Hey It's Insomnia Angel finally got off my lazy bum again(very, very lazy) and am writing well typing no no wait yeah writing the newest chapter to HPBSR! Woo I feel accomplished now.
Disclaimer: Warning I do not own Harry Potter J.K. Rowling does otherwise Dumbledore wouldn't dig young boys… Did I really just say that?
Last Time on Harry Potter-Black and the Sorcerer's Stone Redone:
My eyes showed hurt as I turned to my friends who looked questioningly at me only to wipe my face with my hand real quick and smile, smile to hide what was making me hurt right now that my best friend for life just ignored me, didn't say anything and like that just ran away from me.
Chapter 11 In a Hurry, What is it Harry?
Gloomily I walked on to the Great hall for lunch before the rest of the classes started. Draco and Hermione were giving me glances filled with concern for not acting like my usual exuberant self, but what could I tell them? My best friend that I had known practically all my life wouldn't talk to me let alone even look me in the eyes, but, but maybe it was just out of embarrassment? Yes that had to be it of course she was just shy or something seeing each other like that after being sorted into other houses and whatnot. Closing my eyes and letting out a long breath I looked up and grinned as I took in both Hermione and Draco er studying me, "Er guys not that I appreciate the attention but you know someone like little ol me might get the wrong intentions from how intently you are looking at me," I wistfully told them watching them blush as their head turned away from me like I was last Tuesday's mystery meat surprise… surprise.
"Harry well we were just worried about you is all you wouldn't say anything after Potions. In fact all you were doing was looking down at the floor like it would tell you the answer to the universe," Hermione tried explaining her voice conveying her worry enough for even me to tell she was worried that I was a bit of downer at the moment.
"Well don't get me wrong Hermione it's just I needed some time to think though I never thought the floor would know something like that maybe next time I should have a heart to heart with the floor it seems to know it all," well that got them to look at me with some amount of relief, well, as much relief as a friend of a few days could show.
"Right well come on we're running late for lunch and I'm sure that my stomach is not the only one about to enact a rebellion if I don't get food right now," course Draco would mention food, well can't blame him even I knew that food was what I wanted right now before I dealt with any other mishaps for the day.
-The Great Hall-
The everyday chatter of students filled the air with gossip and tales of bravery well brave like 'Hey look guys I went and skipped a rock three times at the giant squid' kind of brave… Come to think of it wouldn't that make you stupid, and if you are stupid wouldn't that make you less brave than what you were telling everybody and if so you infect others with stupidity and in turn they infect others till eventually everyone is stupid and only skip stones three times at a giant squid in a lake by the side of a castle where people are stupid? 'Woah did I just think like Professor Snape for a second there? *shiver* let's get away from those thoughts for now and on to the food! Stopping at the Ravenclaw table we all sat down and started to pile food onto our plates to fill up our empty fuel reserves and be able to function the rest of the day filled with wonderful learning on the impressionable young minds of students.
"So Draco what do you think of Professor Snape? He seems quite against dumb people coughRoncough," of course I wasn't expecting much seeing as this was only a way for me to get my mind off of any emo pre-teen angsty thoughts.
"Well I can't really say anything bad about him, well it helps that I can't because I've known him since well, as long as I can remember," Draco said his voice told me he really didn't want to talk all too much with the food in front of him looking more and more appetizing by the second. Well there went my attempt at trying to rid myself of the angst.
I just shrugged my shoulders and watched on as Draco seemed to pack away a nice tidy bit of food onto his plate while Hermione was using one hand to eat and the other to hold her book up so she could read. Turning to face my own plate I decided I might as well follow suit and put some food on my plate for myself.
Taking a bite out my food I glanced at the Slytherin table to try and see if I could spot the source of my troubles at the current moment, though it was getting hard to with such wonderful treacle tarts making their way to my mouth followed by gulps of pumpkin juice. Eventually I spotted Collette to see her trying to talk to a few of the other more "icy" individuals of Slytherin who seemed to not so much as mind that she was talking to them. Taking one last gulp of pumpkin juice I turned my attention back to me fellow housemates.
"So what class do we have next again?
Draco looked at me with a 'are you stupid' look as he proceeded to say, "I don't know maybe it might help if you bothered to look at your own schedule in your bag, but oh what's this," he rummaged through his bag and behold he pulled out the hand dandy, "our schedule well I'll be and looky here it even says Transfiguration is next, how exciting!" With that Draco grumbled a bit and turned back to his food while it was still there leaving me a bit well out of sorts, kinda.
Eating the last bit of food there was I gathered whatever wasn't already in my bag and took off following in foot with Draco and Hermione as we went on to our next great adventure where there was sure to be danger and peril maybe even a troll or two and maybe just maybe a dragon with a damsel in distress. Walking into the classroom with great anticipation I beheld the might of the mighty and fearsome dr-cat…
"Draco please tell me I'm not the only one that sees a cat sitting on the teacher's desk," I pleaded with him trying to shake the cat from my eyes.
"Well then we both must be hallucinating cause there is surely a cat that I too am seeing and it doesn't seem to be disappearing anytime in the near future , so yes, yes Harry I do see a cat," well looks like Draco and me aren't seeing things that was always a good sign.
"Hermione do you see it too or are you of the sort that don't always imagine things into existence like us two?" Hermione just shook her head and moved on to take a seat near the front taking the middle seat out of the three at the table.
Hermione looked back at us and proceeded to say, "Honestly you two does this kind of thing concern you so much, though, if I were you I would go ahead and sit there is no telling when the professor will be here and I for one do not want to break any of the rules on the first day of school let alone any day of school." Staring at her then back and the cat then back again at Hermione we both looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders as we took helped ourselves to a seat on either side of Hermione.
