CH3 ^* Classes, Snape and Boys*^
A/N: First things first, I want you all to know that the thing screwed up and that Cal is in Slytherin with Malfoy. This is a pretty long chapter compared to chapter 2. Oh, and I hope you like it! Once again, I don't own anything except Cal and Catty. I am back with more and I really really REALLY hope you enjoy it!
Cal woke up in her four poster bed with a start. She was a night person-- and she was a very heavy sleeper. She looked at the clock. It was already 10:00 A.M.! The alarm had rang, but she hadn't woken up just yet.
"O' god, I have Transfiguration right now! McGonagall will kill me!" Cal said angrily. "Why do I have to wake up so late and be such a heavy sleeper?!" Catty on the other hand, was a very light sleeper and she woke up VERY early.
First class in the morning, Transfiguration, was at 9:00 A.M. Cal didn't know how she could wake up at 7:00 in the morning, get up and get ready, go to the feast at 8:00 A.M., and get to class at 9:00. She pulled her robes on, stuffed some pumpkin pie that was on the common room table into her mouth, and ran to Transfiguration. They did Transfiguration with Gryffindor.
"Hello, Callafia!" Professor McGonagall said. "Now tell me where you were?"
"Uh, l-- I -- slept in!" Cal said, trying not to make it sound bad.
"Maybe I should Transfigure your wand into an alarm clock so you can be on time. Hmmmmm?"
"Uh, then how will I Transfigure things without my wand?" asked Cal innocently.
"Don't be smart with me. Now let's carry on. Yes Hermione?"
"Professor McGonagall, Neville transfigured his needle into a piece of coal instead of a centipede (from the corner of her eye, she saw Malfoy shoot her a smile, kind of a satisfied evil grin)."
"Mr. LongBottom, would you please speak for yourself, for I believe that Miss Granger is getting tired of speaking for you," McGonagall answered. Cal took her seat by Malfoy, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good excuse, Cal," Draco said, "I should try it myself. Those two boys, Harry and Ronald should use it too." Cal didn't understand what he meant until he jerked his head up towards the door.
Ronald and Harry were even later than Cal! They entered the room. Their hair was messed up and they were sweating (supposedly) because they had run. McGonagall transfigured herself into a cat and sat on her desk, waiting for someone to raise their hand.
"I would hate to see the look upon McGonagall's face if she saw us late," Ronald said. Just then, McGonagall transfigured herself back into a human. "That was bloody brilliant!" Ronald cried.
" I suppose I could transfigure Harry into a pocket watch so at least one of you could be on time," she said. Harry and Ron sat down by Hermione. On the other side of the room, Catty and Angel (Angel had been sorted into Gryffindor) glared at Draco and Cal. They glared back.
A/N: I know, I know. I took it from the movie. But it fits in better doesnt it?
As McGonagall whirled on, Cal took a good look at Harry. He was very cute; she had supposed she could like him since she didn't like- like Draco anymore. Draco was kind of her friend, but Harry was her crush. She couldn't let Draco know though because he didn't like Harry much.
As Cal stared at Harry, he caught her eye. He kind of smiled, but when he saw the Slytherin sign on her robes, he frowned and just stared. Suddenly, McGonagall called her name.
' Callifia? Do you know the answer to that?"
"The name's Cal," Cal said, trying to ignore the question.
"Alright Cal, now what was the answer?" Hermione Granger's hand shot up like a rocket.
"I don't know, but Hermione does know," she said, her voice a little nervous. "Could you repeat the question?"
** Later **
As Cal was walking down the corridor to Potions, she saw Harry, Ron and Hermione walking together. They stared at her for a long while , and she broke the contact. SHe was awfully jealous of Hermione; she wished she could walk with Harry like that. Gryffindor was with Slytherin for a lot of the classes, but not all of them. Cal followed them to Potions, where Professor Snape (head of the Slytherin House) taught the class. (DUH!)
From the corner of her eye, she saw Catty and Angel walking beside each other. Catty looked nervous. Cal could have guessed; Catty liked Harry as well! Catty shot a glare at Cal, and Cal glared back.
Cal did twin talk to her sister, by raising her eyebrows and twitching her nose meaning, 'Harry's mine.'
Catty did twin talk back. She stuck her tongue out and flared her nostrils. That meant, 'he doesn't like Slytherins. He told me himself.'
Cal didn't bother to "twin talk" back. She stared in front of her, and soon found herself inside the Potion's classroom.
