When Illusions Subside

"Kathleen D(?), Rachel Asheral, Lindsay Whittemore, Jacqueline Rossbach are the new students in Hogwarts... (yada yada yada)..."

Jackie cringed at her full name. "It's Jackie!"

Proffesor McGonagall smiled. "Pardon me, Jackie Rossbach."

The class welcomed them, well most of the class, the slytherins only accepted the girl, but me, I was a a Gryffindor, I guess our houses were enemies. This class was the only one with all the girls together. Rachel suddenly jumped out of her chair as a toad sat next to her on the desk.

"Eww, oh my gods get it away!"

"Trevor!" came a small boy, well he wasn't exactly small, but he was thin and dorky looking. "Sorry 'bout tha'..."

Rachel clung to Kathleen. "Whatever, just get it away!"

I smiled at the boy. "Don't worry, she doesn't bite."

He smiled sheepishly. "S-sorry again." Then he picked up the toad and scurried back to his seat. Odd people around here.

I leaned over to Jackie who was seated next to me laughing at Rachel.

"Did you fix Randall?"

She nodded. "Yeh, and Dumbledore the principal or whatever he is even got him an Owl, named Adon."

I laughed quietly. " You Francein' cerial?"

"Yup."

"Cool."

"Mmhm."

"Girls..."

We looked up to see Proffesor McGonagall staring down at us. "It's time to go to you're next class."

"Oh yeh, Sorry."

We all got up and left out the door into the corridor.

"So what's next?" I asked Jackie who had our schedule.

"Potions for us and Kathleen and Rachel have Divination."

"We have what?"

"Potions!"

The girls waved at us. "See you guys!" and then left down the hall to go find their class.

I laughed a little as we waved at them. "Potions, what is this an episode of Charmed?"

"Close enough." sniggered Jackie.

"Well lets go then."

I sat in the back next to a redheaded boy, and Jackie sat in front of us with a reven haired boy. The redhead turned to me.

"Hey, you're the new girls right?"

I nodded. "Yeh, I'm Lindsay and thats Jackie."

He smiled. "I'm Ron Weasley, and that there is Harry Potter."

Harry turned to us with his raven hair. "Hi, nice to meet you."

Jackie furrowed her brow. "Why does that sound familiar?"

I shrugged. "I dunno."

"Maybe cause Harry here is a legend, well in the Wizarding world anyway." Ron grinned and pated his friend on the back, who looked back at him with a 'yeh..' expression.

"Oh, erm, okay..."

"Is there a reason why you are talking through my lesson or is there a problem?"

We all looked up.

"Erm, no Proffesor Snape." said Ron a bit quietly, his face pale.

Jackie smirked, he's hott she thought.

"Is there something wrong Miss rossbach?" asked snape, turning his atteniton to the smirking and staring girl in front of him.

She nodded her head. "Yeh..."

"Yes what?"

"Your face!"

"What?!"

"What?" she asked innocently.

"Detention, tonight." He smirked. "You'll be cleaning cauldrons tonight Miss Rossbach."

"Wha-" she ighed and frowned in her seat. "Fine."

I looked away. "Sheeshers."

"What miss Whittemore?"

"Nothing, sir."

He turned and walked back up to the front, continuing his speech on some potion we were to create in class. This was going to be a long day.
