Soon enough Alecto had spoken with Dumbledore and he told her he'd arrange with a teacher to go with her to Hogsmeade, since she wasn't allowed alone outside the castle, although it would be awful having a professor follow her around the whole time so she thought she might even be able to sneak off and go off by herself.

They had three Quidditch practices this week already and Flint was really pushing them, even with his teeth that had been knocked out but unfortunately Madam Pomfrey used the Densaugeo spell to grow them back, after alot of pain apparently. He treated her worse none the less and made sure she knew that he just saw her as a mere accessory on the field.

The morning of Halloween had finally come and it was the day they'd be going to Hogsmeade, first she had to go to breakfast and then professor Dumbledore's office to see who he's chosen to go with her.
She dressed into a pair of black jeans, black shoes and a long sleeved shirt along with a dark coat over it. It was snowing so a coat would do perfect.
She went down to breakfast and put her coat down next to her since the great hall was fairly heated with the warmth that lurked inside the castle walls on chilly days.

"Well look who's all ready for Hogsmeade" Said Alex Reynes, a Slytherin student who was already in his fith year, "I heard a rumor though." He sat down next to her smirking, "That you're not allowed to go alone and you're going to have a special escort today."
Alecto rolled her eyes, "Yes, a professor has to go with me, but not for the whole trip, I'd make sure of that."
"Well..." Alex drawled slowly, "If you manage to slip away, come find me." And with a wink he was off.

Next moment Fred and George sat down in front of her. "Was Reynes just flirting with you?" Fred asked loudly, "Oh I think he was, Fred." George exclaimed.
Alecto turned to them with a frown, "Of course not, he has a girlfriend remember."

"Nope, they broke up about two days ago."

"Oh really? And now what? He's flirting with me? The one girl most Slytherins dont even speak with."

"Well, you know you are actually his age, since you're a year older than us."

Alecto sighed, she was indeed in her 4th year, don't let that confuse you, but being put into her 3rd year at the age of fourteen was the reason for that, so she was one of the few who are actually not the same age as her classmates, since most students come into Hogwarts at the age of eleven and go on with the years. (Alecto is in her 4th year and will turn 15 at the end of her fourth year, since her birthday is in June, which is at the end of the Hogwarts school year. A lot of my readers are confused with this part so just bare with me.)

"I'm not into him, alright?" She stated simply. She wasn't, he never really spoke to her before.

"Oh well. Oh and good luck, we heard you might be going to Hogsmeade with Snape!" George laughed as they stood and left.
Going to Hogsmeade with Snape, what a nightmare, after not allowing her to play in the first match and giving her detention, now she has to go with him to Hogsmeade. It's going to be horrible.

She finished her breakfast and went up to Dumbledore's office and saw him at his desk with Snape closeby.
"Ah, miss Black." The old man's eyes twinkled as he spoke. She smiled kindly at him and looked at Snape, who only wore a scowl on his face.
"I hope you don't mind but I've arranged with professor Snape here to go with you today, surely since he's your head of house he wouldn't mind at all."

Wouldn't mind. Wouldn't mind? This stupid girl is about to ruin my whole weekend just because she wants to go to Hogsmeade. Snape thought with a scowl.

"You don't mind, do you Severus?" Dumbledore asked sweetly.
Snape raised his eyebrows, "Not at all." He replied sarcastically.
"Excellent!" The headmaster clasped his hands together, ignoring the obvious sarcasm coming from the dark professors lips. "You two should be off then."
