First Days Part one

Irene rolled over grumbling at the annoying hissing that was going on beside her ear.

Misssssstressss you musssst wake.

"Go way," she mumbled and rolled over again only to find air as she rolled off the bed and landed on the floor with a thump. Rene sat up and looked around the room blearily.

Ok, ok, Basss, I'm awake, she said as she stumbled to her feet and over to her cupboard and grabbing some black robes before entering her bathroom and got ready for the day. Walking out she grabbed a pair of dragonhide boots and put them on, followed by her outer robes. Her wand was placed in the holster on her arm. She left her hair down and it fell past her waist in gentle waves. Leaning down she let her snake wind its way up her arm coming to a rest with his head wrapped around the back of her neck and down into the hollow of her throat. Glancing over to her clock beside her bed she saw it was 7:30. Shrugging she walked over to the door leading to the Slytherin Common Room and opened it, coming face to face with Draco Malfoy.

"Ummm...morning," she said blinking at him in surprise.

Malfoy smirked, "Good morning," he said stepping back, "Welcome to the Slytherin Common Room."

As he moved his arm to show off the room, Pansy Parkerson who was on the other side of the room sauntered over.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" she said mockingly, "Ahhh...yes, the little Australian in the Snake House. How charming."

Draco's eyes narrowed slightly, Irene was a Slytherin, and Slytherins stuck together. Before he could say anything to Pansy, Irene stalked forward and began circling the girl in front of her, like she was some sort of prey.

"Sssssssso you mussssst be the housssse bitch," she hissed as she studied Pansy, "How charming for you. Do you know anything of the sssschool I came from?"

Pansy shook her head, paling at Irene's voice while the rest of the house looked on.

"We were ssssplit up into Housessss ssssimilar to Hogwartssss. My Houssse, the Housssse of the Dragon was the mossst feared. We did not tolerate crap from anyone. You would do well to remember that Missssss Parkersssssson," Irene's voice was cold and silky by the end of her speech and an angry hissing could be heard from within her robes. She smirked at the girl in front of her before turning with a swish of her robes and heading towards the exit. Draco and several of the older Slytherins glared at Pansy before leaving the Common room and following Irene to breakfast.

"Irene, wait up!" Draco called as he went out the concealed door in the wall. Rene stopped and screwed up her nose at her name.

"Please, if you want to call me anything, call me Rene. Only my parents or my godfather call me Irene," she said as she looked at Draco and the rest of the Slytherins who were with him, "And is there something else you wanted?"

"Yes, there was," Draco said, "I wanted to apologise for Parkerson, she had no right to do that. Us Slytherins are not liked much by the other Houses so we have all promised to protect those in our house, Parkerson just broke that rule."

Rene smiled but it wasn't friendly, "I understand Draco. I guess I should tell you lot what my old House used to call me."

Draco and the others looked confused, "What do you mean?"

"At my old school those of Dragoon House were rather different. We each had names used within the House. Mine was 'Gamester'," she said as she started walking off towards the Great Hall.

"Why did they call you that?" Draco asked curiously.

"Simple, Blondie, I like to play games and manipulate people. Its rather fun."

Draco and the others following smiled, Rene would be useful if they needed her help. Upon entering the Great Hall, Rene split off from the group of Slytherins and headed over to Gryffindor and plonked down beside Raya with her back facing the table.

"Good morning Raya, how are you today?" she said smirking at her friend.

Bleary eyes glared at her from behind glasses.

"Mmmm, ok," Raya mumbled, "Do you still have my wand?"

Rene grinned and pulled the desired object from her robes and handed it to her sleepy friend, who took no notice of the large fluro pink bow on the end as she put it into her robes. Rene snicked and flashed a grin to the bushie haired girl beside Raya.

"Hullo there, I'm Irene," she said looking at the girl.

"Hello, I'm Hermione Granger, my friends across from us are Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter," she replied smiling, "Your not a pureblood fanatic like most Slytherins are, are you?"

Rene shook her head negatively, "Nah, don't see the point," she replied as she stood up, "Love to stay and chat, but I want something to eat before class. See ya!" she nodded a goodbye and wandered over to the Slytherin table before sitting down beside Draco.

"You do know you were just sitting at the Gryffindor table?" he asked.

"Yeah, I was talking to my sister… well adoptive sister anyway," Rene answered as she got herself something to eat.

Just as she finished eating the post came in along with a bird that was not an owl. It was a large black and white sea eagle carrying a wicker basket. The eagle swooped down to the Gryffindor table, and deposited the basket in front of Raya, then perched down next to her on the seat between Raya and Hermione.

Raya perked up, instantly awake, crying, "Skye! Oh, Skye! It's good to see you! What have you brought me?"

The eagle looked at the basket and gave a small screech.

"Oh! You bought me mangoes!" Raya said, "How thoughtful of you!" Raya picked up the letter that went with it.

'Raya, my dear, I know how fond you are of these fruits, so I sent Skye off to Australia to get some for you. Share some with Irene, as I know she likes them too.

Always your Uncle Alby'

Ron asked, "Is that your bird? What is it?"

"She's a black and white sea eagle from the coast of Queensland. Skye fell out of the sky on me. Literally. She was still in her egg, which was pushed out of the nest by a pushy cuckoo bird; it would have smashed against the rocks below if I hadn't caught it. I then hatched it, and here she is. The best friend a girl could ask for," Raya said, stroking the bird's soft breast. Skye nipped her mistresses' fingers affectionately.

