"Mind if I Slytherin to your Chamber of Secrets?"

"What the fuck, Keana," Camila said, giving the Gryffindor a puzzled look.

Keana sighed, plopping herself down on a chair. "Sorry, Ally told me to tell you that,"

Camila shrugged sheepishly. "It's okay,"

It was Saturday, two weeks after the first task, three weeks before the next. The crisp November air brought a slight chill to the castle; it was only a matter of time before it started to snow.

Keana coughed. "Do you understand the Animagus thing in Transfiguration?"

"Do you still not know the difference between that and a Metamorphmagus?" Camila asked. She thought she cleared that up.

"No, I get that, but um," Keana tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. "How do you become one?"

"Become one?" Camila asked. "You want to be an Animagus?"

"I mean, it seems really cool," Keana nodded. "Like, I would love to be able to shape shift into an animal,"

"I know it takes a really long process to get it approved by the Ministry and stuff," Camila coughed. "But that might be something you want to ask McGonagall about,"

"Oh okay," Keana said. She yawned.

"Tired much?" Camila smirked.

Keana rubbed her eye. "I spent last night binge watching the first season of Gossip Girl with my roommates,"

"Ah, Blake Lively," Camila hummed in approval. "I love her, hate Serena though,"

"Blair is my favorite, just not in the first season," Keana said. "Ally and Lauren were drooling over Nate,"

Camila nodded. "How do you watch Netflix in the castle?"

"I brought my laptop from home, solely for that purpose," Keana said. "I'm also watching Friends and The Vampire Diaries,"

"Friends is my favorite show!" Camila exclaimed. "I'm basically Chandler, because I make all these jokes and nobody laughs,"

"Him, Joey and Phoebe are my favorite, I can't stand Ross,"

"Oh my god, he's so whiny!" Camila huffed. "I hated him. He was such a dick to Susan, who was the only one who could see that he we an asshole,"

"I know, right? Do you watch How I Met Your Mother? Because Ted kinda reminded me of him,"

"No, I haven't seen that yet, my friend Shawn who lived in the Muggle world told me to watch Pretty Little Liars,"

"Isn't that a girly show?" Keana asked.

"Yeah, it was weird. This kid tried to get with me all summer, but I didn't know that until someone pointed it out to me. He looked so embarrassed when I told him I was gay," Camila chuckled. "He leaned in to kiss me one night after I hung out with a bunch of my Muggle friends. I freaked out and yelled 'I like vagina' in his face. It was pretty funny,"

"I can imagine," Keana laughed. "But yeah, PLL is good, Emily is hot as fuck,"

"I don't know why they ship her with Ali, I like Maya a lot more,"

"What season are you on?"

"The middle of the second,"

"Ah, just wait," Keana smirked. "What's your opinion on Mona?"

"She's alright, I guess," Camila shrugged. "Besides the Hanna and Caleb thing, I don't really have a problem with her,"

"Hmm... interesting,"

"Why?" Camila cocked her head to the side.

"No reason-"

"Hey guys," Ariana walked up behind them. She sat down in the seat next to Keana. "How's the studying session going?"

"Good," Camila smiled. "What's up?"

"The night quidditch match is tonight," Ariana raised her eyes suggestively.

"No,"

"Mila-"

"I am not playing,"

"Why not?"

"I'm awful at quidditch!"

"Only because you won't let me teach you!"

"Because I'll look stupid!"

"Not with my tutoring! I'm being recruited for the national league!"

"Ariana-"

"Please!"

"I don't-"

"Please!"

"What if I-"

"Please!"

"If I say yes will you shut up?"

"Yes," Ariana smiled triumphantly. "You can use my old broom, and Dinah and I would be there to help you, I think Hailee is joining us,"

"Where's the sleepover after?" Keana asked.

Ariana thought for a moment. "Last time it was in Ravenclaw Tower, so this time it's our turn,"

"Gryffindors don't usually come when it's in the Dungeons, same with us when it's in Gryffindor tower," Camila shrugged. "But if you stay around me and Ariana, we'll make sure no one bothers you,"

Camila's eyes widened, scared that she made an assumption. "That is if you want to, if you don't feel comfortable I understand and-"

"No that's fine," Keana cut in. "I'd love to stay with you guys,"

"Great, that's perfect," Ariana clapped. "I have to go see if Dinah asked Normani yet, I'll catch you guys later,"

"Have you ever played in the nightly quidditch matches?" Keana asked once Ariana was gone.

