New Beginnings: 5
After they ate breakfast Percy started handing out the timetables to the Gryffindors.
After recieving theirs Lauren and George quickly disapeared not bothering to say where they were
headed. Harry, Ron, and Hermione, now having finished their meal decided to get to their first
class but soon found themselves hopelessly lost in a corridor that was very unfamiliar to them.
"uh oh" said Harry
"oh shit! where do we go?"
"now calm down you two, i remember seeing a map in Hogwarts a history" the other two
sighed with relief
"however, i can't remember what it looked like..."
"oh a lot of bloody help THAT does us now doesn't it Harry?!" Hermione just huffed
"and i suppose you could say something better?" "in fact i could!" Just then a very
ruffled, very embarrassed looking Lauren came out of a secret passageway in the wall. When Ron
saw her he grinned making her giggle nervously. Harry was the first to speak.
"what were you doing?" he asked
"nevermind Harry, thats not important, but you three look lost, where are you trying to
get to? i can have you there in two minutes!" she said quickly changing the topic.
"ummm, we need to get to Transfiguration" Hermione piped up.
"easy enough, follow me" and she took them back through the passage she first came
through winding them through tunnels. Harry and Hermione had a few questions.
"no really lauren what were you doing in here and why is you neck red?" Harry asked.
"well even though i dont think it's any of your business i'll tell you because you're my
baby brother and i like you, i was getting reaquainted if you will with george, now hurry up and
follow me so you guys aren't late for class!"
"how do you know that this passage will take us where we need to go?" asked Hermione.
"because i know this school like i know the back of my hand i kow where every passage and
corridor leads" she answered simply.
"oh...i see...how?"
"because, you don't date one of the worst trouble makers in the school without learning a
few tricks"
"i see"
"through here" Lauren led them to a hidden stone door and opened it, they were right
outside the Transfiguration classroom! "i gotta go for Herbology, see you guys later!" she
disapeared behind the hidden door once again and left them to enter the class with seconds to
spare.
Lauren returned out the passage she came when she found Harry Ron and Hermione. But when
she cam out, she saw another lost first year. It was none other than Draco Malfoy, he looked very
upset and very lost looking up and down the hallways for any sign of something he recognized.
Draco looked up and down the halls, he had no idea wher he was or which way he was
supposed to go. He turned around and to his great surprise saw the woman he had been dreaming
about walking towards him grinning. Lauren
walked up to him.
"hey hows it goin'?" she asked looking at the starry eyed Draco. however, in his light-
headed ness, he could only stammer.
"gell diuy dalkaborelli" was all he could manage.
"hey, hold on their gel boy, now tell me your name and where your trying to get to so i
can help you out" she said eyeing him, he didn't look stable.
Draco however was trying to untie his tongue and the only sensible thing he could get out
now was "are you an angel?" before he smacked himself on the head.
Lauren looked at him, a small smirk played on her lips, she liked this little kid, he was
cute, and rather amusingly upfront. "awww! thank you!" Draco blushed scarlet. "so, where are you
trying to go? are you lost?"
"umm....yeah...."
"whats your name"
"Malfoy, Draco Malfoy"
"so, where are you trying to go?"
"ummm, Transfiguration" he said meekly. Lauren groaned
"i just came from there! oh well, come on, you're already late and so am i, Professor
Sprout is going to kill me."
Lauren ran quickly through the doors of the greenhouses and hurredly said "i'm sorry for
being late Professor! i had to help a group of lost first years, including my brother, find their
class, please forgive me for taking so long" she gave a small smile and ran over to Goerge who
had saved her a seat and was waiting for her with a big flashy grin on his face. Lauren sat down
and looked beside her where there was another empty space.
As if on cue Saria came bursting through the doors with a wide grin on her face, the
teacher asked her where she had been since Saria didn't offer any information, she said something
else to the teacher but in a much louder voice than Lauren did, and it was much different as
well.
"hello professor! i'm sorry and i have absolutely no legitimate reason for my lateness
except for the fact that i am one lazy pixie!" her grin grew wider as Snape came running in
panting.
"damnit! you don't have to be so upfront! and here, you forgot all your books!" he handed
Saria her bag full of textbooks and notebooks because the only thing she braught with her was
her green travelling cloak. "have a good day Saria" he said and turned to leave, only to take a
few steps and turn back blushing. He had just been caught acting like he cared about her like a
parent/gaurdian.
"bye bye uncle Severus! thank you for the books! even though you didn't stop nagging me
about them"
"i do not nag, i remind"
"same difference!"
"no it isn't! just remember your books!"
"your nagging!"
"reminding"
"nagging"
"oh forget it! just sit down!"
"what! no good bye hug!? nothing?"
Snape groaned "no!"
"yes"
"no"
"yes!"
"fine!" he quickly hugged her and left "and don't forget your books at the end of class!"
"NAG!" she recieved no answer as he decided to ignore her. She quickly grinned and walked
over to sit with Lauren ignoring all the other Slytherins making vigorous gestures for her to sit
beside them. She ran right up and sat beside Lauren recieving an evil glare from Lee who was
shoving his seet farther and farther away from her and a look that seemed to scream 'get away
from my girl you evil bitch!' from George, it wasn't welcoming, atleast not to a normal person it
wouldn't be. Saria however, was not normal and she turned to Lee and leaned in close to him so
that their noses were almost touching and he began to sweat "....do i scare you?" he didn't
answer, she leaned in closer so that her nose was pressed up against his "....BOO!" Lee went
toppling off of his seat earning laughs from Saria and the rest of the Slytherins and the
Gryffindors glared at Saria some more.
"Saria! 10 points from Slytherin!"
"for asking a question? seems rather unfair!"
"for disturbing the class and coming in late!"
Saria shrugged and turned to Lee offering him her hand with a smile "want some help?" he
glared at her and got himself up. He didn't look in that direction for the rest of the lesson.
"boy, you guys sure know how to welcome a girl!" Saria whispered to Lauren.
"it's just because you're a Slytherin, and a Snape, your rep has been set, and it isn't a
good one either, and by being mean to Lee, though it was rather amusing, your just reinforcing
it!" again Saria shrugged.
"reps can be destroyed as easily as they are made, and thats one of my intentions here"
she said simply and began to work.
