Martha smiled at Erin as Fluffy ate the mouse-treat happily. When it had finished the snake wrapped itself around Martha's wrist. Snakes liked her a lot. Martha wanted to ask how Fluffy had possibly managed to get out of the dormitories. Maybe someone had accidentally left the door ajar? Probably herself, she thought sheepishly, knowing what she was like.
Martha vowed she would ask Fluffy later, when she alone. Though Martha tried to disguise it she was worried her friends might bolt for the door if she started talking to her snake. She knew it was stupid but she couldn't help feeling that way. That was one of the reasons why she got on so well with Erin. She knew exactly what her friend was going through.
With a impish grin, Martha brought out her divination homework. She was starting to realise Erin had had the right idea about doing it early. Especially if they were going to go to a party later.
'Hmm...' Martha thought five minuets later as she studied her tea leaves. 'I think that means I'm going to die soon. Yep, I'm pretty sure.' She gave a wide smile and wrote down nonsense in her book, each predicament more sillier than the last. Divination was fun. She was going to bring a magic eight ball to class and see what Professor Trelawney said about that!

Erin looked over her comics at Martha who had started her divination homework.
"Oh you weren't in the lesson were you," She said, "Yea well Trewlaney's gone, she said. We have a new teacher now, Proffesor Nadya, she actually knows what she's talking about, though i think she's a tad obssessed with the tarot cards myself." Erin said, shaking her head, divination, a pointless art.

'Oh really?' Martha said, glancing up. 'Aww, that's a shame. Trewlaney was fun to wind up.'
She shrugged and closed her divination book with a snap, deciding she had made up enough ridiculous ideas for the time being. Martha hoped it wasn't going to rain tomorrow for she fancied going for a practice on her broom. She was a beater now, and the position sounded fun. She wondered who Slytherin's first match was going to be against.

'Yea anyway this new teacher is better, though i don't know if you could wind her up like trelawney...' Erin said thoughtfully, proffesor Nadya was nice, at least she had tried to help earlier in History of Magic.
She turned back to her comic book, in which Mungo the muggle tried to shove a newspaper into the toaster, thinking it was a rubbish bin. Hah, that darn muggle she laughed to herself.
"Come to think of it, quite a lot of the old teachers have been replaced, and whats with Flitwick? he's gone totally barmy." She added with bewilderment, the tiny proffesor had took an extended leave of absence. Must be old age she thought, turning back to her book.

Martha nodded her head in understanding. At least that meant they has a proper teacher now, even if she couldn't wind her up. Unlike Erin, Martha rather liked Divination, if done properly. It was a fun lesson and it was easy to get an O.
'Poor Flitwick,' Martha said affectionately, 'he was a good teacher.' She shrugged her shoulders and grinned. 'But the new teachers are great, aren't they?'
Then Martha sighed glumly as she thought of one that certainly wasn't. One that she had a detention with later. 'I miss Lupin,' she said in a small voice and her snake twisted around her wrist in a comforting manner.

Kain and Draco were admist talking, when Fluffy came in. Kain had always been alittle afraid of him, to be honest. Kain was never much a fan of snakes, despite being in Slytherin. It was a real shocker that he wasn't in Ravenclaw, he had been told by Draco. The only thing keeping Kain in Slytherin was the fact that he was a Vampire. "I heard we have a hot new Ancient Runes teacher." Kain added, budding in on Martha and Erin's conversation. "Miss Antionette. I saw Professor Demetrius with her earlier. He's completely smutten." Kain chuckled.

"I no, i didn't care about him being a were-wolf, dad did though, the hypocrite!" She said with distaste, he had then forbidden her from explaining the existance of were-wolves to her mother, in her mum's eyes thats what she saw Erin as. No need to tell her that they were really much more terrifying when they transformed.
"Oh well, at least she won't last a year, always an upside. I hope the giant squid gets her." Erin added maliciously, wow this really wasn't like her, but then Umbridge was a special case...
She rolled her eyes when Kain started to talk about Antoinette, it was just so typical of boys.

Martha nodded in agreement to Erin.
'Yeah, I saw them before,' Martha chuckled, replying to Kain. 'They're such a sweet couple. I do hope they get together.'
Martha smiled. She was a hopeless romantic when it came down to it, though she tried to hide it. Martha laughed when Erin said that about the giant squid, unaware of her malicious tone. 'It saved me in my first year,' she remembered. 'I fell out the boat! Typical of me really.' She smiled. 'Do you think the squid gets lonely?'
Martha turned to Kain in puzzlement as she saw him shrink away slightly from Fluffy. She flashed him a grin. 'Not a big fan of snakes, Kain?' she asked. She honestly wondered why Kain was in Slytherin. He was even starting to warm up to Harry Potter!

