I woke up early the next morning. It was my first day of classes at Hogwarts. I looked over at my clock and saw that it read 6:12. I rolled over and tried to get back to sleep, but I was to nervous, and excited to go back to sleep. I laid in bed until Ginny woke up at 7:00 and then I rolled out of bed and got dressed into my Hogwarts uniform which was a gray skirt, gray sweater over a white blouse. Gray knee socks, black shoes and a tie that was the Gryffindor colours. I put on my black cloak over all of that. As soon as Ginny was dressed we headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast and to get our timetables.

Ginny and I sat down at the Gryffindor table and Hermione sat down beside me and Ron and Harry sat down on the opposite side of us. Hermione and Ron were talking again. Amazing what a nights sleep can accomplish. Professor McGonagoll walked down beside the Gryffindor table handing out everyone's timetables. I looked at mine and then folded it and put it in my book bag.

"We have Transfiguration with McGonagoll and then Charms. After lunch we have Double Potions. Rats what a terrible first day." said Ron

"No kidding." said Harry, "What do you have Gina?"

"I have Double Potions, then after lunch I have flying lessons and Astronomy."

"Well at least you have flying. Can you imagine they both give us Double Potions? That is just plain cruel."

"Here, here." yelled Ron while tapping on his goblet with a fork.

"Oh Ron." said Ginny.

"What Gins?" said Ron

"Don't call me Gins."

"And why not Gins?"

"Because Ronald, I don't like that name."

Ron went silent.

"Oh she got you there mate." said Harry who was laughing.

Hermione got up and said, "We better get to class or McGonagoll will have our heads."

"You know mate." said Ron turning to Harry, "Everything we did last year and she is still worried about being late for class."

"I know." replied Harry

"Ronald, you know before you start talking about me you should wait until I'm at least out of earshot. Just a hint." said Hermione.

Ron and Harry both went quiet and then Hermione turned to Ginny and I and said, "Good luck with your classes and don't let Snape bother you to much."

"Okay." I replied.

Hermione walked out of the Great Hall. Ron and Harry kept eating and then Ginny and I got up and headed down to the dungeons for Double Potions.

"What a great way to start off the year." said Ginny

"I know. Why do they have to torture us so much. Potions is bad enough, but Double Potions. Like come on-" I said

"Ah, another Potter." said a cold voice from behind me.

I turned around and came face to face with Snape.

"What do you want Snape." I said

"Oh, just like your father and godfather are we. You will one day come to a sticky end just like them. Mark my word."

"Don't talk about my father and Sirius that way Snivelus."

"Oh, exactly like them. You know that could cost you 15 points from Gryffindor."

"What exactly did I do that would cause you to take 15 points from Gryffindor?"

"Oh, just the fact that you are you and you are the daughter of James Potter and that Mudblood."

"Don't call my mother a Mudblood. She was better than you and you know it. She was top of her year and she fought against Voldermort himself. What were you the greasy slime ball that nobody liked and had to join Voldermort because nobody liked you. You probably have never seen him in person. You would never be able to even fight him-" I said

"Silence." He roared, "That will cost you a weeks worth of detention stating tonight. My office 7:00 sharp."

"What." I screamed

"Two weeks Ms. Potter."

"That is not fair."

"You talking about not fair Potter. You have no clue what not fair is. So don't complain. Know I suggest everyone gets in and set up or it will be detention for everyone."

Everyone grabbed their stuff and hurried into the classroom. Ginny and I grabbed seats at the very back of the room.

Snape walked in and slammed the dungeon door close. "I will teach you to bottle fame and brew glory. But I don't expect most of you to get the art of potion making."

Ginny leaned over to me and whispered in my ear, "He says that exact speech to every first year class on their first day of classes."

"Ms. Weasley do you have something to say, because I'm sure that everyone would like to hear it?" cut in Snape

"No Professor." said Ginny, her face going the colour of her hair.

"I didn't think so."

"Actually she did Professor." I said

Snape turned to me, "And what would that me Potter?"

I stopped for a minute debating what to say, then I turned to Snape and said, "She was just asking me if I had my dragon skin gloves with me."

"Oh really, Potter. Another 15 points from Gryffindor. At this rate with you and your brother both here Gryffindor is going to have no points left very soon. You will also right now go and talk to Dumbledore."

"But Professor, what did I do?"

"You were talking in my class, you were disrespectful to me and you flat out lied to me. Now go and explain all of that to Dumbledore."

