First Day
"Hey, wake up!" Harry was startled awake by one of his new roomates."Hmm..." was the reply. "Hey Harry, come on, wake up you're gonna miss breakfast!" said the same voice. He thought it was Ron.Then someone opened the curtains around his bed, this time it was Seamus grinning at him."Come on, Harry you don't want to be late on your first day of classes". That got Harry's attention...his first day of classes at Hogwarts...he couldn't believe it."Alright, I'm up" He said while getting out of bed rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
After a ten minute shower he got dressed in his new Gryffindor uniform and went to the Great Hall with all the other fifth year boys. When they got to the Gryffindor table they found some empty seats besides the girl that introduced Harry to his roommates. Her name was...Hermione?...yes, that was it. "Hello boys, here are your timetables" she said with barely concealed excitment at the prospect of classes.
"Oh no, we have McGonagall and Snape with the Slytherins today" moaned Ron. "Snape for second period....I pity you" said one of the twins faking sympathy."My father has talked about him" said Harry, everyone turned to look at him "They went to school together, they were in the same year" Harry answered the silent question. "Were they friends?" asked Ron looking skeptical. "No, at least I don't think so. My father's bestfriends always came to visit but he never did." said Harry. "Visit you where?...I mean everyone says that your family went into hiding but nobody knew where." Said Ron, looking very curious. "Don't be nosy, Ron." Hermione said looking at Ron with disapproval but you could tell that politeness was the only thing keeping her from asking the same question. "Oh no that's okay, I don't mind. Well, my family and I have been in a place called ''Safe Haven" all these years. I can't tell you where it is because honestly I don't know." said Harry. "What do you mean?" asked Ron with a raised eyebrow. " Well, it was this magically warded place in the middle of nowhere and I was never allowed to cross the boundaries" Harry snorted" I was only alllowed outside to play quidditch and there were wards around out backyard too so I couldn't fly past a certain distance" he said looking a little angry about this."But, my brother was allowed outside a few times and he told me that we were somewhere in South Africa."
"You mean you lived somewhere with no one but your family?" asked Seamus in disbelief.
"Yes, I lived with my mum, dad and Jeremy, sometimes Sirius, my Godfather and his boyfriend would visit in like holidays and stuff and some of my mum's friends but other than that, yeah. That was why I was looking forward so much to coming to Hogwarts" finished Harry. "Why did come, I mean now, why now, what's different?" asked Seamus. "I don't know, my parents got some mail from Professor Dumbledore and decided to come back" said Harry.
"Why were you gone in the first place, I mean with you-know-who gone and all?" asked Ron ."Well he was gone but a lot of his followers were free and angry so Professor Dumbledore told my parents it was the safest thing to do, and my parents were so scared after the attack that they didn't hesitate" finished Harry. "Oh no we're gonna be late for transfiguration!" exclaimed Hermione she got up, grabbed her book bag and was out of the great hall in seconds. Harry and the others stood up and did the same but in a less hurried fashion.
They made it to Prof. McGonagall's classroom in five minutes and when they arrived everyone turned in their seats to look at them the students in the left side of the classroom were sniggering and Harry couldn't help but notice that all of them were wearing green and silver ties, while on the other side all were wearing scarlett and gold ties. "I don't tolerate tardiness, five points from Gryffindor each, seat" said McGonagall pointing to a table with four empty seats."Today we will be transforming socks into blankets, now the incantation is as important as the wand movement remember move your wrist in small circles clockwise twice and then a sharp flick" she said while demonstrating, in seconds where there was a yellow sock now stood a pale green blanket. Harry already knew how to do this, his father was very good at transfiguration and had been tutoring him and Jeremy since they could hold their wands.
So his white sock was a sky blue blanket in seconds, Hermione turned her lavender sock into a purple blanket and Ron only managed to make his sock huge but it still was better than Neville who apparently let go of his wand around the sharp flick sending it straight to the head of a slytherin girl with blonde hair. "I'm sorry!" said Neville blushing "Ahh, you idiot!" shrieked the girl. "Can't you do anything right?!?...You're an embarrassment to pureblooded wizards" She was looking at Neville with disgust. "He said he was sorry!" exclaimed Harry. Neville hadn't really spoken to him but he seemed nice and he had apologized. "Oooh, Harry Potter savior of the blundering idiots now, are you? she said in a mock voice. "Maybe you didn't notice but I was defending Neville not you" Harry retorted. She was looking really angry now Harry could tell because her face was so red but then "I will not tolerate this in my classroom, ten points from Gryffindor and Slytherin each, Mr. Potter, Ms. Parkinson one more word and its detention, understand?."
