Review!
Chapter 2: The First Week
Harry woke up the next morning and expected to see the ceiling of his little cupboard in Privet Drive, but then got excited because he remembered that he was at Hogwarts. The excitement soon died away once he remembered that he was in Slytherin House surrounded by people that hated him.
He sat up in bed and stared at his emerald bed hangings. Everyone else in the dormitory was still asleep. He got up and dreesed into his robes with a newly added Slytherin patch on the chest. He felt a sudden surge of disappointment. He realized that this was his first day and looking at his clock it was still early. It was about 7 o'clock. He decided to go down to the common room and sit in one of the comfortable armchairs that surrounded the dying fire.
He sat down heavily on one of the squashy armchairs and then heard a small voice say from across the room, "I thought noone else would be down here this early in the morning."
Harry replied by saying, "I'll go if you want me too. I thought that I would be alone too. I wanted to be alone becuase I have no other friends."
The girl said, "Im Daphne Greengrass. Im a first year too. I'll be your friend if you want me too." She stood yp and Harry saw that she had dark hair that was held back in a high ponytail. Her emerald eyes exactly matched the color of the slytherin banners that hung from the walls.
"I would love it if you would be my first friend. I'm Harry, Harry Potter."
"I know," said Daphne "everyone does. Do you want to go down for an early breakfast before classes start."
"Sure, lets leave before anyone else comes down here."
After the breakfast foods had magically disappeared, the heads of houses came down from the staff table towards their house tables. Professor Snape can down and made a beeline straight for Harry and Daphne. Harry Potter, here is your schedule. Be prompt for your classes or I shall be very displeased." He tapped the blank schedule with his wand and classes and their times appeared on the once plank piece of paper.
He went on to give Daphne her classes and then Harry and Daphne compared their schedules to find that they had the exact same classes. They had Transfiguration, then Charms, followed by double Potions, and ending the day with Herbology. They set off at a brisk pace toward the Transfiguration classroom and Professor McGonagall.
Transfiguration class was uneventful except for the fact that instead if Harry turning his snail into a paperweight as he was supposed to, he turned Daphne's ponytail into a huge, black snake. Professor McGonagall put it right and Harry and Daphne laughed about it for the rest of the lesson.
They headed to Carms where a boy named Seamus Finnagan tried to turn water to rum and ended up by blowing his eyebrows off.
In their first Potions class, Snape set them a very diffucult potion and completely ignored Harry until the end of lesson where Snape jumped onto Harry and began to quiz him on things that Harry had no idea about including beozars, which are stones taken from the stomach of a goat that will cure most poisons, and ingredients, moonstone and wolfsbane, thast Harry had no idea what the properties of were. He assigned them a 6-inch long essay on the properties of Moonstone and Wolfsbane.
Snape was seriously pissing off Harry and it was only his first day. He was second on Harry Shit List, and that was not a very good place to be. Number one was Voldemort. Number three was Draco Malfoy, and numbers four and five were taken up by the four Dursley's, Vernon, Petunia, Dudley, and Marge.
They had a late lunch and headed off to their last class of the day, Herbology. Their teacher was very ragged and introduced herself as Professor Sprout. She was a short witch with a tall pointed hat with many patches.
There they tackled the venemous Strangula, which shot very sharp and poisonous spines at anyone who came too close. It took great skill and agility to dodge the spines. Professor Sprout had a large vial of anti-venom on her desk but she said that she would prefer to not have to use it.
At one point Harry got shot by one of the Srangulas and said loudly, "DAMN!" Only Daphne seemed to have heard.
He walked up to Professor Sprout and told her what happened. He began to feel slightly woozy. She administerede the antidote and he felt just as good as before.
They left the Greenhouses with no major injuries. They headed up tp the Great Hall for an early dinner and then set off for the Slytherin common room.
There the two settled down at a table and got to work on the little hormework they had.
They finished Snape's essay in no time and then played a game of Wizard Chess in which Harry lost spectacularly.
After they played their last game of Wizard's Chess, they said Goodnight and went off to bed.
Harry droppped into his bed fully clothed but was too excited to sleep. He had gotten through his first day and he had already made a friend. He was anxious to know what would happen on his second day.
Harry Woke up the next morning in clothes that he had never remembered changing into. He was wearing pajamas of shocking pink and they had the words, "KISS ME,IM HOT" written on them. Harry chuckled.
He got out of his bed and stepped out of his hangings. Everone in the entire dormitory was laughing. One boy Harry had recognized as Blaise Zabini was laughing so hard he was crying. Malfoy had obviously engineered this prank, but how did he do it. His hangings had been closed and they are supposed to have powers that block spells when they are closed. Malfoy was looking at Harry smugly and had a smirk across his face. He wanted to slap it right off, but instead, he decidied upon a different way of getting back at him. He would pull a prank of his own.
