Third person

Iris sits at her desk, absently listening to Professor Snape drone on in his monotone slimy voice.
How can he stand to talk like that? He's like a fucking robot
Iris chuckles softly at her thoughts.

"Miss. Iris if you have something to share with the class please do." Snape says slowly. "If not I don't want to hear anything out of you for the rest of the lesson."

"Yes sir." She mumbles glad he didn't use her last name.

Only a few people knew her last name and she intends to keep it that way. It'll be even worse if people find out because she's in Slytherin. She rests her hands on her chin as Snape continues his lecture.
Once class ends she rushes out to find Pansy.
She strolls though the hallway and bumps into the 'golden' trio.

"Oh! Shit sorry." She gives them a small smile

All of their eyes widened.

"Listen I know I'm a Slytherin but that doesn't mean we're all the same alright?" She waves as she continues on her way.

"Wait!" Someone hurries after her. "Your Iris right?"

She turns. "Yeah." She holds out her hand to shake. "Your Potter right?" She teases

He chuckles and nods. "This is Ron Weasely." He motions to the redhead. "And Hermione Granger, but I think you know her already"

Iris smiles at the three of them. "Nice to meet you all."

"Likewise." Hermione manages something that could pass as a smile.

"Anyway." She says sensing the tension. "I should go, stuff to do people to see." She smiles once more, waves and walks off leaving the three baffled.

She finds Pansy after sometime in their dorm.

"Hey." She sits on her bed. "Have you been here the whole time?"

Pansy nods. "You took forever to get to the original meet up spot so I came here."

"Sorry." She says softly. "I bumped into some Gryffindor's."

Pansy nods. "Did you beat them up?"

"No I'm not at mean." She scoffs. "Unless someone provokes me than I'll beat them up."

Pansy chuckles. "That's fair but we don't operate on fair, if you noticed."

"I noticed, I guess I'll be a 'nice Slytherin."

Pansy looks horrified. "You'll ruin our reputation!"

Iris chuckles. "Joking... Well half joking."

"Well as long as you don't act all buddy buddy with Potter than you can be nice all you want."

Iris nods, half serious.

The girls talk for a while before Iris grows bored.

"I'm gonna go for a walk or something wanna come?" She stands and stretches.

"No I'll be here though, maby take a nap." Pansy responds.

Iris nods and heads out their dorm.
With no destination in mind Iris just walks around the castle.

"Hey."

She turns around. "Hey Potter." She gives him a small smiles. "What brings you here?"

He shrugs. "I saw you and decided to see if you wanted to hang out with us?"