"Yes, Professor" chorused Harry and Pansy both giving death-glares to each other but then Pansy laid back in her chair muttering about filthy half- bloods revealing the most beautiful boy Harry had ever seen he hadn't seen this boy last night or when he got in but how could he miss him?...he had beautiful silvery blond hair that almost made his whole face glow and deep blue -or was it gray?- definitely gray eyes that seemed draw you in and then the boy turned his head a little and looked at Harry straight in the eye and Harry fell a tingle go through his spine and his hands started shaking he had never fell anything like it when it seemed like he couldn't breathe the boy looked away, and even though Harry was glad he couldn't help the little disappointing feeling at not having those eyes on him.
Harry was walking down the corridors with all the Gryffindor fifth year boys and Hermione, they were on their way to the dungeons for potions class. Harry was looking around trying to find the blond boy when he spotted him walking a little ahead with two big boys standing behind him like bodyguards and that Parkinson girl and a brown-haired boy walkingon either side of him. "Hey Hermione who are they?" asked Harry trying to look nonchalant. "Oh, that's Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle and you've already met Pansy Parkinson, the other boy -the one with the brown hair is Blaise Zabini and in the middle that's Draco Malfoy, he's a slytherin prefect and sort of their leader." she said looking at them with dislike. She was saying something but Harry was in his on little world...Draco Malfoy....I like it...hmmm... "....but I think there's something behind his being mean...Harry?....are you listening?" she said looking at him with a little concern. "Wha?...Oh yeah...er..sorry what was that?" he said shaking his head a little trying to get Draco out of it." We're here. she opening the door to the potions classroom.
They were some of the first ones in. Slowly more students got in and then....BANG...the door was opened with such force that it hit the wall and bounced back and closed loudly. "Today we will be making dreamless sleep potion, the instructions are on the board. Fifteen minutes later about twenty cauldrons were simmering."Right now your potions should be a lavender color"...Harry's was blue..."What is this, Potter?"asked Prof. Snape sneering. "I don't know what went wrong, Professor" said Harry a little nervous "Do you know how to read Potter?...second line clearly states to add the dried billywig stings an 1/8 of a teaspoon at a time and then stir seven times counter-clockwise...ten points from Gryffindor!" the last part was spat.
Lunch time came as a blessing. "I guess now you know for sure that your father and Snape didn't get along" said Ron. "What's his problem, anyway?" asked Harry to no one in particular.
"Oh, don't worry Harry I don't think is personal, Snape is mean to everyone but the slytherins."
Said Seamus, but Harry had the impression that it was personal.
After lunch he went to Gryffindor tower alone to get his books for his afternoon classes when he was on his way down to the second floor the staircase started to change directions, he was startled but then remembered Hermione saying something about it last night the real suprise was when he looked down he realized that he wasn't alone. "Hello" said Harry shyly to the beautiful blond boy. "Hi, where are you heading?" he asked. It took Harry a moment to realized he needed to answer the question."Er...herbology this is the second class I'm going to be late for today" said Harry after looking at the book and protective gloves in his arms. "I'm heading there too, you'll be fine Sprout is the head of Hufflepuff house, the whole lot of them are a bunch of pushovers." replied the boy smirking.
"Anyway, I'm Harry" he said while extending his hand to the other boy." I know, everyone does, I'm Draco." he said making Harry blush when he felt the hand of the blond slytherin... it was large and warm...Harry stop it! he said to himself. They turned a corner and bumped into Harry's brother Jeremy. "Hey I was looking for you, mum and dad want us to have dinner with them tonight, probably so you can tell them how much you miss them on your first day" he said rolling his eyes. Harry was blushing, how could Jeremy say something like that in front of Draco?...why do I care?...."So remember instead of the great hall you have to go to their quarter you know the password....Who are you?" asked Jeremy spotting Draco for the first time. "Jeremy this is Draco, Draco this is my brother Jeremy, I think he was adopted" Harry whispered the last part but Jeremy heard them none the less and mock glared at him. "Are you the son of Lucious Malfoy?" asked Jeremy suspiciously looking at Draco."Yes" said Draco with his nose in the air. "Well, I'll see you tonight Harry" he said walking away and still looking at Draco the same way. They got to the green houses ten minutes late and even though Prof. Sprout told them off for being late she didn't take points. But when Harry and Draco arrived together everyone, slytherins and gryffindors alike were staring at them with desbelief. A gryffindor and a slytherin walking beside each other without hex marks all over. When Harry looked at Draco he noticed the change immediately his eyes were cold and he was looking at Harry with dislike he went over to his slytherin friends and as soon as he sat down they started whispering to him no doubt questioning why Harry could walk or had both ears or something...Harry never took his eyes off of him.
A/N: If anyone wants to give me any ideas about Jeremy's partner they'd be most welcome. I was thinking a girl but I'm not sure.
