Chapter 4
Getting Ready and First Classes
The next morning was one of headaches and upsets stomachs, but if as many people who had been at the party the night before had been out sick, something surly would have been suspected.
She washed her hair and brushed her teeth. Blew dry her hair and then threw it back into a messy bun, with a few loose hair hanging down here and there. She put on her makeup, and then went back to her dorm to dress.
She pulled up her skirt, and then on her shirt; pulled up her green – knee- high – stockings, and slipped her dress shoes on. (She wore no vest over her blouse.) The next thing to go on where her robes, long and black, with the Slytherin emblem on her left breast.
She was ready to go.
She carefully, so as not upset her stomach more, made her way over to the dungeons. (She would eat nothing.) Once there she said her friendly hellos to "Professor Snape". Shortly after, every one arrived to Double Potions.
Every one of the Slytherin 6th year students showed up, looking the same way Kelsey felt; all but two, that is. Half way through the class she felt she couldn't hold it in any more. She raised her hand.
"Yes, Kelsey?"
Every one's mouth dropped open in shock; and the people who weren't paying attention before, Slytherins, were defiantly now. Every one was incredibly surprised, if not by what he said, than surely by how he said it. He always addressed people by their last names.
"Umm... Professor, I don't feel so well, may I be excused to go to the hospital wing?"
He walked over to her and crouched down. "What's the matter?" he asked concerned.
"It's my stomach, I feel sick."
He walked back to the front of the dungeon and grabbed a vial from upon his desk, filled with a clear liquid. "Take this, you'll feel better." Every one was very surprised by this interaction. "Why didn't you just go straight to the hospital wing this morning?" he asked in the same, kind, tone.
"Because, I didn't want to miss you're class of course. You know how much I love it."
He got very close to blushing, or close for him anyway, but only smiled in uncommon smile and proceeded to teach the class.
After class – as Kelsey headed off to her next – Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked up next to her, looking at her oddly. "If you want to say something, just go ahead and say it."
Harry was the one to speak. "How come Snape treats you like that; better than Malfoy; he loves Malfoy."
"Professor Snape?" she laughed, "He is my dear Uncle Severus, well second cousin actually, but I call him my uncle."
They each went their separate ways, each to their own classes. When their third class of the day had ended the whole school made their way down to the Hall for lunch before getting their books and proceeding to their next classes.
"What've you got next?" asked Courtney through a bite of a sandwich.
"Ugg... Defense Against the Dark Arts, what about you?" answered Kelsey.
"Trelawny," responded Amber.
"Yeah same here Courtney added.
"Right then," said Amber, "we'll see you later."
They parted and went their separate ways, Courtney and Amber to Divination and Kelsey to D.A.D.
