Chapter four: First Weekend

Dear Mum: I would love to go to your house on Christmas. I can't wait to see you again; I've missed you so much. School has been good so far. I got sorted in Slytherin. I met some of the older kids; they are really nice, including the head boy. Also I made I few friends in my year, they aren't in my house but I take some classes with them and I see them during breakfast, lunch and dinner. Most of the classes are ok; I hope they don't get harder later in the year. The teachers are nice and so is the headmaster. I'll try to write to you again next weekend. Can't wait to see you.
Love

Serverus Serverus tied the note to Horus and sent him flying thru the window on the Owlery and then went back to his room to get ready for breakfast. It was far away, but Serverus knew that the only way to be able to write this letter to his Mum was to send them really late at night or really early in the morning. He crept in to his dormitory, making sure not wake up anyone. It was Saturday, the first day and it was going to be his first weekend in school. From one point of view it wasn't that good, it meant Black and Potter had 48 hours free to torture him. But he wasn't to sure that James would try anything to big if Milady or Arthur were watching. From another point of view, it meant 48 hours he could spend with Monica and Lily, maybe even with the big kids. Serverus had learned to look at the positive side of things from his mother.

His first week had been full of up's and downs. On his second day he had Herbiology, the teacher was a young witch called Madam Sprout and was a great teacher, she knew every plant in the green houses, what their magical properties were and how to prepare each and everyone of them. Also, you had to be good to make a class all about plant's interesting. His History of magic teacher was completely different. Professor Binns was an old wizard who made the bloodiest goblin rebellion boring enough for the whole class to fall asleep. He understands why Milady had said he didn't care if they were missing, he didn't even notice. By far the greatest of the teachers was Defense against the dark arts. Her classes were in one of the dungeons, one of the deepest and as much as Sprout knew of plants, this girl knew about the Dark Arts. She was the youngest teacher she still looked like one of the student's. All this things, a pale complexion, and the fact that no one ever saw her come out from her classroom except on dinner gave way to many rumors, the main being that she was a vampire. What ever she was, Professor Moody was Serverus favorite teacher and class. His classroom was not as good unfortunately. They were all like his family and their friends, and so far Serverus was the only one that hadn't said he planed o be a death eater as soon as he could.

After eating his breakfast Serverus went to get his first batch of weekend assignments and decided to study outside. It was a beautiful day since fall had not settled in. When he went outside the front doors he saw that almost everyone had the same idea. Different groups were sitting thru out the grounds studying, some were just lying around and talking and he could see some people in the quiditch pitch. He looked around wandering were to settle down when he spotted Monica near the edge of the lake studying. He crept up to the lake and sat beside her.

"Hi."

"Hey Sev." She had looked a lot better from the last time he had seen her well.

"What are you studying for?" he sat down next to her and put his books beside him.

"Nothing really, I just wanted to get some fresh air."

"It's a nice place. How have you liked school so far?"

"It's ok, except for the four stooges."

"Who?"

"Potter, Black, Lupin and Petergrew."

"How bad are they?" he said holding back laughter.

"You should see them in Flitwick's class; he is so close of throwing them all out. And McGonagall is considering transfiguring into stone so they'll keep quite. Even the head boy says he wishes he could use the petrificus curse on them."

"The headboy? They're that bad?"

"Well it's mostly Sirius and Potter, Petergrew is not in our house and Lupin is a lot cal-"

"GET BACK HERE POTTER!!!"

They turned around to see a very furious Arthur with two other boys (one had long hair in dreadlocks, long worn jeans and a tied died shirt, the other an afro with a white poet shirt, long striped pants and closed vest. Arthur wore the usual jeans with a blue sleeveless shirt and his own vest. None had shoes on.) running after James and Sirius, the first waving something he held in his hands.

"You better stop running or it will be your head!!!!" screamed the boy in dreads.

"If those thing's fly of, mark my words I will kill you personally!!!!" said the other one.

"Oh now his on trouble." said Monica grinning.

"What's happening?" asked Serverus.

"This morning Arthur received a letter that had some tickets for something. The point was he got really excited and the rest of his friends to. He must have come to show them to somebody and Potter got them on his possession."

"What do you think they will do if they catch him?"

"Probably beat him till he can see stars during day."

They both laughed at the idea and even more when they saw the boy with the afro tackle down James. He began to wrestle the tickets from him and was joined soon after by the other two. The fight didn't last long because on of the teachers saw and came to the young boys' aid.

"Wealsley, Jordan and Shakelbot! What is going on here?!"

The scene was joined by Milady in her usual jeans and t-shirt and the girl named Molly in a silk blouse and skirt.

Serverus and Monica both turned back to their studies and decided to let the scene unfold.

"You'll see, they won't get punished, and probably the older kids get it worst."

"Why? They are the ones that started it."

"They'll say it was a simple prank and that the other three attacked with out a reason. Besides that teacher, Madam Hooch has her eye on both of them for the team, she won't let them get into to much trouble, and she needs them."

"How did you learn all this?"

"When they spend their time virtually screaming how they'll be the youngest players in almost a century it's hard to ignore them. The only way to shut them out is by going to the dorm room. Sometimes even there the girls from the dorm talk about it."

"All the girls?"

"Well no, I don't. And Lily Evans doesn't seem to like them either."

Serverus smiled, he was one step ahead of Potter. At lunch, while Serverus enjoyed lamb shops with mashed potatoes and gravy, something very strange happened, his brother and Lucius sat at his side while Narcissa sat next to Milady who was sitting in front of him.

"What did I do?"

"Nothing Serverus, we just wanted to talk to you."

"About what?" this was getting scary; his brother was calling him by his name.

"Since now you are here in Slytherin, we have to make sure you keep our reputation clean, we have to make sure of were your loyalties lie."

"This means, making sure you are a true Slytherin, that you aren't spreading any information to people who you shouldn't and that none in school except maybe professor Cassel knows of anything that goes on in the Slytherin dorm." Lucius said with a slow voice, making sure the boy heard everything.

"And this includes not co fraternizing with the other houses to much." Ended Narcissa in a matter of fact voice.

"Wow 'co fraternizing', that is one long word Narcissa. Did you just blow a fuse in your head thinking it?"

"That goes for you to Milady. You think we haven't seen you with Weasley and his group."

"You are just mad because he beat you for head boy."

Lucuis looked at her, narrowing his eyes.

"You better watch out for your self, the dark lord is ready to launch bigger attacks than the petty crimes he has commanded until now; I wouldn't want to be mixing with the wrong sort." With this all three got up, leaving Serverus and Milady behind.

"Asshole, well we'll see who wins in the end, and I can assure you, it won't be his 'dark lord'."

Serverus just nodded in agreement and continued to eat his lunch.

He climbed up to the library hoping to get so work done since he had ended up talking to Monica. They had been talking about their first week in Hogwarts. She had been telling him how different Sirius had been before meeting James. She had been her neighbor for all her life and his friend to. According to her he used to be a very shy boy, something Serverus highly doubted. She told him that they used to be best friends, better than he was with James now. But when he met James, he began to be like him. Sirius began to spend less time with her, and his personality and attitude changed to. Who was once one of the best guy's she had ever met had slowly turned in to the complete contrary. But Severus could tell that no matter how much she denied it, she missed him and wished that he was with her instead of James. He entered the library and sat down on one of the empty chairs, which were hard to find since it seemed that teachers loved to give work in this place. Severus looked over what he had to do. Potions, Transfiguration, History of Magic, and Defense against the Dark Arts...this was going to be a long day...
