Suddenly a lime-green Fanged Frisbee flies at you and hits you in the face.
You hold your nose: "Owww! My nose! Damnit WHO the HELL did that?"
You get up and see two kids running up to the castle.
You: "YOU LITTLE PRATS GET BACK DOWN HERE!" You start to head up to the castle when Fred stops you: "Hey, it's ok, probably just some first years. Is your nose ok?" He looks at you with concern.
You: "Yeah...sorta...Damn that hurt though. Does it look ok?"
Fred smiles: "It looks beautiful."
You: "My nose looks beautiful?"
Fred: "No, you do"
You smile and he moves closer to you.
Harry: "HEY! FRED, LEXI!"
Damnit!
(Freds POV)
Damnit!
(Your POV)
You blush and turn away to see Harry: "Oh...Hey Harry, Ron. Whats up?"
Ron: "Not much... What were you guys doing?"
Fred: "Uhh, well, ummm, you see-"
You: "He was checking to see if I my nose was ok; some prat threw this Fanged Frisbee at me and it hit me in the face."
Ron & Harry: "Riiiight."
Ron: "Can I have it?"
You: "Have what?"
Ron "The Frisbee, I've always wanted one."
You: "Yeah, sure whatever." you give him the snarling Fanged Frisbee.
Ron admires it: "Thanks."
Harry: "Well anyway Hermione wanted us to get you two. She had to go to class, but she wants us to get some of our homework done during the break."
Ron: "She would kill us if we didn't, plus we wouldn't be able to copy her notes in class..." He shrugs.
You: "Well, umm, guess we should go to the library?"
Fred: "Yeah, umm, I'm going to find George. We gotta work on some...uh...stuff," You raise your eyebrow at him, "Well guess I will see you in Potions Lexi. Bye." He starts to walk away but you stop him and give him a hug: "See you later."
Harry, Ron, and you all start up to the castle and into the library.
Ron: "Soo, Lexi, what's with you and my brother?"
You feel yourself blush and can tell both him and Harry are looking at you.
You: "Nothing, we're just...friends. We just wanted to ya know, get to know each other better..."
Oh God that sounded bad...
Ron: "Get to know each other better, huh?"
Ron and Harry chuckle and you blush.
You: "You know what I meant, like I wanted to know about his home life and stuff."
Harry: "Ok whatever you say..." It's pretty much silent until you get to the library.
You: "So what homework do you guys have?"
Ron: "Well Herbology and Defense Against The Dark Arts..."
Harry: "God I HATE that class. She really looks like a bloody toad. And that voice! It drives me insane!"
You: "Who's the teacher?"
Ron: "The most evil teacher ever. Even worse than Snape, if you ask me! Her name is Professor Umbridge. She seriously looks like a big chubby toad and has a really girly voice. Gave Harry detention for speaking out. He caused total chaos." He smiles
You: "Hey isn't that the same lady that interrupted Dumbledore at the feast?"
Harry nods: "Yeah, she really is a twit. We don't even get to use our wands. We just read out of some stupid book all period."
You: "Damn, that does sound bad. I think I have her tomorrow. Well anyway we should probably get started; we only have like 20 minutes left. Let's do the Herbology homework because that's one class I am really good at."
You all start doing the homework. Well actually it mostly consists of you finding the answers and then Harry and Ron copying them down. You finish with a few minutes left in the break.
You: "Well, this was fun. At least you finished explaining the Venomous Tentacula. It's pretty wicked looking. But yeah I guess we should head out. I have Potions next so I gotta find Fred and-"
Ron: "Kiss him?"
You blush: "No! Ron you're such a git sometimes, you know that right?"
Harry and Ron laugh.
Harry: "Well, I guess we will see you at supper than?"
You: "Yeah, bye, stay outta trouble!" You wave as they left the library.
Great, now I gotta find Fred...
You gather up your stuff and walk around the corner when suddenly someone crashes into you.
You: "Oh God, sorry I didn't see you the-"You stop mid sentence to see a very gorgeous guy. He has blonde hair and piercing blue eyes and is so very handsome.
Gorgy Guy: "Watch where you're going! Who are you anyway? Some mud-blood Gryffindor?"
WHAT THE HELL?
You: "I'm Alexis Perez, Pure-blood actually, and who are you? I mean besides a nasty git?" You smile sweetly and grab your bag off the floor.
