Daphne! Daphne! Wake up!"
"Mmm...5 more minutes."
"Ugh! Levicorpus!"
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Put me down! I'm up! I'm up! What's the deal?"
"We'll be late for class!"
"So?"
"Come on Daphne you've been up all night and you finally decide to sleep in the morning?"
"But it's only 6 a.m!" I said half asleep.
"So?"
"Fine! I'm a go shower."
I opened the water and waited a while. I got in and felt the nice warm water against my pale cold skin. I hate sleeping at nights. So many wonderful creatures and places to explore, why waste my time sleeping. Mornings, now that's a problem. How I loathe mornings. This is the time I usually take my time to "sleep" when I actually rest. After I was done, I got out of the bathroom and dried my hair. I wasn't surprised to see that Hermione was already done and ready to go to class.
"Finally!"
"Blah." I replied. Hermione just looked at me wit a funny expression on her face. I just laughed at her expression.
"...I'll be in the common room, I'll wait for you there."
"Hahahaha...ok."
She left and I finished drying my long black hair. I looked through my drawers for my uniform. I looked in front of the mirror to see how I looked. I've always admired the way my green eyes matched my heart shaped face. I grabbed my wand and my robe and headed downstairs.
"Hey Crookshanks! Bye Crookshanks!" I said when I opened the door to let Crookshanks in. I was at the common room and saw Hermione sitting in front of Ron and Harry.
"Good morning!" I said in a cheery voice.
"Hey" said Ron.
"'Morning" replied Harry.
"Can you take any longer?" teased Hermione. I laughed at her remark.
"Breakfast anyone?"
"Sure" said Harry.
"I thought you'd never ask!" said Ron.
I could see Hermione roll her eyes and giggle. We headed to the Great Hall with Hermione next to Ron, who was next to Harry, who was next to me. Ron and Hermione were busy arguing about some of Ron's flaws.
I giggled continuously at every flaw, no doubt Hermione had some flaws of her own, but knowing Ron, he wouldn't dare.
"Haha" chuckled Harry "You have a cute giggle."
"...thanks?" I replied, Harry just smiled and I could have sworn I saw him blush.
*Ahem* I heard Harry clear his throat.
"So...did you sleep well?" asked Harry changing the subject.
I simply smiled and lied. "...yea, I did." But the truth was I didn't go to sleep at all. I couldn't! It was Impossible for me to sleep! But I couldn't tell Harry that...I had to keep a low profile. We entered the Great Hall and where one of the first few to arrive there so we sat down at our table.
"It's called studying! You should try it sometimes!" Hermione told Ron slow as if he were a deaf. She is so funny sometimes. We got to the Gryffindor table and I sat in between Harry and Ron, and in front of Hermione. I wasn't really hungry at the moment, so I just ate a small bowl of oatmeal. I don't think anyone noticed my appetite. I was bored and began to play with my breakfast. I guessed I zoned out that I didn't hear Hermione ask me a question.
"Daphne? Hello?" said Ron as he waved his hand up and down in front of my face. Then someone poked me on my side, and as a reflex, I grabbed their hand. I looked up and saw that I had gotten Harry's hand and instantly let go of it. I felt my cheeks go red as I looked into his beautiful green eyes.
"Oh...sorry Harry" I said a bit embarrassed.
"That's some grip you have there" stated Harry holding his wrist. and smiling
"What's your first class?" asked Hermione a bit louder.
"Charms" I replied, still lost.
"We should get going then" said Hermione. So, I assume she has Charms also.
"Sure."
"What was that all about?" asked Hermione.
"What was all what about?" I asked. *hahaha that sounds confusing* I thought in my head.
"You...zoning out..."
"Oh...I was...err...thinking!" I smiled.
"Really? About what if I may ask?"
*darn! what to say...what to say*
"Uh...what we are going to do in Charms today?"
*ugh! that sounded more like a question, but I guess it was enough to convince Hermione.*
We entered the classroom and sat at the front of course. Professor Flitwick came in and the rest of the class seemed pretty interesting. That is until I got to Flying. I thought I would be alone in this class since Hermione had Transfiguration and I didn't know what classes Ron and Harry had. It turns out Harry also has Flying the same period I did. The downside was that we were stuck with a few Slytherins. Unfortunately, "some" of those Slytherins had to be Draco Malfoy. Oh how I despised him. I'm pretty sure Harry felt the same way. Apparently Madam Hooch was running a bit late.
"Hey Daphne!" said Harry, sounding both happy and excited. I winced. How I loathed my name. I thought it was a boring name.
"Don't...don't call me that." I breathed.
"Uh...well what can I call you?" asked Harry confused.
"Dee will be just fine." I winked.
"Alright class!" said Madam Hooch. "Today we will play a game of Quidditch."
Since Madam Hooch thought Harry and Draco were the best players, she chose them as team captains. Both Draco and Harry stepped a few feet apart away from each other on opposite sides of the field and began choosing team mates. Harry was the first to begin choosing team mates.
"Daphne" called Harry; I laughed and walked to his side.
"Haha...I know. Sorry I meant Dee" said Harry as Draco was calling Crabbe out.
"Jimmy."
"Goyle."
"Katie."
"Pansy."
They finished calling out players and the game began. I was chaser for Harry's team. Pansy was chaser for Draco's team. Pansy and I didn't get along well. She always tried to find was to hurt me, physically and emotionally that is. I looked around for the quaffle and I caught a glimpse of Harry looking at me and Draco zooming past him.
*swoosh* Went the quaffle past me and Pansy went after it. I followed the quaffle too. Pansy and I were neck to neck with the quaffle in between us. Pansy slowed down and tried to push me off my broom. I heard Madam Hooch blow the whistle and I looked up to see that Harry had caught the snitch. The class was over. My next class was Transfiguration.
"Good game" I praised Harry, who just chuckled and blushed.
"You weren't so bad yourself."
I smiled. "Thanks."
"So, what do you have next?"
"Um...Transfiguration."
"Oh...well then I guess I'll walk you there, I think Ron just had that class."
We arrived at the front of Professor McGonagall's class and to my surprise Ron and Hermione were walking out of that class.
"Oh hey Daphne" said Ron.
"Dee" corrected Harry. Ron and Hermione looked at me confused, I nodded my head.
"...Dee?" asked Ron.
"Yes."
"Uh...ok?"
"What do you guys have next?" I asked.
"Arithmacy" they all replied.
"Oh...well see you guys at lunch.
*man! I guess I'll be alone in this class.* I stepped inside the class and sat somewhere in the middle.
"Good evening class" said Professor McGonagall.
"Good evening professor" replied the class. I thought it was funny because we sounded like zombies.
