Serena frowned when Echo didn't seem to be eager to give away her desires and left straight for school grounds. "Don't frown, Serena." she whispered to herself. "It will give your wrinkles." Her face cleared up and a smile appeared. Nothing to worry about, she'd have plenty of chances later on to get her faction on her side. But then Abelia Nixus called Serena 'V', probably short for Vermont. Serena stopped walking and turned her face to Abelia, her smile so big that it was almost creepy. "Well, N..." she said with a certain sarcasm, "What I am complaining about is that for years Slytherin has been associated with the Dark Arts and that when something weird happens, no one even suspects the other houses. I wouldn't be surprised if you accidentally caused that blackout earlier on the train." While she spoke those words out loud, she realized she was probably wrong. That darkness felt evil somehow and despite her dislike towards Abelia, even Serena had to admit that the girl probably hadn't such evil in her. "Anyway, I see you later. Much later, I hope. Let's go Buck, " Serena had talked rather silently so only Abelia and Buck could hear her last remark. She didn't want to endanger her plan to improve her house's reputation. While she passed her crush Kjolmar -and completely ignored Felix while doing so- she couldn't help but notice him talking to a Ravenclaw girl. While fake-smiling from a distance, she whispered to her brother Buck: "Brother, find out who that girl is."
