Isabelle's POVRight now, we followed Harry to the common room."You're a Parselmouth. Why didn't you tell us?" Ron asked. ''I'm a what?" said Harry. "You can talk to snakes." said Hermione. "I know. I mean, I accidentally set a python on my cousin once. At least I think it was me, but so what. I bet lots of people here can do it." Harry said."No, they can't. It's not a very common gift, Harry. This is bad." I said. "What's bad? If I hadn't told that snake not to attack Justin." he said. "That's what you said to it?" Ron asked."You were all there. You all heard me." said Harry. "No, Harry. We all heard you speaking Paseltongue. Snake language." I said. "I spoke a different language? But I didn't recognize it. How can I speak a language without knowing I can?" Harry asked. "I don't know, Harry. But it sounded like you were egging the snake or something. Harry, listen to me. There's a reason the symbol of Slytherin house is a serpent." Hermione said. "Salazar Slytherin was a Parselmouth. He can talk to snakes too." I continued for Hermione. "Exactly, now everyone is going to think that you're his great-great-great grandson or something." Said Ron."But I'm not. I can't be." said Harry. "He lived a thousand years ago. For all we know. You could be." Hermione said. I sighed at that. Then it started to get an awkward silence, until Harry broke it. "By the way, wasn't Erika there earlier?" He asked.

I sighed again. "She was there got a minute, but then she suddenly disappeared."

"I'm really starting to get worried about her. Every morning when I saw her, she looked pale." Hermione said.

"Exactly." I said.

Harry sighed at that, because I'm starting to feel that Harry started to like my sister.

"But come on, Erika had been working hard on her studies." Hermione said.

"But Hermione, she doesn't study, well sometimes she does, but not this much." I stated.

"Well, maybe it's a new habit of hers." Hermione said.

I sighed again.

"Great! Now we have two Hermione's." Ron said, joking.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Hermione asked, glaring at Ron.

"Never mind, hehe." Ron chuckled nervously. Hermione can be scary sometimes. Just don't go on her bad side.

But...something is very fishy about Erika. I just know it.

Draco's POV

"Man! I didn't know Potter can speak Paseltongue." said Goyle. "Yeah, he should have been sorted in Slytherin, instead of Gryffindor." said Crabbe.
I sat there quietly. And when I was up there with Potter, I glanced at Belle. She wasn't paying attention to me. Only Potter.

Which makes me very mad, somehow.

"Draco, you alright?" Blaise asked me.
"Huh? Oh yeah, why?" I asked back.

"Well, you suddenly dazed off. And right now were talking about the Belle and Erika." Blaise replied.
"Why are we talking about them?" I asked, raising my brow at him.

"Seriously, Draco?! They're absolutely beautiful. The way they smile, the way they giggle. Oh boy, I just to hug them." Goyle said.

"Ha! Like Belle will go out with you, Goyle." Crabbe said.

Goyle glared at him.

"I'm sure Erika wouldn't even go out with you either." Goyle encountered back.

"Guys! Stop! Belle and I are best friends and she told me she doesn't like any one of you." Blaise said.

"What?!" They both exclaimed.

"I'm only saying once. She doesn't like you, Goyle. And Erika doesn't like Crabbe." Blaise replied.

"How do you know these, Blaise?" I asked.
"Well, ever since Belle and I got a little closer, she told me what she likes." He replied.

"Well, if Belle doesn't like me, who does she like?" Goyle asked.

"And Erika." Crabbe added.

"How should I know? Belle didn't tell me that part. I mean, come on. Every boy in Hogwarts are drooling all over for Belle and Erika." Blaise said.

"Like who?" I asked.
"Like, Wood, Diggory, Finnigan, Thomas and even Marcus....I think." Blaise replied.

Goyle and Crabbe groaned.

"We're no match at all."

I sighed and got up from the couch.
"I'm heading upstairs." I said.

And I did. I went into my dorms and laid on my bed. Then I glanced at the crystal flower that Belle dropped at the train last year.

Its so beautiful like her.

I picked it up and looked at it. It shines so beautifully.

But when Blaise started to mention about Belle...and the whole boys in Hogwarts going after her. Sometimes I think to myself. Will I be the one for her?

Nah. I know she'll hate me forever.
