Alex was probably more irritated than anyone about having to deal with Slytherine's all day. They wouldn't know that though because she easily hid it not wanting anyone to dislike her for something that she had said unentenionally. On top of that the Slytherine's, she knew, would probably be the only ones who wouldn't hate her becasue of what her parents had done.
Alex flinched inperecptibaly. She still hadn't gotten around to sending her owl to her parents with the information, like her classes and if she makes the quittage team, and, most importantly, what house she was put in.
"You coming to Slughorn's class with us Alex?" James asked when he, Fred, and Mike got up to head to the classroom.
Her head jerked up and she realized most of the people had finished eating by now. "Yeah," she answered pushing her plate back and standing up, "Lets go I'd hate to get really bad seats and end up stuck next to idiots."
Everyone laughed and they started to head over to Slughorn's classroom.
When they got there everyone was still waiting outside the classroom. After everyone had arrived the doors flew open and everyone headed over to the seats that they wanted. Mike sat on the edge next to the isle, James sat next to him, and Alex next to James, while Fred sat on the other side of Alex.
Now everyone was starting to realize that though the doors had opened Professor Slughorn was not in the room. Everyone was now talking and whispering. "My dad said for the first few classes he had Professor Slughorn he made a competion out of making potions and the winner got a small bottel of luck fildus potion. It can make you lucky for an entire day." James whispered to the others. "My dad had even won."
Fred groaned, "Don't start acting all cool because your dad won, my Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermine told me about that and they said that your dad cheated useing Professor Snapes old book."
Alex and Mike started to laugh at the face that James made, "He did not cheat. There was writing in the book and it could have been tottally wrong but he took the risk and tried it and it so happened that it paid off it could have blown up in his face."
"Sure." Mike said sarcastically laughing.
"I totally have to agree with James," Alex said seriously, "It could have been worse but it so happened to turn out okay. It was a risk he took and it so happened that it paid off. You can't blame him for that can you?"
James waved his arms toword her dramatically. "See, she agree's with me can't you guys just admit that it's okay and we're right."
Before they could answer Professor Slughorn came bouncing in from the back door, "Welcome class I really hope that we have an amazing year in potions and that by the time you take your O.W.L.s you will be prepared." Professor Slughorn looked around the classroom and started grinning like a maniac, "I see we have some interesting faces in here, James Sirius Potter, Fred Weasley," Slughorn continued listing the kids of all the famous people from the war with Voldemort. As expected he completely skipped over the former Death Eater's kids, including Alex.
The class started and they brushed over what they would be learning for the year and why it was important. No body from wizarding families really listened because they had grew up listening to how important every class at this school would be.
Class ended quickly and everyone was pretty thankful that it was over. They weren't that lucky though because as they were leaving the classroom a few of the Slytherine students stopped them. "You're Malfoy's daughter."
Alex glared at them, "Yeah, and your point is?"
They didn't waver though, "The point is we're kind of dissappointed in you. Here we were so happy a Malfoy would be coming and then you turned out to be this huge disappointment, ending up in Gryffindor and all."
Alex rolled her eyes and she, James, Fred, and Mike left the classroom.
