Harry saw Sirius up at the teacher's table, sitting alone, looking over what seemed to be a schedule of some sort. Harry told his friends (and sister) that he would be back in a minute and he went over to say Hi to Sirius. "Hi Harry! It's been so long since I've seen you! How are things?" asked Sirius excitedly, "Oh, things are great, so far!" replied Harry just as excited, "So, I see you took the whole sister ordeal quite well? I personally didn't think it was such a good idea to announce it like that, but you seem to have handled it fine!" Harry and Sirius talked for a few minutes, until Dumbledore, and Professors McGonagall Snape, and Flitwick came in. "I'll see you in class!" said Sirius as Harry walked back to his table. As the morning went by, the Hall started to fill. Professor McGonagall came around with the new timetables;
MONDAY:
9:00 - Transfiguration
9:45 - Herbology
10:30 - Care of Magical Creatures
11:15 - Charms
LUNCH
1:00 - Defense Against the Dark Arts (1)
1:45 - Defense Against the Dark Arts (2)
2:30 - Potions (1)
3:15 - Potions (2)

"Yes!" said Harry as he read over his timetable, "We've got double Defense Against the Dark Arts, this afternoon!" Ron, Hermionie and Hailey checked their timetables too and were completely content, until Ron pointed something out, "Damn it! We have double Potions this afternoon, as well! AND we're still with the Slytherins!!!" They finished their breakfast and head up to Gryffindor tower to gather their school things. The fifth years were all gathered round McGonagall classroom, where they waited for her to arrive.

During their Transfiguration class, they did a small review session, where they took notes and turned matches into hairpins. The bell rang at 9:45, signaling the start of the next period. They had Herbology next, so they went downstairs and outside to the Greenhouses. They saw grubby little Professor Sprout waiting for them at Greenhouse 3, with the Hufflepuffs; they usually had herbology with the Hufflepuffs, they had for the past 3 or 4 years, in fact. They all gathered around the front of the greenhouse, where Professor Sprout stood. "This is called a Caladapadis. They are usually found in Eastern France, and are used in the making of a potion that is used to help get rid of Flu. Your job is to prune these plants of their unhealthy leaves, then snip off the stems. The stem is the part used in the potion. You are to wear you dragon hide gloves. They are poisonous to the touch." They worked the entire class on pruning and trimming the Caladapadis plants, then went across the grounds to Hagrid's hut for Care of Magical Creatures.

As they walked over the hill, classes going in to the castle and classes coming out, passed by Harry, Hailey, Ron, and Hermione; they all gave Hailey a weird sort of look, as if she wasn't human or something. Hailey didn't let this get to her though, she was to interested in her classes, seen as this was her first year ever going to school. "Hi Hagrid!" said the three of them, Hailey didn't know Hagrid yet, and decided to stay quiet, "This is Hailey!" said Harry, she stepped forward and shook Hagrid's massive hand, "Nice to meet you!" she said brightly, "It's nice ter meet yeh too, Hailey! So, how're yeh liking Hogwarts so far?" she told Hagrid all about the classes she'd had that morning, and how many new people she had met from other houses. They had an enjoyable morning, as they learned about new creatures called Kabblebrotts. They look like fuzzy crabs with gold spots. At 11:15, they headed back up to the castle for Charms, where they would be meeting one of their new Teachers-In-Training; Professor Jessica Fobert.

"Settle down class!" squeaked Professor Flitwick, from the top of his stack of books, "I would like you all to meet my assistant, Professor Fobert. She will be with us for the year, and will be teaching some of your lessons. Please give her a warm welcome!" she waved shyly to the class, as they all said hello and waved back at her. Like always, the Gryffindors were on the right side of the room and the Slytherins on the left. Flitwick had left the room for a few minutes, and Malfoy seemed to think that this was the chance to socialize. He started talking loudly to Crabbe, completely ignoring the revision notes they had to do, when Professor Fobert spoke, "Mr. Malfoy," she said quietly but with disapproval in her voice, "What have you been told about talking during class?" Malfoy stared back at her, "Some people are trying to work, so I am warning you now, talk again in this class and I assure you, you will not come back." She looked menacingly into Malfoy's pale eyes. Draco turned a slight pink color and went back to his work, when Professor Flitwick returned, "No problems?" he asked Professor Fobert. She looked at Malfoy, then back at Flitwick and said "Nothing I couldn't handle." The bell rang, yet again, and Harry, Hailey, Ron, and Hermionie went up to Gryffindor Tower to drop of their bags before lunch.
