Monday, 15th February 1993:

MENTE STRIAE:

It had been 2 months since the new year and today was Artemis' 13th birthday.

To be honest she was very excited about it.

She didn't mind her other birthdays, but she thought this one was more special.

She was finally a teenager, even though she acted like she was older.

Her calculated and perceptive persona led many people to think she was older than she truly was.

She was only the second oldest in her group; it was Blaise, her, Daphne, Theo, then Draco.

She couldn't wait for the other 3 to become 13, she preferred when they were all the same age, despite it only lasting 5 months.

Another thing she liked about her birthday month was that she shared it with her grandfather.

The odd thing was Septrim despised his birthday, he ignored it like it was just another random day in the year.

He of course spoiled his granddaughter, with anything he could think of, but he rejected every and any gift he received.

He did not explain as to why he didn't want to celebrate his birthday, Artemis assumed it was due to his age, but she still sent him a gift, just in case he randomly changed his mind.

Thankfully she and the rest of her group had no lessons today, so they spent the day celebrating in their headquarters.

She had received many gifts, the majority of them being from her aunts and mother.

Her favorites were a record player that her mother had bought her when she was visiting New Orleans, when she and Ophelia were on a business trip.

A poem that Draco had written for her, she had received many jewels and clothes from her best friend but for some reason, she preferred the poem he had written onto a parchment for her.

He had told her to read it when she was alone, so she waited in anticipation.

Theo had bought her a polaroid camera, he had seen many of the muggle cameras when he was abroad with his parents and had thought it was a handy little gadget.

While Daphne and Blaise had brought many designer clothes, some of which had been embroidered with diamonds. She had to ship them back home, just in case they would be stolen.

Currently, the pureblood 5, were huddled up, trying to take the perfect picture, whilst the record player was singing in the background.

Draco didn't want to be captured, especially since he didn't have any gel in his hair, but he begrudgingly put down his sketchpad and got involved.

For Artemis' sake, he kept telling himself.

The two girls were sitting on the chairs, while the boys were on their knees behind them. Daphne was holding the camera up, trying to get the best angle, as the camera kept flashing.

Theo rubbed his eyes, "Bloody hell, it's going to burn my retinas."

"Blaise you just ruined that one." Daphne huffed and pulled the picture out, shaking it so it would develop.

The Zabini wizard scoffed, "Don't lie, you know I look good." the blonde turned away, trying to conceal her blush. Artemis and Theo chuckled at her embarrassed state.

Draco continued to whine, "Hurry up, my knees are getting tired."

"Phrasing." Theo and Blaise said in unison, resulting in Draco flipping them both off.

Draco furrowed his brow, "We've taken like 20, how are we not out of film?" The cousins and the blonde shrugged as they continued to look at the previous pictures that had already been taken.

Theo rolled his eyes, "Because I bought an infinite supply you prick."

Draco snapped his gaze at the boy, a glare appearing on both of their faces, "Shut up you fool."

The other three groaned, already knowing where this was heading.

Since Christmas day, their attitude towards each other has grown. Draco usually instigated each argument, whilst Theo had added more fuel to the fire, not caring about the words that escaped his mouth.

Although it was entertaining to watch, it had gotten more tiring to break up.

It was obvious that they didn't hate each other, but that they didn't particularly like each other, which only put more pressure on the other members of the group to keep the peace between the two wizards.

"Albino-looking bitch." Theo retorted with a wide grin.

"Beast eating slag." Draco spat.

"Waste of flesh."

"Waste of magic."

"Waste-" Blaise put his hands up and pushed the two away from each other. Since he was in the middle, he didn't like how close they had gotten to his face, getting uncomfortable with their proximity to him.

Eww

Let me breath

I hate Mondays

And Monday's clearly hated him.

"Guys shut up." Blaise, Artemis, and Daphne shouted simultaneously, snapping the other two out of their heated looks.

Draco huffed and pointed at the Nott wizard, "But he-"

"It's my birthday, shut up," Artemis repeated, instantly silencing him. The two argumentative wizards looked away guiltily. They didn't intend to mess up her celebrations, but they both had to have the last word.

They both swallowed harshly, "Sorry Arty." Draco muttered.

"Sorry Temi." Theo shot her a sad smile. She shrugged, not caring in the slightest, she just wanted some attention.

Blaise smacked the back of their heads, causing them to glare at him and snickering from the witches, "Umm, you guys should apologize to me, for being all up in my face."

