hey hey ya'll. i no i am bad about updating but that is old news. another
thing i have to say is that the first day at Hogwarts is never going to
end. my story seems just like the actual book, it takes 25 pages for the
first day. well i am glad to say that the first day is going to END in
this chaper cuz i am getting really sick of it. so just a warning as i am
typing this i have no idea how long this chapter may be. another thing yet
is that the first chapter of this story was a summary but it got deleted
even tho i thought that u could have a summary at the beginning and end of
a story (according to the new rule put out my fanfiction.net (a wonderful
site i might add, lol) but i was wrong and so it is gone i will now have to
put a disclamer in every chapter, also note that the reviews are thrown off
a chapter the ones for the for the new first chapter are labeled second and
so on.. there are double reviews for chapter six. Just thought u all
might want to no that if u were ever going to go read the reviews. well i
guess i can quiet blabbing and start writing the end to the never ending
first day.
*****NOTE: it was so long that i had to split it into 2 chapter.*****

Chapter 7 : Baby Names Part I
Alexis had rushed to the Great Hall and had scarffed down a sandwich. She had to finish the last part of it on the way to her Transfiguration class. She walked in and found Draco already there. In fact most of the class was already there.
A few other people came in after her. As she sat down, by Draco, the bell rang.
He slid her backpack over to her.
She smiled, swallowed her last bite, and said, "Thank you so much."
He smirked.
She bent down and pulled a quill, ink, and some parchment out.
Prof. McGonagall walked in the class room and tapped her wand on the chalkboard, a bold heading in a swift cursive handwriting, CLASSROON COMDUCT. Below it appeared 10 rules.
"Welcome class, to Transfiguration Ordinary Wizard Level , also know as O.W.L.s Everyone in here has successfully completed your O.W.L. exams at an excelling level," McGonagall said with a sense of pride, she had taught this group of teens, she had taught them well enough for them to make it this far. Even some of the students sitting in front of her smiled knowing of what they had accomplished, and she had recognized them for that. "But enough with the praises. This class will be very easy for everyone if they participate in class and take note. But if you choose not to do this, that will reflect in your grade." When she said this she gave a glare over at Potter and Weasley. A smile, or at least a smirk, spread across all the faces of the Slytherins. Alexis found it all very humorous even though all she knew about the two, except that they were from Gryffendor. Beside her Malfoy snickered to himself.
"If everyone would take a look at the board, you will notice a list of rules. If everyone would please read over them, there is no need to write them down unless you think that you will have problems abiding these rules," this time she threw the look at the lot of Slytherins, pin pointing it mostly to Malfoy, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione, were the ones to smirk this time.
When she turned to walk to her desk, Malfoy muttered, "Oh, ow, that cut me so deep," then he threw a look of disgust over to Potter.
McGonagall went over and tapped the chalk board once more, there appeared another list in the same swift looking handwriting. The time it was headed, HOMEWORK, underneath was a list of guidelines for their homework, such as what would happen if they turned their assignment in late.
"You will see that there is a list of Guidelines for your homework . . ."
The class continued the same for the rest of the hour. They reviewed old spells that they had learned in past years. Alexis figured out that she was very ahead of the students at Hogwarts. She had learned all of the spells that they had talked about in her 1st, 2nd, and 3rd years at Durmstrang.
They then went the Defense Against the Dark Arts, which was a totally new class for Alexis, sense Durmstrang offered The Dark Arts, not the defense of it.
There were a few whispers when she walked into the class room, obviously most of the students at Hogwarts knew about the different classes at Durmstrang.
Alexis took a seat between Blaise and Draco. She figured that the class couldn't be to hard sense she already knew how to produce these spells.
"Wonder who the new teacher is?" Blaise asked Malfoy.
"Don't know, father wouldn't tell me," Malfoy said shrugging his shoulders.
