Chapter 2
He was showing me around, telling me what each class was that we were passing, but I wasn't really paying attention I was way to busy staring at his way to white hair. Seriously it was blonder than Barbie's; way blonder than my dirty blond hair. Maybe I should call him whitey? Nah I'll stick to Barbie. I was lost in thought when the three people from the train walked by.
The dark haired guy gave a really mean look while saying, "Malfoy."
Barbie gave them back the same nasty look to say "Potter." I stop in my place and put my hand in my slightly wavy hair. I had a confusing look on my face while Barbie keeps walking. Eventually he realized I wasn't following anymore so he stops and looks at me.
"Who is Malfoy?"
"It's me. My last name is Malfoy."
"No your whole name is Barbie" I hear snickers coming from all three of the people as they keep walking away.
"My name is not Barbie! It is Malfoy."
"then hy do I call you Barbie then huh?"
"Because you can't think of a better name for the simple face that you are mentally impaired."
"I am not mentally impaired, in fact, I bet I'm smarter than you." I say with a smirky smile.
"Oh really prove it."
"Give me a day and I'll tell you what I'm gonna do about it…Barbie I start to walk away then I remember that I had no idea where I was going so I turned around and very bluntly say "ummm aren't you going to show me where the common room is? Jeesh we don't have all night."
He snapped out of his daze and starts walking towards a suit of armor, that looks like it has been there since the first time the school opened, and stops in front of it. I stare at him then the suit, then at him, and then at the suit, I swear I do this for like an hour. But it was honestly like a minute. He was looking at me like I should know where we were. "Is that where we are staying? Because honestly I don't wanna sleep in a suit of armor."
"Nobody is sleeping in the armor the suit opens the door when the password is said."
"Weeellll what are you waiting for. Say the password already."
"I am about to; I just have to tell you that if you don't remember the password then you have to wait till someone has the decency to open the door for you. So remember the password."
"fine." I say with a pouty face.
"Okay listen carefully," he turns towards the suit of armor and simply says, "Malum est vivere" the suit of armor seem to come alive. It took its sword and stabbed in between two bricks. After stabbing the bricks they start to silently fall to the ground.
"Well that couldn't be a harder password. But that was AWESOME. Wait how will the bricks get back up?" I say while we walk through. As soon as we pass through, the bricks magically go back into their original spots.
"Does that answer your question?"
"Noooo the bricks magically floating up to their place does not answer my question."
"You are so annoying. The girl's dorm is to the right and the boy's is to the left. You're name is on the door." He walks up the left staircase and disappears.
"Whelp…guess that decides it. Yay bed time." I take a quick look around and see that the common room has only three colors; green, silver, and black. There is a cozy little fire place in between the stairwells. In front of the fireplace is three black leather couches and two recliners. They all have the Slytherin emblem embedded in the backs, in silver, and are all surrounding a coffee table. I walk up the candle lit stairs and start to look at all the doors trying to find my room. I feel like I've been walking forever staring at the same mahogany doors with each person's name written in a silver calligraphy, when at the end of the hallway, to the left, I find my room. I walk in and stare in wonder at the castle like room.
The room was completely speechless. The wallpaper was all green. Three of the walls are a deep green while the wall behind the bed was almost neon green in color. The bed had black covers with a middle color of green for the sheets and the pillows. The room was huge. Even though the bed was a queen sized bed it still fit a dresser, a desk, two in tables, a couch/storage space at the end of the bed, and still had a huge amount of floor to, I don't know, do a jig.
I decide that I don't want to put my clothes and stuff up just yet so I put on some sweat pants and a tight spaghetti strap shirt and crawl into bed. The bed is so soft that I pass out as soon as my head hits the pillow.
*FWD to next day*
I wake up to a bright light shining on me; apparently I forgot to shut the curtains. I start to freak out until I realize that I'm at Hogwarts. I look at my clock and see that I have fifteen minutes till I will be late to my first class. I hurry and change my sweet pants and shirt into the school certified uniform. I grab my robe, tie, and black flats hoping that nobody will notice that I'm not wearing the correct shoes but come on they are ugly.
I run out of my room and through the common room when I finally realize I have no idea where my potion's class is. I look around and I see some girl leaving so I decide to go up to her and ask.
"Hey where is the potion's class?" she just points to the left so I take off running past all few suits of armor and talking pictures. While I am running I begin to put on my shoes, ties, and robes. I follow the turns and finally find two females running towards me. One has blond hair while the other has light brown hair. I get their attention by yelling "hey where are you guys going?"
"Potions, you?"
"Same."
"Wanna duck and roll going in?" says the female with blond hair.
