Chapter 3-

Meeting the New Potions Teacher.

The hall was quiet and no one spoke for the few seconds that it took McGonagall to scan through her list of student names. She looked from her list to the exchange students and began to call out their names one by one in alphabetical order. She would then place the hat onto their heads and like magic the hat would speak, in riddles and then call out a house name, in which a moment where the house members would cheer for they had recieved a new member.

"LOUISE, Samantha!"

"Hufflepuff!"

"MACHEAL, Ingrid."

"Slytherin!"

This went on for a while because there were about 25 students, then Tanuja and Jessica both looked in Michelle's direction.

"MATULOVIC, Michelle!"

Michelle looked back at her friends who gave nervous smiles and she slowly walked up to the front of the stool and sat down, The sorting hat plopped onto her head, and one of the sewed up cracks opened like a mouth and started to speak.

"Oh, Not bad at all, The knowledge is flowing through me like an open book, better be RAVENCLAW!!"

Michelle smiled in relief and cheers sounded throughou the hall, she began to walk over to the Ravenclaw table, sitting down next to some new friends. A couple more names were called out before it was Tanuja's turn.

"VAN AARSSEN, Tanuja!"

Tanuja left her chair and walked out to sit down on the stool, she looked back at Jessica and gave her a thumbs up from behind her back. The hat fitted onto her head and it began to speak.

"Hmm A younger one that has gained much knowledge throughout her years but It'll have to be- GRYFFINDOR!!"

The Gryffindor table cheered as another student joined them and after all that there was only one left, Jessica.

"Oh man.. I'm always the last person left standing.." She complained in her head.

"WILLIAMS, Jessica." McGonagall called out, smiling at the nervous, lonely girl.

As creeped up towards the front, she saw McGonagall small and heard her say softly, "Your the last one left."

The Proffessor placed the hat on her head, which was heavier then she imagined it to be. "ohhh.." the hat grinned.

"This one is different then the rest, Smart and talented but extremely naughty.." It chuckled, in a slightly evil voice.

Jessica blushed and put her hand over her mouth, she heard as she heard some giggles from the four tables, she could see Proffessor McGonagall smiling.

"Trouble making type are we ?", The hat asked, "but i dont think it will be hard finding where to put you.."

Jessica gulped and closed her eyes.

"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat bellowed.

Jessica slowly opened her eyes and smiled, that meant she could be in the same house and Tanuja. She hopped off the stool and looked back at McGonagall, giving the older woman a small bow. She managed to get a quick look at the staff table. She saw a strange looking main sitting to the far right. The main feature she could make out was the fact that he had shoulder length black hair. He seemed to be staring right at her and for some reason, she was caught in a slight trance.

"Miss Williams." A voice spoke behind her," It's time to join your house mates,"

Jessica said a small apology and walked down the steps to join her new house. She took a seat across from Tanuja, who gave her a goofy grin. She looked at the people around her and give polite smiles to all of them. She was about to introduce herself before Dumbledore spoke up.

"So There we have it," He smiled."Students of Hogwarts, you have met your new friends, I am sure you will all get along, and with that lets have a new change of uniform!" Dumbledore said, he waved his right hand and all the new students uniform colours had changed to suite their houses, Girls and boys giggled in excitement.

"Let the Feast Begin!"

Like Abracadabra huge piles of magnificent food grew like flowers onto the tables. Jessica looked around and smiled, god was she hungry. A girl stood up and sat next to Jessica. She had long, wavy mousy brown hair and a clean pale face. "Hello," She said holding out a hand."I'm Hermione Granger"

Jessica smiled and shook Hermione's hand, "Nice to meet you meet you Hermione, I'm Jessica Williams, Just call me Jess."

Hermione smiled started to pick up some mash potatoes and pieces of meat. "So your from Australia ? I've read many books about Australia but I havent been there, but I've heard tha-,"

"Hermione please dont bore her to death already," A male voice said behind the two girls. Jessica turned around to see a boy, around her age, he had flaming orange hair, that readed down to his jaw, freckles on his cheeks and he was wearing old worn out robes.

"Ron Weasley," Ron said shaking Jessica's hand, in a slightly excited manor.

"Jessica Williams," Jessica Replied, smiling.

"Its nice to meet you Jessica." Ron said.

"Call me Jess," she said, twirling her hair and flipping it over one side.

Ron blushed slightly and scratched the back of his head, "H-have you met my friend Harry ?" Ron asked, pulling another boy into view.

The new boy had jet black hair, small round glasses and bright green eyes.

"Harry Potter ?" Jessica asked, standing up, "Are you Harry Potter?"

"Y-yes" Harry said, looking down at the girl. Harry was different to Ron and much better looking, he was about 5 foot 7, quite lean but his arms and torso looked firm.

"Its great to meet you, Harry." She said bowing, "Would you and Ron like to sit with us ?"