"New teacher? We never had a new teacher at Durmstrag, most of them have been there for years," she said looking rather confuses, "What happened to the last one? Wait I read all about it in the Daily Prophet. You guys have had a new teacher every year for like six years."
"Well, yeah, it's along story, me myself haven't had a teacher for Defense Against the Dark Arts that I saw the next year again," Draco said.
"None of use in here have," Blaise added.
"Let me guess, they think this job is cursed," Alexis said.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Draco said looking rather astonished that she knew that.
"Just a guess considering what job it is."
"Sure you aren't telling us something," Draco said still looking a little confused.
"Nope."
The bell rang and everyone became silent, they were all wondering the same thing, who was there new teacher?
A younger looking man with short blonde hair walked in the door. His hair wasn't a silver blonde like Draco's it was more of a sandy blonde, but it wasn't what you would call dirty blonde. It was short enough that he had it spiked up. He looked like he was about 5' 9". He was wearing more modern clothes than any of the other professors at Hogwarts. He had on a pair of pleated khakis and a navy shirt with read tie. His shoes were a basic pair of brown leather oxfords. His robe, showing an embroidered Hogwarts crest on the left chest, was also navy.
"Sorry I'm a bit late, I got held up in the staff room. Does it seem to you guys that Prof. Flitwick talks a lot?" he said, his voice crisp.
There was laughter throughout the room. Everyone knew that Prof. Flitwick talked a lot, and everyone always avoided any conversation, that might in any means go into great depth.
"I take that as a yes. Well sorry once again for my very informal entrance, but my name is Professor Corey Fisher. I will of course be your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. You may notice that I do not have a British accent like that most of you. Well it seems that you Headmaster was having a bit of trouble finding a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and I was on vacation when I ran into the all famous Albus Dumbledore. We had a bit of chat, and he asked what I did, and well the rest is history."
He had a bit of a smile/smirk, that he showed as he walked up to the front of the room. He sat on the front of his desk, which none of the students knew of any other professors at Hogwarts ever doing. He seemed as a rather informal person, laid back, but yet everyone got a seemed to get a feeling that he was very profesional.
"Well I would like everyone to tell me there names and I will also pass around a piece of parchment that you all can sign. You can right your formal name, include your middle of you wish. The across from your name please write what you wish for me to call you. Yes, I am aware that every other professor calls you either Miss. or Mr., but you are kids, and lets not waste the youth," he said placing the parchment on the front desk, in which sat Hannah Abolt. She took out her quill and began to write.
"Well lets start over here, what is your name," he said pointing to a girl with bushy hair.
"Hermione Granger."
"I see, and you?" he asked pointing sitting to the boy next to her."
"Ronald Weasley, but please just Ron."
They contiued around the room, when they came to Alexis, everyone turned to look at her.
"Alexis Stanford," she said in rather cool voice, "New, too."
"In the same vote I see. Must be the reason for all the looks."
"Yeah, that is what I was guessing, too," she said smirking.
"Well we can learn together then."
"Yeah, but I catch on quick, so you had better be fast," she said humorously.
"Oh, don't worry, Stanford, you'll have to watch out for me."
"That is what you think," she said giving him another smirk.
"We'll have to see about, now won't we."
"Oh, come on Fisher, your brothers would be to sad, to see you put up such a terrible fight. I know you can do better."
"Where you talking to Steven?"
Everybody was now watching them, it seemed if they had known each other pior to this meeting.
"Oh, I just had a talk with Cody, thats all. But you no how he can tell stories."
"We all know that, don't we."
"Oh, yeah, he has even some on me."
"He has some on everybody," he said smirking, "As you all have probably figured out Stanford, and I have already met. You see I graduated from an American Wizarding school, then came over her to coach Quidditch. I coached Stanford's, 8 -11-year-old quidditch. She is quite the player. Then I went back to America for more schooling, and now I am here."
There was some talking among groups of friends. Even Draco, and Blaise looked at each other. They both turned to her and said, "What?"
