"Woooooo! The dementors are coming!" Pansy Parkinson shrieked across the Great Hall as Bella walked in with her head held high. Hermione and Ron were on each side of her. Bella snickered as Ron sent a rude hand gesture towards the Slytherins. Bella glanced at the head table and saw Tom and Snape smirking at her.

"It seems that Riddle's eyes are going back to normal…I should change that…" Bella murmured under her breath. Bella glided forward. She trailed a finger across Gideon's back, from shoulder to shoulder. Christine gaped and Michael reared back. Ginny's eyes were wide as she glanced at Bella.

"Shh…it's all for show all for show, Gideon. Means nothing just…play along" Bella hissed at them. They relaxed and Christine snorted as Gideon's face visibly fell. Bella sat down next to them and Ron raised an eyebrow but didn't object and he sat across from his two best friends.

"Here are the timetables" George called from half way down the table. He passed them up and Bella glanced down at it. Ron looked over her shoulder and inspected it.

"So, Hermione and me have Divination first…wait…" Bella said, inspecting Hermione's timetable.

"Hermione…you've got Muggle Studies at nine o' clock too! And you've got Arithmancy. You're good but no one is that good. How can you be in three classes at once?" asked Ron incredulously. Hermione gave him a bland look.

"That's impossible. I can't be in three places at once" Hermione said, shortly. Ron opened his mouth to argue again and Bella held up a hand.

"Don't argue with her she's just going to end up making you look stupid. Hey, you lot. Look at Riddle are his eyes red?" Bella asked. Christine looked up and then flinched, violently before looking back down.

"If looks could kill…I think you and Gideon would've dropped dead" Michael said, shuddering. Bella's grin widened and she nodded.

"That's good very good. He's pissed" Bella smirked. Christine leaned on her hand and glanced at the older girl curiously.

"What are you trying to prove here?" Christine asked.

"That he's an arrogant jerkwad that doesn't own me. It won't get through his massive head" Bella said, with a wry smile. Michael snorted and shook his head before leaning back.

"I don't know if that's possible. To prove it to him, I mean."

"Oh, it better be or his life is going to be hell" Hermione laughed. Ron snorted through his food and Hermione gave him a severely disgusted look.

"Honestly, Ronald! That's disgusting" Hermione snapped. Ron swallowed, thickly and glared at her.

"Well, I'm sorry for finding something amusing!" he barked. Bella sighed as they got into another argument.

"That…that right there is UST, children. Unresolved sexual tension" Bella said, loudly enough for them to hear. They stopped immediately and Ron's ears turned pink. Hermione just glared.