"Hell to the yea" I say as we come up to the door. I realize that the blond is the so called Eli while the other is well I guess her friend. All three of us duck and roll into the room then high five each other. "That was so much fun!"
Eli looks at me and says "YES IT WAS."
The other girl looks at me and sticks out her hand while saying "Hey my name is-"and of course Snape just had to walk in from his office.
"Ladies quite talking and sit down."
I look around the dark creepy looking room filled with cauldrons and see that the only seat left, since Eli and the other chick sat at the table in the back, was next to this guy I've never meet but he's wearing a red tie so he must be in Gryffindor.
"Alright everybody this is Heather, this is her first year but she will be in this class because you all are imbeciles." He points to me and I stand up and do and gentlemen's bow then sit back down. "Okay who knows what lobeira means?..." a couple people raise their hands but he seems to be ignoring them "nobody?...well how about you Miss Eli."
"Oh of course Professor. Lobeira is a powerful blossom that makes a very powerful elixir thing…" she stairs off into space for a second then follows up by saying "yea that sounds about right."
"Out!" Snape hands her a slip of paper "hallway! Now!"
"Thank god!" she leaps out of her seat while she grabs the slip "See ya latter Iris." And waves at her friend, who must be Iris, as she leaves the room.
Iris looks towards her and says "See ya" with a sad smile played across her lips.
Snape then turns to the girl and says "enough…your turn Miss. Lupin!" he sticks out his hand with another slip in it towards her.
"Oh, well Professor Snape, Lobeira is a time span of about a week." She doesn't have any expression on her face. She just sits there answering his questions like a model student.
"What week Miss Lupin?"
"The week of the full moon."
"Why is that week special?"
"Because certain potions can only be made during that week"
"What potions?"
"Potions to either slow the process or stop the symptoms for the creatures of the night."
He has a small smirk on his face but quickly wipes it away to say. "Now give me an example."
"Vampires."
"We all know that…a different example." Snape snarls
"Snakes, griffin, bone tigers, dark centaurs…spiders." She says spiders with a chuckle and a red headed boy next to Potter jumps. I almost laugh but Professor Snape continues.
"You missed one…can you tell me which one you missed?"
Iris went really pale and only said "umm…"
Snape has a smirk on his face while he says "come on now. We all know that you know it…say it."
"The children of the moon."
"Ahh werewolves. Such violent creatures don't you think Miss Lupin?" after he said that Iris just stood up in front of him to say
"No professor. I believe they're not in control of their actions," she looks him straight in the eye with a nasty look "like some people. And I also believe I'll be needing that slip now. Mr. Filch would probably miss my company." She starts to snarl during the last part and some chick on the other side of the class gasped like it was unusual. Then all of a sudden her face changes into shock like she couldn't believe she said that and then she yells "BATHROOM" while taking off out of the room.
"Snape turns towards the rest of the class and says "okay class I will give you two minutes to get to know your partners for the rest of the year."
I turn towards the guy I'm sitting by I was about to introduce myself when he says "okay I know Gryffindor and Slytherin don't usually get along. So lets put our differences aside for this one class and-"
"Jeesh I was just gonna say hey my name is Heather…" I say really sadly "you don't have to be so rude"
"Wait you're not upset that we are partners?"
"Um no why would I be upset? We are partners, who cares?"
"Because you're a Slytherin and I'm a Gryffindor."
I yell sarcastically "O MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS DIFFERENT HOUSES! WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!" I fall out of my chair with my hand on my heart. I lay there for a bit while everybody stares at me.
"Miss Murphey what are you doing?" Snape walks up towards me and stares down at me.
"Well you see professor I'm dead because I'm partnered with an oddly rude guy who thinks that just because I'm a Slytherin that I'm mean, which is false by the way but yea so now I'm waiting for the coroners to conclude that I'm dead.
"Why don't you get back into your seat and open your book to page 12."
"Okay let's try a different approach," I stand up and wave my hand in front of his face while walking backwards, "you see nothing."
"I can clearly see you as you are right in front of me."
"Oh well then…I should really work on my invisibility." I sit back down and glance over at the rude Gryffindor to see he has a smile across his lips. The Professor ask more questions but I never was chosen so I stared off into space.
His voice rose, which snapped me out of my daze, to say "Okay for homework write an essay on preparing and cleaning up after a potion. You are all dismissed."Since he dismissed us early I decided I would look for Eli and Iris. I take a left down a hallway that has more lights than the dungeons. In fact there are a few more pictures of people and even a few animal pictures thrown in. I think for a bit, wondering where they could be, when all of a sudden I feel a sudden erge to go two more doors down on the right hand side. I follow my instincts and walk in to the sound of somebody breathing really heavy.
