She started over in the Slytherin table first. In ten minutes or so she moved onto the Ravenclaw-yes I finally figured out that that was the Ravenclaws table not the Hufflepuffs for sure so shut-up-10 minutes after onto the Hufflepuffs.
Finally, and stress on finally, she made it to our table. By then I was a bundle of nerves. The three girls were sitting pretty quietly next to me. Remus Lupin and Pe…the other boy had come in not long after Black and Potter I think, but I hadn't noticed them.
She started down our table. When I got mine I found out that all of my classes would be with the other first year Gryffindors. Oh yeah! (note the sarcasm)
"Wow." Potter said from next to me also looking at my schedule. "We have all the same classes!" Good job moron.
"Yep." I said heavily turning to my toast and contemplating it moodily.
"We'll be great friends by the end of the year!" Black said enthusiastically.
"I'm sure." I said quietly sarcastic. I looked up to meet Mary's eyes who were watching me.
"We might be." She pointed out so no one else could hear. I smiled at her.
"Definitely, though I'm not sure that that will take all year." I pointed out smiling widely at her. I longed to compare my schedule with Sev…but at least in the classes without him I'd have her. 'M &M.' I don't know where that cam from but it made me smile again, 'An M&M with unknown insides.' I expected chocolate. Though, maybe a few different kinds of it, but still just chocolate…not a nut too. No, not that way either! Geez!
I glanced at the other two girls. I still didn't know about them…maybe eventually...I had a feeling M&M would be a friends all around, with all of us that is…but definitely mine. For me, for me she'd be my special friend.
I glanced at my watch and stood up. "We should probably go and try to find our first class. They should give direction on these things." I added as I picked up my stuff. "Does any one have any idea how to get there?"
Blank stares…wow, aren't they helpful. "Well come on." I said-looking at M&M but the boys(groan) and the other two girls followed me too. I walked up the table looking for the Prefect that had brought us to our dormitory's last night.
Eventually I spotted the girl. "Um, excuse me." I said after she finished her sentence to her friend. She blinked at us, obviously not so intelligent…at least not in the morning….that really wasn't a very nice thing to say….think…crap she's looking at me…well duh I just said something to her! Right…getting totally off track here…ya know I think she just realized that she is pretty much surrounded by first years on all sides…ya you should be scared! Murderous glare…just kidding…wish I could…wow I really can off track fast…back to her now.
She looked at me again after looking around and seeing that she was totally surrounded-we've got you now! Eh hem…moving on. Then she gave me that repulsive 'awe the little girl wants to talk to me' look. Ugh. "We were wondering how to get to Transfiguration."
"It's kind of complicated." Well I still have to get there so get to the POINT! I'm not like two! Or stupid! Or whatever your annoying little brain is thinking! Oooook, passing on… "How about I write it down for you?" And without waiting for an answer-probably good because at this point it probably would have been quite snotty…aren't I just a precious little kid? (A/N: My precccious! Hehehe, gollum cough gollum…ooook moving on…) I stood there waiting, I probably looked pathetic to them…eh, who cares I'm plotting their murders…oooook I'm just in a crappy mood right now people! Wait…who are these people I'm talking to??? Can they respond back??? Will you talk back???
Silence…
Silence…
Silence…
Ya know….first of all I'm bored….second of all I've waited long enough obviously they aren't going to res-"Here you go." WOW! (Jumps out of personal mind space and is startled in the extreme.) Oh right, directions to class. (Feeling sheepishly stupid now…) God I hate that freaking kid smile! 'Be polite now.' Oh for freaking god's sakes shut-it!
"Thank-you." I doubt even Sev would hear the….badness in that. Go me! Everyone else chorused thank-you after me and we turned as a group-'I wonder how long this will go on.' I walked to the door, the group that was on the other-side of the table joined up with ours.
