Aideen's Point of view...

I woke up dreading having to go to classes, knowing that I will get some looks after my speech last night at the opening ceremony. When I finished my speech, a lot of people kept on looking at me in curiosity and questioned whether that was true or not.

Then when they realized that I was right, horrified expressions could be seen across the hall. They were all looking at each other and at themselves in disgust. You could tell what they were thinking. They were thinking, how could they judge eleven year old's without any proof of what they were saying.

Some of the braver students walked up to the Slytherin table and apologize for the way they have been acting. We said we would forgive them but we would not forget the mistreatment that we were subjected to. They said that, that was fair and was shocked that we would even consider forgiving them and that they were acting ignorantly.

Ronald, Hermione, and Ginevra looked on in shock and disgust, They were not planning this to happen I bet. I briefly looked over at the Head Table and all of the teachers except one (I bet you can guess who it was) looked on in shock and was happy about it.

Only Dumbledore looked angry. Everybody looked up and saw his face. They were confused on why but chalked it up to his bias towards Gryffindor and his anti-Slytherin anything. Oh if only they knew. I got out of that train of thought and started getting ready.

I got dressed in a long sleeves black shirt with a green and black plaid skirt with a belt. I put on white knee-high stocking and black ankle boots. I painted my nail grey and I put my hair in a crown braid (do not know if that is correct) and then put the rest of my hair in a bun.

I did green eyeshadow and red lipstick for my makeup. I decided to put in butterfly earrings, a butterfly necklace, a butterfly bracelet, and a green ring.

I went downstairs and saw Draco, Drew, and Tom already in there. I had to hold back a laugh since they all were almost wearing the exact same thing just different shades of green. They were wearing a shade of dark green silk shirt, black jeans, and black shoes. I guess they heard my footsteps and they turned around. Tom and Drew looked me over and smiled like they approved.

I teased them about their outfit and they rolled their eyes but they had a smile so I knew they were amused. We went down to the Great Hall and after we had a delicious breakfast, I had chocolate chip pancakes with some apple juice, we got our schedules. We would not have any classes with Tom since he is going in the fourth year and we are second year.

I pouted when I figured that out and I heard an aww from the Gryffindor table. I looked over and it was the devil twins. They smiled at me and waved. I waved back. I turned towards Tom and said, "You are going to have them in your year. They are not like Ronald and Ginevra. They are actually pretty fun to be around and they do not like Dumbledore. "

He nodded with a smile glad that they are not like the youngest siblings. We went to Charms first. We were learning a new spell and when we went to practice Hermione glared at me in jealousy when I got it on the first try and before her. I smirked at her and winked making her blush and turn red. I laughed and turned towards the rest of the Slytherins.

I saw some of the class needing help so I went over to them and helped them the best I could. To me, it did not matter if I was helping a Gryffindor or Slytherin student. The only two people who I refused to help was Ronald and Hermione.

At the end of the class, almost all of the class could do it proficiently. I went back to my seat when I heard Professor Flitwick start to talk, "Thank you all for trying, I know it was a little difficult for some of you. Also, fifteen points to Miss Potter for helping students around her that she saw needing help, no matter what house they were in."

Hermione tried to get me in trouble by saying, "But professor she did not even attempt to help Ron or me. She completely ignored us. She should not get those points."

Flitwick looked at her unamused. He said, "Ten points from Gryffindor for trying to get another student in trouble. You both have been spreading lies and harassing her so of course she is trying to avoid you.

Also, you did not look like you needed help Miss Granger and Mr. Weasley was not even trying and decided he wanted to take a nap. Next time, do not try and get anybody in trouble because it will backfire on you."

Everybody glared at Hermione, their opinion might have changed the way they see us because they were being nice and trying to include us in conversations instead of blatantly ignoring and isolating us. It was a breath of fresh air to talk to other people. Not that I did not like to talk to my friends but I like to meet new people.

I walked to my next class Transfiguration with the Gryffindor's. I walked beside Neville and talked to him the whole way about Herbology and the different plants that grew. We walked into class and something good happened. The Gryffindor's invited the Slytherins to sit beside them. I sat in the middle of Neville and Drew. Minni walked into the class and stood shocked.

I guess she did not believe what was happening since she rubbed her eye and blinked several times. The only people who did not seem happy about the situation was of course Ronald and Hermione. They sat beside each other away from the rest of the group.

