5 YEARS LATER...
When I wake up the sun is shining through the window on top of me, I am content to just lie there for a few minutes ,untill I realise that my eyes are glued shut with sleep. I quickly rub them and yawn. I sit up and look around the empty dorm room. "Shit, shit ,shit", I exclaim as I tumble out of bed. Grabbing my new uniform and hurriedly putting it on. I grab a hair bobble and my school bag. I tie my hair back as I rush down the stairs into to the common room, a couple of 6th years laugh at the sight of me. I shoot them a dirty look as I scramble out the portrait hole.
When I get to the Great Hall, Headmistress McGonagall is almost finished handing out the timetables for 5th year Griffendors. I keep my head down as I silently join the end of the line. When it's my turn to get my timetable, she glares at me and says "Late again I see , Miss Blake and on the first day too, must be a new record".
"Sorry, ma'm".
"Charms first" she says as she taps her wand on empty timetable.
"Thanks" I mumble as I take my new timetable from her. I hurry out of the Hall, there's no time for food, I'm probably already late as it is.
Thankfully Professor Flitwick isn't there yet, I walk to the empty seat beside my friend Chrissy.
"You could have woken me up this morning" I hiss at her.
"But you looked so peaceful" she laughs, mocking me.
Most days she wakes me up so I actually have time for breakfast but she never does it on the first day of a new term, especially not on the first day of the year. A short young woman enters the classroom and immediately everyone turn silent and starts eying her up.
"I-I am Professor Coleman, your new charms teacher" she sounds nervous, feel bad even though I can do nothing about it. It's obvious by the look of her that, this is her first time teaching.
"What happened to Professor Flitwick?" a girl called Amanda asks.
"He had a minor heart attack over the summer, and felt the need to retire".
An awkwark silence followed, no one was really sure what to make of this news.
"Well t-then, I thought we would start off by revising what you you did last year" she lumberd over to her desk where she had planted a stack off books and papers. She is a rather chunky woman and it soon became apparent that she wasn't graceful because she trips over her own feet and sends everything on the desk flying. She turns bright red as ,the whole class bursts into laughter while she crawls on all fours trying to pick up her papers. Fortunatly a girl in the front row gets up and helps her. Which adds another 5 points to Griffendor.
Chrissy is in stitches beside me, elbow her in the ribs trying to make her shut up, she doesn't seem to notice. Chrissy is a great friend but sometimes she is completely inconsiderate to other peoples feelings.
She's still giggling when we leave the classroom. "That teacher is a joke".
"She was just nervous" I say, she gets the message. She knows that, she can be a bitch sometimes thats why we get along I'm the only one who isn't afraid to tell her to shut up.
The rest of the day goes by quickly, before I know it's the last class of the day, Potions. As I'm hurrying down the stairs to the Dungeons a Slytherin boy knocks me over sending me sprawling.
"Get out of my way Griffendor!" he laughs as he runs out of my veiw.
"Self centered Slytherins" I curse at him.
"Well that's not a very nice thing to say" an amused vocie says behind me.
I turn around to glare at whoever said that. Great another Slytherin I think to my self. He bends down to help me. I'm completely shocked. We both stand up. I get my first good look at him, his tall with blavk curly hair falling into his green eyes and his left arm is in a sling.
"Thanks" I mumble.
"You're welcome, Una Blake" he says handing me my Potions book.
And just like that his gone.