The two went to object but the birthday girl nodded in agreement, "Apologize to B. '' she spoke sternly. Daphne snorted at her authoritative tone and continued expecting the pictures, trying to pick the best one.

"Sorry bro." the 12-year-old wizards said reluctantly.

"Thank you," Blaise grinned and then looked down at the blonde, "which one is the best Daph?"

They all turned to her expectantly, she held up her favorite.

It was one of the first ones they had taken.

Draco had his arm around Artemis' shoulder, whilst she held up her and Daphne's pinkies; both witches were smiling at each other, Blaise was kissing the top of the blonde's head as Theo flipped them all off.

They all started to laugh at the "It's perfect." Theo mused.

Draco nodded, staring directly at the Seramore witch, "Love it."

"We should put it next to the 'ghosts of the past' wall," Daphne spoke excitedly, looking at the cousins.

Artemis beamed at her friend, "Brilliant idea Daph."

The Greengrass witch squealed in excitement, she quickly rose from her seat and skipped over to the wall.

Theo leaned back, disgusted by her behavior, he was still half asleep, "She has never had this much energy in the morning."

Blaise snorted, but stared longingly at the blonde, "Probably sprinkled crack in her cereal."

"Accidentally snorted some coke?" Artemis added with a grin.

They had watched many gangster films in the past two months.

The occasional horror.

And many Tim burton films.

Blame Septrim.

"Or she's just happy?" Draco thought aloud, they 3 turned to him with a knowing look.

"Nah." they burst out laughing.

Once Daphne had returned she had begun to organize the other pictures, figuring out who could keep certain ones.

The rest of the group had returned to what they had been doing before the mini photoshoot, humming along to a song that was playing in the background.

Theo looked at the Zabini boy, who was standing near the record player, "Turn it up B." Blaise turned up the dial, the sound waves hit each corner of the room.

"Who is it?, his voice is nice" Daphne questioned. She usually listened to pop music, she didn't care if it was basic, she liked what she liked.

The cousins shared a smile before answering, "Louis Armstrong."

"Mum loves him, she loves anything to do with Jazz," Artemis added. She didn't notice the glances from her best friend, whilst he looked back at his various sketches.

"Which is why she and my mum visit New Orleans a lot," Blaise informed the group as he nodded his head to the beat.

Theo raised a brow, "Why New Orleans?"

Blaise shrugged, "Jazz originated in New Orleans in the second half of the 19th century. New Orleans had people coming in from around the world, socializing, and sharing their music. Apparently, music from all over the world could be heard in the streets of New Orleans." Daphne gazed at the Zabini wizard, loving how passionately he spoke about music.

She started to wish that she could visit one day.

Blaise's eyes widened and strolled to Artemis, offering his hand out to his cousin, she had playfully rolled her eyes and accepted his gesture, the two started laughing and swaying to the music, whilst the others smiled at the scene.

"The colors of the rainbow, So pretty in the sky,

Are also on the faces, Of people going by"

Blaise spun his cousin around, causing her to crash into her best friend's arms. She didn't even realize that he had left his seat, but he smirked at the blush that was appearing across his caramel-colored cheeks.

"I see friends shaking hands, saying, "How do you do?"

They're really saying, "I love you."

Theo had snapped a few more pictures of the heartwarming scene before Blaise had gestured to him to dance with him. Draco dipped the birthday girl, she giggled and he brought her closer to him.

"I hear babies cry, I watch them grow,

they'll learn much more, than I'll never know."

The Zabini wizard spun Daphne around a couple of times, Theo joined the two in a loving embrace.

"And I think to myself, what a wonderful world,

Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world."

Their little dance ended and Artemis quickly left the room.

She had told the group she had to open some of her other presents as an excuse, but she wanted to read Draco's poem.

He had told her it was an acrostic poem, as he hated writing haiku's, claiming that there were too basic and not good enough for her.

So she walked back to her shared dorm.

Thanking everyone who had wished her a great day, even Millicent had nervously said 'happy birthday to her just in case, she brutally beat her up, still scared of the Seramore, since that day in the library.

Pansy of course glared at the Artemis, not uttering a word, as she sauntered through the common room.

Since their fight, Pansy had recovered from her several broken ribs, broken nose, damaged scalp, and bruised cheekbones.

She was pissed how no one told the truth about what happened that day and how Snape how chose to believe the "Rogue Bludger", story.

