Alessandra slipped out of bed and went to get dressed she pulled on her uniform easily, after slipping her underclothes on she moved to her skirt and knee socks along with black Mary Janes. She grabbed her shirt off the rack and began to button it before slipping a jumper over it with a green and silver snake on the chest. She reached into her drawer and pulled out a silver and green tie which she put on before tucking it under her jumper she then threw her robes on and clasped the button. She decided not to do much with her hair and just left it down, she then sprinted from her room eagerness flowing through her motivating her quick movements when she made it to the common room it was a sight to behold. Draco sat there still in his nightclothes and his hair was an absolute atrocity, in that moment he didn't look like the perfect ice cold sculpture he pretended to be. Slowly she crept up behind the couch and then leaned down to whisper in his ear. "I would fix my hair if I were you least our classmates think you to be a new species of Gorgon specifically Medusa~"

He shot straight up in the air and a chuckle escaped her, he sprinted into his room and she couldn't help but chuckle. He was no doubt fixing that horrible hairdo and getting dressed for the day.  She took a seat and pulled out her edition of Hogwarts a history it was her favorite read so far along with the potions book about all the different ingredients. When the term was over she would have to start up an ingredient garden of her own potions certainly did look fascinating. The door swung open behind her, frustration filled the air as the sound of his footsteps approached her.

"You cannot tell anyone what you saw I have a reputation to uphold and if people knew then I would lose respect. I can be your friend for a little bit but you'll be on your own soon I'll just give you the basics and help guide you around. Why are you up so early anyway~?"

"I want to help Professor Mcgonagall set up class if she needs it which she probably doesn't but it's also an opportunity to learn from grand masters of magic who know far more than we do. Speaking of magic I'm guessing Blaise is already waiting at the dinning hall that would make the most sense~"

Getting up from her chair she met Draco's eyes and then smirked. "We could always race to the great hall last one there is a mandrake root~!" She takes off quickly leaving him dumbfounded, moments later she heard him gaining on her but she wasn't going to lose. She felt him blow by and decided to conserve her energy for a final push. The goal was straight ahead the old oaken doors in view she gave one last push and got past him at the last second, she leaned down and took deep breaths the sound of her heart racing was deafening.

"That's my victory I believe that means your the rotten mandrake root Draco better luck next time, just a tip conserve your energy for final pushes~" Draco huffed and took deep breaths before turning to her. "Next time you won't be so lucky I don't take losing lightly I am the best~" she rolled her eyes and then searched around for Blaise, Neveah sat next to him and both seemed to be enjoying breakfast.

"Well good morning trouble makers enjoying the food I see and Neveah great to see you again~" she slid in on the left of Blaise while Draco sat across from them.

"I was worried mate if you took to much longer there wouldn't have been any breakfast left for you. I may have considered saving some for Alessandra though I'm nice that way~" she watched Neveah smack his shoulder and she shook her head today her hair rested in a nice twist. "Honestly Blaise you don't need to eat everything that comes down the street have a little decorum I'm sure Draco and Sandra would like something to eat as well go on you two dig in~"

Draco sighed and then looked down at his pumpkin juice his reflection present in the liquid he almost seemed to be in deep thought. "I'm sure father will be at my first quidditch match later this month I have to do well I can't fail I'll never live it down Blaise you and I will be practicing on the quidditch pitch~"

Blaise stoped mid bite and then frowned before meeting Draco's eyes. "You know no matter what you do it won't be good enough even if you won every game of the season~" Neveah shook her head and then closed her eyes. "Someone like that isn't worth getting approval from you know in the end you'll be much happier if you play for yourself~"

Draco shook his head. "I have to live up to my fathers expectations he's my hero I have to make him proud if not then I'm a failure and no doubt I'll face punishment or at the very least disapproval~" When Alessandra hears this she looks up from her plate. "You know that's no way to live don't be weighed down by your father and his preconceived notions of what perfection should be~! You should make your own opinions and paths those who came before don't know everything and we all have the power to improve wether that be through our work or service to others. When someone goes against the grain for good reason that's when history starts to change for the better it's just something to think about~"

Draco then went quite closing his eyes he began to think upon her words, perhaps she was right maybe there was more to life than pleasing his father, it was no secret that his father was a less than ideal person, most at school were terrified of the backlash they might receive from Lucius Malfoy.

"I'll give it some thought but for now we should be getting onto class I know you want to get there early Alessandra, I'll show you to the transfigurations classroom no doubt Professor Mcgonagall is already there~" she nods and gets up before stretching her back to loosen up for the day. "Alright lead the way Draco and thank you for showing me around Blaise keep Neveah company okay and Neveah make sure Blaise doesn't fall ill off food~"

She walks out of the great hall with Draco and down to the Transfigurations classroom. "You have potions first thing this morning don't you~?" He nods and then sighs. "Yes I'm not looking forward to Professor Snape first thing in the morning I would much rather take his class in the afternoon~" she nods and then thinks for a few moments. "Well I do have a special recipe for hot chocolate I can brew after all our classes maybe that will make it more bearable and it would seem we've hit my stop. I'll see you later Draco have fun with the rest of your day~"

She enters the classroom and looks around it had been there for a very long time indeed. If these walls could talk imagine the stories they could tell, the secrets they could divulge. She saw the quills were not set out yet and the goblets for the days lesson they happened to be guarded by a black and grey cat. "Well good morning to you miss kitty do you belong to Professor Mcgonagall, your such a lucky cat she seems like a very nice lady~" the cats tail flicked happily and it's eyes followed her as she began setting the room up for class. She worked through the twenty minutes humming a tune to herself and the room looked pristine. "Now the professor can get right into teaching although I suppose with magic it could have gone more quickly. Oh well a lazy witch makes a horrid student best to get the blood flowing in the morning~!" She turned and saw the cat hop off the desk and walk up to her. A purr sounded from the noble creature and she bowed. "Thank you I'm glad I could please you, now Professor Mcgonagall won't have to worry about the room~" The cat in an instant shifted form and there stood Professor Mcgonagall Alessandra's mouth fell open. "Absolutely incredible Professor~!"

