Kelsey woke up early the next morning and saw Hermione running around the room frantically. "Oh good!
You're up! I got all your stuff ready I wanted to let you sleep as long as you could but I was just going to wake you up. Come on we've
got lessons to go to!" She told her.
"This early??" Kelsey whined sleepily. "Yes come on! Hurry up!!" Hermione replied. Kelsey groaned as she got dressed and the two girls walked
downstairs, reaching the common room at just the same time the boys. "Hey guys get enough sleep?" Ron asked. "Whatta you think?"
Kelsey replied sarcastically. Even though she only had a little eyeshadow and lip gloss on, and her hair was pulled into a messy bun,
she still looked pretty great.
"Well then this is not going to be your day" Ron continued. "I looked at our timetable and we have Double Potions with Slytherin first thing today."
"What's so bad about that?" asked Kelsey interested as she finally started to wake up. "Oh you'll see" mumbled Harry.
They walked and walked until they finally arrived at the dungeons and walked into the Potion's classroom. "You're late" Snape said to them in his usual
menacing tone. "10 points from Gryffindor" he said as he started to write instructions on the board.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Kelsey sat next to each other at the back of the classroom. As the Potions class went on Snape walked
around the room doing his usual routine, inspecting potions, taking off points from Gryffindor for Neville's mistakes, favouring the Slytherins.
He walked over to their table and began to make snide comments about how a failure their potions were, even Hermione's.
After working his way around the table he finally turned to Kelsey.
"Ah, Ms. Taylor is it?" he said to her as he tested her potion pausing only to watch her nod in reply.
"Perfect." he said surprised. "Very good Ms. Taylor" he said barely complimenting her.
He mumbled under his breath, "Finally a Gryffindor who understands the basics of potion making."
The class all looked over amazed that Snape would say something nice to someone other than a Slytherin.
"Whoa" Ron whispered to Kelsey. "He doesn't even do anything like that to Hermione!"
"Do what?" Kelsey asked annoyed that everyone was staring at her. "Snape never compliments anyone but a Slytherin,
they're his favourites" Ron said. Kelsey still looked like she didn't completely understand.
"Nevermind just wait 'til you've been around him long enough to actually know him" said Harry.
Snape glanced at the clock. "You may leave now class and make sure you write a
4 page essay on Chapter 2 in your Potions textbook.
Everyone groaned. "Hey Taylor" Malfoy said coolly as he walked up to them. "Great just what I need to make
my already horrible day even better" she mumbled to herself.
"How 'bout you and I get together some time" he said already expecting her to say yes
"I mean who wouldn't want to go with the great and handsome Draco Malfoy?" he had thought to himself earlier.
"How 'bout like, no?" Kelsey said. Malfoy was shocked but tried not to show it and just smirked, "of course,
I see these three have started to rub off on you" he said as he glanced at Hermione, Ron, and Harry
who were standing next to Kelsey and walked off.
"Well that's the first and last person to ask me out" Kelsey said. "Why?" Hermione asked.
"Who would want to go out with me I mean even if I was interesting enough no one really knows me.
You're all a tight group who all know each other and I'm American so I act different so I'll never fit in"
Kelsey said. She knew she was probably only saying this because she was having a bad day but she missed
California and all her old friends so she couldn't help it.
"I'm sure someone will ask you out! Why wouldn't they?" Hermione said. "I already told you why" Kelsey said.
Hermione glared at Harry and Ron giving them a look that said Hello! You two aren't helping very much!
"Someone will, you're really nice and easy to get along with" Harry said, even though it was true it was a lame excuse.
"Yes and you're really pretty. I mean you look better then all the other girls in this school" Ron said.
"Ron stop being so shallow" Hermione said obviously trying to be 'proper' about everything.
"Maybe someone will ask me out, I doubt it, but thanks for trying guys" Kelsey said a little happier.
You're up! I got all your stuff ready I wanted to let you sleep as long as you could but I was just going to wake you up. Come on we've
