Sydney frowned. She knew this test material by heart! She had studied harder than anyone in Gryffindor and had memorized the entire essay she wrote about ancient ruins, word for word! So why wasn't this coming to her?
"Five minutes!" Professor Flitwick chirped happily, clearly oblivious to the moans that greeted his announcement. It was first year final exams at Hogwarts, and nobody but Sydney had studied very hard.
Sydney had been told that she was a lot like Hermione Granger, whom she greatly admired. That wasn't making her feel any better today.
"Hermione would know how to effing translate this!" Sydney grumbled, and hastily wrote down her best guess, when she saw the hourglass drain out.
There was a collective sigh when Flitwick took all the tests.
Sydney jerked around as a paper airplane hit her neck. The thrower was none other than Scorpius Malfoy.
"Seriously?" She spat out at him, and he chuckled.
"Open it." he sneered, leaning back in his chair. He then placed his hands behind his neck, and laid his feet all over the back of Sydney's chair.
"EW!" Sydney shrieked, and jerked forward, causing Scorpius to fall over headfirst.
Ignoring his furious shouts, Sydney tore open the plane, ripping it in two. Placing the fragments together, she discovered that "The Great Malfoy" had been so kind as to leave her a note.
"Too bad you're not In Slytherin! You would be a perfect little pureblood bitch!" the note read.
Furious, Sydney casted reducto on the airplane.
"Oh my goodness, Ms. Lestrange!" Flitwick squealed. "What have you done?"
What have YOU done? Sydney thought furiously, as the whole class turned to stare at her. How could you have just told everyone my real last name?
Now everybody knew who Sydney's mom was. The infamous Bellatrix Lestrange. Sydney snatched her quill and ran out of the room. Right now ruins sounded pretty good.
A/N: Hello all, this is actually ILoveBem. I was given permission by Snapella-Hopper to post this under her account, because she can't. She wrote this a while ago. I don't know if she'll continue this story (hope, hope, hope), but I divided her first chapter into two parts, so you can expect that soon. Still review, she'll get them.
