Finally, all where sitting comfortably and dumbledore had just delivered his grand, yet nonsense, speech. They all laughed and applauded as magnificent silver plates appeared in front of them. The wonderful scent of every food imaginable wafted through the air And into the children's nostrils. They hungrily dug in and soon there where children digging in to mountains of chicken, puddings, and even chips. Aziraphale, who was of a rounder figure and enjoyed food much more than most, dug into an exceptionally large portion of as many exotic foods as he could; Crowley, on e other hand, hardly ate anything, why you ask? Because he knew if he ate, his serpent like tongue would be revealed and he didn't need another thing for people to make fun of him about. He let out a quiet sigh that involuntary turned to a hiss as he gazed at aziraphale in a haze.

"Excuse me," another boy said "Excuse me!" He said slightly louder this time. "Huh, what?" Crowley said snapping out of it. "Can I sit here?" He asked. Crowley knew how this would go, "sure, why not." He said. He hadn't yet looked over to him, and he was clearly oblivious to the fact that he was snake boy. "Soo..." He said awkwardly. "My name is Henry!" He said cheerfully, he didn't seem to fit in with the other slytherins. "Crowley." THE red head hissed back without even looking. Henry let out a gasp. "Your-Y-" he bagan before being cut off by an annoyed Crowley saying "Yes, yes I know snake boy, are you here to make fun of me too? Like the othersss?" He hissed angrily. "Um, no actually." He began shyly " I was going to say, that's pretty cool, yo know, being half snake and all," he said. Crowley froze "what?" He said looking up, his serpentine yellow eyes glimmering through the glasses. "Oh, well, I'm sorry. Yeah oh can sit here." He said happily.

They talked and laughed, Crowley had made another friend (not as good a friend as aziraphale of course). "Why aren't you eating?" He questioned through a mouthful of jelly. "Oh well um," he spluttered. He cupped his mouth and poked his forked tongue out. It tickled the air just as a snakes would before retreating into his mouth. "I don't want them to have another thing to harass me about." He said sadly. "Well you can't not eat forever!" He said "here," he handed him a napkin "gather as much food as you can and take it back, I will too!" He said. They stuffed their pockets and laughed and bantered for the rest of the meal.

Meanwhile, aziraphale, has also made a friend. A tall girl named 'anathema'. She wore glasses a good one size to big for her and had long, dark hair. She sat next to aziraphale and attempted to talk about magic and spells to befriend him. This failed miserably, but also kind of worked because they where soon talking for the rest of the meal. "So," Anathema said "do you know anyone here?". "Well, I met this really lovely boy named Crowley-" he said before Being interjected bye "Snake boy?!" "Yes,well he does prefer to go by Crowley. trust me, he is very kind and I'm sure you would like him if you just gave him chance!" Aziraphale said, defensively "o-ok, I will." She stuttered. "Good." Said aziraphale satisfied. "And what about you?" He continued "oh well, I only know a boy in hufflepuff named 'newt' I sat next to him on the bus, he is really nice!" She said warmly. The continued to dine and converse as it eventually led to agreeing to meet in the slytherin common room later on that evening, as aziraphale was already meeting Crowley in there. He told her to bring newt along but after she described him as a bit of a wimp, they decided it was better not to tell him 'snake boy' was there.

Later that day, that had moved their stuff into the common rooms and had looked around. It took them about half an hour to find the slytherin common room but finally they all made it there. Crowley, to aziraphale's surprise, was already talking to someone- Henry. Thy turned to see newt, anathema, and aziraphale standing in the doorway. "You must be aziraphale!" Said Henry kindly. He got up and greeted him. "I'm Henry, Crowley has told me about you!" He said. "Wonderful to meet you Henry." Said aziraphale, happy Crowley had a friend in his own house. Crowley got up and greeted aziraphale. "And you are?" He said puzzled to the girl with long hair "anathema, anathema device!" She said with smile. She held out a hand and Crowley recoiled and looked at aziraphale for help. "It's fine dear, she is ok with who you are." He said. Crowley looked back to a smiling anathema wih her hand still out and he shook it happily. "And this is newt!" She said gesturing at newt, who appeared to be frozen in shock. "Y-y- you the s-snake boy!" He cried. Anathema rolled her eyes as Crowley muttered "here we go again." As he backed into the corner in fright. Crowley moaned and aziraphale walked over to newt and began to calm him. "It's ok! He is just like the rest of us. He is actually very nice," Crowley rolled his eyes at this "if you would just give him a chance." Pleaded aziraphale. He looked unsure before mustering up all his courage and saying hi to Crowley.

Later, they where all hyper on sugar and Crowley had discarded his glasses as a dare earning a gasp. "Oh, don't gawp, that's nothing compared to this." He said as he transformed into a large snake and slithered up to aziraphale. "You guys are luckey," he said as he transformed back, "I probably won't ever show you guys that again." He said sadly. "Aww that was so cool though, why not?" Henry moaned "because I hate it and it reminds me of why I hate myself," Said Crowley wondering why he changed in the first place.

After lots of laughter, they noticed how late it was, and it wasn't a good idea to be late on their first day- so they headed back to their individual dorms. But, as soon as they stepped out. A menacing figure slipped into view. "What are you children doing at this time." They gulped and explained to the black haired teacher with a long robe that looked ancient as a mummy. "Right," She said "And do you know who I am?" She asked coldly. Anathema, newt and aziraphale shook their heads, scared. "I am the potions master beelzebub, I shall have to call hastar the caretaker to come and show you to our dorms. If I catch you lot out late again their will be consequences! Understand." She snapped. They gulped and nodded as a dirty man skidded around the corner. "Hastar, show these first ears to their dorms." She commanded. "Yes mam." He said as he scuttled them away and angrily led them to their rooms.
