Chapter 2
Potions Class

Draco stormed down the hall to his first period class, Potions. He was completely outraged with the fact that Jennifer, the most beautiful girl he ever had the pleasure to lay his eyes on, was placed in the House that belonged to the Slytherin's arch rivals, the Gryffindors.

"Hey Draco, why do you think she's in Gryffindor and not in Slytherin" Goyle asked as he and Crabbe tried to keep up with Draco.

"How the hell should I know? Does it look like I'm the sorting hat?"

"No…" Goyle answered confused. Simple things always confused him. This disgusted Draco about the both of them. Not only could they not live a day without having Draco boss them around, or remember important details, but they also got confused over the slightest comments. Draco continued walking until he reached the Potions classroom. He took a seat all the way in the back. Although the Professor for potions, Professor Snape, was the head of his house, Draco couldn't help but get bored during his classes. The only bright side was that he was able to watch as the Gryffindors were humiliated. And now, he could watch Jennifer. Suddenly the door to the classroom flew open and in waltzed Professor Snape. He always had to make an entrance, especially now, with a new student in the room.

"I hear we have a new student" he said in his usual deep voice. "Stand up so I can see you." Jennifer stood. "I see you have the misfortune to be placed in Gryffindor. What's your name?"

"Jennifer. Jennifer Hernandez." It was the first time anyone had heard her voice.

"Well Miss Hernandez, you will soon find out this class is not the easiest nor the most fun. There are those who pay attention, those who will succeed," he looked over at the Slytherins, Draco in particular, "And then there are those who prefer not to pay attention," he looked over at the Gryffindors, Ron in particular, who had been watching Jennifer since they had walked into the room, "Those will fail. You may be seated." Jennifer sat. It was pretty obvious that Snape had gone easy on Jennifer, something that happened only to the Slytherins. And it was pretty obvious why.

"I bet you it's because he heard that she was originally going to be in Slytherin. If it wasn't for that hat's twisted decisions it would have been true too" said Adrian. The class went on as it usually did, Snape scowling at a couple of poor Gryffindors, and praising the Slytherins. All of the class was happy once it was over, even the Slytherins.

"That man, I swear. Poor Neville is always getting scowled for one thing or another. Why can't he for once leave the poor kid alone" complained Hermione.

"Why don't you do something about it Granger?" it was the oh so familiar mocking voice of Draco, "Oh wait, I know why. Because little miss goody-two-shoes Granger doesn't want to be sent to detention. Is that it? You filthy little…" but Harry cut him off.

"Malfoy shut up and go boss your body guards Crabbe and Goyle around."

Draco snickered, "Fine Potter, have it your way."
