Chapter Three- First Day of Classes
*
Chloe was the first to wake the next morning. As she was getting dressed Hermione yawned awake. "Up already?"
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep any more." Chloe said. She finished dressing and she said "I'll wait for you in the common room Hermione." "Kay, I'll be down in five minutes." Hermione said.
Chloe sat in a big, soft chair just as William came down the stairs. "Hey Chlo." Will said when he saw her. "What're you doing down here?" "Waiting for Hermione." "Really? I'm waiting for Ron."
"Kay, you can stop talking about us now." Hermione said as she and Ron came down the stairs. "Okay, but who says we were talking about the two of you?" Chloe asked slyly. Ron and Hermione grinned.
"Can we eat now!?" William asked. The rest of them laughed and exited the common room.
*
Thirty minutes later the Great Hall was packed. "We should be receiving out schedules soon." Matt said. "Do all of us have classes together since we're in the same house?" Chloe asked. "No, the first years have classes with other first years. It's like that with all of the years. You do get what I'm saying, right?" He asked. "Yeah, I think so." Chloe said.
"Speak of the devil." Ron said. They all turned to see Professor McGonagall walking around giving people their schedules. "Chloe Michelle Evans, William Orac Evans." McGonagall said as she handed them their schedules.
"Orac? What kind of a name is that?" Ron asked. "I don't know. I think my parents got it off of an movie." William said. "I like your middle name Chloe." Hermione said. "Thanks."
"Look at this we have 'Care Of Magical Creatures, Double Potions, Double Defense Against The Dark Arts, and History of Magic." Will said.
"Hermione Angel Weasley. Ronald Renaldo Weasley." McGonagall said as she handed them their schedules.
"Ah so you guys have Hagrid, Snape, Fred and George, and then Binns. Not bad. Watch out for Snape though. He seems to hate everyone that is not in Slytherin. Especially Gryffindors." Matt said. "Yes! We have Uncle Fred and George!" Ron said. "Your Uncles are teachers here?" Chloe asked. "Yeah, they teach Defense Against The Dark Arts."
Just then everyone got up to leave. The Slytherins and Gryffindors met at the doorway. Matt, Ron, Hermione, Chloe and Will were at the front of the Gryffindor crowd.
"Well if it isn't the Weasleys. I'd recognize that hair anywhere." A cold voice sneered. "Hello…Tom." Hermione said slowly. Tom turned to Chloe and Will and said "You might want to think about getting better company."
"Like you?" Chloe challenged. "Yes I suppose I would be better than these…Uh, people." Tom said as he looked directly at her. "Well we don't need you to tell who is and who is not a right person to be friends with." Chloe said angrily.
Tom was about to say something when suddenly Professor McGonagall came up to them and said "That's enough! Everyone get to class!"
Tom sneered and said "Later." As he walked away Chloe saw him keep on flicking his eyes towards her.
"Come on Chloe let's get to Care of Magical Creatures. You can meet Hagrid." Hermione said. "Okay Hermione, I'm coming." "See you guys later." Matt said. "See ya Matt." They all said.
Chloe, Hermione, Ron and William were among the first to arrive to class. "Oye, Hagrid! We got some people we want you to meet." "Ron is that ye?" "Yeah Hagrid, me and Hermione with two new friends."
Just then a huge man stepped from around the cabin. He stopped when he saw Chloe. "Hagrid, what's wrong?" Hermione asked. He shook his head and said as he pointed to Chloe "She just reminded me of someone I knew a long time ago."
"Anyway Hagrid this is Chloe and William Evans. Chlo, Will this is Hagrid. He's the Care of Magical Creatures teacher, and he's also the grounds keeper." "Nice to meet you Hagrid." Chloe said as she shook his hand. "Nice to meet you……Chloe." "Please, call me Chlo." She said as she smiled. "This is my twin brother William." "Hey there Will." "Hey Hagrid."
"Oh great. Look who's coming!" Ron exclaimed. All five of them turned to see the Slytherins coming. Tom Malfoy was in the lead.
"Come on ye guys; to the back of the cabin. The rest of the class is waiting." Hagrid yelled to the Slytherins. Tom sneered as he looked over at Chloe. Chloe rolled her eyes and walked to the back of the cabin.