Cal liked Snape because he was the head of the Slytherin house, her house. That day at Potions she realized how rude he was to Gryffindors. Especially to Harry! He did question Catty and Angel a couple of times, and neither of them knew what he was talking about. As this happened, Cal couldn't help but snicker.
"Miss Callifia?"
"Um-Professor, it's Cal." Snape kind of smiled, but Cal knew if Ronald had said that his name was Ron, he would have gotten in trouble.
"I would like to know what you were snickering about!" Snape turned around to see Draco's hand in the air. "Yes, Mister Malfoy?"
"Well, I say that Cal was snickering because I saw her mess up on her parchment and she most likely thought that it was a stupid mistake," Draco said sweetly.
"I see, Malfoy. I am guessing you can read minds now?" Snape asked. He liked Malfoy; and Cal could bet that he was joking with him.
"Actually, Professor, I do happen to have made a mistake on my parchment," Cal piped in, "and it was quite stupid."
"Alas. I see. Now back to work everyone!" Snape said curiously. "Cal, may I please speak to you after class?"
"Oooooooh," everyone in the class besides Draco hissed. Draco smiled his "I'm so impressed" smile. Cal couldn't help but smile back. Wait, she thought. Why am I smiling at him when I already like Harry? Cal finally succeeded in putting her mind back to potions. She couldn't help looking up from her parchment at Harry, and she found that Hermione was looking at him too. So was Catty. Harry had no idea that 3 girls were looking at him. He was whispering to himself something about Potions. Cal knew because of the way his eyebrows browed in concentration-the way he was moving his mouth, telling himself that he could figure this out. He finally looked up from his parchment and realized that 3 girls were staring at him. He mouthed to all of them at once, "What?" All at once, the 3 girls looked away. Catty and Hermione giggled.
'Catty is so lucky that she is in Harry's house,' thought Cal, her mind filling with jealousy. 'And Hermione too. Life is so unfair!'
Draco realized who she was staring at. Cal looked at Draco, and she could see his eyes fill with anger. 'I hope he doesn't have a crush on me,' Cal thought. 'I wish Harry did, but it will probably NEVER happen!'
Finally, Potions ended. Cal wanted to proceed to Charms so she could find a good spot and sit with Harry, but she needed to talk to Professor Snape.
"Professor?" Cal asked as she entered the empty classroom.
"Ah, Cal," Snape said. "I need to speak with you."
"Well, I am here!"
"Take a seat, Cal. You see, you really seem to be the type of girl to 'stare' at boys in class. You also seem to be the type that gets boys to speak for you. Am I right?"
"I didn't mean for that to happen!" Cal said hotly. Even though he was the head of the Slytherin house, she felt really embarrassed at the moment.
'Yes, yes, I know.' Snape could probably see the embarrassment in Cal's eyes. She turned away and looked at the floor. "Cal, I did not intend to hurt you. I definetly did not intend to embarrass you in front of the students when I said, 'Please see me after class.' I just wanted to get to know you better."
"But Professor-" Cal began, hesitating whether she should say what she wanted to or just keep quiet, "-I, well, I-you're the head of the Slytherin House!" She let it slip. "Why don't you 'get to know me' then?"
"Cal, Cal, Cal," Snape said cooly, "I wanted to know you and your Potions grade better. And I wanted to make a remark that I could not hold in."
"How come you didn't meet with the other kids yet?" Cal asked. "Oh, I'm sorry I even bothered you. Good-bye," she said, picked up her books and exited the classroom.
Cal couldn't hide her mixed feelings in Charms. Draco had saved her a seat, and she had written things like, 'Snape wants to know me better. What should I do?' and 'I am so embarrassed. Why did I act so rude to him?' all over her parchment.
"Cal, what did you do?" Draco asked, leaning over to see all the things she had scribbled on her parchment. "I bet you acted rude to Harry," he said. He smiled as he saw Cal's face turn a shade of red.
'He's a true Slytherin,' Cal thought. 'But he's my friend anyway.' "How do you know about that?" Cal demanded.
"Well, let's just say you were staring at him in Potions, instead of me!" Draco laughed. "How can anyone not look at me? I am so hot, that's why. You girls probably can't resist my hotness."
Cal glared at him, in a * ha ha, ha ha, sarcasm * look. Suddenly she burst into laughter. "Draco ! You're so funny! You expect girls to look at you! Ha ha ha!" One she had realized she was in Charms and that everyone was looking at her, she asked, "did I just say that aloud?"