Looking around it looked like we had class today with the Gryffindors so no annoying Ron, for now. Hopefully 'did I just jinx myself somehow in some way that the fates will decide to make it so just to spite me today?'
Hearing a racket at the back of the room where the entrance to the classroom was my head swiveled around to see what made all that noise. Upon turning said head I beheld one Neville Longbottom with a Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnegan trying to amble into the classroom in a hurry as the timer on the teacher's desk went off for class to start.
Dean spoke up to the other two as they walked to the only unoccupied desk in the front of the classroom, "Well at least the teacher isn't here ye-" well he was going to finish speaking but as they made it up front wouldn't you know I mean I couldn't believe it but the cat turned into the teacher.
"Draco please tell me the cat didn't just turn into our teacher," I whispered to Draco only for him to hit his head on the desk as Hermione gave us a shush. Taking that as the Hermione's 'Shut up now' I looked back up front to see Neville and his friends get a lecture from Professor McGonagall for their tardiness.
Taking this time to reach in my bag and take out my transfiguration book and a notebook to take notes with I finally noticed that whatever lecture was going on was finally over with so it looked like we would all be able to get back to class. Professor McGonagall gave the class a stern look before she inquired from the class, "Now that Longbottom and his friends have been told the importance of showing up on time would anyone like to take a guess at the type of transfiguration I just preformed for you all?"
Noticing that nobody else was speaking up or even raising their hands I gingerly lifted my hand in the air 'curse you dad curse you to heck'. "Ah, yes Mr. Black if you would go ahead and proceed," McGonagall said causing everyone's eyes to land upon me.
Taking a gulp I replied, "It is best known as a type of self transfiguration where the user is called an Animagus for taking on the form of an animal. The form of animal all depends upon the witch or wizard and what traits they more or less lean to." Done with my answering I looked at the professor to see her nod her head in approval at my answer as she turned back to the rest of the class and vice versa for well the rest of us.
"Very good Mr. Black, now that will be not learned right now-insert collective groan from class- however once you get to at least sixth or even seventh depending on your progress eventually you will learn, now," Professor McGonagall began, "For your first year of Transfiguration you will start off with the basics we will start the next class off with the assignment that will be on this class syllabus for what we will do." Looking at the teacher's empty hand the next second there was a bundle of said syllabus she was speaking of. Nodding dumbly I couldn't help but think this class was going to rock.
-After Transfiguration class-
My headache just seemed to grow and grow by the second "I CAN'T WAIT DID YOU SEE WHAT WE WILL LEARN NEXT, I'M SO EXCITED. LOOK HARRY, DRACO!" Hermione continued to gush as Draco and I continued to suffer, such a cruel and unfair world to listen to that which gives us the headache. Why just why!
I turned suddenly right in front of Hermione causing her eyes to go wide as I stared at her straight in the eyes ,"Hermione… there is something I need to tell you, and I tell you this as a friend, but-" I suddenly pointed behind her and shouted, "HERMIONE IS THAT A ZOMBIE OVER THERE MAKING OUT WITH PROFESSOR SNAPE."
Hermione's head spun around shouting out "zombie loving" as Draco and I made our escape from the over exuberant Hermione. Well we attempted to escape only to turn the corner and almost run into Professor Dumbledore as Hermione was just behind us a second later. His eyes twinkled as he looked at us 'okkkaaayyy then weird' "Why hello there my young and cheerful students how are you three doing today? Not causing any mishaps are you?" Quickly shaking our heads no he chuckled as he sent us on our merry little way to our next introductory class.
"Draco please tell me he isn't always that… creepy is he? I mean I've talked to Professor Dumbledore when he's visited my house when my dad was there with me but that was just creepy as all bloody hell!" I waved my hands around to emphasize my point as Hermione glared at me and told me to watch my language.
"My father tends to tell me Professor Dumbledore has always been a bit barmy yet I guess you can be as barmy as you want when you have as much power as he does," Draco replied to my question. Well looks like there was definitely truth to that I know I would like to just cause chaos though if I had that much power. 'I wonder what pranks I could pull off like that mwuahahahah' my inner thoughts made myself even break in laughter which had Draco and Hermione give me the weird eye.
"Er Draco let's just say that we don't know him next time someone asks ok?" Hermione whispered to Draco while I continued my laugh of uhm I'll let you know when I know what to call it but when I do it will be so awesome that even Merlin would crap a brick with how awesome it would be.
Finished with my laughing and feeling in an overall better mood since I was ignored by Collette earlier I think I would be able to make it on with the rest of the day. Turning around yet another corner 'How many bloody corners are there in this bloody castle anyway?' I bumped into somebody soft and squishy rushing to apologize I sorta froze when I saw it was Collette who I bumped into.
"erm Hi Collette uhm sorry about bumping into you, are you okay?" I stammered out as best I could still not knowing if she was mad or what at me.
Staring at me she was about to open her mouth when Ron came around the corner next and opened his fat mouth, "Oh look it's Potter and Malfoy are they causing trouble for you Collette? Well you know what bloody sod off you gits!" Feeling like speaking wasn't going to get me anywhere I took one last glance at Collette who looked pissed off at Ron but hadn't said another word to me I sighed and motioned for Draco and Hermione to follow as we made our way past the bloody wanker and Collette.
Looks like life at Hogwarts was going to get more and more complicated with Ron around.
Well this is it for now Next time will be the end of the first day and well let's see what happens next time.
Insomnia over and out