As the rest of the class gathered Hagrid went to go get something. "Chloe, right?" she turned to see Tom standing behind her. "Yes. And you're Tom Malfoy, right?" he smiled. She turned away as Hagrid came around with the weirdest creatures she had ever seen. They had the body of a horse, they had wings, and they had the head and beak of a bird. They were also all gray or black.
Everyone stepped back behind the fence as hey got closer. "Now these here are called Hippogriffs." Hagrid said. "They take offense real easily. When you approach them make sure you bow and keep your eyes on theirs without blinking or they will attack because they think you're challenging them. If they bow back that means ye can touch them. If they don't bow, then slowly back away." He looked at them with a smile. "Any questions?" Nobody said anything. "All right, who's first?"
Chloe put her stuff down and began to cross the fence. "Chlo, no." Will said as he grabbed her arm. She shrugged him off and said "I'll do it." "Good, good. Come over here, don't be afraid." Hagrid said as he pulled away one Hippogriff.
"Now bow and keep yer eyes on old Duckbeaks." She bowed slowly and tried hard not to blink. Her eyes began to water furiously. She stayed like that for a minute. "Okay, doesn't look like he wants to do anything. Back away slowly Chloe."
Just then Duckbeak bowed and everyone gasped. "Good!" Hagrid beamed. "Go ahead. Pet him." Chloe stepped up slowly and put her hand on his back. He leaned lower to the ground. "Ah, looks like he wants you to get on. Go ahead. Don't be afraid."
Slowly she climbed on Duckbeaks back. It was hard considering she didn't want to hurt his wings. As soon as she was on Duckbeak took off into the air. She grabbed him around the neck to prevent herself from falling off. Just before she got out of earshot of everyone she heard them gasp again.
Shortly after that she untangled her arms and lifted them into the sky and whooped "YEAH!" When the Hippogriff landed she jumped off and said "Wow! That was soooo awesome! I've got to do that again!"
"Now Chloe we have to let everyone else have a chance." Hagrid said as he grinned at her. Everyone came forward to have a turn.
*
Before anyone knew it, it was time to go. They all groaned when the bell rang. "Okay class over."
Chloe, Ron, Hermione, and Will began walking back to the castle. "Hey Chloe, can I speak with you for a minute?" she turned to see Tom behind her. "Yeah. Hold on." Then turning to the other three said "I'll catch up with you guys in a minute."
The others walked ahead as she and Tom walked behind. "So I heard you and your brother came from a muggle family." "Muggle?" "You know, people without magic." "Oh, yeah."
"Anyway do you have History of Magic?" "Yeah. Why?" "Here, take this. You might need it." He handed her a book. "What is it?" 'Famous Witches and Wizards.' "You may find it useful." She smiled and said "Thanks Tom." She opened her bag and dropped the book in. "I'll read it when I can."
"Chlo, come on!" "Oh I got to go or I'll be late for potions." She said. "You have potions next?" "Yes!" "So do I, let's go." Tom said as they ran for class.
They sat down just as the bell rang. Chloe sat with the Gryffindors and Tom sat with the Slytherins.
"Good…afternoon…boys and girls. Let's get started." For the next two hours they studied different kinds of potions.
Five minutes before the class ended Snape said "For homework I want a two parchment report on all the following potions, love potion, shrinking potion, and enlargement potion. All due next class."
As they left the room Hermione said "Looks like someone likes you Chlo." "Huh?" Hermione pointed over her shoulder. Chloe turned to see Tom staring at her.
"Come on Chlo, Hermione or we'll be late for Defense Against the Dar Arts." "Coming Will!" Chloe said, and she and Hermione ran to catch up with them.
"Just wait till you meet Uncle Fred and Uncle George." Said Ron. "Yeah they're so cool." Hermione said. "Now class settle down." One of the twins said then the other said "We've got loads to learn."
"Who is who?" Uncle Fred is on the left and Uncle George is on the right." Hermione said. "You can tell them apart because of their hair. Uncle Fred has longer hair than Uncle George." Ron added.
During class they learned about Bogarts and werewolves. As the class began to leave the room Ron, Hermione, Chloe, and William stayed behind. "Well look who's here!" Fred said. "It's Ron and Hermione with two new friends." George said.
