  I hadn't noticed him, not until year four at least. I knew of him, and had seen him but he didn't catch my eye until then. He's a year older and seems to be much more mischievous then myself, a hufflepuff, but he is a slytherin and one of my favourites at that. Let me tell you how we met.

   Sitting in charms class staring off is one of my favourite things to do, I find that class easy so I don't pay much attention. I usually find myself doodling or something instead of studying and am one of the first ones done during a test or a quiz. But, today, I'm struggling. "You're kidding me," I frown. I'm in the Hufflepuff common room with my charms notes trying to wrap my brain around the new material we learn but it's no good, I'm going to send my grades down to hell.
  "Hey, (Y/N)," another Hufflepuff greets as they walk by, paying no mind to my doing. This grabs my attention and I look up.
  "What are you doing?" I ask. Behind the other Hufflepuff is a Ravenclaw, following them towards one of the boy's rooms.
  "Studies. This is my tutor," I look from one boy to another. The Ravenclaw waves shyly.
  "Hi."
  I greet them back, "Hi," and look back to the Hufflepuff. "We're not supposed to have other houses in our common."
"So? Where else are we supposed to study?"
I look almost blankly at the Hufflepuff. "The library." But, he only ignore me and heads into his room, the Ravenclaw following again. I shake my head and ignore the rule breaking boys, trying to focus on my notes again.

I'm not sure how long I managed to sit and stare at the paper of notes for but it was for quite a while. I finally get up, it had hit 11:00pm already, and leave my notes on the couch. I'm going to go get something to eat from the kitchen. As soon as I exited the Hufflepuff common room I'm met with some boys, some slytherin boys. They're all goofing off in the kitchen, making a mess and what not.
"Excuse me," I grasp their attention quickly. "You're not suppose to be out of your house, it's way past anyone's curfew."
In the pack of boys there's a blond, a very slightly chubby one, and one with dark skin. The blond smiles at me and lets out a small laugh, the other boys smile after him. "We're not doing any harm."
I cross my arms over my chest, "Making a mess that'll need to be cleaned is definitely some harm," I respond.
The blond nods towards me, "And who do you think you are telling us what to do, fourth year?"
"It doesn't take much to speak back to Slytherin, they're nothing but spoiled purebloods," I spit. "Now, get back to your commons." The boys behind the blond start to 'ooo' to my rude behaviour and mean words.
"You're just a Hufflepuff, you don't scare us," the chubbier one speak.
  I pull out my wand from my robe. "You're not allowed to use that," the blond loses his smile.
  "And you're not allowed to be out of your commons, but here we are," I say.
  The two goons start to chicken out, "Come on, Malfoy, let's just go."
  The blond's face goes hard. "Get, Draco." With my last threat the three leave.
  But before their out of my sight Draco turns his head for a glance at me and grunts, probably from frustration. I ignore it and start to clean the mess in the kitchen.
  "(L/N)," my eyes widen as my last name is said. Mid cleaning I stop and turn to face the tall, black haired, teacher. Snape.
  "Professer," I greet back shyly.
  "What's all this mess, and why are you out of your common room this late?" his last word is sharp and hurts to hear. It makes me feel like I'm in too much trouble.
  "Uh, I can't give you a good answer," I hesitate but continue. "I found a few Slytherin making a mess, they've gone now."
  "And you're cleaning their mess?" I nod to him.
  "Yes sir."
  Snape lifts his wand and the mess is cleaned within a few, long, seconds. "Let me catch you causing trouble again and you'll be getting detention, is this clear?"
  "But professor, it wasn't-"
  "Enough," he cuts me off. "Back to your house."
  I obey and head back into my common, letting frustrations take over. Fucking Slytherins.
