Previously,

"Manuel has a crush on Luna!" The twins started singing.

Sitting in the defense classroom, Tom was leisurely grading papers. He had convinced Umbridge to leave him until dinner. He just hopes it last longer than dinner. Merlin did that women annoy him.

Suddenly, there was a knock.

"Come in," he drawled.

The door opened, it was Iris. . . and Harry. He looked up and nodded his head. The two walked up to his desk and he wordlessly gestured them to get books. With a snap of Harry's fingers, two books by Salazar Slytherin flew into their hands.

Tom quirked an eyebrow; he knew the Potter boy wasn't all light and wasn't under Dumbledore's thumb but he had picked a book in Parseltongue.

'Interesting. . .,' Tom thought before clearing his throat.

"By the end of the hour, I want you two to be able to tell me something written in the books and I want well-written notes. Begin," he instructed.

Barley even thirty minutes in, Umbridge slammed the doors open, she looked furious. Tom sighed knowing that his convincing didn't work that well. He should probably imperio her next time. . .

"Potter! Black! Get out! You shouldn't bother Tom- I mean Professor Sewlyn after school hours! Get out!" She shrieked.

"Professor-"

"Out!"

"Dolores," Tom drawled, shutting his book harshly.

She flinched.

"I asked them to come here, now if you'll please leave," he hissed, eyes in danger of glowing red.

She nodded, a blush making a way onto her face.

"Potter, Potter-Black," Tom turned to Harry and Iris.

"Yes, Professor?" They replied cheekily in sync.

" Explain two spells."

"For-"

"In Parseltongue."

Harry sighed, "~ To use the killing curse in Parseltongue, it can confuse the opponent because it's the spell color is no longer green, but purple."

"Good," he turned to Iris.

"~For crucio or the torture curse, the color changes as well — to a gray — but the pain is more intense and being under it for less than a minute can make you insane," Iris smiled.

"Dismissed," Tom replied lazily. "Iris, stay for a moment please."

Harry quickly left, wishing luck to his sister.

"Yes, Tom?"

"How are classes going? Any troubles? Any Weasleys giving you any trouble? Dumbledore? Lil- Potter? How about-"

"Tom! I'm fine, I swear," Iris cut him off. "Mrs. Potter hasn't given me any trouble, neither has Dumbledore or any of the Weasleys," Iris said in one breath.

"Good. . .," Tom trailed off, not really knowing what to say.

"I-I should get going, have a good evening, Professor," Iris bid, quickly leaving the classroom.

In the Ravenclaw dorms, Manuel decided to skip dinner and drag his two best friends. As soon as Iris walked in, he dragged her out and went on the look out for Luna. She was in the common room, surrounded by a group of girls, sixth years to be precise.

They seemed to be laughing about something; clothes and weird-looking jewelry were scattered around Luna and the common room. Luna was sitting on the ground, small bruises forming around her face, with a dreamy look on her face. A white cat was in front of her, hissing at the girls.

"Iris, if you don't get over here, I will kill these girls," Mors hissed at his granddaughter.

"Hey!"

The girls suddenly stopped and turned around. It was Manuel, he had his wand pointed at them and his eyes were glowing gold. Iris suddenly was next to him, her wand also pointed at them. The girls burst out laughing.

"Ha! You think mere fifth years can duel us?! We're sixth years. We have more knowledge than you!" One of the girls laughed; it seemed she forgot that they were Ravenclaws, as they know more than they should.

With a swish of three wands, the girls were easily knocked out. Iris knelt by Luna while Manuel started picking her scattered things up.

"Lulu, are you okay?" Iris asked, stroking the blonde's long hair.

"I'm fine, Rissie, I think we should skip dinner though," Luna replied airily. Iris agreed with a sigh.

"So, where should we go?" The Weasley Twins asked.

"Where the hell did you two come from?!" Manuel shrieked, falling on top of Iris.