When we were learning and practicing how to change our pin cushions into a animal of our choice, she glared at me not even paying attention to her own pin cushion. I changed mine into a ferret and floated it to Draco saying, "Hey here's a long lost family member. Say hi ferret." He rolled his eyes and petted it for a minute before floating it back to me.

Professor McGonagall congratulated me and gave me ten points for finishing it first and doing it perfectly. I then helped everybody but Ronald and Hermione if they needed it and I saw Minni busy with another student. By the end, Minni looked up and saw me helping Lavender and smiled.

She announced at the end of class, "Another ten points to Miss Potter for helping out when I was busy with another student."

Hermione opened her mouth to protests and do the same thing that she did in Charms but Minni saw and stated to her, "If you try and do the same thing that you did earlier I will not hesitate to take twenty points away and give you detention. I heard what you did with Professor Flitwick and I am completely disgusted that not only will you not leave a student alone and harass her but you also tried to get her in trouble when she did the right thing."

Hermione looked embarrassed and shocked that her own Head of House would not take her side and took my side. Sucks to be you Hermione. I smirked at her when the teachers back was turned. She glared at me and turned away. The rest of the day, she tried to do the same thing when I got points and was in the same class as her.

I had five classes the whole day and earned points in each of them for out of house cooperation and helping everybody after I did my own work. At the end of the day, I earned seventy five points. I earned fifteen in Potions and I earned ten in History of Magic. I really do not know how I got the points in that class but maybe it was for helping the kids study and I answered the questions that Binns asked correctly.

I advised the class to self-study and use it as a studying period. I told them to inform their head of house which was Professor Sprout. Speaking of I earned fifteen points in Herbology for not only knowing the answers to her questions but also helping out other students and giving them tips to make it easier for them.

Hermione lost in total sixty points and got in detention for a two weeks for not only what she did in Charms but she also insulted me and tried to get me in trouble by sabotaging my potion in class. We were brewing an anti-aging potion that exploded if you go it wrong and gave you wrinkles if it splattered on you. Ronald got caught in the cross-fire and had to go to the Hospital Wing to reverse it.

That cost her forty points and got her detention for three days but she ran her mouth and Sev extended it. I was trying so hard not to laugh at her expression when she knew she messed up and at Ronald's appearance.

She got another ten taken off when she tried to lie to Minni about me hexing her with a dark curse. She had no evidence and the curse that she told Minni that I hexed her with would leave a mark or evidence on her. That earned her another week of detention and a letter home to her parents about her behavior.

Dumbledore tried to make Minni go easy on her but she refused and outright called him biased and the worst thing that happened to Hogwarts. Since Hogwarts is a sentients being, when Dumbledore tried to fire Minni it did not work.

It stripped him of the power to fire teachers. Only Hogwarts can decide that now. The first thing she did was exorcise Professor Binns and fire Lockhart and she brought in new teachers that were competent.

In fact, the Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher was Sirius and the history teacher was Remus. That was fun and I am excited to learn with actual teachers that knew what they were teaching. The minute I saw them in the Great Hall, I ran up and hugged them. They laughed at my lack of decorum and the opposite of what a stereotypical Slytherin should act like.

i slapped them upside the head. Dumbledore tried to take away ten points for assaulting a teacher but Minni looked at me and said, "Twenty points to Slytherin for that heartwarming reunion and for not caring what other people think."

She smirked at the furious look on Dumbledore's face and that made him even more angry because he knew he could not do anything about it. She smiled at Sirius and hugged him surprisingly.

Remus and I looked at each other in shock of what she had done. Remus looked at Minni and asked, "Minni are you okay? You just hugged Sirius on your own like no one had to tell you to do that. You never do that."

Minni looked at Remus and scowled, "I am perfectly fine brat. I am just glad that he is not in Azkaban anymore for something he did not do. Sirius rubbed off on you has he? The old Remus would just laugh and not say something so James or Sirius like."

Snape looked at what was happening and smirked. It was amusing to watch Remus and Sirius get talked to like that from Minni. I have to agree with him, it was amusing. I summoned some popcorn while watching them banter back and forth not even realizing that we were still in the Great Hall where everybody was watching this happen too.

When the stopped, they realized the students and I were still watching them do this. They had to do a double take when they saw I was eating popcorn watching them. Sirius asked, "Prongslet where did you get popcorn from and can I try some?" I agreed and responded, "I summoned some from the kitchen, the house elves know I like popcorn and always has some on hand for me."

They laughed and Sirius tried some. he wanted more after because they were really good. I nodded and summoned some more from the kitchen and went back to my table after hugging them one more time.
