professor Quirrell screamed, Draco suddenly grabbed Circe's wrist and gulped.

Dumbledore and the rest of the Professors stood up. 

"Thought you oughta' know" Professor Quirrell whispered before fainting. After he hit the floor lightning struck in the great hall making everyone jump up in a panic and scream. 

Even Draco and Blaise screamed which made Circe laugh.

A flood of panicked children began to rush to the doors all pushing each other to get out. "SILENCE!" Dumbledore screamed, grabbing the attention of the agitated mob. 

"Everyone will please not panic, now... Prefects will now lead their house back to the dormitories, and teachers will follow me to the dungeons." Dumbledore finished, no one wasted any time to follow their assigned prefects.

Quickly and swiftly the house prefects were directing frantic children around left, right, and center. Everything was going swell until Draco's hold on Circe slipped and she got lost in the sea of children...
