Chapter 10 ---------- First Day of Classes

==========================

Tom had been awoken by a boy with Chocolate colored hair, and blue eyes.

"Who are you?"Tom asked in a groggy voice, that held annoyance

"Names Raven Remington. Breakfast starts in a few minutes. You should not make it a habit to sleep in on school days, we don't want to loose house points, after all."The boy said, with a attitude

Tom looked at the boy, sneered, and then said "Remeber, I'm a prefect, I don't care if were in the same house, I am not a forgiving person, and will not stand to be spoken to in a matter like that."

"Whatever."The boy named Raven said, walking from the room

When the boy left, Tom got ready for his day, then walked out of the dorm, and made his way to the Great Hall. He looked over to the Gryffindor table, looking for a sign of Ginny, but saw that she was not there yet. He then made his way to the Slytherin table to sit down. He took a seat in a spot that other fifth years were, and just got stares.

"What's your name again?"A girl with pale blue eyes, and golden blond hair asked

"Thomas-Marcus Riddly."Tom said, filling his plate with toast, beacon and eggs.

"My names Belinda Delano, I've never heard of your family."The golden blond girl said

"I'm an orphan now, last of my family, but I came from a long line of pure bloods, in America."Tom said, then he got a few nods

"Well, here's your schedule Riddly."Raven said, tossing it at Tom

"Thanks."Tom said, in a annoyed voice

"Oh be nice Raven."A girl with Black hair and brown eyes said "Don't mind him, he's just a short tempered jerk."

"I see."Tom said, looking at his plate

"My names Aurorette Clay, everyone calls me Aurora though."The girl said

"I think I should give you the warning now. Aurora and Raven, sworn enemies."A boy with light blond hair that had green in the front said

"Thanks for the warning."Tom said "What are all your names?"

"Oh yeah. I'm Argyle Mahogony."The boy with green in his hair said

"I'm Sullivan Flint."A boy with brown hair, and brown eyes said

"Maeron Tamal."Said a boy with sand colored hair

"Cashlyn Armond."A girl with blue eyes, and raven hair

"I'm Kieran Jolon."A girl with blond hair and brown eyes said

"And last of this bunch, I'm Odessa Nyoka."A girl with long brown hair and blue eyes said

"Nice to meet you."Tom said to them all, in a fake happy voice, he really did not care, he would only see them in class, and in the dorm, not like he planned on becoming friends with any of them.

Tom looked down at the paper that had been tossed at his head, and read his classes.

"Oh no, the ware wolf is teaching, again."Odessa said with disgust

"What kind of school is that old fool running?"Maeron said

"Ware wolf?"Tom said, looking up

"Yeah, see the guy with the old worn robes sitting next to Snape, the guy with black hair. That's the Ware wolf."Cashlyn said

"Maybe we should go talk to Draco about another petition to get Dumbledore fired, Salazar knows him and the Ministry are still not on good terms."Raven said

"How about we bound and gag Dumbledore?"Tom said casually

"Welcome to Slytherin, Riddly."Was the answer Tom got from all the 5th year Slytherins

-------------------------------------------------=---------------------------------------------

Ginny had woken up a little late that morning. She rushed in getting ready, and ran all the way to the Great Hall, praying not to get caught by Filch, or Mrs. Norris. She started walking when she saw the large doors that were open, showing the large dining hall. As she made her way in, she looked at the Slytherin table, and saw a few kids around Tom, welcoming him. 'Well, looks like he's been lost to Slytherin.' Ginny thought, walking to the Gryffindor's table.

"Ginny, glad to see you up."Ron said.

"Lupin's teaching!"Harry said, grinning

Ginny smiled

"Heres your schedule."Hermione said, handing the paper

"Er.......thanks. But aren't we still fighting?"Ginny said

Ron looked at Ginny's paper.

"Bad luck Gin. You got double potions, with Slytherin. That's suicide. First time we don't have it."Ron said

"Well, I don't care. Good for you, and have a nice day."Ginny said, moving her seat to the Ravenclaw table to sit with Luna.

"What's with her?"Ron asked

"No clue."Harry said

---------

Ginny and Luna both sat looking through a copy of the Quibbler, in last minutes before Breakfast ended. Luna hummed a tune, happily reading the articles, while Ginny sat thinking of ways to get Luna to read the Quibbler right-side-up.

"What class do you have first, Luna?"Ginny asked

"Double Defense against the Dark arts with Hufflepuffs, you?"Luna said

"Double Potions with Snape, and Slytherin."Ginny said

"Oh, bad luck there."Luna said, shaking her head no, and looking back at the Quibbler

Ginny looked up, and saw the Slytherin table. Tom seemed to be sticking to himself, she noticed.

