"We're cousins!" I said quickly, and a bit louder than I wanted to. "No, we're cousins. Our dads were brothers. But Mira and I are good friends, too, just not anything like you and Fred." I said smiling.
----------------------------------
I chuckled a bit at the last sentence. "Yeah, I've heard those rumors." I said, and glanced behind me at the outburst from Alice. "I never thought they were true." I said with a wink. At least, I hoped they weren't true.

I chuckled. "Well, we're twins. Kinda hard to get closer than that." I said with a shrug. "Does she play Quidditch?"
--------------------
I grinned again. "Yeah, I only just heard about them today. Draco referred to her as my girlfriend and I was confused. I'm beginning to think he started the rumors." I said with a sigh. I wished he would give me a chance.

"Yeah, I couldn't image. I don't even have any siblings." I said. I wished I could tell him yes to his question, but Mira wasn't big on the sport. "No. She likes going to the games, but I don't think she'd ever play it. Pity, really. I'd love to have someone I know on the team."
---------------------------------------
I shrugged. "It wouldn't surprise me, really. Slytherins are nasty people." I said. I knew the rumors were probably all over the school and it would take a while for them to die down, especially with all the students who wanted to seem cool spreading them just because Slytherins were talking about it. "It'll go away, if you hang out with someone else. You doing anything this weekend?"

I thought about it. "Well, maybe we could invite some Huffies to play with us sometime or something. I'm friends with some of the team, I'm sure they would be happy to help you learn." I told her, hoping we would be playing a lot of Quidditch together.
----------------
I shrugged. "I was going to go to Hogsmeade with Alice but I'm beginnng to think she'll have other plans." I said, smiling at her when I caught her eye.

I thought about it for a minute, and then smiled. "Sure! It would have to be after I get a bit better. I wouldn't want to turn out to be terrible with the team there."
----------------------------------
I smiled, knowing George probably would have asked her to go with him by now. "Well, you're welcome to come to Hogsmeade with me. I lost my partner in crime, it seems, like you've lost yours."

I nodded. "Alright. We'll train you up and introduce you to the team. I'll even put in a good word with the captain. I helped him get a date with the girl of his dreams so he owes me one. Granted she broke his heart in the end but that's besides the point." I said with a grin.
--------------------
"Maybe we could all go together?" I offered. I wasn't sure I was ready to go on what seemed like a date with this guy and I was pretty sure Alice felt the same. Neither of us were prepared for one on one time.

I laughed, remembering him sitting in the common room with his friends trying to get over her. I just didn't know George had anything to do about it. "Why are you being so nice to me, helping me out with this? We just met..." I said, trying not to sound ungrateful. It was just something I wasn't used to.
-------------------------------------------------
I nodded. "Sounds good. I'll let George know whenever the two of them stop. And to think she was stammering when they first spoke." I said, holding my hand to my heart and giving a dramatic sigh. I laughed and turned back to them. "Should we interrupt?" I asked.

I shrugged and leaned back in my chair, crossing my arms over my chest. "I don't know. You facinate me. I want to know more about you. Which is why we're going to Hogsmeade together this weekend." I told her.
---------------
"Yeah, sure." I got up and walked over, hearing George's last comment. "yeah, and Fred and I are joining you." I said and winked at Alice.

I sat there just staring at him after he said that. I... fascinated him? I didn't know anyone thought anything about me, and now finding this out... I tried not to jump up and hug him, and succeeded if only because Fred and Mira walked over. I smiled at Mira. "Sounds fun!" George said, flashing a smile at his twin and Mira. "C...can't wait."

The next day we had double potions with Slytherin and we were being put into pairs. I was excited until we were told we had to pick a partner from the opposite house. I blushed a slight pink and glanced at Draco, catching his eye breifly. "Should I go sit with him before someone else does?" I asked Alice.

I made a face. "Eww, if you have to." I said, and stuck my tongue out. I don't think I would ever understand why she liked him. "I'll probably just sit here and wait for Snape to put me with someone." I said, and glanced at Draco to make sure he was still alone. I wished George had the class with me...

I gave her a sad smile, wishing there was a Slytherin that she had any interest in. I walked cautiously to Draco's table and chewed my lip. "Hey. Wanna partner up?" I asked him, trying to sound calm.
-----------------------
I looked around the room to find a partner and saw a blonde girl that usually did well in class sitting by herself. I got up and walked over to her, thinking she probably didn't know anyone either. "Mind if I join you?" I asked her, trying to sound polite.

I looked at Mira and sighed. I wanted to say no, but I knew Snape wasn't going to wait forever for us to pick partners and there were more annoying Hufflepuffs I could work with. "Sure, why not?" I said.
------------------------------------------
I looked up at the guy who came over. I didn't know him, but if he approached me maybe he wouldn't be so bad to work with. "Sure." I said, hoping I wouldn't be the one doing all the work.

I sighed. "You don't have to. Obviously I'm too embaressing for you to be within five feet of, right?" I asked, rolling my eyes and sat down.
------------------------
I gave her a small smile and sat down. "I'm Blaise Zabini." I introduced, holding my hand out.

I rolled my eyes as well when she sat down. "Well, you're here anyway..." I mumbled, and sighed. "It's only for a class, I think I'll live. Too bad you couldn't work with your girlfriend." I said with a laugh.
-----------------------------------------
"April Matthews." I said, taking his hand. It was weird he was being nice and not insulting me for being a Hufflepuff, like many Slytherins did.
