Not long after, there was an announcement for the Slytherins to gather by the foyer and on the stairs were the elders and some of the most notable Pureblood Slytherins. They talked about what Draco has told Serena before they fought, plans about redemption and wanting to have a new reputation. The crowd cheered and smiles were on everyone's faces, even Serena's. It was nice to see everyone wanting to get rid of the reputation of Slytherins being the home of only bad witches and wizards.

The crowd dispersed and the party went on even livelier than before. Serena couldn't help but look around, it was his house but Draco was nowhere to be found. 

"Pansy, I need to go again, I'll be right back," Serena told her friend

"Do you want me to come with?"

"No, I'm alright. I already know where it is"

When Serena was out of earshot Pansy turned to Blaise, "Well?"

"Before the meeting started he was still in his room. His mother is not happy with how immature he's been acting especially since they're the host. She went inside his room while we were there and she asked us what's wrong with him but we didn't say" Blaise explained.

"You think he's still there?" Pansy asked

"I don't know, Theo went to check" replied Blaise and then he saw his friend walking over to their table, "Oh there you are"

"He's not there anymore," said Theo

"Well at least he went out of his cave already or else all our efforts in making Serena look hot will all be for naught," said Pansy

Meanwhile, when Serena went out of the loo she bumped into the person she never thought would come face to face to this evening.

They just looked at each other for Merlin knows how long until one of them finally spoke. 

"Good evening" she greeted.

"Good evening, Astoria" Serena greeted back with the same cool tone

Astoria said nothing more and walked passed Serena, but after a few steps, she called after her. "Can we talk outside?" Serena asked and Astoria nodded.

When they were in the gardens they didn't look at each other but straight ahead. 

"What do you want to talk about?" Astoria asked when Serena didn't say anything.

Still, without looking at her Serena said, "You look very pretty tonight"

"Thanks" was all Astoria replied, not even a compliment back and Serena wasn't sure if she expected one from her. She had to admit that her compliment was genuine. Her hair looked like chocolate swirls, she was in a silver dress with a sweetheart neckline that hugged her body even tighter than her dress and wondered if she could even breathe through that.

"Is that why you called me here? To compliment me? that seems odd" Astoria crossed her arms, facing Serena.

"No, I asked you here because you kissed my boyfriend, Astoria" Serena faced her too, her voice was still calm and controlled

Astoria's eyes widened and Serena saw a spark in her eye. She knew Astoria was a nice girl but she knew how competitive she was. And this, for her was a big and important competition. After all, it is Draco on the line.

"And you're sure it's not him who kissed me?" Astoria challenged, and when Serena just smiled she added, "Is he even still your boyfriend?"

"What are you trying to do Astoria?" Serena asked.

"Nothing,  I'm simply asking. You and Draco haven't been seen together since our shared kiss. We spent three days together might not be just a kiss we shared" Astoria shrugged.