She felt humiliated and embarrassed, as each time she walked through the halls of the school students started to call her "Pummelled Parkinson." the name stuck, furthering the dark-haired girl's shame.

Daphne even made t-shirts with the nickname on them, with help from the pureblood cousins as they had nothing better to do.

Most Slytherins wore them on the weekends, even some Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs bought some.

Artemis had fed off Pansy's pain, relishing in all of it.

She knew beating the girl to a pulp wasn't enough for her, she needed her to be humbled, but her peers.

When she had arrived at her dorm, she closed it quickly, placing a silencing and lock spell on the door, knowing Daphne would remain in Mente Striae with the boys.

She sat on her comfortable bed and crossed her legs, as her eyes ran across the writing on the parchment.

A light in this dark and gloomy world.

Reckless and messy are words that could never describe you.

Timeless in this universe and the next.

Ethereal in your beauty and your brains too.

Magnificent in everything you do.

Influential more than you will ever know.

Supernova but your life won't end it will only grow.

Her heart fluttered at every line, she reread it a couple of times.  she held the poem close to her chest, grinning over every letter.

Her whole body grew hotter and her heart beat faster.

The thoughts in her head went wild.

What does this mean?

Does Draco like me?

Do I like him?

He just wrote it as a gift.

He couldn't like me.

We're only friends.

Right?

Right.

She kept the poem close to her chest, wishing to never let it go.

And never to let him go.

Friday, 19th March:

QUIDDITCH FIELD:

Quidditch training had become more intense since they had come entered the new year.

More broken bones.

Sore muscles.

Concussions.

And that's just within the first hour of training.

Marcus needed the team to win for another consecutive year, so he had also increased the hours that they had to train for.

Artemis didn't have an issue with it, because she hated to lose, but obviously, she used her healing spell on both her and Draco, so they could perform better.

The only one who grew suspicious of this was Graham.

Since he had a crush on the Seramore witch, he noticed how she also had much more energy than the other team members.

Artemis always felt eyes on her during training, it was usually from the majority of the team, she ignored it and always carried on.

So today, she thought it was time to announce her new spell to the team.

She had her wand prepared just in case they needed proof, or if she needed to hex someone for attempting to steal and claim her spell.

She luckily didn't take her cousins again, or that would've been a mess.

Over the last month, the cousins have accidentally used each other's wands, causing various fires and explosions.

On Daphne's birthday, Blaise accidentally set Theo's uniform on fire. The Nott wizard was not impressed and planned to get him back.

So the day after that, he had poured water over the sleeping Zabini wizard, almost causing him to drown, Theo slept like a baby after that. The two had promised no more pranking, to prevent the loss of their mental health and the rest of their friends.

So to ensure that the cousins didn't get their wands mixed up, they both kept them in their socks just in case.

So on the quidditch field, the Slytherin team had finally wrapped up another 4-hour practice.

The team lowered themselves onto the ground and came together.

Groans, whimpers, and sighs were to be heard from everyone.

Adrian Pucey, Miles Beltchly, Marcus Flint, Graham Montague, Lucien bole, Derrick Perigrine, Draco, and Artemis all stood, huddling together, using their brooms to hold themselves up.

Marcus sighed and spoke up looking at his exhausted team, "Good session today guys, keep it up." was all he said, clearly wanting to go back to his room to sleep off the pain.

The two best friends shared a look before the witch's voice cut through the whines of the group, "Marcus, can I make an announcement?" her eyes locked onto her captain, drawing everyone's attention to her.

"Princess AJ were all tir-" he cuts himself off when he sees her glare, "go ahead." he gestures for her to continue.

Draco suppresses a groan, he hated how everyone has a nickname for his best friend. Since the Slytherin team had found out everyone's middle names, they had mainly used 'AJ', when referring to the girl. Some of them had just thought that her name was too long to say, along with 'Artemis Joelle', so they shortened it.

The Seramore witch didn't have a problem with it at all, she liked nicknames, which meant that she had built friendships with some of the team, even though it might have been one-sided, she still liked their alternative name for herself.

"Thank you," she clears her throat and a few of the team laugh at her dramatics, Draco smiles at her, "some of you have noticed that I'm performing better than you."

Marcus lets out a chuckle, and a subtle nod, knowing that she is right.

Bletchley made a noise of disagreement, "I wouldn't say better-"

She puts her hand up to cut "I'm not finished," he shrinks back and moves closer to Bole, causing the latter to snicker, "like I was saying, I have been performing better than you, but there is a reason for that."

