don't need ammortentia to fall for you

chapter 1: Your eyes once whispered have we met

Thomas felt the thump of each heartbeat in his chest as he sat in suspense. He heard the sorting hat's grumbling mutters before it Shouted aloud "Slytherin!"

He hardly surprised after all practically all the people in his family were slytherins,l his parents definitely were.

He heard the cheers and claps as he made his way to the Slytherin table. He choose to sit next to an asian boy with jet black hair and hazel-brown eyes.

The boy smirked and patted Thomas on the back "Welcome to slytherin shank." He held out his hand, "I'm Minho."

Thomas shook the boy's extended hand "I'm Thomas."

The smirk turned into a grin as he spoke "nice to meet ya Tom."

----

After the feast Thomas was lead to their common room by their prefect, Alby. "The password this year greenies, is salazar. If you happen to forget the password you are in for a long uncomfortable sleep in the hallway."

He entered the room bringing all the first years with him. "Now I'm gonna show you shanks to your dorms then you can unpack."

After the older boy was done with his tour and Thomas had unpacked he then plopped himself down on his bed. Just as he felt himself finally start to drift off he heard a knock on the door.

He tried to walk over and open the door as quiet as he could, considering pretty much every other dormmate he had was sleeping.

Surprisingly it was Minho, the onlder boy he had met during the feast who had come to see him. "Heya shank." He greeted with a smirk on his face.

"Hello?" Thomas asked more than said.

"Come with me." His friend replied after he gave him a questioning look.

"Ok." Thomas responded. 'Cause following some boy who you met only a few hours earlier, in the black of night is oh so smart Thomas.' He thought to himself as he was lead down the dark corridor.

----

They walked in a comfortable silence for awhile until Thomas actually said out loud what he was thinking "Where are we going?"

Minho simply replied "You'll see greenie."

Thomas silently wondered to himself where these words both Minho and that prefect, Alby, used earlier, 'shank' as well as 'greenie' came from. He then spotted a boy waving at them, once Minho had seen the him too he started walking towards him.

"Hey Fry." Minho said to the boy his signature grin-slash-smirk planted on his face.

"Heya Min, this the greenie?" He asked gesturing to Thomas.

"Yup." Minho replied.

The new boy 'Fry' had turned to Thomas smiling. "Nice to meet you greenie I'm Siggy but most people just call me Frypan."

Thomas smiled back at him "I'm Thomas, Thomas Paige."

"So does he know?" He asked Minho his smile slowly being replaced by a smirk.

"Nope." Minho replied an identical grin on his face.

In that moment Thomas had given up trying to ask where in Merlin's beard they were taking him.

----

Eventually after walking through the halls of the castle with the other two boys they finally arrived where they were taking him. "Well that's kinda anticlimactic." Thomas said starring at the abandoned looking classroom's door.

Frypan and Minho both looked at each other exchanging smug looks at that. "I wouldn't be so sure about that, greenie." Frypan replied.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Thomas asked.

"You'll see." Minho answered the younger boy his smirk still there as he opened the door.

Thomas wasn't sure what he was expecting but it certainly wasn't this. There were plants everywhere hanging from the ceiling, on the windowsill even some ivy on the walls. There were tall bookcases, glass cupboards containing wizard boardgames, plush couches and rugs.

"This greenie, is the glade." Minho said "Us and our mates have been meeting here for ages they found it before I even met 'em." Minho explained.

"This is-", Thomas started but was cut off by Minho, "Not what you expected?"

Thomas smiled, " You could say that.", He replied.

Eventually the three had settled down Minho and Thomas challenging each other at wizard chess, and frypan reading one of the many books in the room.

Suddenly another group of people came in all looking older than Thomas and Minho.

The first was their prefect, Alby along side him there were two strangers. The first was a tall, black haired boy with green eyes nothing about the boy truly stood out. The second was an even taller boy, with golden curls and deep blue eyes with specks of green.

"Well Tom you already know alby,-" The prefect waved slightly "-and these two shanks are Gally-" He gestured to the first stranger "- and Newt." Minho introduced.

Just as Minho had said the boys name Thomas locked eyes with those pools of blue and green.
