Chapter 5.2

Harry watched his two best friends go off to find their classes. As they turned the corner Ron stumbled over his own feet and landed on the ground with a thud. He gave a small chuckle as Hermione berated the red head teen.

He glanced down at his schedule.

P.E.

Lunch

Biology 2

What is geometry? He scratched the back of his head in wonderment. He tried to recall from his previous muggle schooling what the subject was, but he continued to draw a blank. Frustrated he let out a sigh, secured his backpack onto his right shoulder and headed off in the direction in which he hoped would be the gym.

He found the building with little difficulty. It bright white letters were painted gym above the entrance. He shuffled his feet nervously before heading inside. The teacher was barking orders at the students as they did their warm ups. He slowly approached the teacher, and handed him the slip which the secretary in the office had told him the teachers had to sign. The teacher hastily signed the slip and looked Harry over.

The messy haired teenager stared at the teacher. The older man was eyeing him up. "Alright Mr. Potter, you can go ahead and sit on the bleachers for today. When they go (he nodded at the other students)- to go change come with us to the locker room and we will get you your clothes and locker. Welcome to first period P.E." He said with a little sneer. He handed Harry back his slip and walked to the other side of the gym.

Harry snorted. The teacher, he guessed had just passed his judgment, and apparently he did not qualify as an athlete. What would he say if he could see me on a broom? Harry thought dully as he headed to the open bleachers.

His next class went by horrible. They were already halfway through a subject Harry knew nothing about. The teacher, Mrs. Kemp, had called on Harry to figure out a problem on the bored. He not having idea how to solve it felt ashamed as the teacher gave him step by step instructions to figuring out the problem. Once finished he had hurriedly sat down in seat and had kept his head down for the rest of the lesson.

His next two classes went by without any problems, however; he did not look forward to the reading materials for English class. The lunch bell rang and Harry watched as his peers quickly gathered their belongings and rushed out of the class. He followed suit not wanting to get lost on his way to cafeteria. He gave a small nod to Ginny who came around the corner.

"So what do you think? I have no clue what any of the mu-teachers were talking about."

He smiled. She had almost said muggle. " P.E. and geometry are going to kill me before Voldemort does." She raised an eyebrow quizzically at him.

"Don't say his name." Harry heard Ron say through clenched teeth behind him. He turned around.

"Hey. Was your classes any better than mine?" He asked Ron Hermione.

"They are mental!" Ron exclaimed.

"Oh hush Ronald. They are going to be a little bit tough, but I'm sure if we can find someone to tutor us- me, then I will be able to help the three of you out." Hermione said quickly. She then smiled, "I just won't be able to do your homework for you especially with the extra classes we have at home." She shoved past Harry and Ginny to go and stand in the lunch line. The other three followed suit.

They got their food and sat down far away from their peers. "So my P.E. teacher reminds me of Snape." Harry said. Ron and Ginny flinched, and Hermione glanced up from her book.

"Think they could be related?" Ron asked honestly.

"Seriously Ron? Do you actually think Snape has relatives living in the states?" Hermione asked.

"Well, uh you never know." He argued back.

Harry looked over at Ginny who shrugged her shoulders, and continued to eat her food in silence. Thinking she had the right idea; he started to eat his own lunch as his two friends started to bicker like an old married couple. He let out a sigh in between bites of food hoping one of them would catch on. After the fifth sigh he gave up. Nothing was going to interrupt their new found spat.

"Hello Harry." He glanced up from his tray. The girl from the mall was standing at their table.

"Hi, Alice." He replied politely, "would you like to sit down?" He moved his hand toward the last open seat at the table.

"No thank you. I only can stay for a minute. I just wanted to say hi, and welcome you all Forks High." Her eyes went to all of Harry's friends. "I hope to see you all more. Bye!" She said happily. She waved her hand at them as she walked off. Harry looked puzzled, Ron had his eyebrows raised, Ginny was glaring daggers at Alice's retreating back, and Hermione had her nose in her book once more.

"She does give off that Loony Luna Lovegood vibe." Ron stated.

Ginny slapped him on the back of his head. "Quit insulting my friend, you git."

"Oi!" Ron said angrily at his little sister.

"At least it wasn't a bat-bogey." Hermione whispered.

Ron just glared across the table at her. "Yeah Ron." Ginny said.

The bell rang signaling it was time for sixth period. Harry grabbed his stuff, and placed his empty tray on top of the garbage. "See you guys after school." He said.

"Later." They replied as one.

Harry entered the classroom late. He had gotten lost on his way from the cafeteria. Felt stupid when the tardy bell rang, and had to ask a teacher monitoring the halls for directions. The teacher told him off for being out of class, but would not demerit him for his first offense. Harry had nodded his head and agreed that it would not happen again. The biology teacher had added his name to the roll, and having no open seats available placed him in the front of the class with two other students.

As he took his seat he couldn't help noticing a pale boy with auburn hair and honey colored eyes sitting three rows back. Harry felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. Something was off. Their seemed something familiar about him. He glanced at the girl sitting next to the boy. She was pale also, had dark brown hair, but her eyes were a normal color. The teacher cleared his throat, and Harry was forced to stop looking and face the front of the room.

"Hello, I'm Harry." He said quietly to the two lab partners he would have for the rest of the year.

"Hey" they both replied. The one closet to him introduced himself as Mark, and the girl was Carrie. They made small talk in between the teacher lecturing and showing slides from the projector. Harry had used a slytherin type of persuasion to find out who the boy and girl were. Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan. The class ended and Harry waited for both Edward and Bella, to walk by. When they did he stood up and walked behind them. He just couldn't put his finger onto whatever was puzzling him. He let out a small growl and walked faster to pass the two up. He would talk to Hermione about him later.

"What's his problem?" He heard Bella ask. He ground his teeth and walked into his next class.

The final bell rang. Harry made his way back to the front office where his friends were already waiting. He handed in his slip and went back out to them. The Grangers were in the parking lot. Everybody was already in the vehicle. Harry rushed to get into the van. He buckled up and looked at Hermione.

"Have you come across anybody in your class named Edward Cullen?" He asked her boldly.

She put her biology book down and glanced at Harry. "Yes, but-"

"What do you make of him?" He interrupted her.

"Humph! I will tell you later," she replied as her eyes glanced up at her parents. Then quietly she leaned over and whispered, "it will raise an alarm if anybody found out what he his. Funny Remus hasn't noticed the scent." She sat back up and returned to her book.

Harry let out a exasperated breath and folded his arms over his chess. "I guess I can wait." He muttered.
