"No! I didn't do anything! Don't hurt me please, I'm not old enough! Please! Don't kill her, no! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"

I sighed. Gosh, we've been here two nights and that girl keeps me up. Can she not dream, or at least nightmare silently? Her name was Nika Thomas. Pretty quiet. Burdened with these horrible nightmares. I kind of feel bad, but in a way, I love my sleep.

"Jesus, shut up Nika"

I turn around. Jackie Schiff was the one who said that. A muggle up until last month, she had quite the attitude. Snobbish, mean, and...i don't know how to explain it. I started to remember the first night we were here, last night.

"Does this place have a computer, I desperately need to check my email. I'm still not over the fact that there's absolutely no service here. What gives?"

"Jackie, this is a wizarding school. Why would there be a computer?" I said.

Nika piped in "What's a computer. Or email. Is that like owl mail? What do you mean there's no service here? Someone is always cleaning up something..."

"Nika, she's talking about muggle electronics. Just ignore her." I informed her.

"Ugh, I just cannot believe it! Daddy will have to fix this." Jackie's face was turning an interesting shade of pinkish red.

I laughed. What an idiot. Nika was still screaming. I got up out of bed and walked over to her bed.

"Nika, Nika, get up!"

"No please, no!" well, I guess she didn't wake up. I shook her again.

"Nika wake up already!" Finally, it's about time. She was stirring, eventually opening her eyes and looking at me.

"Whose there?" Her voice seemed panicked.

"Jamie."

"Oh, good. Thought you were a Death Eater for a moment."

"What? A Death Eater?"

"Yeah, killed both my parents."

"I'm sorry to hear."

"Thanks. That means a lot. No one here knows that my parents are dead, except for the teachers of course."

"Did your parents go here?"

"Yeah. Dean Thomas and Cho Chang. I saw them die, and never got over it. Jackie isn't helping either."

"Yeah. Just ignore her."

'Yeah, you know, I've never told anybody that I saw my parents die before. It's been about six years"

"Wow. And you barely know me too."

"I don't know, something about you just makes me feel...better."

"Thanks."

"Is it late?" I glanced at my watch. It read 3:30.

"Actually, its really early, about 3:30"

"I think I better get to bed, night Jamie."

"G'night"

I walked back over to my bed and plopped down. Well at least I knew why she was screaming. Then again, she's screamed more than she's talked. I closed my eyes, and set off for slumber.

"JAMIE! JAMIE! HELP!" Geez! I just woke up who was that.

"JaaaaaaaaaaMIE!" the voice screeched. Oh. Jackie.

"What do you want Jackie" I looked at my watch. 7:04. What could anyone want at this hour.

"Would you mind telling me who I should do my Death Eater project on? I don't feel like going to the library."

"Jackie, why would remember Death Eaters at seven in the morning?"

"Jamie, please! This is an emergency!"

"Draco Malfoy" I knew he wasn't a Death Eater, and I was so excited to see what he did when she handed in a paper on how he, professor at Hogwarts, was a Death Eater. Jay and I were awaiting an owl from his mom on who to do. Since I was already up, I decided to take out my cd player and listen to it. My sanity resided in this thing, without it, I'd be toast. I pressed play, expecting my favorite band, The Click Five, pop on. I heard nothing. Drat. The batteries ran out. Searching through my stuff for batteries, I swear one day I'll learn to get it to play constantly. That'll be the day. Found the batteries and put them in. Ahh...sweet music. After about five songs, the rest of the room woke up, well, except for Jackie who was busy reading her book for Draco Malfoy. Haha, I was so excited. Wait till I tell Nika bout this one. I saw Nika sit up. I turned off my cd player, stashed it in my drawer, and went and sat myself on her bed. I was trying so hard not to laugh.

"What?" Nika asked.

"Hey Jackie, how's the Death Eater project on Draco Malfoy coming along?"

"Great Jamie! Did you know his father was a Death Eater as well?"

"Yeah." I look over to see Nika trying to hold back her laughter.

"You can't be serious. She believed you?" she whispered.

"Yupp." I was smiling. I was a genius. After Nika and I were done, we went down to breakfast. Today was my first real breakfast, yesterday I overslept and got there extremely late. We walked down the stairs down into the Great Hall. I found Jay and sat across from him. Nika sat next to me.

"Hey Jay, have you met Nika?"

"I think so, hi."

"Hi" she said.

All of a sudden, a thousand owls entered the Great Hall. They flew around carrying what seemed like letters on their feet. One flew past us and dropped a letter on Jay.

"Woah, what's with the owls?" I asked.

"They carry our mail" said Nika.

"Hey Jay, what's in the letter?"

"Well, Jamie, my mom suggested we should do our projects on Severus Snape and Barty Crouch. She also gave us loads of information."

"Nice." I was happy. Less work for me. Jay was still looking through the different papers...smiling more the further he went.

"Can you say automatic A?" Jay said.

"Automatic A." Nika and I replied at the same time.

"My dad sent us up papers. In our handwriting. How awesome is that?"

"Awesome. Oh, and he sent us an extra on some guy nicknamed Wormtail. Hey, Nika, you want it?"

"Sure. Beats whoever I was going to do anyway. I didn't even start looking yet."

"Do we have Potions today Jay?" I asked.

"Yeah, I think."

"Who teaches that?" Nika asked.

"Beats me." Jay said. "I'm done, are you done?"

"Yep." I said.

Jay, Nika, and I left the Great Hall and headed down to the dungeon for Potions. We got lost. Lesson learned: NEVER ask a seventh year Slytherin for directions to the dungeon. They will most likely send you to the Astronomy tower. We walked in about ten minutes late. The professor was in the middle of talking when we walked in.

"You're late you three. Who are you, and why are you late."

Jay spoke up.

"Well, I'm Jay Weasley, this is Jamie Potter and Nika Thomas. And..um...we're late because we asked some Slytherins where to go and they pointed us to the Astronomy tower."

"Are you stupid enough to climb all the way up to the Astronomy tower when your class is in the dungeon?"

"uh...yes?" Jay said.

The professor laughed. "Ah, sounds like something me and my brother would do. Professor Creevy, sit on down."

A sigh of relief came out of all three of us as we sat down.

"As I was saying," Professor Creevy began, "I am Professor Creevy. I went to Hogwarts along with my brother, who you might know as the photographer for the Daily Prophet. Since its your second full day here, I'm not in the mood to pile up the homework. Your in-class assignment is to write what you think you will gain out of this class. Make it good, or I'll pile on the homework next class. The assignment is due at the end of class.

Happy January 8th everyone.