"Drugs?"

"Alcohol?"

"You have a clone?"

Everyone looked towards, Fletchley, Bole, and Montague in confusion and then back at the girl, "No, no and I wish."

Having a clone would save a lot more time.

Maybe I should make- Artemis shook her head at her inner thoughts.

"Than what is it, Princess AJ?"

"I may or may not have created a spell that will heal your injuries by speeding up the time by 50%"

They all stood there in silence for a while, processing the words that the pureblood witch spoke.

Some looked at her in shock, others in disbelief.

While Draco stood there proud, winking at the girl, causing her heartbeat to increase.

He knew intelligent she is, he didn't care that she held more smarts than him.

He would proudly announce that he was dumber than her because he thought it was an honour to even be best friends with her.

She grinned at their shocked faces, "Any questions?"

"How?" Adrian asked first.

"When?" Lucien questioned, his eyes were wide, he couldn't believe it.

Marcus snorted, "Bloody hell." he wasn't as shocked as the rest of them. She's a Seramore, so he didn't question for actions.

"Use it on me now," Graham spoke, a little too eagerly, she rolled her eyes at the boy,

Miles stepped forward, "Please I need it."

They all began showing off their injuries, exaggerating their pain, so they could be seen first, by the witch.

The two best friends, notice that they are attracting way too much attention.

Draco spoke up, "Okay, okay everyone back away," he made the team move a couple of steps back.

"I'll show you guys and use it on you," they all smiled widely, despite the discomfort from using their face muscles, "but you can't tell anyone yet, okay?" They all nodded enthusiastically.

"I won't."

"Me neither."

"I promise."

Artemis narrows her eyes at them all, not believing a word coming out of their mouths. The only one she slightly trusts is Marcus, but even then, she can't be too sure.

"Everyone, swear to Emrys." they gasp at the request.

Swearing to Emrys was extreme.

Since Artemis was younger, she believed that if you swore on Emrys' name and then went on to lie, you could risk death.

Most purebloods had taken this very seriously.

None of them knew this was just a way for their parents to stop them from lying, so they had to go on with it.

"Blimey AJ."

"Shit."

"Oh, Merlin."

"I have to be sure," she looked at the grinning platinum-haired boy, "we have to be sure." he placed his arm around her, wincing when he moved too fast.

The team had gotten used to their affection towards each other, even if they didn't like it; Graham especially.

Marcus shrugs, "I swear," he looked at the rest of his team, "everyone swear right now, or you're off the team." their jaws dropped, then simultaneously gulped in fear.

"We swear to Emrys that we'll keep our mouths shut." they all said in unison.

"Good." she gestured them all to come closer so she could present to them the spell. She looked at their captain, "Marcus, hold out your arm please." he obliged, she withdrew her wand from her sock, "ieiunium sanitatem." he winced as the pain began to heal, he smiled at her as the feeling of contentment took over his limb.

The rest of the team looked at her in awe, Draco leaned down and whispered, "Tu es brillante." you're brilliant. She grinned and winked at him.

Miles shoved Marcus to the side, almost knocking him off his feet, "Me next."

Lucian shook his head, "No me."

"AJ, me next." Adrian moved forward.

"Nope, I'm basically dying." Derrick.

"I'm already dead." Graham exaggerated.

"I wish," Draco mumbled, receiving a glare from the boy.

Artemis laughed, Marcus shares a look with the girl, "everyone shut up," he yells, making the team stop arguing, "well-done princess, I'm proud." he starts clapping for the witch.

The rest of the team slowly nods and starts applauding her.

They soon stop, when their muscles grow tense, "bloody hell, I'm going to die."

"Shut up Derrick."

Saturday, March 27th:

ARMOURY:

It had been a week since Artemis had revealed her spell to her Quidditch team and luckily none of them had said a word to anyone about it.

It had helped that Marcus had threatened to kick them off the team if they told anyone.

But something about this week had felt off.

She felt like she was being watched more than usual.

She knew she wasn't seeing things or was being paranoid.

So when she had gotten a letter, from an unknown source to meet in the Armoury, she had felt anxious.

She wasn't sure whether to go or not, but when she had shown Daphne, the blonde encouraged her to go but kept her wand at the ready. She also told the Seramore witch that if she wasn't back in 30 minutes and had been killed she would blow up the school, to avenge her.

