Twenty-One

Second Year,
A Slytherin?

Phoebe had stayed over in the Hufflepuff dormitory, upon Laura's request she wanted her to be there so she could paint her face for the Quidditch game. Gryffindor verse Slytherin. It was Rhea's first game and both girls were eager to watch her play.

She transfigured her Ravenclaw scarf into a Gryffindor scarf to show her support for her sister. She did the same for Laura's scarf. She tried her best to paint a lion on Laura's cheek though it was proving too difficult when she kept giggling when the paintbrush tickled her.

"Stop, laughing I'm going to smudge,"

"Okay, okay," she took a deep breath, holding back her giggle as much as she could "do you think they'll win today,"

"I hope so, Rhea's been so excited about this game, it would be a shame if they lost,"

"Yeah, Ethan said, they have a strong team but they're just inexperienced,"

"Let's hope Rhea's temper comes out then," Phoebe said, causing a laugh from both girls.

"Oh Merlin, Slytherins wouldn't know what hit them,"

"No they wouldn't," Phoebe almost finished painting Laura's face when Laura asked another question.

"Have you spoken to Dumbledore since you know?"

"No and I don't want to, I still haven't told mum or Grammy,"

"Why not?"

"I told you, I don't want to tell mum over a letter-

"Alright, it's just you've never had a vision like that before, you actually spoke out loud He's coming, who is he anyway-

"For last time Laura I don't know," she snapped, Laura sat back, when she dropped her paintbrush.

"Alright, I'm just trying to help," she looked in the mirror at her face, "It looks good,"

"I don't mean to snap at you, I just don't want to talk about it,"

"Okay, we'll not talk about it again,"

"Thank you," Laura noticed the bags under her eyes, if she questioned her she knew that Phoebe would lie to her and tell her she was fine, and sleeping well. Even if it was clear that she wasn't she wouldn't dare tell her to talk to her, not now she wasn't in a talk state of mind.

"You're not as mean as you think you are," Hadrian said, wearing Slytherin robes, sitting in a dark room, different shades of black and green were the aesthetic of the room.

"Should I be?" a blonde girl questioned

"You act like you are because you're in Slytherin, I know you aren't," she chuckled

"I'll let you in on a little secret of mine, the less you reveal the less people can use against you," she winked at him, "Night Black,"

"Night Fawley," 

"Pheebs?" Laura questioned, she took a moment to study what she had seen

"I think Hadrian going to be in Slytherin,"

"What are you sure?"

"Yeah, he was wearing Slytherin robes," she said, Laura creased her brows never thinking for a moment that any of her cousins would be in Slytherin house.

"Statistically, two of us could be in each house, one of us is bound to be in Slytherin, I just never thought it would be Hades," Laura said, she was right the odds were that there would be two of them in each house, there was already two in Gryffindor.

"I'll be honest with you, I thought Carden might be, he's just like mum," she admitted

"You girls ready, we're going to be late," Cedric said, waiting in the doorway from them.

"Yes," they said together

Both girls linked arms with him as they made their way to the Quidditch stands, they excitedly cheered when they came out. They could see that Rhea seemed to be a little nervous, they were expecting her to be bold and go a little overboard.

They cheered as they scored another goal, giving them 40 points, though Slytherin was ahead with 60 points. Cheered Ethan on as he flew past them, Phoebe covered her eyes as a bludger was flying towards Rhea at an alarming speed.

She peeked through her fingers as she watched, the bludger went for her again, she saw the look on Rhea's face. 'She's pissed off' she took a bat from one of the Weasleys, hitting the bludger at the Slytherin beater, knocking him off his broom. Everyone cheered as she threw the bat back to him.

"SLYTHERIN'S SEEKER HAS CAUGHT THE SNITCH SLYTHERIN WINS"

The only people cheering were them in Slytherin house, she and Laura raced down to see how they were doing after their game. Laura hurried over to Ethan wrapping her arms around him, he smiled as she told him not to be so tough on himself for not catching the snitch first after all he wasn't used to playing seeker.

"You were great," Phoebe said hugging her sister, she pulled away, "ugh you stink," pinching her nose

"Well, obviously, I'm sweating,"

"Are you allowed to take a bat from the beaters?" she asked

"I'm not sure, but Madam Hooch never called a foul, so it must be okay,"

"I'm just glad you're okay, they play really rough those Slytherins,"

"Yeah, they haven't met my temper yet," she laughed with her

"Speaking of Slytherins I think Hadrian is going be in Slytherin, I saw him, in what I imagine is the Slytherin common room-

"Wait, you mean Hades, our little brother Hadrian, there's no way,"

"I saw it," Rhea eyed her,

"Well, I guess we'll find out next year won't we,"

"If he is, we don't treat him any different, right Rhea," Phoebe warned her, knowing her disdain for Slytherins, and their head of house.

"Hey, I might not like Slytherins, but I love our little brother,"
