"To right you are Pansy," said Draco with an evil smile.
"Are you just going to stand there like a complete idiot?" He asked her.
The girl didn't move either she was to scared to or she was thinking by the look on her face.
"Oh she can't help what she is Draco." Pansy stated.
"It was just a question you didn't have to snap on me like that!" the girl said after getting her voice back. The girl glared at them. Pansy looked at her with disgust and waved her away
................
"Oh yes, you are to kind to point me in the direction of where I need to be," the girl said at the guesture, "Guess I should of known better then to talk to a dunderhead like you anyways!" the girl shouted as she walked away. The other students watched in interest.
Pansy shot up, "Don't you ever talk to me like that, no doubt you're just another Mudblood!"
The girl turned around and showed her a fake dismayed look; "You're not worth my time." Pansy's mouth dropped. Draco glared at Harry, Ron, and Hermione looking like might jump in at any time.
"You just remember one thing," began Pansy as she looked at the rest of the Slytherins, "Mudbloods are like cockroaches, you get one, then they all start to come." All the Slytherins laughed. The girl was nearing her seat about to say something back when the door shot open. Pansy gave her meanest look at the Gryffindors.
"To your seats!" Snape yelled as he strolled to the front of the class. Pansy sat down quickly and the girl did the same.
"Take out something to write notes on," he demanded, "and copy this down." Snape said as words appeared on the board in front of them all. Pansy began to copy what was on the board very neatly and fast.
"One word, one sound," he said looking towards the Gryffindors, "and points will be taken away without a second thought." Pansy and Draco looked to each other and smiled. Everyone did as they were told, as this was the normal way of the room. Snape walked over to his desk and began to correct a pile of papers. After finishing her work quickly Amy just stared at Ron longingly.
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in," bellowed Snape.
In walked McGonagall, "Professor Snape, I need a word with you." She said standing in the doorway.
Snape looked up from his work, "Can't it wait?" The class was no longer working on the notes. They were pretending to write, but they were listening for a hint of gossip.
"It could but I would rather speak with you now." She said in a tone that meant bussness. After putting what looked to be a "F" on a paper, Snape stood up and headed over to McGonagall.
"You will all finish your work, this is going to be the next potion we work on," he paused to grin at Neville, "therefore if anything is missing from your notes, your potion will not be right. And I WILL take points away, you've been warned." Neville began to sweat at the very thought.
"Malfoy," he said turning his attention to his favorite student, "keep an eye on things while I am out." he said with a sneer Malfoy nodded. McGonagall held the door open and Snape walked threw and shut it with a snap.
Pansy looked to the girl, "Awww how sweet, looks like someone fancies Weasel." She said with an evil like laugh along with all the other Slytherins. The girl's eyes filled with tears, she looked away and down. Ron was in shock but looked at the Slytherins with anger. Crabbe fell out of his seat with laugher but got back up in his seat, still with a grand grin on his face.
Pansy went back to her notes and Malfoy glared at Ron. Hermione unzipped her bag and dug through it then handed the girl a tissue. "Don't listen to her, she never has anything nice to say." Hermione said in a whisper. She nodded at Hermione but kept her head down. The girl began to play with the strings on her robes after dabbing her face with the tissue.
Harry glanced at the girl, "Really, its nothing don't let them bother you...your just not used to there comments."
"Speaking of which," Hermione said, "how come I have never seen you in class before?"
Amy looked up her eyes glistened with unfallen tears, "I only just started today, in taking the normal classes," she said with a sniff. Seeing the looks on their faces she went on, "My parents talked to Dumbledore and well they got me in these special classes with different teachers."
"You mean you have never took any of these classes before?" Hermione said looking somewhat awe struck.
"I take classes but just not with any other students, its all a training thing that my parents are really big on." Amy said now forgetting about before. "But this year they are letting me take normal classes so that I make some friends."
Malfoy leaned back in his chair and looked back at the door then to the other side of the room glaring at Ron and Harry. Malfoy went back to his notes and looked up every minute or so making sure he was doing the best of what Snape asked of him.
"I was hoping to make friends other then Gryffindors but as you saw, that got shot down right quick." Amy said nodding in the direction of Pansy.
................
Snape came back toward the end of class time, "Everything went well, Malfoy?" Snape asked as he sat down and placed a folded piece of paper into a locked drawer.
"Yes Sir," said Malfoy looking up briefly.
"Good," Snape said and returned to the papers he was working on before.
Pansy got finished and began to doodle on a separate piece of parchment so she looked busy. The girl saw Pansy still working (or so she thought) and the others and began thinking that maybe there was something she was missing. She got up from her seat and walked to the teacher's desk.
Pansy nudged Malfoy, "Check this out," she said in a whisper pointing to the front. He looked up and shook his head.
"Professor?" the girl asked sweetly. The class had stopped with their notes yet again to see what was going on in the front of the class.
"What?!" Snape replied with a low growl. All the Slytherins had slight grins on their faces.
"I am finished with my notes," the girl said.
"Do you want a gold star?" he said now looking up at her from the papers.
"No, sir, I was just wondering if, there was something else I should be doing." Amy said in a need-to-know-way. Pansy looked down acting like she was studying but was listening deeply.
"Else?" the Professor repeated the word. "Else? Did you not hear my instructions at the beginning of the class?" he said with anger in his voice.
"Yes, I did but I finished and I was just..." the girl was saying.
"Is the work I set out for the day to easy for you?" he said louder so all could hear, even though all were already listening.
"No, I was just..."
"What is your name?" Snape yelled at her.
The girl was now surging with fear, "Amy." Pansy looked up at Malfoy to see his grin and went back to pretending to study.
"Not your first name! What is your name?" Snape asked as he temper was rising and voice was still getting louder.
"Starr." Amy said barely above a whisper.
"You are new to this class, am I correct?" Snape questioned.
"Yes, Professor." Amy replied.
"Well class...." Snape said with an evil voice. Pansy looked up with interest. "Thanks to your new classmate, Miss Starr, you well all take this assignment and show me three other potions and the ingredients, that have the same results!"
The whole class replied with a groan. Pansy looked at Malfoy with a look of 'she'll pay for this' he nodded along with a glare to Amy.
"Class demised!" Snape shouted over the now complaining students.
Pansy and Malfoy collected their things and walked out. Amy walked slowly back to her seat a grabbed her things with tears streaming down her face. Her day couldn't get any worse she thought. She was going to say she was sorry to the gang but they had already took off out the door. With a great sigh she put her bag on her shoulder and was the last one out the door.
Amy made her way to the Great Hall. Everyone was pointing at her, giving her dirty looks, and talking about her in whispers as she walked to lunch.
"I can't believe her," spoke a voice, "going up to Snape like that."
A group of Slytherin girls all shot nasty looks at her, "Not to bright is she?" one girl said to the rest and they all laughed.