Harry just looked in awe at the huge eagle, "She is magnificent!" he exclaimed.

Perched on the seat beside Raya, Skye's head came up to her shoulder. Raya gave the eagle some leftover sausage and murmured something to it, and then the eagle took to flight and flew down out of the Great Hall and disappeared down the hallway towards her Common Room.

As Skye flew out, a large white cockatoo flew in and over to Nyoli. "Cockey!" Nyoli cried, "Do you have anything for me?" The cockatoo shook its crested head. "That's ok," Nyoli said reaching over and getting a small fruit from a basket near her place, and gave it to the bird. It took its prize in its claws and flew away, in the same direction that Skye had gone.

But it was the large reddish brown eagle, which came in next, which caught everyone's eye. It was unlike any bird they had ever seen before. The eagle landed gently on Irene's shoulder.

"Hey Comet," Rene said as she gave the bird a piece of bacon, "Any mail or are you just here for the sheer hell of it."

The eagle gave an indignant squawk and pulled the bow holding the letter to its leg, it landed in Irene's lap. Rene chuckled as she picked the letter up.

'Ahh, Irene would you meet me in my office this afternoon after your classes are finished.

The password is candy cane.

I'll be waiting.

Uncle Alby (Although I still can not figure out why you three still call me that)'

Rene chuckled again as she reached up and stroked Comet's breast. The eagle gently nipped her ear in a sign of affection. Draco sitting beside her was staring at the bird in rapt fascination.

"What type of bird is she?" he asked curiously.

"Comet's a wedge-tailed eagle. She's a local at back home," Irene replied as she picked up her schedule, noting with excitement she had Potions first off with the Gryffindors.

"Ok, so where the Potion Lab Draco?" she asked looking at the blond boy.

"Down in the dungeons. Guess we'd better go to class," Draco replied getting to his feet. Rene nodded and tapped Comet on the beak signalling to her that it was time to leave. Comet rose into the air and flew out of the Great Hall, again, going towards her mistress' Common Room, while Irene and the rest of the Slytherins left the Hall.

"Potions Rene?" Raya asked as she came up alongside her friend. An impish grin was her only answer, "Should of known."

"Why should you of known?" Hermione asked from behind her.

"Cause that and DADA are 'bout the only two classes that get her hyped like this," Raya replied indicating to her grinning friend.

Irene, Raya, and the Golden Trio walked into the Potion Room following the Slytherins.

Rene flashed a grin at Harry and co before skipping over and sitting down beside Draco.

"'Ello Draco," Rene said to the blond as she got her potions equipment out whistling cheerfully.

"Hi…" Draco replied staring in astonishment at the change in Irene.

◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊

Raya walked over and sat down beside Neville, she had been introduced to him earlier giving him a gentle smile she began unpacking her equipment. Just as she finished Snape stalked in.

"Welcome back to 6th year potions, although I am extremely surprised that some of you got into this class," he said with a pointed glare at Neville, "Today we will be doing a simple healing potion, you will be working with the person beside you so start. The information you need is on the board."

Raya mumbled something under her breath as she and Neville got to work. After about half an hour both of them were staring at the cauldron in worry, the potion was bright yellow instead of a light blue and seamed to be giggling.

"I don't think this is right Nev," Raya said staring at the potion. Draco who was walking passed them got smothered in the potion as it suddenly exploded. Irene who was behind him starred in astonishment as he turned to her and began spouting poetry …… love poetry.

"Umm Draco? You ok?" she asked as she began backing away from him and inching towards the door.

"My beautiful flower, will you love me for all time?" he said looking at her. And then to the astonishment of everyone present, especially Raya, Irene gave a loud squeak and then bolted from the room screaming about 'evil friends' and 'people out to get her'.

Leaving everyone in the class staring at the empty door and Snape shaking his head, while Draco began complaining about his loves disappearance.

◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊

Five minutes had passed since Irene had bolted from the room. Leaving the room in total silence before Snape finally got over his shock and turned on Neville and Raya with a formidable scowl.

"I though I had seen the lowest level of incompetence in Longbottom, but with you at his side, I am safe to say that even Potter is better than the two of you! HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO MAKE A HEALING POTION INTO A LOVE POTION!" By the end of his tirade he was almost yelling. While Raya and Neville had paled drastically.

"I'm sorry Professor but… atmyoldschoolicouldnevergetapotionrightanditalwaysbe camesomethingitwasentmeant tobeorelspload." She tried to explain. She only succeeded in making Snape angrier.

"ENOGPH." He bellowed. "OUT this class is suspended. Draco follow me and as for you Miss Harris I believe you should be looking for your friend." He growled before stalking out of the room pulling Draco with him.

'But I have no idea or any knowledge of Hogwarts how am I supposed to find her?' Raya protested looking at the potions masters retreating back in horror.

'I don't care find her.' Snape snapped over his shoulder.

'But…. But…. HOW THE HELL CAN I FIND HER SHES A FRIKEN SHADE.' Raya shrieked causing Snape to stop and spin on her in total shock.

'She's a…" he started. Before scowling. 'Well It looks like you had better head up to the headmasters office; I believe he should be able to help. Potter will take you, he's been up there enough times to know the way.' With that he lead Draco out and into his office where he had the antidote for the potion that had landed on him.

Leaving Raya staring at his retreating back in horror. Whimpering slightly she turned to Harry and co, eyes wide behind her glasses.

'Uncle Alby is going to kill me.' She whispered.
