It was 5:30 in the morning of the first day of classes. A dark figure could be seen coming out of the first year's girl's dorm room. Down the steps she went, once she reached the common room, she sat down in one of the soft, comfy couches near one corner of the room. A half hour latter, the sound of footsteps on the stairs alerted the girl that someone was coming.

"Are those comfy?" asked a girls voice.

"Ya."

"Your Hannah Potter, right?" Hannah nodded. "I'm Cassandra Vablatsky."

"Nice to meet you." Cassandra sat down next to Hannah.

"What are you doing up so early?"

"Couldn't sleep. I'm used to getting up early."

"Oh well, I couldn't sleep either."

The two girls had been talking for about an hour before someone interrupted them.

"Hanging out with mudbloods are we, Potter."

"What are you talking about Malfoy?"

"What! Don't you know a mudblood when you see one. Kind of like your father." Draco sneered. Hannah stood up, her fist clenched and pulled back as if to punch him. Cassandra stood up and put a restraining hand on her arm.

"Calm down Hannah. He ain't worth it." Draco, who had started to back up at first when he saw Hannah pull back her fist, had regained his self- assured smirk.

"You're right Cassandra, lets go get dressed and go up to breakfast." Hannah pushed past Draco, followed by Cassandra, and went up stairs. Leaving Draco to watch their retreating backs. *****

Cassandra and Hannah were sitting at the Slytherin table when Harry and his friend Ron came in. After sitting down at the Gryffindor table, Harry looked over at the two of them.

Good morning, Hannah. Who's your friend?

Good morning to you too. This is my friend Cassandra Vablatsky. Cas or Cassy for short.

Did you get your schedule yet? Just then a slip of paper was dropped in front of her onto the table.

Just did. Hannah looked at the slip of paper and then looked at Cassandra when the girl groaned.

"What's wrong?"

"We have double potions with the Gryffindors."

"So, my brother and his friends are in Gryffindor."

"But all Slytherin's hate Gryffindors."

"So, I'm not going to hate my brother and my friends, just because of the house they're in."

"Everyone in Slytherin would be against us." Cassy, stated, horror showing clearly on her face.

"They wouldn't dear do anything to me." Hannah's emerald green eyes turned cold.

"We better go Hannah. We have potions first." Hannah looked around and noticed that her brother had left already, along with most of the other Slytherins and Gryffindors.

"Can I finish eating first?"

"Hurry up then." Hannah wolfed down the rest of her breakfast.

"Done." The two girls gathered up their books and headed for the door.

"Do you know where the potions classroom is?"

"Uh. . ." Hannah said. Harry!

What? Came his suffering reply.

How do we get to the potions classroom? Harry told her, she set off, Cassandra following. They reached the classroom just in time to slip into the two empty seats at the back of the room, before Professor Severus Snape came striding in his black robes fanning out behind him as he 'walked' to the front of the room.. The door opening with such a force that it hit the wall and closed by itself with a residing bang. Snape scanned the room for any empty seats, seeing none he started his lesson.

"You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art if potion making. As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes."

Hannah and her brother, along with other Gryffindors, were all trying not to laugh at the expression on the Potions Master's face as he described the making of a potion.

"The delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the sense. I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death- that is if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach." Snape looked around the room, noticing the amused expressions on the Potter twins and some other students faces.

"Potter. What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"

"I don't know sir." Said the twins at the same time. He looked at them both.

"Ms. Potter, I was talking to Mr. Potter."

"Sorry Professor, maybe next time you could be more specific. I mean there are two Potter's here, not one." She said matter of factly, looking Snape straight in the eyes. He stared at her for a moment before turning to look at Harry.

"Let's try again. Potter, where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar?" Hermione still had her hand raised from when she had raised it for the first question.

"I don't know sir."

"Tis a pity. Ms. Potter." He said turning to face her once more. "What is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?"

"No clue, why don't you ask the Granger girl sitting behind Harry? She seems to know the answer." The students, Gryffindor and Slytherin alike were both surprised. Rumors from the older students, of both houses, told of how mean Snape was to the other houses and hw he favored his own house, but he did not tolerate being spoken back to in such a rude way by a student. It was unheard of.

"Ms. Potter if I wanted Ms. Granger to answer the question I would have asked her." Before he could go into a long lecture the bell rang. "You are dismissed." Without any further comment, Snape stormed out of the potions classroom. Outside the classroom, Hannah and Cassy met up with Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"I can't believe you did that. My brothers say he's the meanest, greasiest git that you could ever meet." Ron said, awe clearly heard in his voice.

"Ya, sis. That wasn't very bright. He is your Head of House."

"Yes, but if the rumors are true he won't do anything about it, because we're in his house." Said Cassy before Hannah could answer.

"I would love to stay and argue with you. But me and Cassy have Transfiguration and if I remember you, brother, have charms." Ron looked down at the watch he wore.

"Cripes, she's right. Come on Harry we're going to be late." Ron grabbed Harry's arm and started to drag him off.

"See ya latter." The two boys disappeared around the corner.

"Come on lets go." Cassy and Hannah took off running towards the charms classroom. *****