Artemis was making her way up to the unusual room. It was on the third floor of the school, so the fact she had to trek up 3 flights of stairs pissed her off.

She wished Draco was here to give her a piggyback ride. Speaking of the Malfoy wizard, she didn't know what to think of him anymore.

Yes, they had been best friends since birth, but that poem completely threw her off. She found herself blushing a lot more around him, which she hated.

She told herself to stop feeling this way because she knew he didn't feel the same.

So she pushed away whatever she was feeling because he is her best friend and that's all we'll ever be.

She recomposed herself when she reached the third floor.

She stood between the trophy room and the armoury, eyes darting between each door.

She slowed her heartbeat and turned towards the armoury, looking the door up and down. She reached her hand towards the handle, but before she could touch it, the door swung open and she was pulled inside.

Merda Merda Merda. Shit shit shit.

She pulled out her wand and before she could utter a spell, two figures stood in front of her.

"Bloody hell," she muttered and lowered her wand.

In front of her were two 3rd year witches.

The two 14-year-olds stepped forward, the taller of the two decided to speak up, with a sly smirk on her face, "Artemis Seramore."

Her brown eyes darted between the two, "Who am I talking to?" she crossed her arms causing the other girls to smile at her attitude.

"Aurora Routledge." The witch stood tall, her light auburn hair shone in the sunlight, her olive skin; blemish-free, and her plump lips were pursed.

Half-blood. Artemis concluded. And beautiful.

She hummed, "Ravenclaw witch."

"Wow, she does have brains." Aurora mused, while her friend snorted.

Artemis smiled sarcastically and narrowed her eyes, "And beauty so doesn't forget about that."

"I haven't", the other witch spoke for the first time. Artemis' gaze snapped to her, her eyes widened slightly and her heartbeat quickened. "I'm Alana Hoffman, you can call me Lana if you want." She had bronze-coloured skin, wavy black hair, round lips, and thick eyebrows.

She's gorgeous. "You're in Hufflepuff." They are an attractive pair.

"What gave it away?" she gestured to her bright yellow scarf that was wrapped around her neck. Artemis let out a laugh, "you're probably wondering why we invited you here."

The narrow room was dark, but the tall windows let the sun shine through and light up the suits of armour. The standing silhouettes of metal, held long swords like they were waiting to attack.

Of course, they wanted to meet here, Artemis held back an eye roll. "Obviously."

Aurora cleared her throat, bringing the attention back to her, "We are the two people that will change your life."

Artemis was a little taken back, "Two 3rd years?" she wasn't trying to sound bitchy for once, even though her tone acted as she did.

The Ravenclaw witch scoffed, "Don't be bitch."

"I wasn't trying to be, but ok." Artemis raised her hands in mock defence, making Alana chuckle.

"Rory is a bitch." the wavy-haired girl said, nodding her head to her friend.

Aurora glared at her friend, before she could respond, the Seramore witch cut her off, "Aren't we all."

The Ravenclaw witch's defensive demeanour faltered and nodded at her, "Right."

"So, how are you guys going to change my life?" she pondered, looking between the two older witches.

The auburn-haired witch puffed out her chest, "Well we're technically the queens of our houses."

"I don't disagree with that."

"We knew you wouldn't." Alana smiled at the younger witch. "We have authority over our houses." the 13-year-old nodded with a smirk, "and since this year has been an utter mess, we were thinking that our houses should come together and control things behind the scenes."

The two 3rd years looked at the Seramore expectantly, they noticed how stoic her face had gotten. She didn't give much away. "What about the Gryffindors?" Artemis asked.

They all stood in silence before the room erupted with laughter, "um yeah, no." Alana shook her head.

Aurora nodded towards her friend, with a grin on her face. "We don't need their recklessness and hero complexes, ruining the vibe."

"Understandable." Artemis snickered.

"Plus we know you're like a term away from punching them all in the face." Alana added, the youngest witch slapped her hand over her mouth, trying to conceal her laughter, "yes, we were in the library when you went all 'Tony Montana' on your two peers."

Artemis thought back to her fight, "She was talking way too much and didn't have the fists to back it up."

"She's a Parkinson's, it's what they deserve." Aurora shrugged, Ravenclaws didn't like the sound of the whiny girl. She sighed deeply and took out a packet of cigarettes, and set it alight with her hand.

Artemis was shocked at the use of wandless magic, she knew she needed to start her research on it soon, "You smoke?"

