Note: I don't own Harry Potter, IHOP, and The Beatles.
September 2, 1993
James woke up from his bed at 7am in the morning. It was his first day in Hogwarts today. He got dressed into his Hogwarts robes and made his way into the great hall. Wilbur liked to call it "Mess Hall". While he was navigating the great hall, James saw his brother, Wilbur and his now girlfriend Roseanne, feeding each other spoonfuls of what looked like oatmeal. James thought it was bizzare.
James found the Slytherin table and was surprised to see the breakfast he wanted on the table already. He sat next to his sister and his new friend, Daphne. "So," James said, "How does the food exactly appear on the table?" he asked. "Nobody knows, really, but I assume they're just transported to the tables after being prepared." Daphne answered. "Makes sense." James said.
James started to dig into his breakfast, which was coffee and IHOP corn pancakes. "So this is muggle food?" Daphne asked, while investigating the corn pancakes. "Pretty much, yeah." James replied. After the three finished eating their breakfast, a Slytherin prefect started handing out the schedules.
"Damn, Potions is our first subject for today?" Jamie said. "Don't worry, Professor Snape favors Slytherins. He'll probably pass you without a blink of an eye." Daphne said. "So, much like the American school system?" James joked.
They made their way to the Potions classroom and lined up against the door. Professor Snape came outside. "Enter." he said. Once the class settled down, Snape started with the "pep talk". "You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making. As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses. . . I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death — if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach."
Snape did the role call then assigned the class their work for today. "Today you are making a Hiccoughing Solution, very simple to make that even a toddler could make it. The ingredients are on the board, you have 2 hours. Start." The whole class rushed to the cabinets where the ingredients were stored. James got the ingredients and started getting to work.
"Alrighty," James started. He lit the cauldron and added some standard potioning water and started gathering throwing in his ingredients. "Eyes of a pufferfish..." he threw them in, while seeing Wilbur visibly getting frustrated making his potion. "Three bat spleens..." he threw them in. "Dried nettle..." he threw them in. He checked his book which said "Stir clockwise 5 times, then stir counter-clockwise 5 times." and so he did. His potion was now finished.
When 2 hours had finally passed, Snape rose from the table and said "Put a sample of your potion in a vial and add your name, and pass it to me." James put his in a vial, added his name and put it on Snape's table. Good for one EE, probably.
James made his way to the great hall for lunch. He now saw Wilbur and his girlfriend feeding each other spoonfuls of tomato soup. The food magically appeared on his spot of the table again, which was fish and chips. He sat down and had lunch. "I think the potion I made can gather an Acceptable, maybe." Jamie said, while getting some chips from James' plate. "Hey, eat your own food!" James exclaimed while Jamie snorted. "Well, I think my potion is probably gonna get an Outstanding." Daphne said, with a sort of shrill. "Feeling confident today, eh?" James said. "Maybe." Daphne replied.
"Well anyways, what's our next subject?" Jamie asked. "Hmmmm... looks like we have... Charms?" James said. "Damn it, I'm not good at Charms." Daphne said. Once the three finished their lunch, they made their way to the charms classroom. They sat themselves on their respective desks. "Today, you will be starting on Cheering Charms." the Professor, Filius Filtwick said. "The Cheering Charm is a charm that makes the target feel elated. When the charm is overdone, it could cause the victim to be overcome with fits of hysterical laughter."
After they practiced cheering charms, James made his way to the great hall, again, for dinner. "I think I may have overdone that Cheering Charm on my partner" Jamie said. "Overdone? That fella was practically on his knees before the Professor did the countercharm on him!" James exclaimed. "Oh shut up, it was an accident eitherway." Jamie replied, with an "angry twin sister" look on her face. Once they all finished dinner, the three went to the Slytherin dorm and got ready for sleep. "Well, goodnight everyone!" James shouted, and went inside his dorm.
James crashed on his bed immidiately once he found it. He went to sleep within 2 minutes.
