It was a beautiful October day at Hogwarts. Everything was going well as Ginny Weasley was heading off back to the Gryffindor common room to get her bag for potions. She was taking her time as she still had 15 minutes but she did walk briskly to ensure that Snape wouldn't be able take points off Gryffindor for her being late. Snape was pettier this year than in years previous using even the slightest mistake to take points off of Gryffindor.
The rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin was stronger than ever. Gryffindor blamed Slytherin for the war and their losses. Slytherin was angry that everyone hated them so much and for almost no reason as many of them had barely played a part in it. There were many rumors about the Slyhterins and how they were all Death Eaters. The haterad toward Slytherin was not only from Gryffindor house but from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff as well. No one was happy to say the least to be at Hogwarts this year, but it was the ministry mandated that all students had to return to complete their final year.
Not really paying attention to where she was going Ginny walked straight into Pansy Parkinson, the Slytherin princess. Pansy, known to be mean and snobby was in an especially bad mood. Not only was she called out in Charms for daydreaming, but it was in front of the Hufflepuffs who cried out in laughter after seeing Professor Flitwick slam a book down on her desk and then her yelpinh out in surprise. It had been incredibly embarrassing and she had lost the Slytherin house 25 points. Walking out of Charms toward the Great Hall for Lunch, she was starving having missed breakfast because her hair wasn't staying how she wanted it. In her fury she walked with her nose up, as she was –or at least believe – better than everyone else there. She was a Parkinson, one of the oldest wizarding families out there.
In her rush she ran straight into someone, Ginny Weasley. "Watch where you're going Weaslette," Said Pansy with a snobby tone.
"Why should I watch where I'm going if you're the one that ran into me Puginson. Now move because unlike you I have classes to go to and stuff to do".
"Do not talk to me like that Weasley. I am a Parkinson, way above you and your family; I deserve to be treated with respect". Others were crowding around trying to get a glimpse of what was happening.
"Respect others before you expect respect from others. You don't deserve my respect at all" Ginny replied annoyed, she now only had 11 minutes to get to the Gryffindor tower and then down to the dungeons, she was going to be late now no matter what.
She started to go walk around Pansy when Daphne Greengrass comforted her friend. "It's okay Pans, some people don't have any manners what so ever. Don't worry though, it's just a Weasley, they can't afford to know who is better than them, they'll learn eventually." She said loud enough for Ginny to hear.
Enraged, Ginny replied back, "Don't you dare say anything about my family. Yes we aren't the richest wizarding family but at least my family is genuine. Unlike you we can actually live with each other. Why you think of yourself as being above me is beyond my ability. And, unlike you, I DO have manners."
"Wow Weasley, that's low even for you. First you run into me then you tell me I'm not worthy of your respect and then you say your family is better than mine. Well I'll have you know…" Pansy was cut off by an angry Ronald Weasley. No one could insult his family and get away with it.
"Who do you think you are insulting my little sister and my family, your 'family' is locked away in Azkaban right now aren't they? That's what they get for supporting Voldemort. You should be there too, you're lucky there was no evidence that you supported that crazy head, you being in Slytherin should be enough. All you snakes are evil to the core just like he was." Ron said. Just the mere presence of Slytherin made him pissed off.
"Not ALL of us wanted to be part of the war dumbass Weasel we were forced into," yelled one of the bystanders, a Slytherin one for sure.
From his office Dumbledore was watching this debacle happen. There was constant tension at Hogwarts. He really thought that the war would've united the houses, but all it had done was isolate them even more. "This is not good Fawkes," he frowned at the bird, "They need to accept each other as people not enemies. The war is now over, but if this continues it will spark another." He ended his thoughts as he walked out of his office toward the scene.
Touching his wand to his mouth, "What is going on here? Miss Weasley, Mr. Weasley, Miss Greengrass, Miss Parkinson, Mr. Zabini, would someone care to explain? This is a school, 'there will be discipline'," he quoted Umbridge watching all the students cringe at the memory of their late ex-teacher. "Now in order to ensure that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry runs in an orderly fashion there will be no more fights in the hallways; verbal, magical, or physical. Is that clear," The students were silent never having seen Dumbledore react that way before. "ANYONE caught fighting WILL be expelled no matter what the situation is." He said sharply before turning around and walking back to his office.
A/N: Okay so the first chapter is done. What did you think? There's no Dramione in this chapter yet but I swear it is a Dramione fic. Also still looking for a beta to check for grammatical errors in this. I did the best I could to proof read this but I my grammar sucks.