"Yes! That would be great!" Ron butted in, taking a seat next to Jessica. Jessica noticed that Tanuja had moved moved down a couple of seats, talking to some other Gryffindor members.

"So Jess, where did you live in Australia ?" Ron asked, before shoving some potatoe into his mouth.

"In a small town in Perth, It is not far from the ocean actually," Jessica replied, cutting up her ham.

"Whats it like in Australia?" Hermione asked.

"Well its very hot in the summer, but its not that different from England, except the fact I live in a straw hut and ride in a Kangaroo's pouch"

"Really ?!" Ron and Hermione asked, shocked.

"No I'm just joking," Jessica giggled,"We have houses, cars and buses, just like you do."

"What are the magical schools like there ?" Hermione shot another question at her new friend.

"Well since i was about 10 I attended a Muggle school, different to any school you could ever imagine, I wasnt used to the fact I couldnt pull out my wand, or do any magic."

"That would be so wierd, I havent really hung around many muggles at a time," Ron confessed, piling more food into his mouth.

"I was wondering if you could tell me what classes you normally have." Jessica asked, playing with her food with her fork.

"Well usually, we have Transfiguraton with McGonagall, Herbology with Sprout, Divination with Trelawney, Care of Magical creatues with Hagrid who is also the key keeper at Hogwarts, Defence against the Dark arts with a new teacher Professor Alancer and then.."

"and then what ?" Jessica asked.

'Potions.."

"Oh, potions is one of my favourite subjects!" Jessica said happily.

"Not anymore.." Ron sighed.

"W-what ? why ?" Jessica said, puzzled.

"The teacher is proffessor Snape.."

"Snape?"

"Yes.. He's completely evil, has no heart at all, that man.."

"Oh.. I used to have a teacher at my school, hope this professor Snape doest end up having the same fate.."

"What happened to your teacher,"

"A student turned her into a frog and threw her in a dirty pond out in the middle of nowhere," Jessica grinned.

Jessica got to know a lot of new people that night, they were all extremely friendly and helped her with her every need. She met Ron's older twin brothers Fred and George who tried to bargin her into buying their famous "Puking Pastels" and his younger sister Ginny who shared many of the same Interests as Tanuja, Ginny reminded her alot of Tanuja. She and Harry got along really well, they discussed life before they knew about their powers, Jessica made sure not to mention about her muggle mother and sisters. Harry and her shared how much they missed their fathers and Jessica secretly felt sorry for him because Harry didnt get to spend hardly any time with both his mother and father. That night after the feast had finished, Jessica was taken back to the Gryffindor dorms to have a rest. The trip to the dorms was amazing, she was able to see staicases that moved by themselves, Potraits that talked to you as you passed by and see and meet many ghosts which were wondering around aimlessly. When she and the other Gryffindor members arrives at their dorm, there was a large painting of a fat lady, blocking the way. She soon found out that the potrait was like a guard, to enter the dorms you needed the password which changed every year. The Gryffindor dorm also had a large common room, which had chairs, tables and a nice large fire place. There were quite alot of dorm rooms, different sections for girls and boys and a group of beds in each for each year of students. Jessica luckily was staying in a room with some girls that she had already met which included Hermione granger and Parvati Patil and to her advantage Tanuja. Their suitcases had been placed at the bottom of their beds, their pets looked like they had been waiting eagerly for their masters return. Jessica had a nice warm shower then chucked her pajamas on. She opened the cage door to give yami a quick pet and give him some fruit, nuts and water, then she climbed into bed and started to doze off. The last thing she could remember before falling asleep was seeing that strange black haired teacher in her head giving her that same stern look.

The next day went quicker then Jessica and Tanuja had ever anticipated. Jessica was waken up by Hermione who was already in her robes, she rushed to have a quick shower and change into her new school uniform, which suprisingly had already been washed and cleaned.

"Hermione, what do we have first ?" Jessica asked, whilst brushing her long dark hair.

"Transfiguration," Hermions said, grabbing her textbooks.

"Nuji, you ready ?" Jessica asked her friend who was lying on her bed.

"I've been waiting have an hour for you to do your hair." She replied.

Jessica rolled her eyes and Hermione giggled slightly.

Jessica, Hermione and Tanuja travelled down for a quick bite to eat and then carried on to their transfiguration class, Hermione said it was always good to be early, it helps the teacher to think your "Responsible and Reliable". The three girls enetered the empty classroom, Proffessor McGonagall was already sitting at her desk, flicking through some pieces of parchment. "Good morning girls," she said looking up at her students.

"Good morning Proffessor." the three said in unison.

"It is nice to see you taking care of our new students Miss Granger,"

Hermione smiled at her teacher's compliment, Jessica had already discovered that she was quite the teacher's pet.