I walked out eh door and stopped in the hallway. It might help to actually read the directions, so I stopped and began reading the directions:
1. Turn left after leaving the GH
2. Walk up the first flight of stairs in front of you (what am I seriously that stupid!?!?! Where else would I go? Outside?!?!?! Ok losing the point…)
3. Turn right and go down one corridor
4. Where the corridor turns follow down to the 1st doorway
5. Go through the door(no why don't I just stand there? Wow, I'm feel sarcastically evil today aren't I? Yes, yes I am.) and up those stairs(of course there would be stairs BEHIND A FREAKING DOORWAY!!!)
6. Turn left, go down one corridor
7. Third door on the left in the 2nd corridor
Ok, yes that was complicated and I'm glad I got it wrote down! Happy now?!?! Just shut-up ok? Wow, now I'm like two people!?!?! Or am I saying this aloud….silence…thank-god I'm not…I don't need to sound crazier than I already am.
Checking M&M was seeing me I set off. 'Up the stairs, corridor, turn, door, stairs, left, one, two, three.' I stopped-panting slightly-and looked at the door. On its little sign it said; Professor McGonagall and under her name, Transfiguration.
"Here we are." I stopped, ok so we're here. Now what?
"Now what?" Ugh, already hate them…maybe that's to strong a word…
"What, what, what!?!?!" Nope, that's a perfect word. I walked up to the door and pushed. It didn't open, so I knocked-I mean come on it was worth a try and I would look sooooo stupid if it had been open and I hadn't tried it! Yes I've done that before, shut-up….well no answer. Crap, now freaking what?
"We wait." I answered-myself and Black sadly, I turned from the door and took M&M's hand. I led her to the left side of the door-so if it opened we wouldn't be crushed….yes that has also happened to me. Damn doors.
Soon everyone was sitting. A line of first years sitting in a hallway next to Transfiguration, waiting patiently…well, some of us were.
"This is boring." Potter announced for the 4th time now.
"Extremely so." Black answered, as he had for the last 4 times…in the last two freaking minutes!
"Shut-up!" I finally yelled, I had cracked. But really you could hardly blame me. "If you're bored occupy yourselves." That could be very potentially dangerous, I thought so I added." In a not annoying, dangerous, or loud manner." Potter pouted-Hehehe alliteration! I love that word! I don't think I could spell that word if my life depending on it! Hehehe!
"But then there is nothing fun to do." He said, Black was nodding behind him. I hope he cracks his head on the wall behind him.
"Write notes to each other." I suggested. They perked up almost immediately and dug in their bags.
I just knew that brilliant idea had to come and bite me in the butt. No not literally…yet…I'm not even going to think about where that thought would be going… See now M&M and I were reading and the other girls were chatting quietly at the other end of the line.
Consequence: quills are officially extremely annoying! So are random bursts of extremely loud and bark like-in one case-laughter. At least Lupin's laugh was quiet and cute. Pe…I seriously don't have any idea what that kids name is! Well, he had a squeaking screechy laugh, Black bark like, and Potter…well his is ok but it's extremely LOUD! Ah well, at least it's almost time for class. Maybe, just maybe, they'll shut-up then. I bet McGonagall can do it…it she can't…well then no one can and I'm in deep shit! As my wonderful mother one-more than once but that's not really the point-said.
Crap, homesickness. Ok, think of something else….nothing else is coming to mind!
"HAHAHAHA!!!" Bark like laugh to the rescue! Black to the rescue! Then I started laughing too, imagine that! Black to the rescue!
Oops, now I'm laughing alone. "What?" I asked Black, still grinning despite who I was talking too.
"Wow."
"What?" I asked curious as to what made him sound so confused.
"You can laugh." He told me. Like duh, I just was.
"Of course." I giggled, I'm just in that mood now, crappy mood just left for some reason…thank god I hate that mood….oh right Black… "I mean I do have a voice box."
"Which is…what?"
"You don't know what a-never mind!" I laughed again. "You're slow." He looked even more confused, he's so funny! Mostly when he doesn't mean to be…
"Is that a complement?" That made me laugh so hard that I had tears coming out of my eyes and in the end I could barely breathe.
Then, of course, the Professor walks up. Ah man! Does this always have to happen to me!?!?
That was a RETHORICAL QUESTION!!!
