Harry and Ron came down to the Great Hall for breakfast the next morning. Upon arriving, they saw Dawn and Hermione talking excitedly.
"How can you be so awake at this hour?" asked Ron as he plopped down next to Hermione grabbing a piece of toast.
"We're looking over our schedules," replied Hermione handing them each a piece of parchment, "here are yours. We have Transfiguration first hour together."
"At least it's not Double Potions with the Slitherins," sighed Harry.
" Don't get your hopes up, we have that second hour, Mate," grumbled Ron.
"What are your classes, Dawn?" asked Harry trying to peer over her shoulder to see her schedule.
"Well we have Transfiguration, Potions, and Care of Magical Creatures together," replied Dawn.
"That's great. I can show you around a little bit so you don't get lost," said Harry with a smile.
"Yeah, great," said Dawn who returned the smile with one of her own, but it didn't quite reach her eyes.
Professor Maganigal's Class
"Today, class, we are going to take a written test to see how much you remember from last year," announced the Professor handing out the test to the moaning students.
Slowly the students finished and turned in their test. "How do you think you did?" asked Hermione talking to Dawn after they both had finished.
"It was pretty easy if you ask me," Dawn said with a shrug.
"You thought that was easy! You're bloody nuts," exclaimed Ron.
Hermione rolled her eyes at her boyfriend's antics while Dawn just laughed. Eventually they were able to leave after everybody was done and McGonagal had dismissed them.
"Oh goody, we get Potions next," Harry said with false enthusiasm.
"It can't be that bad, can it?" asked Dawn.
"No, it's worse," stated Ron
They walked in and took seats next to each other just as Snape came in with his moody robe-swishing act telling them to quiet down.
"There is a potion on the board, get to work. You should know what to do by now." Snape said with a glare as he sat down at his desk and started some paperwork.
Glancing up about five minutes later, he scanned the room to make sure everyone was busy working. Seeing Dawn with her nose in a book, he got up and went to her table.
"Miss Light is there a reason why you are reading and not doing the assignment?" Snape sneered.
"Well I can't do the assignment," she stated simply, putting down her book.
"And why can you not do it?" Snape asked, now in his glaring mode.
"Because it involves doing magic," Dawn's replied as if the answer was right in front of him and he was refusing to see it.
"I know you have the power to do magic, Miss Light, so why are you not using it to create the potion?" Snape said about ready to give her detention.
"I can't because that would be Blasphemy against God."