Erin leaned down and tickled fluffy under his chin, "Aww he's a big softie really," She laughed as the snake wagged it's tail and flicked out it's tongue like a dog.
"No the squid can't get lonely, there are Mer-folk and Grindylows in the lake with it remember, and the odd first year," she joked.
"As for Demetrius and Antoinette, i would like to send them a christmas card together it's a bit long," she laughed, "But yea, they do make a cute couple."

Kain's eyes widened alittle as Fluffy slithered around. Fluffy's tail was alittle bit close to Kain's leg, so Kain did the only thing he thought of. He jumped onto the couch, and stood there, watching the snake with timid eyes. He had seen Fluffy before, sure. But, he always strayed away from him. But, he was right here, practically next to Kain. He wavered alittle, for his balance wasn't good on the cushions. "Hah, I wasn't here for that occurance." Kain grumbled, still standing impatiently on the couch. He transfered in his fourth year. During the Triwizard Tournament. "You miss all the good embarrassing stuff when you transfer later." He confessed, and laughed nerviously. (Because he swore that Fluffy was watching him. Hungrily.)
"Of course they make a cute couple." Kain spoke, and watched Fluffly with his dead eyes. "So, are either of you thinking about the Winter Ball, hm?" He asked, and looked up quickly, to make eye contact with the two girls. He already knew that Draco was going with Andie, but he had no idea who these two would go with. "I'm going to ask Penelope." He added, making sure he wasn't just asking them, but instead gave something in return.

'Yeah, I'm going to the ball,' Martha replied, smiling at Kain. She was glad he was asking out Penelope. She knew she would be happy about that.
Martha was watching Kain hovering on the cushions, trying desperately to remain "cool".
'I don't like him either,' Fluffy told Martha, fixing its yellow eyes on Kain. Probably to freak him out.
'Why's that?' Martha asked in Parseltongue, forgetting that she wasn't going to talk the language of snakes in front of other people. 'He's very nice.'
The snake poked out its sharp, pink tongue. 'He won't come near me,' Fluffy huffed, 'it does nothing for my pride.'
Martha laughed. 'Why don't you go and say hi to him then?' she asked, placing Fluffy on the ground. 'Show him that he has nothing to be afraid of.'
Martha looked up and felt a blush tinge her cheeks as she realised everyone was watching her with interest or puzzlement. She shrugged and grinned before Fluffy started slithering towards Kain.

'Oh Kain your not scared of the little snake are you?' Erin laughed as the boy leapt onto the cushions. Poor fluffy always misunderstood... She watched as martha spoke parseltongue and put fluffy down on the ground.
'yea I'm going to the ball, should be a fun night, we can probably jinx umbridge or something so that whenever she speaks it sounds like a fart.' she added thoughtfully.
'oh I think you and Pen would make a great couple though.' she said, it may have been her imagination but it looked like Kain blushed slightly.
'no-ones asked me yet but I don't mind really, don't have to have a date to have a good time,' she said almost indifferently. But it would still be nice, she added silently, though she would never admit it.

"I'm not scared. I'm simply uneasy about snakes, that's all." He frowned and moved his weight slightly on the couch. "And that's a great idea, Erin. Imagine her in class, trying to talk?" He chuckled, and then blushed really quickly when Erin and Martha said Penelope and he would make a good couple. "Well, good for you Erin." He spoke and watched Fluffy warily. "I'm sure someone will ask you, but remember, it's a long ways away. So, you have nothing to worry about. Martha, who are you going with?" He reasurred her, and kept standing safely on the couch. Suddenly Fluffy started slithering towards him, and he freaked out. He jumped off the couch on the other side, and backed away, but Fluffy was to quick for him. And, it was obvious. Before Kain could could to 3, Fluffy was sliding his body around Kain's arm, and Kain was flinching. "What did you tell him to do, Martha?! EAT ME?!" He yelled in her direction, and froze, since the snake's head was right next to his own.

'No one at the moment,' Martha replied when Kain asked her who she was going to the ball with. She grinned a wicked grin. 'I'm sure a date would just slow my pranking down. Although it would be nice to go with someone.'
As Kain was speaking to Erin, Fluffy was making its way towards him, wanting to make friends.
'I didn't tell him to eat you!' Martha laughed at Kain's accusation. 'That would be horribly gross!'

Kain was seriously starting to get uneasy. After all, the snake was actually touching him! He looked at Fluffy's face with his grey eyes, and made not a sound, except for a stiffled whimper (that he tried to block, by biting his lip.) when Fluffy's face came closer to Kain's, and he backed his head away. "Martha, seriously. What did you tell this snake?" He glared at her, and turned his attention swiftly back to Fluffy.