Camila's ears turned pink. "Once, in my third year. I played a Keeper. Brad Simpson almost knocked me off my broom and I broke my wrist because he hit a Bludger at me. Ariana then knocked him off his broom and he was in a coma for a week,"

"I'm surprised Ariana hasn't been expelled yet,"

"Her family is a big Hogwarts name. She's like a great-times-a-hundred grand-niece of Salazar Slytherin,"

Keana's eyes widened. "S-so-"

"Yeah, she's related to Voldemort, but distantly. I think her ancestor was Slytherin's sister or something," Camila said.

"But weren't her family Death Eaters?"

"Her parents weren't, actually, she's the first in her immediate family to be in Slytherin, besides her Nonna of course. Her Nonna was a Death Eater, but that's because she believed in what Voldemort did, which was terrifying," Camila shuddered.

"Wow,"

"I know. But Ariana's not bad, she's one of the greatest people I know. She's my favorite human being," Camila said. "They put her on trial when she was younger, to make sure her parents weren't trying to put ideas in her head. But her mom was a Ravenclaw and her dad and brother were in Hufflepuff. They want nothing to do with Voldemort since he brought a bad name to their family,"

"Interesting," Keana said. "So that's why they can't expel her?"

"Probably," Camila admitted. "She knows they can't kick her out so she can get away with anything,"

"Like stealing from Lily Potter?"

"You know about that?" Camila asked, voice hollow. "In her defense, Filch took it from Lily and Ariana took it from Filch,"

"No it's fine, I won't tell Lil," Keana assured. "She's wondering where her stuff is, though,"

They sat in a comfortable silence, looking at each other happily. Camila felt an odd feeling in her stomach, something she only felt around two, maybe three, people.

"So, um," Camila cleared her throat. "What animal do you think your Animagus would be?"

~~

"Here, take my old broom, I named it Mariah," Dinah said, shoving a broom into Hailee's hand. She turned to Camila. "And this is Rihanna,"

"I can't believe you listen to Muggle music," Ariana chuckled.

"I would become a Muggle for my queens," Dinah said dramatically.

"Oh my. Dedication,"

"Of course, I will be using my prize possession, Beyoncé," Dinah tossed her hair over her shoulder. She hugged the broomstick close to her chest.

"Alright, I'm ready to die," Camila announced, adjusting her fleece jacket. She was dressed in a Slytherin Quidditch rugby, Luke's old one that he grew out of, and black leggings, completed with Converse All-Stars.

"Don't be so dramatic," Ariana punched her shoulder. "You're going to do great. You did just fine before those ugly ass Gryffindor wannabes knocked you off,"

"They were actual Gryffindors,"

"No they weren't," Ariana looked disgusted. "In my eyes, a true Gryffindor is selfless, and caring, and would fight for what they believe in. They're not those pretentious stuck-up assholes most of them are,"

"They're not all bad," Camila defended.

"Name five,"

"Ally, Keana, Ashton, Calum, Harry,"

"Alright, I give you that. But they're like the only ones," Ariana shrugged. "Us Slytherins stick together. Plus, we get booed by those fucking Gryffindors together. And we slay together,"

There was a knock at the door. It was Luke.

"What's up, ladies?" he asked. "You look good in my shirt, Mila,"

"Thanks," Camila said. "Ready to go?"

"Did you want to borrow my bat? Ariana told me you were playing today," Luke asked as they walked towards the quidditch pitch.

"If you have an extra one. I think we have every position except the other Beater," Camila said.

"Yeah it's gonna be mixed tonight," Ariana said. "Me, you, Dinah, Alycia, Hailee, Niall, and Luke are one team,"

"Sweet. Who are we playing against?" Luke asked.

"I think a Beauxbatons team first,"

"Noice,"

The dungeons were getting set up for the sleepover, placing down mattresses and blankets. It was a tradition that after every night quidditch game, which happened every Friday. Tonight was the first night it happened this year, since the season started tomorrow with the Hufflepuff vs Ravenclaw match.

"We'll win, we have two captains on our team," Dinah smirked, referring to herself and Alycia. "Plus, Ariana is basically my co-captain, so we technically have three captains on one team,

"And me. We can pick up where Hailee and Camila are lacking," Luke chuckled.

