I sit in the library as I read a book regarding parselmagic.

Suddenly, someone sits down across from me as I pause before glancing up, seeing light grey eyes look back at mine.

"Can I sit here?" He asks as I roll my eyes with a grin.

"Well you're already sitting there, are you not?" I respond as he chuckles and opens the book infront of him before glancing at the cover of mine.

"Parselmagic?" He asks with sudden interest as I nod.

"Hm.. seems interesting, wish I could speak to snakes." He says as nyx hisses at him happily, slithering over to him.

"Seems a lot of people agree with that..." I murmur as I think back to my second year. Even as everyone suspected me and Harry as the heir of slytherin, people would still talk about how cool it would be to speak with snakes

*They were just jealous!* Nyx snaps as I roll my eyes but let a grin form on my lips.

"What happened to the chamber anyway?" Cedric asks as I hesitate, should I tell him?

"Not sure, I haven't gone down there other than one time when Harry had brought me, after the... incident, of course." I lie swiftly as Cedric nods, seeming to believe me.

He seems nice enough, maybe one day I'll tell him...

"Fair enough." He shrugs as i nod, nyx hissing at me with a pouty face— well, the best pouty face a snake can make.
