I woke up my first real day of school, well not technically … my first day of school with classes. I was fully rested and it was a breezy day. I liked September because my birthday is in September. My birthday is September 10.
When I woke up I was surprised to see my sister there in the room with me. That would take some getting use to. I looked around and saw 5 other people in the room! I was an only child and had a room to myself… ok I thought I was an only child… that is before I found out about Sydney. But if none of them snored I could get along just fine.
I put on my robes grabbed my wand and headed down the stairs to the common room. Boy it would take getting used to grabbing a stick in the morning. Then I remembered I hadn't a clue where breakfast was. I asked the first person I saw and they happily lead me to the entrance hall. It was interesting seeing lots of people there. I'm not really a breakfast person but this looked appetizing I thought to myself if this was what a normal breakfast was like I wanted to see a feast!
Before long I noticed my sister and friends sitting at the Gryffindor table so I went to join them. I was wondering what class I had first. I asked my sister what class she had first and she said transfiguration. Then I asked her if she had my schedule and Sydney said yes. I was so excited to see what I had first and to see if I had all my classes with her. First I has transfiguration then charms, I skipped a few then POTIONS!
Well I was really looking forward to potions so the rest of the day just flew by. I think I did ok in transfiguration and herbology was just like gardening except with more dangerous plants. My adopted mum always liked gardening. I was surprised when I was making my way down to the dungeons. I was seiked. I loved cooking when I thought I was a muggle and I guess this was just like cooking except you're making things to help or harm you rather then things to eat.
What I learned from having other classes is that there are some people to stay away from. I've always had a sense for good people and bad people. But sometimes they are completely neutral. Back in my old school I had a friend and she swore some but it was really weird for me because I didn't get the feeling of bad or good around her. So when I met her I was really confused.
Anyway when I think potions I think the color purple. So my hair turns purple. No surprise? Well it is kind of weird because when I think cooking I think beige or yellow.
So in potions I met someone who was like a villain. I really don't like talking about villains though because for Muggle School I had to read Inkheart. So I was just doing the work assigned then this kid comes over and I could sort of tell that he was not the kind of person that you want to hang around from the sneer on his face.
I looked to see where he came from and found the empty cauldron in the back of the room. Typical troublemaker. So he came over to me and told me that my cauldron was supposed to be light blue and steaming slightly like his. Well I had read up on potions this summer so I knew he was wrong. But I went along and told his that I had made a mistake, then I told him that it should look yellow when he put in the goat eyes.
This made me laugh because it should never look yellow and we weren't supposed to add goat eyes! The goat eyes were just on our tables to try and trick us.
He ended up getting a very bad look from the teacher because we were making a simple treat to ramkin fever.
For my first day of school I think I did pretty well. I mean I didn't get any homework because the teachers were being nice to me because I fainted. Everyone cheered at that! I was glad i was kind of popular because I made some mistakes in muggle school like being really smart and showing it. I got bullied a lot because I was smart. But that didn't mean I liked school. I mean It was ok because I would probably get really bored in the school day without it.
