"Chocolate mint," said Tobias confidently, when they reached the portrait of Anne Boleyn, who was looking rather paler than usual and winced at his silky voice.

"No," she said.

"What d'you mean, 'no'?"

"There is a new password," she said. "I love the way your voice is, just like your father and your big brother too".

Tobias shakes unbelievable. "Again! It's been a week and how many times has Slytherin had to change a password because someone had to do something with it! How're we supposed to-?"

"What happened?" asked Susannah behind him. He looked over shoulder where she stood. "I say what happened!"

"She changed the password".

"Again!" Susannah walked closer towards the portrait. "If you are still alive like us, Anne Boleyn. I'll make sure they will give you another chance to be executed. I dare say I will".

Portrait of Anne Boleyn mocked her back. Susannah grit teeth didn't realize Scorpius is right behind her. He said this.

"Crackers!"

Anne Boleyn smiles down at this silver hair. "Precisely," said Anne Boleyn in a feeble voice, and swung forward to reveal the portrait hole.

They climbed as Scorpius led the way into the packed common room.

"Crackers!" Tobias turns to Scorpius. "Since when?"

"This morning. Didn't you get any notice, note or something?" Tobias shakes his head while Susannah eyes Scorpius. "It's all over Slytherin, they all knew why not you two".

Susannah turned to Tobias, she said. "Maybe we are too busy to notice this ridiculous thing!"

"Professor McGonagall says someone must have slipped out or accidentally revealed the password or it didn't mean to. Sure someone did but no one knows".

Scorpius watched Susannah leave, he stopped and blocked her. "MOVE!"

"Why didn't you wear that ring?"

"Are you mental, Malfoy!"

"It's just Christmas presents from me to you. And besides I give your siblings a present too. Grandma Narcissa asked me too with thank you. So I picked special presents just for you".

She shook head, "Your whole family must be mental then!"

"They are not. Just... misbehave. You should wear that ring".

"So you can track me down. Do you think I don't know about this ring? you put a spell on this ring so then I could fall for you and you control me just like your family did. Am I right?"

Everyone's eyes are now on Susannah and Scorpius. "Why do you hate me so much?" asked Scorpius.

"I don't hate you, I just don't like it! Everyone knows your family. Let's say I try to be nice but you thought it was wrong. And you are just a boy who doesn't know what love means. So, I ask you again, Malfoy. If you want a friend just act like one".

Susannah climbed the stairs, they could hear she slammed the door hard. For Scorpius, he didn't have a chance to talk with her about whether she should throw away the ring or not.

"What was that for Malfoy?" asked Tobias behind him.

Tristan climbed in the hole, curious as he thought what the heck is going on around here in the common room.

Why is the student eyeing Scorpius in such a weird look?

"I asked you Malfoy!"

Scorpius shook head. "Nothing. I was asking if your sister threw my presents that I gave to her on Christmas Eve. That's all".