The three girls waited for the other students to arrive, Hermione gave them some study pointers and other advice on writing down notes. The Transfiguration class was to Jessica was great, she was able to learn alot of new things. In the class they were working on how to change their quills into normal human pencils, Jessica and Tanuja were abe to get it right with a few tries. Hermione was very good at hands on spells and got the spell after her second try. Tanuja and Jessica learnt that McGonagall infact was an extremely nice person, she was strict but only when she needed to be. Ronald found it difficullt to make the spell work and a boy named Seamus Finnigan blew up his Quill and had to borrow another one from McGonagall who was shaking her head.

The next class was one that apparently that Harry, Ron and Hermione were dreading. Potions, Jessica herself didnt understand why this was so but infact it wouldnt take her long to see from their point of view. This class was alot different from Transfiguration, for one it was dark and had a depressing feel and the fact that it was in a dungeon probably didnt help either. Students sat down at benches, with tables that stretched from one sid of the room to the other. the class was quiet except for the chattihg from the students. Jessica turned to Tanuja who was sitting with Pavati and her sister Padma. Jessica had Ron and Hermione sitting on either side of her, harry was sitting on the far left, flicking through his book. Jessica was looking at her small cauldron, sliding her fingertips along the smooth brass surface.

"I wonder why Snape is so late.." Harry Muttered.

"Probably just fixing his hair.." Ron grinned.

"Silence.." a calm voice said at the back of the class.

"Here comes the bride.." Ron said silently under his breath.

Footsteps could be heard from behind them, coming closer and closer, until they stoped right behind Jessica's bench. Jessica slowly turned her head around to get a better view, shocked at what she saw. It was the teacher that was staring at her yesterday, at dinner.

"My apologies for being late," he murmured.

Jessica couldnt help it, she couldnt take her eyes away from his. He was an older man of course, probably about 35 to 38. He had greasy, shoulder length black hair, his nose was slightly hooked yet his features were pale and sharp. His coal black eyes looked as if they could see right through you.

"Your name ?" He asked.

Though Jessica was slightly dazed she heard his words clearly. "J-Jessica Williams," she stuttered, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

"And you are from Australia correct ?" He asked, his eyes looking up and down her body.

"Thats right," she blushed, looking down.

"Hmm" he mummbled that walked to the front of the classroom to put his books down.

He looked down at his table and then picked up a black shiny book, "Chapter 3, quickly."

The class moved swiflty and silently, flicking through the pages to come across chapter 3 in the potions book "Magical Drafts and Potions" by Arsenius Jigger.

The title said "Bludger Potion". Jessica covered her mouth instantly, from trying to stop herself from laughing, she looked down at Tanuja who was making a strange face at her whilst mouthing the words "What the Fuck ?".

"B-Bludger?? Whats a Bludger?" Jessica asked Ron.

Ron shrugged his shoulders, "Harry whats a Bludger?"

Harry looked at Ron then at Jessica, "I havent got a clue,"

The class was silent, Jessica kept her head in her book, trying to memorise the method of conjuring the Bludger potion. Every once in a while she would glance at Snape but then stopped when she glanced and he was already looking at her.

"Okay i think i have it, Jessica whispered, "Brew the Beetles eyes in hot water first, okay, pass me some beetle eyes Ron."

"Uhh.."

"Ron whats wrong ?" Jessica asked.

"Ron wasted the last of the beetle eyes throwing them at Seamus.." Harry sighed.

"Ohh..", Jessica said, thinking for a second," Thats okay just ask that boy next to you for some," She said pointing to the boy in the next table over.

"Oh no no no no no," Run said, "You dont want to do that, trust me,"

"Why ?"

"Thats not just any boy, thats Malfoy.."

"Well I dont care who he is, we need those ingrediants," Jessica said, standing up from her seat and walking over to the next table.

When she reached her destination, the boy at the front looked up at her. He had snowy blonde hair, pale skin and cold grey eyes, he was wearing a green tie meaning he was from Slytherin.

"I'm sorry to bother you, i was just wondering if i could have some of your Beetle eyes, were out," Jessica smiled.

"Here," The boy gave the bag to Jessica with no trouble.

She was about to walk off when a hand grabbed her wrist, the fingers were icey against her warm skin "I'm Draco Malfoy by the way." He grinned.

"Jessica Williams, nice to meet you Draco, Thankyou," Jessica said before she walked back to her table.

Ron was gaping and Harry looked shocked."What ?" Jessica asked, when she got back to her own table.

"I cant belive you did that.." Ron said, rubbing his nose.

"Oh come on, he was pretty nice," Jessica grinned.

"Hahaha, nice joke.. your kidding me right ?" Ron asked.

"Malfoy is probably the worst li-"

"Weasley, Potter and New friend, would you please care to shut up," Snape said from the front of the class.

