At breakfast,The first-years,along with other years got their timetables. "Oh no!" Ruby cried.
"What's wrong?" asked Jessie in alarm.
"We've got potions today,Wednesday and Friday! Tom said that the professor hates Gryffindor and he's awful" wailed Ruby.
"Maybe he was joking around? He told you that prefects are awful but,Luna's nice." Lavender pointed out.
"Are you talking about Lunatic Evergreen?" asked Axel. Luna looked up from her toast,surprised and looking like she was trying not to laugh ."My name is Luna-Lily,not Lunatic,Axel,I'm in your class,remember?" Luna reminded him. Her boyfriend,Jake,however had a different reaction and glared at him. "Back off,Redstone." He snapped,before returning to his bacon. Luna tapped him and asked him something as though nothing had happened.
The owls abruptly flew in and started delivering letters and packages to the students. Some of the students got quite a lot. A small first-year ravenclaw got a parcel and immediately opened it to reveal a book,a second-year gryffindor got a howler about flying a car to Hogwarts that seemed to go on forever and Luna-Lily Evergreen got both a letter and a rectangle-shaped parcel. She opened the letter and and quickly stuffed the parcel in her bag. Jake tapped her on the shoulder and Jessie could just hear the words book,disguise and charms.
After breakfast,Lavender led the other three girls to the first lesson which was Transfiguration. After about half an hour into the lesson,both Jessie and Lavender had both transfigured their matchsticks into very blunt needles. "How did you two do that? I tried all lesson but my matchstick only turned grey!" Ruby whined as the four wandered out the classroom. "Our needles were very blunt though, Ruby and it's only the first lesson." Jessie pointed out. Ruby brightened at that.
"What's next?" asked Emily,tossing her long dark red hair out of her eyes.
"Potions,then break. You and I better tie our hair back" Jessie replied,scanning the timetable and handing Emily a dark green hair tie before tying her own hair into a high ponytail both Lavender and Ruby had already tied their hair so,they simply stood and watched.
"Oh no,time for the moment of truth." Ruby opened the door and the four trooped in and sat together in pairs. Jessie and Ruby and Lavender and Emily. The teacher looked frightening,he looked like a vampire."There will not be any foolish wand-waving in this class." His voice was low,but the class caught all of what he said and shot each other nervous glances. Then the torment began.
They were brewing a shrinking potion and Jessie had stopped to talk to Emily behind her. "Miss Redstone! Kindly tell the class why you think your little chat with Miss Sparkle is more important than paying attention to your potion." Snape sneered. Ruby's short temper got the better of her. "Petrificus totalus!"She shouted, waving her froze and fell back.
"Ruby! What did you do?!" Lavender squeaked in horror.
"What? Wasn't it good enough? Fine. Stupi-"
"No! You shouldn't do that to teachers!" Emily cried. Jessie on the other hand was laughing.
"No potions today! We can all go!" She yelled gleefully and all the first-year students raced out cheering.
After locking Snape up in his storage cupboard, girls ran out of out of potions,laughing. "I liked potions!" Giggled Ruby.
The first-years decided the best place to go was their respective common rooms. What they didn't know was that that was that was where the seventh years were studying. The more studious seventh years got angry and chased the first years around Hogwarts for the rest of their hour.
"Hey,Jessie,what did you just have?" asked Petra as she caught up to the girls.
"Getting chased around Hogwarts by seventh years." Jessie spat out the word like it was poison."Unlucky." Petra smiled before walking off,obviously not noticing what her sister had just said. Ruby had gone pale.
"Is that your sister? She beat Tom up last year!" Ruby cried.
"Oh,Thomas Goodwing? He was stalking Petra around the school." Jessie said looked fierce. "How he managed to be a Gryffindor is beyond me,he should of been a Slytherin."
"Hi Luna." Maria waved at her friend who walked over with a serious expression on her face. "Do you know any good charms to disguise something?" she asked urgently."Yes, but why? Didn't you already get that sorted out?" asked Maria.
"Yes,but," Luna broke off,glanced around to see no one was watching and pulled out the book her mother had sent her. "Oh,right." After Maria had shown Luna how to cast the charm,she told her about what had happened before break.
"The kids just burst in cheering,I don't know why they weren't in lessons,apparently the same went for the other houses,but,basically,let's just say we gave the first-years a lot of exercise...by chasing them around Hogwarts until break time!" Maria threw her hand in the air dramatically. Luna sighed. "Don't tell me you hexed them too."
"I didn't,although I did have a weapon,namely, a thick hardback book's spine!" Maria cheered. Luna shook her head.
After break
Axel groaned as he glanced his time table. Jessie was walking past and stared up at him."What's up?" asked Petra who was also walking past. A familiar blonde-haired girl hurried over. "I'm sorry but,you'll all be late for your next lesson." Luna said apologetically."Don't you have anything better to do,Lunatic? At least the teachers actually like you. you waltzed in when the lesson was over twice and you still didn't get detention! " Axel snapped. Luna went pink and was saved from answering by Jessie
"What do you two have?" asked Jessie.
"Potions." Luna replied,sounding a little crestfallen.
"No need to go to that lesson!" Jessie giggled.
"Why?" asked Petra suspiciously. Jessie tapped her nose.
"Jessica Alice Redstone! What did you do?!" Petra snapped.
"Ruby did the full body bind curse on the vampire." Jessie snickered,before running off to charms. Petra rolled her eyes and went to transfiguration,muttering something that sounded like,'little sisters'.
No one noticed that Luna had run off while Petra was yelling at Jessie and she came back looking pale. "Come on." She ordered Axel,who didn't move.
"I'm older than you." he retorted.
"Only by a few months and I'm prefect. Come on,Axel Redstone,before I take points off Gryffindor!" Luna snapped. "Why do I have to come?" Axel complained. They had gotten near the potions lab.
"Because it was your little sister's friend who did the full body-bind curse on Professor Snape." Luna replied. Axel rolled his eyes and opened the door,not noticing Luna start to look nauseous."Oh,and that makes me-HEY LUNATIC,YOU DO NOT GET TO RUN OFF ON ME!" Axel yelled at Luna as she suddenly turned and ran off for the second time in about ten minutes.
After about five minutes,Luna came back. "What was that all about?" asked Axel.
"Nothing!" Luna said quickly and hurried into the classroom. It looked like everyone in their class had noticed Snape wasn't there and had gone elsewhere,as it was empty. Luna opened a closet and jumped as Snape fell out at her feet. Luna quickly cast the counter charm and soon Snape was right again.
