September 2
I was woken up by Chakka at the normal time for me to wake, 7:00, which was good because I would have been late on the first day to my classes. I zoomed out of bed and dressed in the black Hogwarts robes with time to go and eat breakfast. I looked at my schedule before I left it's as follows:
Friday
8:00 - 10:00 Potions /w Gryffindor - Professor Snape
10:15 - 11:15 Charms /w Ravenclaw - Professor Flitwick
11:30 - 12:30 Herbology /w Ravenclaw - Professor Sprout
12:30 - 1:00 Lunch
1:00 - 2:00 Transfiguration w Huffulpuffs - Professor McGonagall
2:15 - 3:15 Defense Against the Dark Arts - Professor Quirell
3:30 - 4:30 History of Magic w Huffulpuffs - Professor Bins
Dismissal is 4:30, 2:45 on Fridays.
Students have 15 minute breaks in between classes. This time is used to make it to your class on time and prepared. If you are late, house points will be deducted or detentions will be issued. The amount is up to the Professor. DO NOT LOLLYGAG! You receive afternoon breaks on Fridays. The Ground is open during lunch hour and after school. Students are to be in their common rooms by 9:00.
It also said off to the side somewhere that the Slytherins had Astronomy on Tuesdays at 8:00 and where to meet in Professor Spira's room. I knew this was going to be a long week waiting for Damon. I would have to make the best of it though. My small bit of positive attitude was not going to get me through the day however.
First, double potions with Gryffindor. I didn't really mind it that much. Professor Snape obviously favored us. I was just glad I wasn't a Gryffindor like Dean. If I was, I would have been chewed out by Snape. He was stern so I, for once, was thankful to be a Slytherin. Next we had Charms with the Ravenclaws. They didn't seem to mind us, in fact they pretty much ignored us. Professor Flitwick gave easy questions. I felt I would pretty good this class. We were paired into partners on the first day. I was paired with a pretty nice girl for a Ravenclaw. Her name was Lain. She was smart too. That's a lot coming from me. I was also going to end up being, yet again, paired up with her in Herbology when we were assigned to keep a flutterby bush alive for a week. I was getting extremely hungry by then. It was a good thing lunch was right after herbology.
I ate a cheese and ham sandwich. When I finished the lunch hour wasn't over, so I went out to the grounds to socialize. Heh, when I say socialize I mean sit on a bench and watch the kids outside talking to each other. Dean did though come over and say "hi" if that counts for anything. Though that's all he said and went off with Seamus. I don't mind. I can at least watch them.
Before the lunch hour was over I decided to go ahead and head on down to the common room. I had heard that Professor McGonagall was as strict as Professor Snape, though she didn't favor the Gryffindor's, Dean had told me. I rushed on down to the cold stone steps to the dungeon. I quickly, after going in to the common room, rushed up to my room and grabbed my transfiguration supplies. I had confidence that I would do pretty well in transfiguration, after all I had to make Quidditch supplies that includes the golden snitch. I also grabbed a chocolate frog, I was still kind of hungry. As soon as I did that I rushed back out and went up the marble steps to the first floor, to Professor McGonagall's class. I arrived fairly early. There was still about 2 or 3 minutes until the bell rang. I was the only Slytherin there already, it was kind of depressing. The rest of the kids were all Hufflpuffs. They gave me a look that included dislike and mild interest. I still wondered why I had such awful housemates, but still, at least they left you alone. *Sigh* As I waited for class to start, I contemplated how long I would sell stuff for today. Since the shop in Diagan Alley had a sign on it that said 'Currently in Hogwarts', I had to sell my stuff here. So, what I decided to do was sell on the 6th floor I would hand out flyers or something. By then the bell had just rung.
The class was still straggling in. Professor McGonagall walked in from her office. She took roll and then told us the rules, transformed her desk into a pig and back, made us copy complicated notes and then gave us a match that we where supposed to be turning into a needle. I got started right away. I got out my wand and remembered what I had to do to get any successful transfiguration, not think real hard, but think real hard. Anyways, after 2 flicks of my wand I had correctly turned the match into a pointy needle. I found it really easy, but I guess the others didn't.
I remembered how hard it was for me in the beginning to do something like this. But, now I could turn a ball of gold into the snitch it was supposed to be. I first had to welt gold into a ball, then, I had to transfigure the thing to become alive and grow small nearly invisible wings. Then I had to charm it to linger in a quidditch game, instead of flying away, though it was only a temporary charm. For a bludger it was much easier, all I had to do was make a medium sized ball of iron and then put a permanent charm on it. Anyways back to my original point. When Professor McGonagall came around to look at our progress, I could see by the look in her eyes that she knew this wasn't my first time at transfiguring something. Though she didn't seem all too pleased. Maybe it was because I was a Slytherin, maybe not, but I was the only one in the class who could do it and I only got 5 points...It was probably because she somehow knew I had already done this kind of thing before . . . .
After transfiguration, we had to go to a cut short Defense against the Dark Arts (because it was Friday). No history of magic thankfully, that class was supposed to be really boring, being taught by a ghost that died of old age and all. Defense against the dark arts was really boring. The teacher was a joke. Even without the creepy turban I wouldn't have liked him. I got that weird felling again and the teacher stuttered annoyingly. I was so happy when that bell rang and I was finally let out. Sheesh.
I immediately went to the common room. Once I arrived I went to my dormitory and grabbed all of my flyers and catalogs. I stumbled to the secret passage in the dungeons I had discovered, that led to the 6th floor. Once I arrived there I started to hand out flyers about what I sold and things like that. It was only as I was handing them out that I noticed Lain. I watched her go into one of the muggle studdies classrooms. I think it was the Muggle studies Music classroom. I wondered what she might possibly be doin' there. Maybe she was an honor's student or something. I knew for a fact that you didn't take any muggle studies until your 2nd year and up. Anyways, when I saw her leave, she was carrying a case that looked like something I had seen before but I couldn't really remember. I was completely stumped, but it was none of my business. I continued to hand out flyers, but then finally decided I had given enough out.
By then dinner was just about to start, so I scrambled back through the hidden passage, put my stuff away in the common room and headed to the Great Hall. The food was already out. I slipped into a seat and ate while I listened to the conversation.
"Did you see that flyer on the notice board"?
"Which one?"
"The one that said we are to start taking flying lessons with the Gryffindors."
*Sigh* "Uck."
"I guess you didn't then."
Flying lessons with the Gryffindors....I so would rather not make a fool of myself on a broomstick in front of Dean and his friends, much less my fellow Slytherins . . . . DAMON!!!!!!! *Whimper* I need your annoying guidance!!!! This place is so BORING without ya!!!!! I went on back to the common room to get to bed. After handing out all of those flyers and eating that good meal I wanted to hit the hay, but unfortunately I had homework still. ARGGGGG!
A million years later, (ok 2 hours, but still!) I was pooped. I then hit the hay and thought about how glad I was that tomorrow was Saturday. . . . . . . . .
A/N: Thank you Phyllida for reviewing...But I really can't figure out a better summary well Lain (aznstargirl) thought of one and she changed it but...well I hope more people might read it now...
