Not as bad as expected

Waking up in the morning?Yeah that's a problem.But hey,magic is worth everything!

First,in Transfiguration I was sitting with Draco in the first desk in the middle row,writing about the basic stuff.I'm surprised that I don't see Harry and Ron..?

Maybe they got lost.I might have been lost too,if Jessie and Emma wouldn't have been there...

I love that Professor McGonagall is an animagus,and that cat suits her perfectly.I wonder what my animagus would be...I must ask her about this!

After some time,Ron and Harry ran inside the classroom,panting,being happy that McGonagall wasn't there.Silly boys...

The "cat" jumped in front of them,transforming in the said professor,and they were left mesmerized.

Ron:That was bloody brilliant!

McGonagall:Why thank you for that assessment,Mr.Weasley.Perhaps it would be more useful if I were to transfigure Mr.Potter and yourself into a pocketwatch?That way maybe one of you would be on time.

Harry:We got lost...

McGonagall:Then perhaps a map?I trust you don't need on to find your seats!

I put my hand over my mouth so my giggles wouldn't be heard,while Draco nudged me with his elbow and smirked.McGonagall shot me a knowing,yet amused look,and I couldn't help but grin at her.


Draco:Come now.We have potions and we most definitely don't want to be late.

me:Um....professor Snape....am I right...?

Draco:Yes indeed.He is the best professor at Hogwarts and of course,Head of the Slytherin house!

me:Oh...joy...Is he...scary?Does he shout or...I don't know...taunt?

Draco:Yes,but it's mostly Gryffindors he attacks.Slytherins are usually under his wing,of course.Just do your job as best as you can,and listen to him.You don't want an angry Snape on your tail,now,do you?

me:*bites my lip**whispers*Definitely not....he looks quite scary....I don't want problems with him...

When we arrived,there the front row was occupied,and there was only 1 more seat,for Draco,so I went in the last row,with Hermione,Ron and Harry.

We started chatting a bit,when all of a sudden the door was kicked open and Snape bursted in the class.He started reading the names of the students,and when he came to me and Harry he stopped and said "Ah yes,our new celebrities" making me shrink in my seat with fear.

Snape:You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potionmaking.As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses.... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death - if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach.

I was both intrigued and eager for the lesson to start,but also afraid as hell and worried.What if I suck?Will he shout at me?Will I start shaking like usually?Surely hope not...

Snape:*snapping*Potter!What would I get if added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?

Harry:I don't know,sir.

Snape:Tsk tsk.Fame clearly isn't everything.Let's try again,Potter.Where would I look if I told you to find me a bezoar?

Harry:I don't know,sir.

Snape:Thought you woulnd't open a book before coming,eh,Potter?.....What is the differerence,Potter,between Monskhood and Wolfsbane?

Harry:I don't know...I think Hermione does though,why don't you try her?

Snape:*snapping at Hermione*Sit down!.Black!Can you answer the questions and clarify Potter's unknownledge?me:*nods*W-ell...s-sir....asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion very powerful,known as the Draught of Living Death. A bezoar is a stone taken from a goat's stomach and it will save you from most poisons. Monkshood and wolfsbane are the same plant,also named aconite.

Snape:*nods*Very well.10 points to Slytherin.At least one of you uses the brain in her head.And one point will be taken from Gryffindor House for your cheek,Potter.

We started brewing a simple potion for curing boils.I was put in a group with Hermione.Fortunately,Snape seemed to hate everyone,but was praising Draco and me.All of a sudden,I hear a pain scream and I look behind me.Neville and Seamus' couldron melted,and their potion was sent on the ground,having "life" and making holes in kids' shoes.Afraid we,sat on our stools.

Me:Evanesco!

I said,as the potion it vanished,making me sigh in relief.

Hermione:Great saving...

me:I seriously didn't need holes in my shoes...

Snape was angry at them,for not going by the instructions,then started blaming Harry for not warning them.That's pretty much cruelty...

Snape:If miss Black weren't there with her quick wits,your shoes wouldn't exist anymore.10 points to Slytherin.

I shrinked even lower in my seat,as I saw some Slytherins smirking proudly at me.What am I doing with my life...

At lunch,I sat with Hermione,Ron and Harry,not wanting to see the Slytherins.

me:Sorry...for earlier...

Hermione:What do you mean?

me:Potions...

Hermione:There is no need to be sorry,if you are intelligent!It must be shown and improved!

Harry:She's right.Don't worry,I'm just glad at least you won't be tormented by him.

me:Hopefully...

Ron:There are VERY few "chosen" ones who can be seen by Snape as a potential success.

me:*puts head on the table*Please no...Let's forget we ever had potions,okay?

Harry+Ron:Deal.


Next,we went to have Flying lessons,with Madam Hooch.Awesome hair and eyes might I say...tomboy-ish attitude...I like her style.

We stood next to the brooms.Putting my hand above the broom and saying a timid "up" so my voice won't stand out from the others,I see the broom raising in my hold.Shocked,I stare at the broom,and then I see that Draco and Harry managed to get it with their 1st try too!Impressive...

We mounted the broom,and as Madam Hooch blew her whistle,Neville started flying,losing control,his broom going in all sorts of directions....then he fell and broke his wrist...ouch...

