What happens in Slytherin stays in Slytherin

Chapter 2

They finally arrived at Hogwarts. Following my gang we made our way to the great hall, taking a seat at the Slytherin table and waiting for dinner to start. A few minutes passed and the great hall was filled with students from all houses. Everybody took a seat and watched as the first years came in. The great hall was quiet as they watched the first years get sorted.

So far there were no Slytherins and our table started silently panicking. When finally the last person sat on the stool. The great hall was quiet for what seemed like hours. "SLYTHERIN!!!" The Slytherin table broke out in cheers as the girl hopped off the stool and walked over to the table. She sat next to me looking at her hands. I nudged her and smiled, she returned the smile and relaxed a bit.

Professor Dumbledore went over all the rules then clapped his hands and all the food appeared. The great hall exploded with voices as the food appeared. "So. First year. What's your name?" Bellatrix said looking at the frightened girl. "Zoe" she said quietly. She had brown hair and green eyes. "Blood status?" Lucius asked. "Muggle Born" my eyes widened as I saw the looks of pure hatred on Lucius, Bellatrix, and Narissas faces.

They all stayed silent the rest of the meal. Dumbledore stood again "alright, a long journey you all have had, off to bed now pip pip." Lucius stood and looked at the only first year. He then rolled his eyes and just walked out with the others following him. I looked at Zoe and smiled again "come, I'll show you to our common room." Zoe smiled and followed me out of the great hall.

We walked down to the dungeons in silence. "Why do I feel like you are the only person that's going to be my friend?" Zoe asked breaking the silence. I laughed "you'll have other friends" I chuckled "there are three more houses that have people that I'm sure will be willing to be your friend." I said stopping in front of a stone wall. "Pure blood" I said. I noticed how Zoe cringed at the words.

The wall shifted and opened for the two of them. Inside was decorated with silver and green furniture. I scanned the room for my friends but only found Severus sitting on the couch reading a book. "Come Zoe I'll introduce you to my friend." I grabbed Zoe's hand and pulled her in front of Severus "Severus, this is Zoe, I don't know if you were paying any attention during dinner to notice her." I chuckled. "Hello" Zoe said quietly looking down at her feet.

Severus looked up over the rim of his book and smirked then returned to his book. "Don't mind him, he's always like that to everyone." I said glaring at him. I again grabbed Zoe's hand and led her to the girls dormitory. "This is where you will be sleeping, since you are the only first year, you get this room to yourself." Zoe ran her hand over the bed and sat on it. "Alright, your stuff is right at the base of your bed, so come and get me if you need anything." Zoe nodded so I left her.

I walked into the common room taking a seat across from Severus "would it hurt you to show just a little bit of kindness?" I snapped at him. He looked at me over his book. I could see the smirk in his eyes "it might" was all he said. I growled and jumped up ripping the book from his hands. He jumped right up, a dangerous scowl was on his face. "I'm sick of you being like this, for once show some sign of emotion that's not anger." I yelled. He reached out to grab his book but was to slow as I quickly moved it out of his reach.

"Give me my book!" He yelled. "No!" I jumped away from him. He grabbed my arm and flung me on the couch pinning my arm down that held the book. "Don't kiss" crooned Bellatrix. I felt my face go bright red. I released the book and jumped up trying to get as far away from Severus as I could. "Don't ever do that again" he growled at me. My face went an even brighter shade of red when Bella started making kissing noises.

"Shut up Bella" Severus growled only to be answered by a laugh. I watched as he sat back down and dove back into the book. I rolled my eyes and sat across the table from Bellatrix. "Did you show that mudblood her room?" She sneered while looking at her nails. I mentally cringed at the word and nodded. "I can't believe she was placed in Slytherin, she's going to be a total outcast" Bella growled. I stared at my hands not saying a word as Lucius came over. "Well thanks for taking care of her for us, we really appreciate it" he whispered into my ear as he passed.

A shiver ran up my spine but I quickly ignore it. Lucius took a seat next to me and spoke "the party is tomorrow night, you all said you were going." I turned and looked into his grey eyes "how are we getting out of the castle?" I asked. "Fret not my dear, I know secret passages." I rolled my eyes and stood "well I'm going to bed, it's late and classes start. Goodnight everyone" I yawned as I made my way towards my room.
