Chapter Two
The First Day

When Jamie woke up early the next morning, she thought about what had occurred the other day. 'Let's see,' she thought to herself. 'I went on the train, knocked a guy over, skipped the sorting, and went straight to bed.' She looked around her corridor, and saw it was still the same after the past six years. It was her hidden room, a place where no other students could find. She finally decided to get dressed and to get prepared for her first day.

When Jamie finally reached the Great Hall, she walked towards the Gryffindor table, and sat down next to a bunch of people she never met, a seat from where she could face her grandfather. The students took no notice of her and began talking about their upcoming classes. When Jamie looked up, she saw that her grandfather was trying to communicate with her without talking. 'What is he saying?' she thought to herself as her grandfather began raising up his hands with his palms facing up. 'Stand up?' she mouthed to him, and he nodded. When Jamie stood, he began directing her towards the right, and Jamie began walking and looking at him at the same time. Then he halted at her to stop, and Jamie stopped, thinking she must look like an idiot walking around.
Meanwhile, little did she know that seated in front of her was the very same boy she knocked over on the train.

"So where's Hermione?" Harry asked Ron.

"Oh, she and Ginny are looking for that bloody cat of hers. She told Ginny she lost him and I guess they're still up there."

"Oh," said Harry. "Do you suppose we could bring them up breakfast?"

"Sure, why not. You carry the drinks, and I'll carry the plates."

"Ok," said Harry raising, holding juice in both of his hands. He did not know that there was a certain someone behind him, and when he stood up, the drinks fell out of his hands and spilled all down Jamie's front.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were there," Harry said to her while grabbing the glasses that fell to the ground. Everyone in the Great Hall turned and stared at them with an amusing expression on their faces.

"No, forget it, don't worry," Jamie said to Harry while grabbing napkins, "this is exactly how I wanted to start the day anyways," she told him sarcastically and ran off.

"Smart move there Harry," Ron said to his confused friend.

"Shut up Ron," and then the bell rang.

The first class they had was double potions with the Slytherins.
"Great, this day can't get any better," muttered Harry taking his seat next to Ron.

"Maybe he'll be in a good mood today," Ron said sitting down. Snape began his lesson, starting with the owl results.

"Some in this classroom show potential, and I can help lead them to greatness," Snape said looking in Malfoy's direction. "While others, tend to be insolent and ungrateful that their still in this class," he said now looking at Harry. Just then, Hermione burst through the doors, exhausted from running.

"Ah, Miss Granger, so glad that you finally arrived. You're five minutes late, ten points from Gryffindor," he said to Hermione as she took her seat next to Ron. When he finished talking about the owl results, which lasted another ten minutes, Jamie came through the door, walked up to Snape, handed him a note, and quickly took her seat. Snape resumed talking as if she never came, and started talking about their homework assignment.

"What?" whispered Ron to Harry and Hermione. "How come she didn't get into trouble and you did," he said looking at Hermione. "And you're a prefect."

"I don't know, she had a note though. Well, it doesn't matter, or else we would have lost more points," Hermione said. However, Harry was not listening, he was to busy wondering about Jamie who sat three seats in front of him. When the class had to pair off into groups and collect the ingredients from the front, Harry saw Jamie rise and noted that she had a different shirt on and that she had hazel eyes, and also medium brown hair that went up to her shoulders. She was a few inches shorter than he was, and was neither too skinny nor too large.
After the lesson, Harry walked over to her when she was still packing her books in her bag.

"Hey," Harry spoke. Jamie looked up and saw Harry.

"Oh, hey."

"Look I'm really sorry about this morning, I didn't-" Harry began, but was cut off by Jamie.

"It doesn't matter, but thanks for apologizing."

"Sure," said Harry. He was about to go and leave when he turned to her and said,

"I'm Harry, by the way. Harry Potter," and he extended out his hand.

Jamie smiled and said, "I'm Jamie. Jamie Sullivan." And shook his hand. Though both did not know it then, but it was the start of an unforgettable friendship.
