A/n: Hey guys! How would you feel about me writing a prompt list to create more ideas for chapters? I have a board on Pinterest absolutely filled with them, but I think I'd use them more if I actually write them down and allowed you guys to pick ones you like too. Just and idea.

Keith's POV? 
                          
"I'm telling you, she's bad news because she's a Slytherin," Allura said to Keith, who was talking about you. 
                          
It had been the same for weeks now, ever since Keith had told them about you. There was an unwritten rule saying that Gryffindors and Slytherins were supposed to hate each other, but that just wasn't the case between you and Keith. You were sweet and kind and caring—things that a Slytherins weren't "supposed" to be. Or at least, that's what Gryffindors thought, just like his friends at the moment. 
                          
"And I'm telling you, she isn't like the rest of them," Keith insisted. "She's sweet and caring." 
                          
"And the most powerful witch in our year," Hunk added. "Which is usually associated with-" 
                          
"Slytherins. Yes, I got it." Keith clenched his fists in frustration, but unclenched then as he took a deep breath. "I know we are supposed to hate each other, but that just isn't the case." 
                          
"Well, she isn't welcome here," Allura said. 
                          
That was it for Keith. He gripped his wand in fury, knuckles turning white, but the shocked look on his friends faces brought him back. He couldn't hurt his friends, so he ran out of the Common Room instead.

A few minutes later he found himself in the courtyard. All of this just because of the stupid rivalry between Slytherin and Gryffindor. Sure, there were many of them that he hated, but he had a reason to, not just because they were in the house that they were in. Getting to know you allowed him to see that all Slytherins weren't cruel, cold and heartless. 
                          
Someone placed a hand on his shoulder. He didn't have to look up to know it was Shiro. "What do you want?" He asked Shiro. He couldn't help but be a bit happy to have him in his presence, despite the argument he just had. Shiro was like a brother to him, always there for him and always knowing what to say. 
                          
"I just wanted to see if you were okay," Shiro said. 
                          
"Well, I am," Keith said. "No need to worry." 
                          
"Keith," Shiro said deeply, showing he was aware of Keith's true thoughts. "I know you, and I know that you're mad." 
                          
Keith sighed. "I just really love her." Unlike the rest of his friends, Shiro smiled at Keith's love for you. He didn't care what house you were in, because you made Keith happy. 
                          
"Then you need to let them see the side of her you can see," Shiro suggested. 
                          
"Thanks, Shiro," Keith said, immediately feeling better at his older friend's words. He looked over to Shiro to see him with a look on his face that read, 'I mean now.' 
                          
Keith got up and headed to the Slytherin Common Room, knowing that you were most likely there at the moment.

He arrived a few minutes later. Anyone else would have called him crazy, but Keith didn't give a damn. So, he knocked on the Slytherin Common Room door. When no one answered he started to bang his fist furiously against the door. 
                          
A moment later it opened with a snap, and an annoyed looking Slytherin stood behind it. "What's the deal?" He asked. He looked down at Keith's robes and sneered. "Gryffindor."