"I'm good at quidditch, I guess," Hailee shrugged. "I play it with my cousins on holidays, not like you guys though, but I make a fairly good Chaser,"

"Then it's settled," Ariana smiled, stepping onto the pitch. "Me, Dinah, and Hailee are Chasers, Alycia's the Seeker, Niall's the Keeper, and Luke and Camila are the Beaters,"

The quidditch pitch was set up with food tables and bets being placed. Students were standing around chattering before the match, excited for what lied ahead in the night.

"Cameela!" a voice called out. Camila smiled before Normani tackled her in a hug.

"How are you? I have not seen you since Madame Lovato made us take separate classes," Normani pouted. Demi did this because she did not want two Triwizard Champions fraternizing.

"I've been good. Have you figured out the rock thing yet?" Camila asked.

Normani let out a pfft! sound. "No, it is tres hard! Even my friend Zendaya has trouble!" she gestured to the girl next to her. Zendaya shrugged.

"Are you playing tonight?" Alycia asked, eying the brooms in the two girls hands. Normani nodded.

"Oui. At Beauxbatons I played Seeker,"

"Aight, swag. This match will be lit," Dinah said, clapping her hands together. "Let's do this,"

The team walked over to Niall's girlfriend, Selena, who organizes the night matches.

"Hey guys," the fellow Slytherin smiled. "You'll be playing against Coleman's team from Beauxbatons. Jauregui and Morgan's teams are next to you,"

"Great, thanks Sel," Ariana nodded. "How did you organize this? It looks better than last year!"

"Believe it or not, it was all made in the A.M.. Doing stuff like this makes me feel like I have purpose," Selena shrugged.

The team smiled before the other Slytherin had to run off, hastily trying to make the last minute touches for the games. Ariana clapped her hands together. She took a deep breath.

"Alright team, bring it in," Ariana said, gathering her team in a huddle. She was known for her motivational speeches before a game. Well... speech, as she repeats the same one before every game.

"Now I don't know about you, but I'm going to put my everything into this game. And if each of you put just a little bit of your heart into this, we can fucking kick their ass. We're going to go in there like 'bang! bang!' and rip them from the inside out. Their best mistake will be challenging us, and after that they're going to be like, 'why try? They're the best.' And it's true. Because we are! After this match, we're going to have one less problem, because we're going to advance to the finals,"

Ariana beat her broom to the ground to exaggerate her point. "Let's do this!"

"Oh no," Camila groaned. She dreaded this moment. Camila couldn't even walk on two feet how would she be able to control a broomstick?

Alycia walked up behind Camila. "You okay?"

"If I fall off my broom, will you catch me?" Camila asked.

Alycia took a moment to think. She cracked a smile. "Probably not,"

"Fantastic," Camila grumbled. She started walking towards the first field, waiting for her impending doom.

"C'mon, you got this," Luke encouraged once Camila was in the air. She gripped her broom for dear life.

"I really don't," Camila said hoarsely. "I usually watch. I haven't picked up a broom in like, three years,"

"It's easy, don't worry," Luke reassured. The first whistle went off. "Well, I'm off,"

Camila stayed floating in the same spot, too terrified to move. The game against Normani's team went unnoticed because Camila was so scared.

She didn't realize Dinah was screaming at her until the Bludger almost hit her face.

Camila yelped, lurching her broom to the side. She freaked out, realizing that her broom was moving downwards. She yanked up, causing the broom to shoot upwards. It was out of control.

Suddenly, she stopped moving.

"Loosen your grip," a voice ordered. "You're choking it too much,"

Camila opened her eyes. Lauren was hovering right next to her, and they were hundreds of feet in the air, higher than any of the players, in the clouds. She must have left her match to help.

Lauren let go of Camila's broom, her holding onto it because she stopped it moments before.

"Jesus, Camz. You almost gave me a heart attack,"

"Sorry," Camila mumbled. The cold air wasn't the only thing making her cheeks turn pink.

"If you grip the broom too tightly, it makes you go faster," Lauren explained.

"I'm new at this, I didn't know," Camila fiddled with the bat in her hand, embarrassed.

Lauren studied her, Camila couldn't read her expression.

"C'mere. I want to show you something," Lauren said. When she realized that Camila didn't have the slightest clue about how to do that, she moved on her own.

"Flying is actually kind of simple, if you want to go right, you lean right, and if you want to go left you lean left," Lauren explained. She demonstrated it slightly.

"And if you want to go faster you choke up your hands and lean forward, and to slow down simply lean back," Lauren flew around Camila until she was positioned in front of her. "Alright, let's see you try,"

Camila took a deep breath before thrusting her weight to one side. It jerked to the right, Camila screwing her eyes shut. She flew about twenty feet sideways, before centering herself on the broom again.