Alana snorted and looked at her friend, "The stress of having to be at the top of every class got to her so she had to turn to nicotine." they watched as the Ravenclaw witch exhaled the smoke and looked at Artemis.

"You don't mind?"

The Seramore witch shook her head, "My mum smokes cigars." Celeste only smoked when she was stressed or had to help her twin do something dodgy.

Artemis had caught her mother smoking a lot, it didn't bother her because she knew it was a way to relieve stress.

Alana grinned at the mention of the Seramore fashion designer, "I love her already."

"And the way you two look, she would love you as well." the older witches blushed at Artemis' comment. "We need rules." she blurted out.

Alana cocked her head to the side, "What kind?"

Artemis clicked her tongue, "To keep the peace between our houses?"

"The girls aren't the problem, the boys will probably step out of line," Aurora spoke up, once she finished her cigarette.

"100%." the other two witches spoke in unison.

"So why don't we make the rules for just us girls," Aurora asked.

Artemis nodded, "We each make some and then we come together and decide which ones are the best."

"Deal." the two older witches nodded.

Artemis turned to leave but something dawned on her, "Also can I make one small request?"

"Go ahead." Alana smiled and encouraged her to speak.

"I don't think we should call ourselves, Queens."

The 3rd furrowed their eyebrows, a confused expression flashed across their face, "Then what else would describe us, because we sure as hell aren't ladies." Aurora huffed.

Alana snorted, "With the way you smoke, definitely not." the witches let out chuckles.

The Seramore witch began to think, racking her brain of new ideas.

She thought 'princesses' were too basic.

'Ladies' were heavily inaccurate, especially due to all of their traits.

Her eyes widen and she cleared her throat, "Do you guys watch Mobster films?" Artemis inquired.

The older wishes nodded enthusiastically, "Scarface is my favourite." Aurora admitted.

Artemis turned towards the Hufflepuff girl as she spoke up, "I prefer the shows; sopranos, magnum PI, Miami Vice."

Crime films were a hit amongst her house, they all watched them weekly in their common room.

"Well, since we all like them, why don't we call ourselves the Don's?" the Seramore witch suggested.

"Why Dons?"

"The Mob trumps the monarchy," Artemis spoke like it was obvious and the other two witches couldn't disagree with that.

"Can't argue with that." Alana shrugged.

Aurora nodded along, "Me either."

Artemis cleared her throat dramatically, "So Don Hufflepuff," Alana winked at her, before they looked at Aurora, making her smile, " Don Ravenclaw,I' ll see you soon." She had 5 minutes to get back to her dorm before Daphne blew up the school soon.

She turned to approach the door, before Alana's voice stopped her, "Wait, is your friend single? Daphne?"

Artemis turned around slightly stunned, whilst Aurora rolled her eyes at her friend's lack of subtly, "She is, but she's in love with my cousin."

Alana slumped her shoulders, "Fuck, are you single?"

Artemis eyes widened, she was speechless, "Um-"

Aurora cut her off, "She's in love with Malfoy" she smirked at the flustered girl. Everyone and anyone with eyes could see how the two Slytherins were basically already a couple.

Alana fake gagged, "Eww heteros."

"I'm not in love with him, we're- "

"Best friends." The two 3rd years spoke simultaneously.

"For now," Aurora rolled her eyes, "see you soon Don Slytherin."

Artemis composed herself and looked away from the other two, "bye Dons." she practically raced out of the room, she felt too embarrassed to be around them for any longer. She swore she could hear them giggling.

She kept going, bouncing down the stairs not looking where she was going.

A body collided with hers, almost causing her to fall, but two strong hands held her waist steady. Her brown eyes locked onto blue, "Sorry Slytherin princess." he chuckled at her shocked face. He was a slender boy, with fair skin and adorn the Hufflepuff uniform.

"It's not your fault."

"I shouldn't have walked into royalty," he stepped away and bowed, a laugh slipped from her lips, "take care now Princess." he winked and walked away, leaving her in shock.

She tossed her head back, "fanculo la mia vita." Fuck my life.

I doubt many of you noticed this, but I included some of what Ezekial said in his letter, in Draco's poem.

Around this time, keep in mind that Harold was writing to Tom, in his journal.

Fave moment of this chapter?

Artemis is finally interacting with more students outside her house.

What could the rules be?

Which house would you like her to interact with more next season?

Almost finished this act
