Okay so I feel bad I really should of done introductions in the first chapter but I didn't because I was trying to figure out how to write stories. I think I have a hand on it now so I'm going to do introductions now. My name is Allison (obviously) and I'm co-writing this story with my friend Mary. This is my very first fanfiction so don't go too hard on me. The chapters should get progressivley longer as I go on. Anyways I'll stop boring the 2 people who are actually reading this and give you the second chapter.

Chapter 2: The Potions Homework

September 23rd 1996

'…...And then he said I think you're really pretty.' Megan my bestest friend in the whole world said exitedly.

'Hmm what?' I sputtered. Sometimes I zoned out on Megan's stories. She had a bit of a boring voice and I was a bit of a day dreamer. The two didn't mix well when she told stories.

'You weren't listening were you?' Megan said in a bored tone letting her magazine lazily drop on the floor beside her on the ground of the Hufflepuff common room.

'Uh yeah of course I was' I replied while tucking a piece of my curly blonde hair behind my ear.

'What was I talking about then?'

'That he said that you we're really pretty' I responded a little bit too confidently.

'Who's He?'

'Stephen Comfoot?' I answered unsurely.

'EHHHHH! Wrong. Anthony Goldstein.' Megan corrected while also imitating a buzzer noise.

'Dang it' I laughed 'I was close though'

'Kind of but I still hate you for not listening' Megan said jokingly.

'Oh whatever you still love me'

'Sure. How's your potions homework going?' Megan asked finally picking her magazine up off the floor.

'Haven't started it yet, Mom' I answered rolling my eyes.

'Is there a reason why?' questioned Megan 'I noticed that you didn't have your ptions textbook with you when we left class' she continued without looking up from her magazine.

'Well that would've been something I would've wanted to know while I was leaving'

'Why didn't you tell me?' I asked

'Because you never listen to my stories Stella' 'Plus I thought you'd figure it out before there was only ten minutes left until curfew' Megan added while looking at her watch.

'Good thing it's not due until Monday' I said relieved while flipping through a paint colour magazine. I wanted to redecorate my room over Christmas break and I still didn't know what colours I wanted.

'What are you talking about? Its due tomorrow.' Megan said finally looking up from her magazine to look at me with those big hazel eyes that I was really starting to hate right now.

'What?' I jumped up from the common room couch that we were both laying on together.

'I thought you knew' protested Megan.

'If I'd known don't you think I would've remembered my textbook and done my homework' I yelled a bit more quietly so I didn't wake up our entire house.

'You're very forgetful and like to procastinate, I couldn't tell'

'I'm going to fucking kill you Megan Jones' I whisper yelled while I through on my slippers and started for the Hufflepuff common room exit.

'You better hurry up! You only have 5 minutes until curfew' Megan yelled back, half chuckling.

'Dumbass' Megan whispered to herself, once she thought I was out of hearing reach.

'I heard you' I shouted as I slammed the door.

'God I fucking hate her' I whispered while half jogging and half trippering over my slippers.

These shoes were definitely not made for running.

I was just reaching theh bottom of the staircase leading to the dungeons when I saw her.

That stupid ass cat, .

So as any sane person who was out after curfew in Hogwarts I bolted into the first classroom I could see to hide.

I had just reached the door and was about to come to a stop when the door opened by itself and I rain straight into something, or more like someone.

'Um I'm pretty sure its Beauxbatons not Beauxbutons.' argued Aaron Burgundy.

'No,no,no its Beauxbutons Aaron.' 'And if you were wondering how I knew this, its because I hung out with one of those smoking hot girls from there who would not stop talikg about it' replied Alexander. 'It's not like you would know anyway, I didn't see any of them hanging out with you.'

'Oh shut your ugly, stupid mouth before I-'

'Okay guys that's enough' I said cutting off the two best friends argument before it escalated.

How they were friends anyway was beyond me. These two argued about the stupidest things about 10 times a day. They were like an old married couple.

'Whatever I'm heading up to bed now, I'm tired' yawned Alexander as he started walking to the Slytherin common room.

'Same I have a Transfiguration test tomorrow and if I don't pass my mom will beat my ass.' agreed Aaron.

'You coming Dalen?' Alexander asked.

'Nah I'm going to go read for a while, but you guys can head up' I responded a bit anxiously. I just wanted to sit in a comfortable chair away from their arguing and Draco Malfoy's annoying hauty voice acting like he owned Hogwarts itself.

Although ever since we got back from summer holidays he'd been acting a bit weird. I mean I definitely wasn't complaining. Maybe I could actually start reading in the common room without his annoying rants, while everyone else listened like he was some sort of god.

I doubt I would actually start reading there anyway. I hated everyone there and the less time around them the better.

While the only two people I could actually kind of tolerate in my house headed to bed, I headed to the spare classroom near the potions room to continue my book.

I reached my favourite place in all of Hogwarts and I started to ponder why exactly I was placed in Slytherin. I fit every description of Ravenclaw but for some unknown reason I was placed in Slytherin.

I get that my entire pureblood family was placed in Slytherin but ever since I first found out about the houses I became very partial to Ravenclaw.

I still haven't really gotten over the dissapointment of hearing the sorting hat call Slytherin.

Finally I decided that I wanted to read my book and stop debating all of my life choices.

It seemed like I'd only been there for 10 maybe 15 minutes. But in reality it had been 2 hours.

'Shit, shit, shit, shit' I whispered 'Its past curfew and is probably lurking around and he always seems to know that I'm in here and sends that stupid cat'

'Okay calm down Dalen.' 'Maybe next time don't spend an hour contempulating stupid things'

I checked my watch. It's only 2 minutes past curfew I can easily sneak up without anyone noticing.

I calmly walked to the door and proceeded to open it, when I was flown backwards by something coming through the door.
