Pansy snatches the present that Harry gives off Serenity's hand as soon as she gets into the Slytherin common room.

"Oh? Getting all cosy with scared I see?" taunt Pansy, looking into the package.

Daphne goes to Pansy to see what is inside the package.

"Come on girls. It's late already!" whine Millicent, not liking where this is going.

"Look at this! There are limited edition chaser gloves!" squeak Daphne.

Before Serenity could say something, she was stopped by annoying laughter. It's from Draco.

"Come on Ugly! Don't tell me it is your birthday today. Well, I mean yesterday" say Draco smugly as he realized the time on the clock in the common room.

"Yes, it is my birthday yesterday. Give it back to me" press Serenity angrily and holding out her hand.

Everyone was shocked.

"I'm sorry Serenity. I didn't know. Why didn't you tell me?" ask, Millicent, a bit disappointed and regretful.

"It's not that important. Now, Miss Parkinson, my glove" answered Serenity, holding back her anger.

"That's right. A mud-bloods birthday such as yourself is not important" says Draco and takes Serenity's gloves from Daphne. "And this is too fancy for you, Ugly"

Anger rose in Serenity. Instantly she takes out her wand, making everyone squeak out of fear, especially Draco.

"Accio glove" growled Serenity, making the glove from Draco's hand fly into hers.

When the glove is secure in her hands, Serenity keeps her wand and walks to the Dormitory.

"You think you can win the quidditch match with that gloves?! Keep dreaming!" taunt Draco in a shaky voice.

"I am securing Slytherin's winning in the next Quidditch match, like always, NO THANKS TO YOU" pressed Serenity, seriously and dangerously.

Instantly Serenity turns on her heels and walks into the Dormitory, making everyone speechless. Inside the Dormitory, Serenity is breathing hard. She is furious. It is hard to be kind when you are surrounded by heartless gargoyles.

"Are you alright?"

Serenity turn back and saw Millicent.

" I'm getting there" answer Serenity slowly, sitting on her bed, looking down at the Quidditch glove in her hand.

"Ignore them Serenity. You know that they are all bark no bite. Especially Draco" coax Millicent, leaning by her bed frame.

Serenity smirk.

"Looks like things goes well with Mr Newton?" ask Serenity, changing the topic, she did not want to talk about Draco and his goons.

Millicent giggles nervously and blushes.

"So far so good" smiled Millicent.

Serenity blink her eyes several times as she looks at Millicent. Others might misunderstand her when she suddenly thought how beautiful Millicent is. She notices this when Millicent is with Colby or, talking about that boy. She never thought of Millicent as beautiful. Then a thought comes to mind. Is it because of LOVE that makes Millicent beautiful? That could be it.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Millicent, smiling shyly.

"I just thought that you and Mr Newton were made for each other" answered Serenity sincerely.

"Really? Thank you, Serenity! Oh! I do hope you find yours too" says Millicent happily.

Serenity hummed for a while.