Mcgonagall smiled slightly and then turned walking back to her desk before speaking clearly. "Ten points shall be awarded to Slytherin for you kindness miss Ibris. You are the first student I've had in a long time that thought enough to come help me set up early, we may have magic but it's the thought that counts~" Alessandra took a seat and then looked to the Professor. "Thank you Professor I'm glad that I could be of service to you and thank you for all the knowledge you are about to impart on all of us. Transfiguration is probably my second favorite branch of magic behind defense against the dark arts and I look forward to learning from you~" Mcgonagall looked up from her work. "Sometimes it's the student that teaches the professor and I look forward to having you in class as well miss Ibris~"

Draco meanwhile started his trek to the potions lab, the halls were eerily quite even as early as it was the feeling was unsettling at best, down the steps he went until he came to the old wooden door no doubt the others would be along shortly this semester Slytherin had potions with Ravenclaw no doubt Blaise and Neveah were going to have a ball. He went to his station and sat down looking at what professor Snape put on the blackboard he quickly turned his school text to the correct page and waited for Snape to arrive. He read for a good ten minutes before he heard the door open again seeing Neveah and Blaise chatting away.

"You will not believe it Blaise the fool honestly tried to eat raw mandrake thinking his arthritis was actually due to petrification if he had been kinder I may have warned him of the effects of raw mandrake~" Blaise snickers. "Ah the feeling of karma coming around to bite someone wondrous isn't it. Fortunately you and I are good people therefore karma should always pay positive dividends to us~" he pulls out the chair for her and smiles before he starts to rub her shoulders. "So are you going to watch my quidditch practices I hear we can share some new snacks that will be sold at the games curtesy of the Weasley twins~" She nods. "I'll be studying the wind patterns and working out the best formula to win on game day unless Slytherin is playing Ravenclaw then I need to support my house~" Blaise gasped. "Why Neveah you break my poor little heart I was prepared to give you the world~"

Draco rolled his eyes as his stomach started to turn they were disgusting it was too sickly sweet to bare. The others began to walk in and pansy Parkinson sat beside him, that didn't further ruin his already messy morning oh no not at all.

"Drakie you know we'll do well today and afterwards we can go snogging all these classes are lame anyway~" He goes back to reading. "In case you haven't noticed Parkinson some of us actually value our education and want to do something with our lives clearly you are not one of them. I am one of those people however so you would do well to stay silent while I study. Professor Snape despises disruption which you seem to cause on a daily basis~" She shrugs and then goes to playing with the beakers and glasses as Professor Snape blows into the room.

"I know it's early and most of you are probably even more inept than usual but do try and pay attention a mistake in today's brewing could very well have sever consequences you will be attempting to brew a strengthening potion all of you have randomly assigned partners~" Draco didn't give it much thought Professor Snape favored him and would gift him a talented partner. "Mister Malfoy you shall be working with mister Goyle~"

Draco felt his jaw twitch, there was no way this was happening had Professor Snape lost his bloody mind. If there were ever a sure fire way to prove the karma theory Blaise followed this was it. "Of course sir come on Goyle let's brew the best potion here if you pay attention there will be extra snacks involved~" He watched as the heavier boy clapped his hands in eagerness. "Just try not to blow either of us up alright, I don't have a death wish~" Goyle nods and starts looking through the book to his recipe. "I'll get the ingredients Draco no need for you too trouble yourself~"' he heads to the ingredient closet and Draco makes a mental note to check all of the ingredients there was no room for slip ups. Draco followed the directions carefully tentatively allowing goyle to contribute. He turned away for a split second to get more powdered griffin claw when he heard the sound of rapid bubbling emanating from behind him.

"Uh Draco something went wrong~!" Draco whipped around and saw the bubbling mess he also saw goyle had added salamander tail instead of blood. There was also a large cut present on his hand so blood must have fallen into the potion as well. "Take cover~!" Draco dove to the floor and the cauldron took off like a rocket zooming around the classroom students let out screams of terror as the heavy metal object flew around. Snape happened to be coming out of the potions closet looking at his book he looked up and the shock was apparent on his face he didn't even have time to reach for his wand as the cauldron winged him in the head. The room began to spin and before anyone could move Professor Snape fell to the ground unconscious. Draco poked his head up and took a deep breath, Merlin's beard that was it his wizarding career was over he had just murdered a professor. No wait he was still breathing a sigh of relief escaped Draco's lips, then horror set in once again. He wasn't dead that meant punishment for sure oh, why did the Professor partner him with Goyle, whom was long gone out the door. He watched as Professor Snape managed to get up his head bleeding slightly. "Mister Malfoy have a seat we have your punishment to discuss~!" Bloody hell could this day get much worse he only hoped Alessandra faired better one of them had to make Slytherin house proud.