"Well everyone quiet down now. We should have saved our conversation for later, but that is the past, and now is the future, so lets live it. On to the next person."
"Draco Malfoy."
"Oh yeah, I have briefly met your mother. Nice lady."
"Sometimes," he said smirking, just trying to be sarcastic.
"Oh, come now Malfoy, she is nice."
"I guess."
Prof. Fisher smirked, "Next."
They continued on until, everyone had went.
***
"Well now to class, I am very strict about papers being in on time, no EXCUSES," Prof. Fisher began,
"The grading system is very simple. For papers I take 20% on grammar, 70% on the core subject, 5% on neatness of writing, and 5% for form of the paper. You will see the form on the chalk board. I shall remind you of that again, when we start the first paper. As for question from the book, and other simple papers, each problem will have a set number of points and your grade will be in point form, like a fraction. Lets say if the total paper is worth 15 points, and you get 13 points, your grade will appear like this," he said writting the fraction 13/15 on the board," That should be like most other classes I assume.'
'As you are all aware of there are points awarded or taken away form each house. I have a simple system for points. If you receive a perfect score on a paper, for example 15 out of 15, 1 point will be awarded to your house. If receive a perfect score on a quiz, 2 points, and a perfect score on a test 5 points. If you are late for class, the number of minutes you are late will be the number of points taken away. Also there will be random points award throughout class. And also random points taken away for inappropriate language, or behavior."
He continued on about this for 20 minutes, then for the rest of the period the played 2 Facts, 1 Fib. Where each student told him 2 facts about his or her life, and 1 fib. Then Fisher had to guess which was the fib.
He took no time at all guessing Alexis's fib.
When the bell rang they walked down to the Slytherin common room together.
"You never told me that you played quidditch as a kid," Blaise said looking at her.
"Well, seeing as I have only known you for lets see, a day, I probably just didn't have time," she said rolling her eyes at him.
"Oh, well yeah I guess, but you still should have told us."
"Slipped my mind."
Draco and Alexis walked into the charms classroom together. This charms class was especially devoted to healers.
Prof, Flitwick was on his normal stand of books.
"Does he always stand on that?" Alexis asked looking a bit confused
"Yep, always has, and I am guessing he always will."
Alexis smiled and laughed, Draco was a ninny for pretty girls that laughed. He just never could keep a straight face, he always had to smirk or smile. This time it was a full smile.
"What are you smiling at?" Alexis asked.
"Oh, nothing," he lied.
"What a goober."
"What?!?"
"Oh, never mind," Alexis said taking a seat in the second row of desks.
"Fine then, I won't sit by you," Draco said walking in the other direction.
"Whoa see if I care," she said looking away, she didn't care, he was good company, but if he didn't want to sit by her, than that was fine with her.
He walked away but turned around and came back.
"Thought you said you didn't want to sit by me!," she said raising her eyebrows, "Hmm?"
"Oh, just be quiet."
"Can do."
***
Class was the same as all the others, but Prof. Flitwick gave them a paper to write on a famous healer.
***
"So how come you did tell us that you knew who the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher was?' Blaise asked. He had joined them outside of the Charms classroom. They were now all walking down to the Slytherin common room together.
"Because," she said pulling out her shirt from the waste band of her skirt, "I didn't know that he was going to be the teacher. I mean I keep in touch with him some, but I only received one letter from him this summer."
"Oh, I see."
"He is such a nice guy. He is so funny, too, if you ever get sometime to talk in a casual conversation with him. One time when I was little, we got these crtificates for something, I don't remember what for, but he spelled my name wrong. So he went to go change it, because he was the one who filled the out. He came back on it said Weird-do Stanford, and he tried to make me take it and I did. Then he gave me the real one, I still have them both I think.
"Hilarious!" Draco said in a mocking tone.
"It was," she said giving him a glare. Her shirt was untucked and her tie was loosened, she looked as though she was trying to make a fashion statement. But really she was just trying to be comfortable.
