I turned and left the common room and head towards my dorm room. I knew Adom was following after me. I entered my dorm and let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. I hear the door close, and I turn to see Adom.

"That was very good." he said

Imhotep is correct. That was very impressive. -Tom

"What are you going to do about the others that you were getting close to?" he asked

"Nothing. As far as they are concerned that was their warning. I also won't be talking to them till they can prove themselves. The only one with a free pass will be Theo as he was the only one that looked bad about not telling me." I said

"Were they even allowed to tell you?" he asked

There is nothing that says they couldn't. -Tom

"Tom says that if they wanted to they could've." I said

He nods his head.

"I think I should head to my dorm." he said

I nod my head and move over to my trunk. I hear him walking towards me so I turn around to look at him. He leans down and kisses my forehead.

"You did good. I truly am proud of you." he said

"Thank you, Imhotep." I said

He smiles down at before turning and leaving the room. I once again let out a breath before turning and going to change into my nightclothes. When I walk back out of the bathroom, I put my dirty clothes to the side and climbed into bed, before putting up some of the Egyptians wards Imhotep had taught me.

...

The next week went by and most of the Slytherins avoided Adom and I at all cost. Draco, Theo, Blaise, Pansy, and Daphne tried to talk to me but I ignored them. By Wednesday they had given up. I noticed though that some of the teachers noticed that we were no longer talking anymore. The following Sunday Adom and I were sitting in the library when Theo walked up to us. He pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Before you say anything hear me out." Theo said

Adom and I looked at each other.

"You have five minutes." I said

"Thank you. I know that you know that I could have told what the upper years were planning to do. The reason I didn't tell you was that I was scared. My father and grandfather were followers of the Dark Lord. My father is in Azkaban he is a convicted Death Eater. So the others can't really talk to me. They do in the common room or when no is watching but if I had told you and they found out that I went against them they would have made my life horrible. On the plus side, I knew you would win." Theo said

I looked at Adom and nodded my head.

"Would you like to sit with us at lunch?" Adom asked

Theo smiled at us.

"Yes, I would. You don't care that my father is a Death Eater?" Theo asked

"Theo, I've told you about my family and yet you are still sitting here asking to be my friend." I said