'Well, who knows, maybe he won't like that lot.'Ginny thought, then looked back at the Quibbler, then to her watch.

"Luna, see you at Lunch."Ginny said

"Lunch."Luna said

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Tom walked out of the Great Hall slowly. The other Slytherins walked ahead, not really noticing the missing presence of the young (unknown to them) dark lord. Tom walked a little faster when he saw Ginny.

"Hello Ginny."Tom said

"Hey Tom."Ginny said "Enjoying Hogwarts life so far?"

"I guess."Tom said

"If we don't hurry Snape will give me detention and you 50 points."Ginny said

Tom looked at Ginny oddly

"Snape favors Slytherin."Ginny said

"Well then, lets hurry."Tom said, giving Ginny a charming smile

"Alright Tom."Ginny said

--------

Tom and Ginny made it to class, just in time. Before Snape could take points off Gryffindor.

"Where you sit this year, is were you sit for the whole year, if you give me trouble, you will be in detention, as you all know."Snape said

Tom listening, took a seat in the back of the room. He then motioned Ginny over.

"You could sit with me, if you want."Tom said, seeing that Ginny's friend Colin had been sitting with another kid.

"Thank you Tom. But aren't you worried that your house will disown you?"Ginny said, taking the seat, and getting a few glares from girls around the room.

Then Raven gave Tom a glare for sitting with a Gryffindor, mainly for sitting with a Weasley.

"Oh no, not at all."Tom said, sending Raven a glare.

"Looks like you and Raven Remington don't get along, huh?"Ginny said

Tom nodded

"Well, from what I know, he's got the Prince of Slytherin title for 5th year."Ginny said

'I'm Heir of Slytherin, I see a rivalry forming, already.'Tom thought

"Really."Tom said

"Yep."Ginny said

"Open your text books to page 295. We will start working on a healing solution, and we don't want anyone being poisoned now, do we?"Snape said, who smirked at the fearful looks he got from the Gryffindors.

Tom skimmed through the pages. He then looked at Ginny, who had a confused look. He then moved his notes over. Ginny looked up to him, and gave a confused look. He then whispered "Take my notes, I'll re-write them." Ginny seemed to think it over, but in the end Tom won. He then watched Ginny, as she starred at Tom's perfect script. 'Maybe I should start writing differently?' He thought

"Now, I am going to be assigning you a project, that will take from Today to next Friday, you and the person you are seated next to are going to have to work together, to get the ingredients for this potion. Now, I notice that there is a Gryffindor and Slytherin sitting next to each other. To make this an even more interesting project, I want 1 Slytherin, and 1 Gryffindor to sit together."Snape said.

There were many moans all around the room, as many kids changed seats.

"The group that make the most powerful healing solution, gets 50 house points, to each house."Snape said

Tom looked over to Ginny and whispered "I think were going to win."

"I don't think I'l........."

"Don't worry, I've made this before, in home-schooling."Tom lied 'More like 5th year potions.'

"When should we start?"Ginny asked

"Weekend?"Tom asked

"Sure."Ginny said

"Or maybe even today, so we find our ingredients, before I have to go into the potions master's supply room."Tom said

"Tom, you would steal from Snapes......."Ginny started in a hiss

"Only if I had to."Tom said 'Or I could owl my older self, and get all the supplies I need.'

The class went on for a few minutes until Snape dismissed them. Only 15 points had been taken from Gryffindor, due to the fact that a Gryffindor punched Raven Remington in the face.

==============================================================

The day had gone on. Tom had gone to Herbolagy after potions, while Ginny went to Ancient Ruins. After that Tom went to Ancient Ruins, and Ginny went to Herbolagy. For Herbolagy, they got a reading assignment, and for ancient ruins, they just had to write a paragraph on the ruins of Stonehenge. By the time lunch came.

Ginny sat at the Ravenclaw table, and talked to Luna about all the stuff that happened so far. As she spoke of potions class, a group of Ravenclaw 5th years crowded around Ginny, as she told of one of the boys from her house breaking Ravens nose.

Then after the story the Ravenclaws thanked Ginny for telling them what they would be doing in potions.

-----------

At the Slytherin table, Tom sat listening to everyone talking. He ate thinking up things to do to regain his crown in the Slytherin house, when Raven came up to him.

"Riddly, why is it that your hanging around the Weaslette?"Raven asked

Tom smirked, as he watched Draco Malfoy come by.

"Remington, did I give you permission to use the nickname 'Weaslette'?"Draco asked

"No Malfoy."Raven said

"Oh, Remington, if I were you I would not try bossing Riddly around....."Draco said

"And whys that?"Raven asked

"Oh, I think you'll find out soon enough."Draco said

"Remington."Tom said

"What, Riddly?"Raven asked spitting out the last part

"10 points from Slytherin for assaulting a prefect."Tom said, sitting down and returning to his meal. 'Lucius must have informed Draco. It's a shame I can't torture Remington, just have to wait a little longer, first get rid of Dumbledore and Potter, then Remington.'

