Part One
You transferred to Hogwarts last year. After being sorted into Slytherin you secluded yourself for a while thinking the worst. You'd hear rumors about what the house was like. You knew that 'he who shall not be named' was from this house, you even knew some of their more hateful views. Before the sorting you had gotten friendly with a group of Gryffindors but after the hat had yelled out 'Slytherin' they drifted. Remembering the moment brought up questions.
~~
You stood waiting for the late term sorting behind all the first years. As the last of the first years were sorted you were called up. You sat on the stool and closed you eyes. As you took a deep breath they placed the hat on your head. You could hear its mumbling.
"What's this? Its... Familiar.....it has to be.....SLYTHERIN" Your eyes flung open at the word. Almost like it burned your eye lids. The group of people in green cheered but the three you had talked with all looked away as you were ushered over to the Slytherin table.
~~
You blinked away your thoughts. It's been so long and so much has happened you almost forgot. The hat was weird and you didn't like it. You sighed and returned your attention to Snape as he taught. As your mind almost drifted again a small note landed next to you. You picked it up and opened it.
'You don't look well. Are you ok?'
You'd recognize the handwriting anywhere. You turned to look at Draco. He tilted his head slightly and furrowed his brows. You gave a small smile and nodded.
"Y/N is my class not interesting enough for your attention?" Your head snapped back to the front and onto Snape's glare.
"No professor. I quite enjoy your class." His eyes narrowed.
"Good. Then you'll enjoy staying after for detention." He turned back to the board and you sighed.
"Great" you mumbled to yourself.
After class you sat in your seat waiting for what Snape would make you do for detention. You stood and pushed in the chair as he approached.
"You will reorganize all the ingredients into alphabetical order. You can't leave until its done. I'll be back in an hour to check your progress." With that he turned and left. You sighed and started organizing.
While working you heard a light knock and turned. Draco leaned against the wall.
"Figured since I'm the reason you got detention i should help a little." He smirked but didn't move.
"Ok well I'm starting with taking everything down and putting it in piles by letter. So you can help with that." After almost an hour all the bottles were organized into piles and proper order. All that was left is to put them back up.
"Snape should be here soon so you should probably leave. Don't want you to get in trouble too." You stood and dusted off your pants. After helping Draco up you stretched popping your back.
"Ok. Hope you don't get yelled at again. See you in the common room." After a short head nod he left. You chuckled and rolled your eyes. Not even five minutes later Snape walked in.
"I see you've made a mess." He crossed his arms.
"Not really. They're all organized I just have to put them back on the shelf. It shouldn't take me more then a half hour. Is that ok?" He sighed.
"Fine. But hurry up. I don't wish to deal with you longer then I have to." You nodded and got to work puting it all back. After twenty five minutes you were done.
"Good. Now leave. Its almost curfew. Don't make me give you more detention." You sped your way out. After you were far enough away you mumbled to yourself.
"Well if you hadn't made me do all that I wouldn't be out this late." As you got to the Slytherin commons you plopped down on a sofa.
"Took you long enough." You rolled your eyes at Blaize.
"Yah well if he wasn't so disorganized it wouldn't have taken me as long. Not to mention the cramped room. I had to organize all the stuff outside of it then go back and forth putting them back." He sat down next to you and tapped your leg.
"Aw want me to give you a foot massage for all your work?" He made a move with his fingers.
"I'm not letting you anywhere near my feet Blaize. I don't trust you that much. You'd probably try to tickle me." You shoved his shoulder and he shrugged.
"What can I say. It's fun to mess with people. Not to mention you bite back so it's more fun." The two of you laughed and talked for a while. You stopped when the prefect made everyone go to their rooms. Your rooms were close so you talked on the way there. After reaching your dorm he waved goodnight and left. You went in and fell onto your bed.
"God I hate detention"