"Not like that!" Lauren scolded, flying over to the other girl. "Fuck, Camz. Does everything you do have to be hard and fast?"

Lauren's eyes widened when she realized what she insinuated. Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

"I can't believe I just said that," she whispered, mortified.

"I can't believe you said that either," Camila said, shocked. The fact that Lauren alluded to their tryst so casually was the last thing Camila expected.

The two looked at each other, shock and horror evident on their faces. It wasn't until the whistle blew signaling that one of the matches was over that they snapped out of their daze.

"So, um," Lauren coughed. "I-it's lean right, go right, and, um, y-you-"

"Lo," Camila interrupted.

"Y-yes?"

"You don't have to be nervous around me, it's okay,"

Lauren's ears still turned pink.

"Right, well, um, I hope my tips helped," Lauren refused to meet Camila's eyes, flying back down towards the field. Camila watched her fly back down, before following her slightly after.

"Where'd you go?" Hailee asked once Camila was back on the vicinity of the field. Their game was over and they were waiting to be told who their next opponents were.

"She was up in the clouds making goo-goo eyes with Jauregui," Niall snickered.

"I was not!" Camila protested.

"I thought after you slept with her that you got it out of your system," Alycia said. Ariana looked at her, concerned, then disapproving. Her expression mimicked the one Sinu gives Camila when she's in trouble.

"That's what I thought too," she said dryly.

~~

"You definitely remind me of Laura," Keana said, biting the head off her chocolate frog. "You're both giant dorks,"

"I'm not that big of a dork!" Camila giggled.

It was 7:30 in the morning, Camila and Keana not sleeping a wink. After all of the others fell asleep at the annual sleepover, Camila and Keana started talking about their celebrity crushes.

"I'm in love with Elise Bauman," Keana admitted earlier. She was the only Gryffindor there, as her housemates tended to opt out of anything that had to do with Slytherin due to the rivalry. The Slyths were nice to her though, knowing that she was a friend of Camila's.

"You mean Baeman," Camila put a hand over her heart. "My baby,"

"She's so precious, I literally cannot wait for Almost Adults. I need it so bad,"

"Her pretending to be Carmilla in that role reversal episode with Natasha completed my entire life," Camila fawned. She flopped her head down on her pillow. "I love her so much,"

"When did she pretend to be Carmilla?" Keana asked. She must have missed that episode.

"You haven't seen it?" Camila asked. Keana shook her head. "Okay, well we're watching it. Right now,"

Which lead the, to where they are now: in Camila's room, binge watching the entire series while eating the endless supply of junk food Camila keeps under her bed.

"Kirsh is too good for this world," Camila said. "He's like a little puppy,"

"Hollstein definitely banged in episode five of season two, you can't convince me otherwise," Keana ran a hand through her hair. "Do you ship Negovanman?"

"I fucking Titanic it, they would be hot as hell,"

"You see, my problem with that is that I want them to date, but then again I also want them to date me," Keana admitted. She sighed. "Do you see my dilemma?"

"Nah, I feel that," Camila smiled. "I'm so happy you're a Creampuff. I tried showing this show to my friends but they can't get over the fact that it's made by a tampon company,"

"It's my guilty pleasure," Keana grinned. "I mean, who wouldn't love lesbian vampires at college?"

Camila took this time to look at Keana. Like, really look at her. There was no denying that she was beautiful. Even though she wasn't wearing makeup and she looked worn out and tired, she was gorgeous. Her wavy hair fell over her shoulders, tousled just the slightest. Her angular face looked delicate, like an angel. And her lips looked so damn soft. If only Camila could-

"YO. KARLA CAMILA CABELLO ESTRABAO," Dinah bellowed, throwing open the door. Camila and Keana jumped apart, Camila falling off her bed.

Camila was scared, to say the least. Dinah had an angry look in her eyes, and the fact that Dinah was up before eleven meant she was on a mission.

Camila whimpered, petrified and wondering what she did to make Dinah so angry.

Dinah huffed, more annoyed than she was angry. How could she not be? She felt like she was lied to.

"Why the fuck didn't you tell me you have a girlfriend?" Dinah asked, throwing her hands in the air.

"You have a girlfriend?" Keana asked, sounding a little disappointed.

"I do?" Camila asked Dinah, confused.

"Uh yeah," Dinah said to Keana. "It's you, idiot,"
