Here is the next chapter of this story. I'm sorry it took so long, but I am currently very busy with school and couldn't finfd time to write. Enjoy!
Chapter 4
The next morning I wake up to the voice of Ginny. We sleep in the same dormitory and she is talking to one of the other girls. I look next to me, to the alarm clock. I jump out of bed when I realise it is very late. I quickly dress and run to the great hall. As I arrive there, I see it is packed full. Most of the students already arrived and the only free spot without having to sit in a group of older students is next to Ginny. And Neville. I slowly walk towards them. Behind me I hear Draco order younger students to move so he and his friends can sit. I wish I was in a position to do something like that, but unfortunately I'm the youngest in a group of people who appear to hate me. "Good morning, Ginny, Neville," I stand next to them and wait as Ginny is moving. I sit down and look up to the teachers' table. I see the black-haired professor looking simultaneously at me and Jesse. "Who is that?" I see a glimpse of fear on Neville's face. "That's Severus Snape, our potions professor." It is clear that Ginny doesn't like professor Snape either. "Yesterday, he caught Ron and Harry arriving at Hogwarts by flying car and hitting the Whomping Willow. Snape wanted to expell them, but luckily professor McGonagall got it down to a few weeks of detention-work in the office of professor Lockhart." I understand why professor Snape is feared. However I still do not understand why he keeps looking at Jesse. Then I remember what Jesse said; I'm Jesse Snape. All at once I see the link. Professor Snape, Jesse Snape, Jesse is his son. I don't know him, but I feel bad for him. I know what it is like to have family who makes you unpopular. Neville made me. I look over my shoulder to meet Draco's eyes. He is sitting next to Jesse and is clearly trying to make conversation. Draco looks desperately at me. I don't know how to help. Ginny taps on my shoulder. "What are you looking at?" "Oh, eh, nothing. Let's go to class. What do we have first?" We leave Neville behind with Ron, and Harry. They haven't stopped talking to the girl they sat with yesterday as well. I should remember to ask Ginny about her. "Potions," Ginny answers hesitatingly, looking over her shoulders to meet Snape's eyes.
We enter the classroom. I see Jesse in the back-right corner, as far away from his father as possible. I sit down next to Ginny, on the first row. We should have been earlier, so we could have sat further away. "Silence!" Immediately everyone stops talking and looks at the entering professor. He looks around the class, finds Jesse and starts his lesson. "We'll start easy today, open your books and brew the hiccupping potion of page ten. Make sure there is nothing in your pot before you start." We reach into our pots and when we find nothing we start reading the recipe. Suddenly Ginny whispers: "Look what I found in my pot." Under the table, she shows me a small book, like the ones I used to write my journals in. "Hide it, I don't think it will be any good if Snape finds out." Apparently Ginny shares my opinion as she quickly shoves it under her cloak and starts reading, too.
If you find any mistakes, please tell me so I can change it.
