Rain splashed against the windows of Hogwarts castle. Students mostly stayed indoors now, and Peeves was singing "HALLOOOOOWEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!! Perfect time for trouble!!! Then call Peevesy it'll be more than double!!!!!!"

 It was now Halloween Season. Skylar started to scare unsuspecting Slytherins again. She did it the same way as last year: hide out in the common room, sneak up behind the armchair and speak Parseltongue. For some reason, she wanted to scare Riddle more than ever. She did scare a few of his cornies but never got the chance to scare him. He was her main enemy and she was sure they would never ever be friends.

 The day before Halloween, she was sitting in the common room with Eileen and Mark, who they befriended back in September.

 "How was Quidditch practice today?" Eileen asked Mark.

 "Terrible," he grunted. "Malfoy thinks he's the Captain or something. He cannot even catch Muggle golf balls because he is so busy yelling at other players! Although, to be honest, he would make a good Keeper. I wish Spinter saw that! You could've been on the team!"

 "Yeah, but I'm pretty sure when- not if- Slytherin loses next match, Spinter's gonna let me in. I'm commentating and I am going to have so much fun," Skylar said with a smirk.

 "You're scary sometimes, you know?" Eileen said.

 "Yeah she does, anyway I'm done with homework, are you?" 

 "No, I'm not done..."

 "Well, I am and I'm going to bed," Eileen said, yawning.

 They both said goodbye and went. Skylar folded her parchment. She had finished her homework before them. She just wanted to scare a few more Slytherins before she got tired and went to sleep. She looked around. A figure was sleeping  in an armchair. A closer look showed her it was a boy with jet-black hair and pale skin.

 'Jackpot!' she thought.

 The person was none other than the handsome Tom Marvolo Riddle. The very person Skylar wanted to prank. Skylar looked around the common room again, making sure no one was watching. Everything seemed quiet. The common room was empty except for them.

 Skylar hid behind Riddle's armchair and readied herself.

 "Hello, there. Tom Marvolo Riddle~," she hissed.

 As Riddle got up, alarmed, Skylar snickered silently. It was a success. But what Skylar heard next made her shocked.

 "Who is it? Declare yourself! I am armed! " Riddle hissed, with his wand in his hand.

 Skylar got up, giving Riddle a death stare and readying her wand.

 "Tenebriser?! You speak it?! "

 "Yes, and you too..."

 They just stared at each other, wands raised. They were both surprised at this little discovery. They might be kin, but they were forever enemies. This was the thing they could not put past.

 "I see... where did you learn it? " Riddle put his wand back in his pocket, realizing his enemy won't attack him. But Skylar still had her wand out. She never discarded her wand whenever she was face to face with someone. She was always ready to duel.

 "It is called inheritance."

 "Mind if you leave me alone? I am going back to my dormitory. I don't want to waste more of my time with a worthless muck like you."

 He went to his dormitory, leaving Skylar alone in the common room. Skylar's mind was brainstorming. She considered telling this to someone but who could she believe? She never trusted anyone with personal matters. This was one of her top secrets.

 'No, there is no one I can trust. I will never tell a soul.' She thought. 'Is it possible, that he...'

 She shook her head. She did not want to believe it. She went to her dormitory. All was quiet. The girls were all asleep. So was Yumina. Skylar looked at her. 

 Mr Zackleman had said when she trusts Skylar enough, Yumina might show Skylar her human form and talk to her in human language, something she never did for Mr Zackleman. Yumina still had not done those things. She was still a random fluffy furball which came to Skylar to cheer her up after what happened to Elladora.
