"Welcome all Slytherin first years and welcome back all returning years." The black haired man said, still sneering but with pride in his eyes. "I am the head of your house and the Hogwarts Potions master, Professor Snape. I expect you all to treat me with respect as well as the other Professors. As you may or may not know Slytherin has won the house and Quidditch cups for seven years and running. Take notice that your behavior and skill continue it or eliminate it." He said quietly.

Harry looked at Draco, trying not to laugh but couldn't help the snicker when he saw Draco's conceded look. Snape glanced at the two of them, debating whether to say something or not but decided to ignore it.

"I expect everyone to do well in their classes and to take it upon themselves to keep it that way. I also expect your behavior to be satisfactory. If I hear someone who is not following up to these standards I will take it upon personally upon myself to put you back on these standards."

Snape to a moment to glare around the room. Most of the first years shuttered, while the older students looked at the ground, attempting to hold in their laughter. They had all wondered if they were shaking like that when the got the "be good or else" speech.

At the beginning of every year the potions professor tried to give the most intimidating speech he could come up with, just to make sure the first years didn't go out of control. After a couple weeks of good behavior Snape would lighten up.

"I will not tolerate name calling, hexing, or fighting within this house. If you are having a problem with one of you house mates, come to see me directly. You may go." And with a final swish of his cloak, he left.

"Well," one of the Slytherin perfects, Jack Dean, said. "First year boys follow me and first year girls follow her." He pointed to the other perfect, a girl named Amy West. "Everyone else, you know where your dorms are."

Harry, Draco, Blaise, Crabbe, and Goyle all headed to their dorms quietly. All the boys settled down and got ready for bed going through their trunk that had been brought up. Harry took one look at the empty owl's cage and started getting worried.

"Draco," Harry asked hesitantly. Draco grunted to show he was listening. "Do you know were they put Sky?" Harry actually had no idea who "they" were but someone had to bring up their stuff.

"Don't worry, I asked already. The house elves put both our owl's in the school owlery." Draco said while getting into bed. "I'll ask someone tomorrow where it is." He finished with a yawn.

Harry nodded and got in bed too, but before he got to sleep, he remembered something. "Wait a minute, what's a house elf?"

IVI IVI IVI

The next morning all the Slytherins were eating breakfast when the mail came. Harry didn't get a letter; he wasn't expecting one, because he knew that Azi and his family didn't have any owls. Besides, Harry told them he would write first. After breakfast Draco and he were going to ask someone about the owlery.

But Draco did get mail. His dad had to send over a forgotten History book. This made Draco blush but Harry laugh. A few minutes later they got their timetables. The first thing they had was double transfiguration with Ravenclaw, then lunch, then History and Potions.

After breakfast Harry and Draco got Jack Dean, the Slytherin perfect, to show them where the owlery was. Harry quickly found Sky and wrote a short note to Azi asking him to come and visit. The entire time Draco stood in the doorway scowling while Jack Dean looked from Draco to Harry with a smirk on his face. Without a word he left Harry and Draco to find the transfiguration classroom for them selves.

They got there just in time and both sat at a two person table together. Harry looked around the room and saw Terry. He waved at his Ravenclaw friend then continued. Terry was the only Ravenclaw he had met personally but he recognized the faces of some of the other from either the train ride or the sorting. Harry realized that most of the Ravenclaws were staring at him and whenever he noticed them, they would blush and quickly turn away.

One of the girls actually looked scared when he looked at her but turned around a saw Draco sending her and the rest of the curious group death glares.

Harry elbowed Draco lightly in the side. "Stop being mean." He whispered but his attention was focused on the grey, black, and white tabby cat sitting on Professor McGonagall's desk.

All the sudden that cat transformed into the strict looking teacher. Harry, along with the rest of the class, gasped in shock. "Good morning class..."

IVI IVI IVI

Before Harry knew it, it was already time for his first Potions class. But this time the Slytherins had it with the Gryffindors. Draco had been complaining about them since lunch but he couldn't be right about them, well at least all of them. He had said that they were the worst thing in the world. Harry had scowled at this. Veronica had told him that his parents were Gryffindor.

Draco had said the all Gryffindors were all too golden hearted for their own good. That they were reckless, careless, and thought of no one but themselves. They weren't cunning or sly but clumsy, stupid, and obnoxious. Harry had not agreed or disagreed, he had to wait to find out for himself.

Harry and Draco had reached the Potions class room ten minutes early, so they sat down and waited for the rest of the class to come. All the Slytherin were there by the time the first Gryffindor came. It was the girl with the bushy brown hair and she, at least, seemed nice enough. Willing to prove Draco wrong, Harry attempted to start a conversation with her but all she did was just nod and read her potions book.

Draco looked at the defeated Harry and then to the girl. "Told you," he said quietly. "They think of no one but them selves."

Harry just stuck out his tongue, still not believing that all the Gryffindors were like that. More people kept arrive but Harry didn't try to make friends but about one minute before the bell rang three Gryffindor boys walked in, talking loudly. One had orange hair, another had sandy blonde hair, and a tall black boy.

Draco leaned over to Harry and whispered as they were walking by. "Loud, stupid, obnoxious." Harry put his head into Draco's arm and laughed into his shoulder. The orange hair boy stopped but the other two boys ignored them and found their seats in the back.

"Excuse me?" the boy said loudly, trying to draw attention to himself, which just made Harry laugh harder.

"Nothing." Draco said in a slick voice and waved his hand as to dismiss the boy.

"You're a Malfoy aren't you?" The boy continued, by now the whole class was watch and Harry was just beginning to control his laughter. "Of course you are. All Malfoys are the same, greedy, evil, and snake-like." He said the last word with a leer, which made Harry lose what control he was gaining and to start laughing again.

When the boy went to walk away Draco stuck out his foot and tripped him. "And all Weasley are the same, Stupid, clumsy, and poor." Weasley was up in a second. That's when he noticed Harry. He stared at Harry's scar then at his face.

"And you must be Potter," he said, his voice losing it's hard edge. "To bad you got put on the wrong side of things. You know, being sorted into Slytherin and all, but I guess we could still maybe become friends." He gave Harry a searching look before smiling and extending his hand. "I'm Ron."

As Harry went to shake it, Draco slapped Ron's hand down. "Now why would he want to be friends with the likes of you?" Draco sneered.

Ron put down his hand the rest of the way and scowled. "You're right; he was probably training to be the next Dark Lord. Studying the Dark Arts, I mean, why else would he be sorted into Slytherin with a snake like your self." Ron walked into the last row of seats in the back row, at the same table with a chubby blonde hair Gryffindor. Harry and Draco looked at each other and both started laughing.

"Are you two done yet?" a smooth voice said in front of them. Harry immediately stopped laughing and Draco still chuckled a bit at the Potions Professor. Harry looked down at the table.

"Sorry, sir." Harry said quietly. Draco just winked at his Godfather. Snape just continued the class anyway. Harry's eye lit up with excitement when the Professor started asking the Gryffindors potions ingredients. Harry quickly began taking notes not wanting to miss a thing but most importantly not want to disappoint the head of his house.

Hey everyone, I'm out of the hospital thanks for all the reviews, I'm actually going to do responses right now, but just to let everyone know that my stitches dissolve, which is really gross but whatever and that it was sort of my fault I got bit because we were diving at the time and thought it would be fun to hold on to in, but man, bull sharks are aggressive. I have a picture of it and I got to ride in an ambulance!! Nice and mean Ron votes are at the bottom.
