You were the Slytherin princess, the oldest daughter of Tom Riddle and Bellatrix Lestrange. Your parents were obsessed with you, your younger brother Romeo, though he didn't interfere much with your life was still a very protective brother despite being the youngest of the family. Thus, being at Hogwarts was your rehab. You could do whatever you want, hang out in the common room with your friends till late hours, go out to Diagon Alley, host parties in the Slytherin dungeons.

All that was about to change. Romeo was starting Hogwarts. You didn't really tell much about him to your friends, you didn't want to be teased with the protective brother stuff, especially when the brother in question was very much like your parents- protective and obsessive.

You, Draco, Pansy, Blaise and Theo were sat at the Slytherin table. The 1st year students were to arrive and be sorted. You sat there a little tense.

Pansy:- She nudged you "Your brother is joining today right?"

Draco:- Turns his attention to you both "Oh yeah, you're gonna have big sis duties" He smirks slyly

Blaise:- laughs "Ah poor Theo, your days of flirting with her are over, he'll report everything to their father and you'll be tortured."

Theo:- Blushes slightly playfully strangling Blaise. You and Theo had a crush on each other, well it had been more than that, you two had made out on multiple occasions though you never put a label on it because afterall these were the years to have 'fun' without any serious commitments.

You smile a little. The first year students come, looking around fascinated, they walk in a line towards the sorting hat. In the crowd, you spot Romeo, the usual aloof face, but his eyes scan the Slytherin table for you. When he sees you his eyes linger for a moment longer before looking over at your friends. His eyes narrow in disapproval especially with the way you were sitting next to a boy (Theo) and there was only one girl in your friend group. Just like your parents, he hated you having opposite gender friends.

As expected, he was sorted into Slytherin. He made his way over to you and without looking at your friends, he scooted himself between you and Theo to keep some gap.

Theo:- "Aren't you happy to see me?" He said with the same aloof tone.

Draco and Blaise shared a sneer sly smirk aiming it at Theo. Theo just raised his eyebrows at them and shrugged. Pansy giggled reaching out to touch Romeo. But just as strict Romeo was about you not being around opposite gendered ppl, he stuck to the same thing himself. He leaned back to avoid Pansy's touch looking at her hand with a disgust.