"Say what are your names?" Fred and George asked at once. "I'm Chloe Evans. But my friends call me Chlo." "And my name is William Evans. Everyone calls me Will. I'm Chlo's twin." "Twins!?" "Like us!"
"Hey we really have to go." Ron said. "Yeah we have History of Magic next." Hermione said. "Bye kids!" "Yeah come visit us again." Fred and George said.
They stepped through the door just as the bell rang. They all started when they saw a ghost floating behind the teacher's desk. "How nice of you to join us. Please sit down." The ghost said in a bored tone. They went to the back of the room and sat at the last remaining tables.
"Today we are going to learn about the four greatest witch and wizards of all time. First might be the cruelest wizard of all times. Lord Voldermort." Professor Binns looked around. "Now let's not forget the boy who survived Lord Voldermort's attacks more than once, and the one who finally killed him. Harry Potter." He paused again. "We can't forget Harry's two best friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger."
Everybody had leaned forward when they heard Harry Potter's name. "Now we all know that he night Lord Voldermort was vanquished Hermione and Ronald were killed, and Harry Potter disappeared, never to be seen again."
For the next hour they wrote as much as they could about Harry's, Ron's, Hermione's and Lord Voldermort's years of fighting. Right before class let out Professor Binns said "If you can I want you to get the book, 'Famous Witches and Wizards' by Miranda Howard. They seemed to have forgotten to put that one on the list."
Then the bell rang. "Have a nice day." As they walked out of the classroom Chloe opened her bag and took out the book that Tom had given her. "What's that Chlo?" William asked. "The book that Professor Binns wants us to get." Chloe replied. "When did you get that?" asked Hermione. "Tom gave it to me right before Potions." They all stared at her.
"Hey, it's time to eat. Let's go!" Ron said to break the silence. "You guys go ahead. I'm going to stop by the library to read some of this." Chloe said. The rest of them shrugged and walked towards the Great Hall.
When she sat down at a table she opened the book and began to read. She didn't know how long she had been reading when she came across this:
"Some think that Harry Potter died that night along with
Voldermort, Hermione, and Ron. But close friends like Albus
Dumbledore believe he is alive, hiding in grief of his friends."
"Wow I have to show this to the others!" she exclaimed and jumped up. As she was walking down the hall she looked through the book to see if there were any pictures. When she turned the next page and saw the pictures she stopped in her tracks. It showed two boys and a girl. One boy with jet black, messy hair. One boy with red hair and freckles. And the girl had brown, curly hair.
She heard somebody stop right behind her. "Miss? Are you okay?" she turned to see Professor Dumbledore standing next to her. She began pointing at the boy with jet black, messy hair, green eyes and glasses. "Tha…tha…that's…my…my…" "That's your what?" "That's my dad!" Chloe exclaimed as she dropped the book.
"What's your name?" he asked slowly as he looked at the picture. "Chloe. Chloe Evans." "Evans!" He exclaimed. "I should have known that he might change his last name to his mother's maiden name!"
Chloe stood there dumbfounded. "Tell me, where do you live?" She just stood there. "Tell me!" he said as he grabbed her shoulders.
"Um. 1435 Millbury Ln. London." Then he left without a backwards glance. Chloe picked up the book and ran for the Great Hall.
When she got there she ran to where William was sitting and plopped down next to him. "Jeez Chlo. What's wrong?" Will asked. She opened the book to the picture and said as she pointed to the boy in the front. "Tell me who that is."
He looked down and said "Oh my god! That's dad!" Ron looked over and said "Look Hermione, it's Uncle Ron!" "You're right." "Don't you get it Will?" Chloe asked. "Father never talked about Hogwarts because he is none other than Harry Potter!" "What!?" Hermione and Ron exclaimed.
"Come on let's go back to the common room so we can talk more." Chloe said. All of them jumped up and ran out of the Great Hall.
"Look what it says here!" Chloe said as they sat in a circle in the common room. "Harry Potter is the best Seeker in Quidittch that Hogwarts has ever seen."
"I can't believe dad did all this stuff and never told us!" Will said. "I guess it was all too painful for him." Chloe replied.
The four friends stayed up late into the night talking.
