The first lesson of the day was potions, which would be with the Slytherins, this would be the most taxing lesson for them all. The boys were the first to arrive and took the seats at the back of the classroom where they could hide from the girls when they finally arrived.
The bell sounded and still they hadn't arrived and Malfoy wasn't happy about it.
"Black where is Dixon?"
"I don't know Professor."
James muttered something that caused Sirius to nod.
"What was that Mr Potter?"
"I said she's probably in the library looking up some more illegal curses to use on us."
"She knows more spells than there are in that library Potter and if she really wanted to use them she'd do it before you even knew she was there."
Everyone turned and looked at the door Branwen was standing there with her hands on her hips scowling at the four Gryffindor boys in a way that sent shivers through them.
"Where have you been Ddraig and where are the rest of the girls?"
"They may turn up at some point during the lesson professor but I wouldn't count on it."
"What does that mean Ddraig?"
"Lily is with Professor McGonagall she is in a bit of a state and refusing to leave the dorm room thanks to four certain boys."
At this point she shot an even dirtier look at the four boys seated in the back row.
"Alice and Ginny are in the hospital wing where the nurse is trying to remove the curses that have been put on them by four certain boys."
By this point Branwen had entered the room and was standing right next to Sirius as she smiled at the Professor.
"And Amanda is with the headmaster talking about her punishment for using the Freezing horror curse on three idiots."
At this point Branwen smacked Sirius across the back of the head and caused him to mutter something under his breath.
The professor looked shocked by this news and just stared at the young girl as she took a seat in front of the boys and pulled out her things for the lesson.
After several minutes of staring at the Gryffindors Malfoy finally gained herself and began the lesson only a matter of ten minutes after the bell had sounded.
"Alright class today we will be learning about a mild sleeping potion."
There came a quick knock on the door and then it swung open and everyone turned at the noise. Amanda stormed in and looked around the room, her eyes fell straight onto the boys in the back row of the room and she moved towards them ignoring the looks of everyone else.
"Black, Dumbledore wants you in his office this minute. You in trouble."
He looked around at everyone
"Me! What about them, I didn't do anything."
"Oh he'll be seeing all four of you, he's just starting with you Black."
"Stop calling me that Dixon!"
"No now get going Black."
Sirius was on his feet looking down at the girl in front of him with hatred.
"Where's all this attitude come from then Dixon, you use to be decent."
"Decent, decent who the hell are you to talk about decent, dragon meat, beards, uniforms, blue faces, green hair."
Amanda pulled at her hair at this point.
"I'll tell you where the attitude came from, you created it Black and if you don't watch out you'll feel the end of my wand again and that first spell that was nothing compared to some of the stuff I know, after all you said it yourself I'm a Dixon and you never mess with a Dixon. Isn't that right Aunt Victoria?"
For the first time everyone remembered where they were and turned to look at their teacher.
"That is correct miss Dixon, now if you wouldn't mind taking your seat while Mr Black leaves and we'll get on with the lesson."
Sirius shot a look at the other's terror all over his face and moved towards the door where he stopped to look around.
"You know what Mand, you started this with your stupid prank on Snape at the feast, we were only getting you back on his behalf."
He smiled a smug smile and left the room.
"That was you, you did that to me! I'll get you for that one Dixon!"
"Oh shut up Snape, you know you won't do anything, you'll end up in trouble and then your father will have something to say about it, and at least it was only me, I did it because I love you, I wanted everyone to see how much."
"THAT'S ENOUGH! TEN POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR FOR THAT PRANK ON THE FIRST NIGHT. ANOTHER TEN POINTS FOR THE DISTRACTION IN TODAYS LESSON."
Everyone fell silent as the lesson proceeded. Sirius didn't return at all during the lesson and by the time the bell rang Gryffindor had lost fifty points due to the remarks yelled around the room. Malfoy allowed everyone to leave as she held her niece back.
"Amanda what has happened to your hair?"
"My hair, oh that would be the boys. They got into our dorm room last night and replaced Alice's shampoo with this stuff, but they managed to knock mine over at the same time."
"So is that were Miss Scott is?"
"Yes, she's having the colour taken out of her hair and before you ask they put something in Ginny's make-up she's got a blue face so she's having her face sorted out."
"Why haven't you gone to the hospital wing?"
At that moment the door opened again and fourth years entered the room. Muttering was instantly heard as the Slytherins took the front seats and the Gryffindors found the back of the room.
"Silence! Please get your books out while I finish with this student."
"You asked me why I haven't gone to the hospital wing, while there are two reasons, first after I cursed the boys Andromeda sent me straight to Dumbledore and I was with him until I entered your room, I couldn't go to the hospital wing as I had to get Black. However, there is no point this will wear out by tomorrow and it is a reminder of what they have done."
"Well Miss Dixon I believe that you are late for your next lesson, you should go."
"Yes Professor!"
"Look at her hair, I wonder who did that."
"If you must know Lucius, though it is not your business it was Black, Pettigrew, Potter and Lupin."
Then she stormed out of the room leaving a very shocked looking Slytherin.