Madam Hooch told us not to go flying around,or else we'll be expelled,but Draco stole Neville's remembrall wanting to throw it away,so he won't ever find it.

Harry:Give that here,Malfoy!

Draco:I think I will leave it somewhere where Longbottom won't find....maybe a tree?

Harry:Give it here!

me:Draco...please don't make a show out of this...

He smirked at me charmingly,then flew off in a flamboyant manner,motioning for Harry to come after him.

Hermione trying to stop him,but he wouldn't aknowledge her.He looked at me with a knowing look,then,fearfully,I follow him on the stupid broom.So much for going unnoticed.

We were up,standing in front of him,when he threw it away.I and Harry looked at each other and I shot off after it.It was a scary dive,especially since the ball got so close to the ground,I could almost feel my feet touching the grass,but I caught the ball and raised the tip of the broom quickly,as I threw it to Harry as fast and powerful as I could.Unfortunately,Draco caught it easily,and yelled for Crabbe and Goyle to get it,as he threw the ball to them.Harry managed to catch the ball midway,did a "180" with his broom,then we safely made it back to the ground,with kids cheering for us...Please,someone kill me.

After that,I heard mine and Harry's name being screamed by 2 different persons,a male and a female.Guessed already?Snape and McGonagall.

me:*whispering to Harry*It was nice knowing you,pal.

Harry was taken by McGonagall in another direction,as I was taked to another floor by Snape.

Snape:You foolish girl!Never in my entire life have I seen such recklessness from a student,nontheless,a first year!Where was your mind?!You could have been seriously injured,beyond mending,or even died!

me:*shaking*I-I'm s-s-so sorry....I-I didn't....think...of wh-what might have...h-happened...

Snape:Of course you did NOT!In most cases I'd have sent you off in the next second!I will not tolerate such an act of disobeying to be left without consequences!

me:*bites lip hard**nods*

He enters roughly in the Charms class and asks for Flint.

Ermh....I hope he says Flint as in Marcus Flint,not the actual object.

My fears were 10% gone,since it was the actual person.But what actually shocked both me and Marcus is when we saw Snape smirk and say "Flint,I have found you a seeker"

We both went "WHAT?!",staring at Snape as if he was insane.

Snape:Do NOT question my decision.

I remained stunned,as Flint started examining me.

Flint:Very light,partially tall for her age,won't be a burden for the broom,so it will be faster...You also say she caught the ball in that manner...Okay,then it's settled!Welcome in the team,Black!Now,don't think that since you're a first year,I will go easy on you,but on the contrary!You must demolish the other seeker!

me:Y-yes sir!I will do my best!

Flint:*smirks at Snape*Now that's some Slytherin Pride I see!*pats my head* every afternoon,after classes,see you at the pitch,clear?I will make sure to be there and teach you all there is about Quidditch.

Snape:Don't forget to kick out mr.Higgs,or make him a replacement.

Flint:*nods*Yes,sir!

After this,we had a free period,and I met up with Harry and Ron.I and Harry looked at each other in the eyes and said "Seeker?" then nodded.

me:I'm dead scared.I mean,I don't wanna make a fool of myself...but I'm also dead scared of being the centre of attention...I've always hated it...

Harry:Tell me about it...I don't want to mess up either...

Hermione:*coming out of nowhere*You WON'T make a fool of yourself!Quidditch is in your blood.

We looked at each other in a "wtf" manner,then follower her to the trophy room.There,at Gryffindor,"James Potter" as Chaser in 1972 and "Sirius Black" as Beater,same year.So...if this is true...and this guy is my dad...then he was a Gryffindor...this makes me feel very bad...If here were alive,he'd much rather prefer Harry over me,that's what I'm sure of..

After a lot of talking,we found ourselves on the 3rd floor corridor.

me:Ermh...guys...not sure we're supposed to be here...

Hermione:That's because we are NOT supposed to be here!It's the forbidden corridor.

me:.......fuck........

Harry:Okay guys,let's get out of here~

But just as he said that,Mrs.Norris,Filtch's cat appeared,with her crimson eyes staring deadly at us,making us run in another direction,past webs and dusty statues,until we found ourselves in front of a locked door.Harry and Ron trying to use brute force-very clever guys-

Hermione:Oh,move OVER!Alohomora!

There was a CLICK sound,then we finally went past the door,escaping our doom....but not so much,as we were greetedby a HUGE Cerberus who started growling at us,drooling continuously and fiercy.

me:Fuck.

We started screaming as we ran out as fast as we could and went at the Gryffindor's common room after Harry shouting the password.

Standing in front of the fireplace we regained ourselves and started talking.

Hermione:You don't use your eyes,any of you,do you?He was GUARDING something.

me:That's true...he WAS standing on a trapdoor,wasn't he?

Hermione:Indeed.Now I'm going to bed before either of you get another clever idea to get us killed.Or worse,expelled.

me:Wait,Hermione...Where can I sleep?I don't particularly...belong here,you know?

Hermione:We'll just share the bed,it's fine.Nobody will mind.

me:Thanks...a lot...

Hermione:My pleasure.
