The Summary: .......
The Rising
"Holy cricket, this teacher sure knows how to scare his students" Jay murmured his eyes darting on the many jars of heads in the dark dungeon room.
I nodded, "Ole Snape must hate his students"
"And WE are about to change that" Jay grinned, as Ginny snorted.
"What?" Jay irritably muttered.
"Don't even try talking to Snape, he hates Gryffindor the most" Ginny stated.
"That makes it even more interesting" I replied sitting taking a seat in the front of the room. Ginny let a big angry cry, "You guys are so stubborn, fine! When Snape gets here-ohhhhh! Go lose points for Gryffindor!"
She stalked angrily to join the Gryffindors at the back of the room.
Jay shook his head, "She's definitely mad if you ask me" he sat besides me taking out his Potions' ingredients with pure eagerness.
"Hmmm, hey-!" I cried out in surprise, as some idiot (If you ask me) knocked me over, with his stupid cauldron of his.
"Watch it!" a cold voice shot back.
I spun to face that jerk.
I found myself face to face with a handsome boy's scowling face. His hair was jet-back, neatly combed, his eyes ice-blue. "Who do you think you are?" I tried to calm myself.
The boy sneered, "You the new transfer student? Are you stupid or something, why aren't sitting in the back with all those other Gryffindors?"
"What are you going to do about it?" Jay loudly shouted, his eyes narrowing.
"Ah, you're Sikem huh? The famous Sikem....I'm sure you know me?" the pretty boy glared at Jay.
Jay frowned, "How the hell should I know?"
"My name's Richard.....(He paused purposely), Richard Malbrige?"
I scowled, "We-", I stopped staring at the gaping face of Jay.
Jay's face was frozen his mouth opening and closing wordlessly.
"I guess, I refreshed your dull mind" Richard briskly sneered. Without another word, he motioned for his friends, and found seats across our own.
"You-you know him?" I hesitantly asked, still frowning at Richard who was busy talking with his friends.
Jay turned to me, still refusing to talk, his face bright red.
At last he spoke, "I hate that guy"
Not knowing what to say, I awkwardly patted his shoulder, as he buried his face in his hands.
"Now, are you going to join us?" Ginny's extremely annoying voice asked. She was standing before us her eyes blazing. "Snape's coming any minute"
"No" I muttered furiously.
Ginny rolled her eyes, "Just don't fight with Slytherin here, Snape favors them", she walked slowly back to her seat again.
I muttered angrily to myself. This was not my day.
"Miss Weasley, I would appreciate you to stop your bickering, it is disturbing my class. Five points from Gryffindor." a cold silky voice snapped.
I turned to see the same ugly greasy-man I had seen during the Sorting. I did not like him the first sight.
Ginny's face grew the same color as her hair as Professor Snape quickly walked towards the front of the classroom, to the teacher's table, which was in front of my desk.
Cursing blindly at Ginny and my own stubbornness, I wondered why I had decided to sit here in the first place.
I turned to look at Jay who obviously had gotten over Richard's name, he looked awkwardly at the teacher.
Droning out Snape's voice (He was calling out the attendance), I stared at one of his jars illuminating the darkness, wondering if that was a crab or a turtle inside there. Maybe both.
"Black, James"
I looked up, "Present, sir" and went back into day-dreaming, wondering what would happen if I broke that jar.
Something broke my day-dream,....it was the silence. I hastily looked up.
"You seem very interested in my little collection there, Mister Black" I looked into Snape's eyes glittering, wondering if his face could get any uglier, "Perhaps you would like to pay more attention to what I have been saying-Thirty points from Gryffindor"
If I thought that my day was worse, I was wrong, my day was hell.
"That's not fair!" Jay cried out, standing.
If I thought that Snape's face was ugly, I was wrong, his face was too ugly for "ugly".
Snape's smirk vanished instantly, "Fifty-points"
That shut Jay up, his face defeated, his butt on his seat.
Snape continued to look at me, his face contorted with something like; hate, disgust, loathe, despise, and of course did I mention detest?
Well, I was plenty angry myself, although I did not have the courage to look at the poor ugly face of Professor Snape.
Wishing he would just continue with the stupid attendance, I scowled.
Unfortunately, he did not, "May I ask what school you had attended before, mister Black?"(No you may not, I furiously thought)
Biting down my anger, "The School of Wizardry,...sir"
Snape smirked, his lips twisted, "Ah, the School of Wizardry-never heard of it, although I'm sure that they have taught you a few manners- and hopefully a few things of magic- (Richard snorted, my face reddened), no doubt" he paused, "you are a poor student"
I don't know if it was Snape's little speech or Richard's laugh, but I fumed, he wasn't going to tell me these things and get away with it.
I looked away, ashamed, my face burning, trying to drown out the sniggering of the Slytherin gang. It was best not argue with the teacher right now, surely he will want to round up more points from Gryffindor.
However, Jay did things without thinking.
Jay stood up again this time his hands curled into fists, I stood up with him trying to get him to sit down.
Snape's eyes flashed, as I forced Jay down.
"Detention for you Mister Sikem, I am pretty sure that your dear father will not be able to get you out of this," Snape spat, "As for you mister Black you have caused the whole Gryffindor class to stay another period of Potions, working" (I heard Ginny groan louder than anyone else, somehow in the back)
Okay, perhaps I was mistaken, Snape was a git, and a- something that we are not permitted to say in schools. The whole class was horrible, I would rather do my essay work for Professor Picklewood than to see that oily professor. Jay was indeed furious with Snape for the whole day after the assignment of his detention. In fact, I caught him scribbling a lot of nasty words the whole day. I helped. Ginny acted as annoying (Her I-told- you-so attitude did not help) as ever, Jay refused to speak to her. If I thought everything about Hogwarts was just wonderful, I was wrong, it had Snape.
***
"Can't you get that through your thick-skull mister Sikem?" Jay bitterly imitated Snape's voice.
I was in a cranky mood, "Don't even try to act like him, before I knock your head by accident" I grumbled pounding on an invisible Snape.
Jay grunted, "I hate that -" saying a word that could earn another detention for a month.
I did not understand Snape's dislike for me. Indeed that professor hated everyone he saw, but the way he looked at me, I certainly knew he had a certain special amount of hatred in store for me, which quite got me angry.
I haven't done anything, that-
"James Black?" a fifth-year girl with curly brown hair came up to me, her eyes curious. I looked at her robes identifying her as a Gryffindor.
"Yeah, that's me" I tiredly mumbled.
She looked delighted, and held out a hand, "My name is Hermione Granger"
"Okay.....?" I shook her hand.
"Would you like to join S.P.E.W.? It's an organization that fights against house-elves enslavement-"
"Er-" Jay looked at her as if she was nutters.
Hermione stopped looking as stern as Professor McGonagall had looked when we transformed my hat into a horse....
"Actually, I came here because Professor Dumbledore has asked me to get you- he is waiting in his office, you may follow me" Hermione her brown eyes darkened.
"Er- alright" I replied, as she whirled about and walked down the staircase, halting and jumping over a trick step.
"I'm coming with you" Jay said
I nodded, hurrying to keep up with Hermione.
