Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter, not me, though it would be nice if I had, since I'd be rich, but either way, I own nothing already written or claimed by other people, and if they don't claim it, well finders keepers.
Summary: This story is supposed to be set a few years after the HP story. It won't contain very many of the official characters, except for the professors, of course. The rest will be made up by me. This is rated R because I'm too lazy to make sure it stays pg or pg-13.
The Tale of a Young Wizard
--------
Steven and Gregory sat down at the Slytherin table in the same place they had been that morning and began helping themselves to ham and turkey sandwiches. Some of the Slytherins were playing tricks on the Gryffindors by changing their sandwiches..into sand witches.
Sabrina sat down next to Steven in the same seat she had sat in that morning, which caused him to scoot rather frightfully towards Gregory, afraid that she would try and "get him back" for this morning. But, lucky for him, she hadn't seemed to notice he was there, and was chatting away like before with her friend, apparently about the same boy they had been talking about this morning.
"I can't believe he's in the hospital wing for at least a week...now what am I supposed to do?"
"Maybe it's for the best Sabrina, he was a Gryffindor, you can't honestly believe he'd date you?"
"A Gryffindor guy is alot better then a Slytherin guy...they know how to treat girls, unlike these stupid gits."
"Whatever you say Sabrina.."
He ignored the rest of their conversation and started talking to Gregory, the two of them were so caught up in their conversation about the DaDA class that neither of them noticed Sabrina stand up with her recently filled goblet of juice. That is, neither of them noticed until she poored it right on Steven's head.
"I told you I'd get you back." She said with a villainous grin, and walked away with her friend to her next class.
"Merlin, why me..." Steven asked rhetorically.
Gregory had to fight back his laughter at Steven, whose spikey black hair had been ruined by the juice, he cast a cleaning spell on Steven just before the juice could run into his Ice blue eyes.
"Cheer up mate, next class is Transiguration...maybe you can learn how to transfigure her into something..."
"That'd be funny.."
"There's a good boy, now let's get going or we'll be late."
--------
The two arrived just barely on time and took their seats. No teacher was present but a tabby cat was sitting on the teacher's desk, watching the students very intently. Suddenly the voice of Professor McGonagall fill the room.
"Students please quiet down and take your seats. Welcome to Transfiguration Basics, in this class you will learn the basics of Transfiguration, when you leave me at the end of this year, the best of you will know how to transfigure a person into an animal. The worst of you....will have very odd looking pets. Now if you will please open your book to page 102 and...why are you all staring around the room? Oh dear me..."
Professor McGonagall was an animagus who had the ability to change herself into a cat. On this occassion she had simply forgotten she had done so. And so quickly changed her form back, shocking the hell out of the rest of the class.
"I apologize for my forgetfulness students. Now if you will please open your books to page 102 we will get started."
The students all opened up their "A Testimony to Transfiguration" books and turned to a page which showed a picture of a wizard changing a glass pitcher into a small rodent, the spell was called transfiguro mus muris, if successful it would change the target into a small rat or mouse.
"Now students, I want you all to practice turning your pitchers into mice. I will award 5 points to the first student who does it flawlessly."
It wasn't too long before someone did it flawlessly, Sabrina changed her pitcher into a little white mouse, which she spent the next few minutes petting since her assignment for now was completed. Gregory attemped the spell but somehow managed to blow up his pitcher instead. McGonagall took five points from Slytherin for it, which balanced out the five points Sabrina had just earned. Steven attempted his and got it right after a few tries. It took a good 20 minutes until everyone was done,a few of the Gryffindors blew up their pitchers too like Gregory had done, but Gregory went through 5 pitchers before he finally got it done.
"Well I'm glad to see that I have some promising students in here." She nodded to Sabrina who smiled proudly. "But it seems I have some who just aren't cut out for transfiguration as well..." and her eyes settled on Gregory, who was sulking after failing miserably at the spell.
"Your assignment for tonight is to write a short essay on why this spell would be useful."
The students exited the class and started on their way to their next class, Charms. Sabrina was walking with her friend.
"I've got an idea...I'll really get him back for what he did."
Her friend cocked an eyebrow at her, "What the hell are you talking about Sabrina?"
"That spell we just learned would teach him a good lesson don't you think?"
"Oh drop it Sabrina, it was obviously an accident."
"I don't care! He wrecked my beautiful new robes! He's going to pay damnit!"
"Sabrina! Wait! You could get in major trouble for this!!"
She couldn't stop her, she was running to catch up with Gregory and Steven so that she could try out the fun new spell they just learned.
"Hey Steven!"
He stopped and turned around slowly, expecting another venomous glare, but he was met by a very sweet, very happy face. "W-what...?"
"I have something for you..."
Transfiguro Mus Muris!
Steven jumped out of the way before she even finished saying "mus" and Gregory, who had been looking on amusingly from behind Steven, didn't even have a chance to blink. Before they knew what happened, Gregory's robes were laying on the ground, and a little bump was moving around in them.
"Damnit! I missed again!!!" But suddenly she was interrupted.
"Dueling? In the halls!?? I had so much hope for you Miss Bolzar. And you too Mr. Indoval!" Professor McGonagall roared.
"But I didn't do anything! She used it on m-" "I'll have no excuses! You both will serve a week's detention with me! And 50 points will be deducted, each. I will take Mr. von Stein down to the hospital wing, you two get to class.."
They both stood their, jaws dropped and extremely embarassed.
"NOW!!!!!"
"Thanks alot you dick..."
"What the hell did I do!!??!"
They walked to Charms, but Steven stayed very far behind her, so as to not get another dose of her anger.
--------
They arrived late to class, and Professor Flitwick took 10 points each for being late to his class. They had already started working on the spell wingardium leviosa, a spell which could make things fly into the air. Because all the other seats were taken they had no choice but to sit next to each other, much to Sabrina's disappointment, she'd rather be with her friends, not this little Slytherin jerk. Then it dawned on her that she would be stuck with him in detention for a whole 5 days.
"Great.." she mumbled
Steven tilted his head at her, but she glared at him the minute he did, which caused him to nearly jump 10 feet and resume working on the spell they were learning.
"Why the hell does he act so weird around me...?" she wondered to herself.
The rest of the class was uneventful. Steven did his best to fight his urge to look over at the beautiful Slytherin next to him. He failed a few times and was met with a nasty glare for it, but most of the time he was able to keep his cool. His thoughts were split between wishing she didn't already hate him, and hoping Gregory would be cured for dinner...which was about to start.

Notes: and so the plot thickens...well not really...did i really add anything important in this chapter? or was it all just filler? stay tuned for answers to these and other pointless and unimportant questions such as: Will Sabrina stop hating Steven? Will he gain any sense of confidence? Will the metaphor for Gregory being turned into a mouse ever be discovered!? Review and get a free hug. Or somethin...