As he left the dormitory dressed as he had wanted to, he met Daphne waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs. They left the common room and walked to have breakfast together in the Great Hall. They had warm kippers and toast and then left to go to Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Professor Quirrell was an interesting teacher. He had lots of Garlic surrounding his desk and himself. He said it was because he had once defeated a vampire in a duel and the vampire had sworn revenge. He also wore a strange turbin that seemed to move even when Quirrell's head didn't. He never took it off. He assigned them a 6-inch essay on Vampires and why they like blood so much.
Divination was next and it was the most boring class you could imagine. The teacher was names Professor Trelawney. She seemed to be a bit nutty. She had them look into a crystal ball and interperet what they see. Harry and Daphne laughed at her. She kept predicting Harry's premature death, which Harry found to be extremely annoying. Harry whispered to Daphne, "This lady is an old fraud. She has said I will die three times already this class and it's only half over! I'm going to be a medical miracle if I survive!" Daphne giggled.
They left for an early lunch then headed down to the forest for Care of Magical Creatures with Professor Kettleburn. They were studying water demons. They didn't get any homework.
Their last class of the day was Astronomy, which was taught by Professor Sinistra. It was rather boring when you aren't actually looking at planets and stars.
Luckily they had no homework from that class, so they headed off to the castle and a warm dinner before tackling Quirrell's essay on Vampires.
It took them alot longer to do the essay than they had thought, so instead of playing a few games of exploding snap before bed, they went straight to bed, where Harry's plan was about to take place.
In the morning, Harry woke up early so that he could witness the screams that were sure to come. Harry sat up in bed and listened intently. All too soon, he heard a very unmalfoyish scream that sounded quite alot like a girl that he had heard scream on Monday during Herbology.
Harry ripped open his bed hangings to hear 3 more girlish screams. The four other members of the first year's Slytherin dormitory had been turned into girls and were wearing pale pink and purple skirts with a purple shirt with tons of bows on it. They were still wearing their Slytherin robes, but the silver snake had been turned to pink and the green surrounding it had been turned from emerald to purple. They had girl hairdos. Malfoy looked the best with a pink headband in his pale blonde hair. They all screamed again. Only Harry looked normal.
They all screamed at Harry, "Fix this right now! Turn us back into boys!"
Harry replied, "Sorry, but I only know how to turn boys into girls. I never found out how to turn girls back into boys. Now, you don't think I'd let you go unscathed after that prank of yours. Sorry, but you'll have to get Professor Snape to fix it.
Harrywalked out of the dormitory looked perfectly normal, which was more than he could say for the other 4.
He met Daphne in the common room and they walked out.
Daphne said out of the blue, "I heard screaming coming from your dormitory. What happened?"
"I played a prank on the others this morning. They had pranked me yesterday morning. They are now girls."
"Nice prank, Harry. Are They still girls?"
"Yeah. They won't be changing back until later today. Someone else has to change them back."
When they arrived at the Great Hall, they were not surprised to see everyone laughing. He looked towards the Slytherin table and saw Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, and Zabini all still looked like girls and Snape was striding down from the staff table and he was not smilling. He walked straight up to the boys and didn't ask any questions but just cast a spell that was supposed to turn them back into boys. They were turned back into boys, but at the instant they were back to normal, Snape turned into a girl. That inducted some fresh laughtger, mainly from the Gryffindors.
That had been Harry's second part of the prank. Anyone who tried to remove the spell from the boystook on the spell themselves. It was really quite funny. Him and Daphne laughed all the way through breakfast until Snape approached Harry, still looking like a girl and shaking with rage. "Harry Potter, remove this spell that you have used as a prank and you will have detention tonight with me at 6 o'clock. You will be sorting scarab beetles into piles of good and bad. Be there late and you will have a detention for every minute are late after this one. Now, REMOVE THIS SPELL!" he bellowed.
Harry counteracted the spell so that he wouldn't be changed into a girl when ne cancelled the spell. He turned Snape back into a boy and said, "There, are you happy now? I'll be there precisely at six. Good day." and he and Daphne got up but then Harry was pushed back down into his seat. He whipped around and saw Blaise Zabini standing over him, but then Blaise sat down beside Harry and said, "What the ruddy hell was that prank for. Even though it was a good prank on us, the having Snape change into a girl when he changed us back. It served him right."
"You don't think that I waas gonna let you get away with that prank of yours the other day, with those tears coming out of your eyes from laughing so hard and that smug little smile on Malfoy's face, now did you?"
"I really hate Malfoy guts, but that was really funny, but this prank seriously kicks the other pranks butt! I'm Blaise Zabini. I'm very impressed with your pranking ability and I was wondering if you wanted to be friends."
"Sure Blaise, we can all be friends. This is Daphne Greengrass."
"Hey Daphne."
"Hi Blaise." said Daphne.
"Let's all get going to class. I don't want to get another detention from any teacher."
"Alright." said Daphne and Blaise together.
The rest of the week passed by rather quickly with no other surprises and loads of homework.
He had survived his first week and was happy. He had one friend.
What surprises would his second week bring.
Harry has his first two friends and he's already began testing his pranking abilities, which kicks Malfoy's pranking abilities in the butt!
please review!
it will make for a very happy writer!
