A/N: This is my first fanfic so please tell me what you think.
The first day of the new term at Hogwarts had just begun. All the students looked tired as they headed down to breakfast. "C'mon you guys, were going to be late for breakfast," shouted Hermione Granger.
The Gryffindor boy's dorm door opened and two boys walked out. "yawnsSorry Herm, some of use like to get a lot of sleep in the morning," Ron Weasly said sleepily.
"Well, some of use like to have some breakfast before their first class of the day," Hermione replied.
"Let's just stop arguing and head down to breakfast," Harry said.
The trio walked down to the Great Hall to get some breakfast. When they entered, they went to sit down next to some of their friends. "This breakfast looks good," Ron said while scooping a big spoonful of scrambled eggs onto his plate.
"Yeah, it does. So you guys, what class do we have first?" Harry asked.
"Oh, let's see, first we have," Hermione paused, "double potions with Snape."
"Just our luck," Harry said back.
"Good morning students," Professor Dumbledore said. The hall got quiet except for a view whispers. "I hope everyone had a good nights rest. Please be sure you are not late to your first class of the term. I would like to inform all 5^th years that we are getting a new transfer student from our American school. She is in the 5^th year and is in the Gryffindor house. Her name is Tawny Williams, and I assume you all will be meeting her soon. She will be arriving sometime during 1^st period. Also, I don't want any trouble this year. No fights in the halls before or after classes. That is all the announcements I have for you now."
The students went back to eating their breakfasts and continuing the conversations they were having. "C'mon you guys, you heard Dumbledore. He doesn't want any of us to be late to our first class, and that class is in 10 minutes," Hermione told Ron and Harry.
"Herm's right Ron. We do have to walk all the way down to the dungeons. Snape would surely kill us if we're late."
The trio gathered up their belongings and started walking down to the dungeons. They arrived there before Professor Snape, so they set their stuff down outside the class, and sat down on a bench close to the classroom.
"Well if it isn't Potter, Weasly and Granger," Draco Malfoy sneered.
"What do you want Malfoy?" Harry asked.
"Let's see, I want you to get of that bench so I can sit down for starters," Malfoy said.
"I don't think so ferret. We got here first, so we get the bench," Hermione told him.
"I see we have started calling each other names now Mudblood. Plus, don't forget what Dumbledore said. No fights before or after class," Draco said to Hermione.
"We didn't start it," Hermione said.
"Look, I'll make you a deal. You stop being friends with Potter and Weasly here, and I'll leave you a lone for the most part," Draco offered Hermione.
"Like I would," Hermione said.
Once Hermione had said that, Professor Snape turned down the hallway they were in and unlocked the Potions door.
"Let's go in and get a good seat before the other are taken you guys," Harry said. The trio entered the classroom and took a seat up front. Shortly after, the rest of the students entered the classroom took a seat. "Welcome students the Potions, and as you all know, I am Professor Snape," Snape told the class, "This year in Potions class we will be getting into the more complex Potions that will take you longer to complete."
"Professor," Dumbledore said, "May I please see Miss. Granger outside for a moment."
"Of course Professor," Snape answered, "We will begin taking notes on our first potion of the year when Miss. Granger returns."
Hermione followed Dumbledore out of the classroom and into the hallway. She saw another girl next to Dumbledore. She had golden blonde hair that was straight and blue eyes. She was average height and was smiling. "Miss. Granger, meet Miss. Williams."
"Hi, I'm Hermione," Hermione told Tawny.
"And I'm Tawny," Tawny said.
"Miss. Granger, I would like you to show Miss. Williams around the school. You both have the same class schedule so Miss. Granger will be able to help you more," Dumbledore said, "If you have any questions, you may ask Miss. Granger, or myself. Now, I will let you both get into the Potions class so you won't miss anything. I will go with you to introduce you to the students, then I will leave."
"Ok," Hermione said.
Hermione and Tawny both walked into the classroom behind Professor Dumbledore.
Back in the classroom
"I wonder what's wrong," whispered Harry to Ron.
"Yeah, I wonder why Dumbledore pulled her out," Ron added.
The door to the classroom opened and Dumbledore entered followed by Hermione and another girl. "Professor and students," Dumbledore said, "this is Miss. Tawny Williams."
Hermione and Tawny took a seat next to each other in the front of the classroom. "Alright, now that everyone knows who our new student is, I will now assign lab partners," Snape said, "This year, you will be paired boy girl and Slytherin Gryffindor." The whole class moans as Snape said this. Snape pulled out a piece of parchment. "Potter and Parkinson, Granger and Goyle..." Snape says as he continues reading name off the list, "and finally, Williams and Malfoy. I would like everyone to sit with your lab partner. Yes Miss. Granger," Snape says to Hermione who has her hand raised.
"Professor Dumbledore asked me to show Tawny around so shouldn't we be lab partners?" Hermione asks,
"Miss. Granger, you will have enough time after class to show her around, and I do believe Draco will be able to help her in this class. 10 points taken from the Gryffindor house for asking stupid questions," Snape said.
The class moved to sit with their lab partners. Hermione showed Tawny who Draco was and then Hermione went to sit with her lab partner.
