Harry woke his scar searing. He vaguely remembered the dream that had
caused such panic. Ron threw Harry's robes at him. "Hurry up! Don't you
want breakfast?" At the thought of food his stomach growled. He put on his
robes quickly and hurried down the ever changing stairs to the great hall.
Unfortunately, Snape was coming up, as they were coming down. Now, when you
think about it you may ask yourself 'So? What's the big deal with that?'
Ahh, but there is a big deal. What if Ron just happened to trip and fall
down the stairs? Hmm? Well, may I be the one to tell you, that's exactly
what happened. Ron tripped over the hand me down robes right into- yes you
got it! Right into Snape's outstretched arms. Ron looked up nervously.
"Hello Professer." He all but whimpered. "Hello Weasly." He mocked. Ron
tried not the cringe as the smell of Snape's breath reached him. "Get
walking or I'll take ten points off of Gryfindor for harassing the
teachers." He threatened. He hurried down the stairs whispering curses
about Snape to each other. They reached the Great Hall and looked around
for a familiar face. "Hi!" Hermione waved her hands franticly to attract
their attention. It worked, although there was a low rumble of snickers
from the Slytherin table. Hermione flushed cherry red and sat down, her
head bowed. Harry and Ron glared at them, Malfoy especially. They took
their seats next to Hermione whispering insults about the Slytherins. She
stifled a giggle. They began to eat breakfast all the while laughing and
joking. Once Hermione told a joke so amusing Ron spilt his drink all over
her. Some way of expressing how funny the joke was. Although Malfoy thought
that was funnier than the actual joke. "Ha Ha!" he shouted. "Weasly's mum
never taught him how to get a girl." He mocked Ron's accent, causing
squeals of laughter from his table. "But then again who would want a
mudblood like Granger!" Dumbledore stood suddenly and tapped his glass
with his spoon to signal quiet. A hush fell over the students. "A have an
announcement to make." He looked around at the students. "We have two
transfer students from Durmstrang. They are in the fifth year. Allow me to
introduce Karissa and Christina."