"Riddly?"Draco said

"What Malfoy?"Tom said

"Father says that he was told to tell you to sit with us sixth years."Draco said

"Alright."Tom said

"What about me?"Raven asked

"Your not old enough."Draco said smirking

"He's the same age as me, 15."Raven said

"No, I'm 16, going on 17."Tom said, glaring and smirking at Raven

"Then why are you a 5th year?"Raven asked with venom

"Because, I wanted to see if there was anything else I could learn from this level, and so far it is different."Tom said "And any more questions, will be answered with more advanced hexes that you have probably never heard of."

Draco and Tom laughed a bit, and then went over to Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy, and Blaise.

--------------

Ginny and Luna had witnessed what happened at the Slytherin table, but had not heard any of it. Many students just wondered about it for a few minutes, and went on with there life's, along with Ginny. But Ron had come over to her.

"Ginny, I don't want you hanging around Riddly. He's bad news, he's friends with Malfoy."Ron said

"He's nice to me."Ginny said

"He's friends with Malfoy."Ron said

"So. Who are you to tell me who I could be friends with?"Ginny asked, in a sweet voice

"Ginevra, I'm going to owl mum."Ron said

'Not if I owl her first.'Ginny thought

"See you later Gin. Hopefully mum won't send you a howler."Ron said, storming away

"Luna?"Ginny asked

"Yes Ginny?"Luna said

"Could I borrow your owl?"

"Alright Ginny."Luna said

"I'm not the one who is going to be getting a howler tomorrow morning."Ginny said, with a bit of a laugh

"Ginny, what are you planning?"Luna asked

"Mum is going to now find out who broke the kitchen window, who broke the kitchen table, and who burnt her Gilderoy Lockheart books."Ginny said

"This will be interesting."Luna said, going to her Quibbler

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The last classes of the day went by pretty uneventful. Tom and Ginny had barely any homework, which was good for the beginning of fifth year. Hopefully it would be like this over the Holiday.

When classes ended, Tom and Ginny planned rushed through dinner, so they could start the project Snape had. They had decided it better to start early, since there would probably be less of the ingredients if the whole 5th year class was working on the same project.

Before dinner started, Dumbledore made a speech.

"Madame Hooch has just informed me, that Quidditch tryouts will be starting in a week, on Saturday, Sunday, and the next week on Saturday and Sunday. If you plan on trying out, a sign up form will be located in your house's common room. Thank you. Now for food."Dumbledore said

At hearing this Tom and Ginny's thoughts went to try outs.

They rushed through the meal, and pretty much ran from the Great Hall.

------------

"Ginny, do you plan on joining your house's Quidditch team?"Tom asked

"Yep, I want to be a chaser or beater."Ginny said

"I want to join the Slytherin team, as Keeper or Chaser, I would rather be a seeker, but I would have to wait until Malfoy leaves."Tom said

"I can't wait to sign up for try-outs."Ginny said

"Yeah. Ginny, this way, if we want to find the roots, we have to go by the water."Tom said

"How do you know if you have the root?"Ginny asked, digging

"You will. It looks sorta like a twig, but its white, with.......yes thats it."Tom said

"Now what do we have to find?"Ginny asked

Tom looked around, and saw many groups of students coming to the water, all starring at Tom and Ginny and the root.

"A way to get away from here, with that root."Was Toms only reply

"Tom, hold the root. I am going to try doing something I saw Harry do 2 years ago."Ginny said, passing Tom the root

"Accio FireBolt 3000!"Ginny yelled, she saw her broom come zooming by, as she put her wand in her robe pocket. Then she put her right arm out, and caught the broom.

"Could I fly?"Tom asked

"Alright, but hurry, they are almost here!"Ginny hissed

Tom got on, and went in back of him, and held onto him

"Lets see if this broom could go as fast as they say it could."Tom said "Hold on tight Ginny, you don't want to fall off."

"I think this is going to be a first day of lessons I never forget."Ginny said

"Me either."Tom said, as the broom zoomed away, and half the 5th year students watched

Thank you for reading this chappie!

I must have spent at least 2 hours looking up names for the Slytherins in this. It was fun looking them up, and finding the meanings. Some names have to do with the dark, or serpents.

For Raven Remington, and the rest of the 5th year Slytherins, they only have a minor part. I just have some things that Raven will be doing in later chappies, that's all I could say, and also Tom and him are probably going to be major enemies also.

My favorite thing in writing for this chapter, was the end with the broom, and also the argument between Draco, Raven, and Tom. Well until next chapter!