Jessica and Harry were busy boiling the Beetle eyes until Ron yelped..

"What??" Jessica asked.

"Spider!" Ron said, moving away from the bench.

"Where ?!" Jessica asked, searching her books.

She lifted up her Potions book and there is was, a huge spider and it was HUGE! about the size of Ronald's palm.

Jessica screamed, and fell backwards from her bench.

The rest of the class jumped at her scream, Snape pushed his chair backwards and made his way to the back of the class quickly.

"Whats going on here?!" He growled.

Jessica who was on the floor, only her legs hanging onto the back on the bench, looked up at a very angry Snape. "I-"

"Jessica!! Its on you!" Ron screached.

"Get it off!!" She yelled.

The spider was making its way towards her face, on her thigh, girls in the class were screaming, boy were laughing. Harry tried to push back a smile.

"What you think this is funny ?!" she growled at Harry, who covered his smiling mouth.

"Dont worry Jessica it's not poisonus," Hermione said calmy.

"Oh thanks Hermione, I'll remember that after it bites me!!"

"Its climbing up!!" a boy from the from the next bench over yelled.

"I swear to god if some one doesnt get this thing off me!!" Jessica screamed, as it quickly climbed up her upper thigh, the spider clung clung onto her robes and revealed a small bit of her stomach, its hairy legs brushing against her bare flesh. A warm hand grabbed the spider, but remanined on her stomach.

"Potter, Weasley and Miss Williams will stay after class." he said before crushing the spider within his hand and throwing the remains next to Jessica's face.

Harry and Ron pulled Jessica back into her seat. "Thanks for pulling the spider off me guys," she said sarcastically.

"Sorry.. I panicked.." Run whispered.

Jessica looked down at Tanuja who was shaking her had in a sarcastic manner, Jessica didnt hesitate and gave her the rude finger.

"Ahem.." Snape coughed, looking up at Jessica, who looked down and said nothing.

The rest of the lesson was quiet, no one dared to talk because Snape was in a bad enough mood. The students had finished making the Bludger potion which was unsuccessful for Harry, Jessica and Ron who's cauldren had tipped over when Jessica fell off her bench. Jessica looked like she was just flipping through her notebook, but on the inside she was panicking.

"Man.. How could i get myself in trouble on my first day." She thought to herself.

The bell run rang, the students lept up from their seats eager to exit the earie class room. Jessica, Harry and Ron stayed in their seats, looking guilty and anxious. The boy named Malfoy passed Jessica, who was looking up at him and gave her a grin, she blushed. "He's pretty cute" Jessica thought.

In little time all the students had left and only three were remaining.

Snape creeped up to their bench, and looked at Harry, Ron and then at Jessica.

"Well, Well, looks like we have a new member to add to the trouble list," Snape said, with the biggest smirk on his face.

The students said nothing.

"Miss Williams, you know well enough of common sense, do you not ?" Snape asked, his hands on the able, right in front of her.

"Y-yes.." she stuttered.

"Well it's obvious that you need to pick up on your manners, I do not know what they teach you in Australia but here the first thing we expect is manners.." He growled.

She nodded and kept silence.

"Potter..Weasley, back to cause another year of trouble are we.." Snape asked, his question directed at the two boys on either side of her.

"No sir," they replied in unison.

"Then why do you continue to do so ?" he said, glaring daggers at the two boys.

The boys were quiet, "I will give you a warning just this once Miss Williams but as for you two, pathetic excuses for wizards, your strikes have been worn out, Lunch time detention today."

"Sir thats not-" Ron blurted out,

"Silence, do you wish for me to add to that ?," Snape asked, straighting his posture from leaning against the desk, he was about to walk away when Jessica spoke up.

"Sir, wait!" She called out.

Snape turned around and looked at her, "Yes?"

"It was my fault, If I wasnt so immature and had faced the problem with another approach, a big commotion wouldnt have been caused."

Ron looked at Jessica seriously. She gave him a look back and nodded.

"I think I should stay in for detention alone, Your right, I'm 15 not a 5 year old, I should be more mature."

Snape raised his brow and grinned, "Very well, Detention for you at Lunch, you shall meet me here"

And with that Snape had left the room. Jessica picked up her books and stood up, Harry grabbed her wrist, "You didnt need to do that.." He said.

"Dont worry about it, I'm sure it wont be that bad," She smiled.

"How can you be happy about this ?!" Ron asked, as the three walked through the corrider to their next class.

"Well as you guys said you dont really enjoy his company but as for me I dont know what I'm in for," Jessica grinned," besides, me and Professor Snape might turrn out to be the best of friends,"

"Not bloody likely," Ron replied.

"Dont worry Ron, I'll be okay"

Hope you liked it, I hope i did Snape well enough in character, though it isnt very hard to imagine what he would do and say.

PLease Review suggestions or opinions.