"Professor what will he do to me, I stood up for myself and defended my parents against you. If I were you I wouldn't be sending me to Dumbledore seeing as you called my mom a Mudblood as well everything you just said to me. You are as guilty as I am."

Snape went silent and then he said, "Ms. Potter another 15 points from Gryffindor and you will have another week of detentions with me. So 3 weeks. Now everyone start on this potion. You have 1 hour and 15 minutes to brew it, seeing that Ms. Potter over here just lost you 15 minutes of time. This potion will take 45 minutes to mature so you do the math and you will realize that you don't have much time. You may begin." Snape flicked his wand and the instructions went up on the board.

"Well we better get started then." said Ginny who got up and started to grab the ingredients.

Everything went fine for the next hour. Ginny and I made our potions and then we set them to mature and we started to clean up. Finally at the end of class Snape made us put a sample of our potion in a vile, cork it and put it on his desk.

Once the class ended all the Gryffindors got out of there as fast as they could, but the Slytherins hung around. Once we got back up into the entrance all Ginny spotted Hermione, Harry and Ron. We walked over to them and Hermione said, "How was Snape?"

"Well." I said, "Everything went fine except he called my mom a Mudblood and I defended my parents. So he took 15 points from Gryffindor and gave me a weeks worth of detentions, then I told him that they were better than him and he was always the greasy slime ball that never fit in and he had to join Voldermort to fit in and he probably never even saw Voldermort and my parents fought against him. So he took another 15 points from Gryffindor and I got another week of detentions. So we headed into the class and he started talking about how he could teach us to bottle fame and brew glory, but how most of us would not get the art of potion making. Ginny whispered in my ear that he gave everyone that speech on their first day of potions. He caught us talking and I said that Ginny just asked me if I had my dragon skin gloves with me. He didn't believe me and sent me up to Dumbledore's office-"

"He didn't." gasped Hermione

"Yup, he sure did. Then I told him that if I were him I wouldn't be sending me to talk to Dumbledore seeing as he was as guilty as I was. Then he dropped me going to talk to Dumbledore, but he gave me another week of detentions, so now I have 3 weeks of detentions with him and he took 15 more points away from Gryffindor and then assigned us this really hard sleeping potion."

"He gave you a sleeping potion on your first day?" asked Hermione

"Yes."

"Did you get it to go lime green?"

"Yes."

"Wow, that is amazing that you got the potion right on your first attempt at making that potion, and any potion for that matter. Good job. You must me some potion maker."

"Hermione, that's not the point."

"What is the point then Harry?"

"Well…."

"We should go and tell Dumbledore what he did." said Ron

"Good idea." replied Harry

The five of us headed towards Dumbledore's office. They got to the gargoyle in front of Dumbledore's office and Harry said the password, but the gargoyle didn't spring to life and move aside.

"He must have changed the password." said Hermione

"Yeah he must have." agreed Harry

"Who must have what Harry." said a voice from behind them. Everyone turned quickly and saw Dumbledore standing right behind him.

"Oh, we just wanted to talk to you Professor." said Hermione

"What did you want to talk to me about?" asked Dumbledore

"Well can we talk to you in your office?" replied Harry

"Of course." answered Dumbledore. He turned and faced the stone gargoyle and said, "Peppermint Creams"

The gargoyle jumped aside and everybody stepped onto the moving staircase. The arrived in Dumbledore's office and Dumbledore conjured 5 overstuffed armchairs. The 5 friends sat down and Dumbledore sat down behind his large desk and put his hands on his desk. "So what can I do for The Marauders."

"Well." started Hermione and she started to tell Dumbledore what happened. I filled in where she didn't know what happened. So we finally got the whole story out and then Dumbledore said, "I can't really do anything about the points, I will talk to Professor Snape and see what we can do about the detentions, and I will talk to him about calling a person a Mudblood. Especially Lily Evans or should I say Potter. She was a better which than most pure bloods. So, is there anything else?"

"No Professor, thanks." I said

"Anytime Gina."

We left Dumbledore's office and headed back down to lunch. The rest of the day went by pretty fast and nothing much happened, except I was the best at flying, in our flying class, and Ginny was second best. Charms went pretty well also with all the spells coming easily to me. We worked on levitating feathers. I got it first try. Flitwick told me I was like my mom. He said she was a great student and excelled at Charms, but she was also good at Defense Against the Dark Arts. So I ended my first day of classes at Hogwarts with minus 45 points and 3 weeks of detention. Boy, my dad and Sirius would and will be proud.
