Ann-Marie loved Hogwarts, her favorite lesson soon became defense against the dark arts. There was only one thing, everybody wanted her dad's autograph, did the expect her to make every letter to her parents something along the lines of 'dear mum and dad, making loads of friends and I love my lessons, by the way, dad could you send me some autographs for my friends'. Ann-Marie was stuck in a potions lesson talking to Crystal and Alicia waiting for the teacher to arrive. The teacher walked into the dungeon, sat at the desk and announced
"So you got accepted in Hogwarts did you, Well you have yet to all be accepted into my potions lesson, I have a zero tolerance policy on messing about in my lesson, so watch were you step" he got out a book and took the register, he got to Ann-Marie's name and paused.
"Ann-Marie Potter, the daughter of one Harry Potter I presume," said Snape. Ann-Marie nodded, she could tell by his voice, professor Snape would be one of the few people not asking for her dad's autograph, he finished calling the names and got up.
"Potter!" called out Snape "what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
She turned to Crystal and Alicia, they shrugged at her.
"I don't know," replied Ann-Marie
"tut tut tut, it looks like having a celebrity father isn't everything then. Lets try again. Where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar?
Ann-Marie heard her dad mention this once, when her uncle Ron was poisoned he had to give him one, where did it come from, it was something's stomach, she thought but what?
"An animals stomach?" said Ann-Marie
"What kind of animal?" replied Snape
"I… I don't know, err, a sheep?" said Ann-Marie
"Didn't you bother asking your imbecile of a father anything before you came, mind you, I don't think he would have remembered anything he learnt in his time at this school, Asphodel and wormwood make a powerful sleeping potion known as the draught of death, and a bezoar is taken form a GOATS stomach, not a sheep's, Why aren't you writing this down?" said Snape, everyone was rummaging in their bags for a quill "and five points will be taken of Gryffindor for you not bothering to at least try and learn something before you came" Snape walked behind his desk, the lesson didn't go well, he sent Ann-Marie to the potion's cupboard to get some ingredients and while she had gone he had placed a box next to the door which Ann-Marie couldn't see so she ended up tripping over it and spilling all the potion's.
"Another five points of Gryffindor to teach you to watch were your going" Next Ann-Marie was told to add one of the plant's but wasn't told which one. She picked up the first one she got to and her potion formed giant bubbles and splattered all over the classroom.
"Ten points of Gryffindor for having no common sense" Ann-Marie was getting really angry now, at the end of the lesson she walked straight up to Gryffindor common room with Alicia and Crystal
"It's not fair, why is he picking on me, I mean has he always been like this?" she walked into the common room and saw a second year sitting on the sofa, he had Dark brown hair that was rather long for a boy, he had blue eyes and was rather good-looking but at the same time looked a bit like Alicia.
"hi Alicia, fist day going ok?" he asked Alicia
"No, the Slytherin's were putting plants in my hair all the way through herbology" replied Alicia
"Who are these girls?" he asked
"These are my friends Crystal Maybell and Ann-Marie Potter, guy's this is my brother Alec"
"Hi, wait, Potter? As in Ginny and Harry Potter?" asked Alec
"Yeah, she's their daughter," replied Alicia
"Oh, well hi both of you, see you later Alicia, I've got homework to do" replied Alec as he walked of. Ann-Marie stood there, watching him walk of.
"Marie? You OK?" asked Crystal
"Huh? Oh yea, I'm fine, wait, how come your both muggle born brother and sister, I mean usually only one's a witch or wizard" said Ann-Marie
"Yeah, it's weird that, I had almost no hope I would get into Hogwarts," said Alicia
"Well I have to go write a letter to mum and dad, see you later" said Ann-Marie as she walked of to the girl's dormitory. She sat down at the desk there and wrote
Mum and Dad
Hi, it's Marie (or Ann), How's thing's there? I'm fine here, except my potion's teacher Snape, he's horrible, he asked me questions like what does Wormwood and something make and where do you get a bezoar, then he made me trip over and took house points of me and than made it so I messed up my potion and took points of for that, did he teach you while you were at Hogwarts? What was he like then? Well anyway I found one teacher I like, Professor Slughorn, she's nice and she's my head of house, apparently her dad taught you to. What was her dad like? And dad, how's work going? Please write soon
Ann-Marie
"Ann! Were going to the great hall to get some food, coming?" called Crystal. Ann-Marie folded up the letter put it in an envelope and then put it in her pocket, she could take it to the owlery after she ate.