Gorgy, but really rude guy: "The name's Draco Malfoy. I would suggest not calling people of high stature names, could cost you." He puts his face inches away from yours.
You hear the bell ring, signaling that the lunch break has ended.
You: "Well, nice to meet you Draco. But I have better things to do than have you stare at me...bye" You walk away from him.
Draco: "Don't walk away from me, bitch!" You don't listen to the rest of what he says because you had just found Fred.
You: "FRED! FRED!"
Fred spins around: "Hey Lexi, but I'm not Fred...I'm George."
You blush a little: "Oh sorry George, you guys are sorta hard to tell apart, ya know? Well do you know where Fred is? Cause we have Potions together right now."
George: "Yeah, we were just up in the commons working on stuff. He should be coming down soon. Want me to walk you to your class; you can always just meet him there."
You: "Yeah sure! Thanks. I'm always afraid I am going to get totally lost, ya know? I mean has anyone really ever gotten lost before?" You just made it to the ground floor.
George: 'Actually first years always seem to get lost; they usually turn up in a few days. I don't think anyone has been gone for more than a week or two." He smiled and keeps walking. You just look at him, scared and wondering if he is telling the truth.
George: "I'm just messing with you," you sigh with relief, "you're almost as gullible as Ron. Well here we are, Fred should be down here in a minute or two."
You hug George: "Thanks for walking me! See you at supper?"
He starts up the dungeon stairs: "Yeah, have a good time" He smirks and continues up the stairs.
Man, it's so cold down here. I kinda like it though. Looks sorta like the place in my dream.
You shudder at the thought of the dream you had awhile ago. You hadn't really thought about it since it had happened.
It probably meant nothing. I think I just ate too many Peppermint Toads.
Some kid interrupts your thoughts: "Look who we have here. Alexis Perez, I guess we meet again." You whirl around to see Draco Malfoy and a couple of his friends.
You: "Look who's here, the nasty little git. Why don't you are your goons here find a first year to pick on because I really don't want to listen to your crap."
Draco: "You see I would, if you weren't standing in front of my next class" He smirks at you.
How can such a gorgeous guy be such a git?
You: "You are in this class? This is for 7th years' hun."
Draco: "Yes, but Professor Snape allowed me in class. He says I am exceptional with potion making."
You: "Yeah whatever...Hey Fred!" You push pass Draco and hug Fred.
Fred: "Hey, sorry it took me forever to get here. I had some problems I had to deal with."
Draco: "So this is the company you keep? Weasleys? I'm guessing you hang out with that Potter and that filthy Mud-Blood, Granger, too?"
You: "I really don't think that's any of your business, but yes I do. Is that a problem for you?" You don't give him time to answer and you and Fred walk into the darkly lit classroom.
You: "So what's up?"
Fred: "Nothing much, I see you met Draco. Nasty little git."
You: "Yeah actually I ran into him when I was leaving the library. But whatever that's old news. This class doesn't look likes it's going to be too bad. I mean with you in it it's definitely not going to be bad. But I actually like Potions class. I'm pretty good at it. Do we get to have partners? Cause we could totally be a good couple, I mean we could be good partners." Both of you blush.
Fred: "Yeah w-"
SMACK! Suddenly the door to the class room flies open.
Eww! Does he ever take a shower? And why does Fred always get cut off?
He had a hooked nose and greasy black hair. His black robes bellowed behind him as he walked to the front of the classroom.
Professor: "I, as all of you should know, am Professor Snape. I am your Potions teacher. I will have no goofing off or talking in my classroom. Any student doing so will lose house points and have detention faster than you can say 'Veritaserum'." He walks up to a black board to the left of his desk and swishes his wand around. Words start to appear on the board.
Prof. Snape: "The directions are on the board for making Draught of the Living Dead, get started."
You: "We have Slytherins is this class? And isn't Draco a 5th year?
Prof. Snape: "Perez, what did you not understand about no talking?"
You: "Umm, the no part?" Fred stifles a laugh.
Prof. Snape gets a funny look on his face: "10 points from Gryffindor because of Ms. Perez's inability to listen to directions and for talking back." You stare at him not knowing what to do or say. What a prat!
Prof. Snape: "I suggest you start with your potion before time runs out and I have to give an F for the day and detention." He sneers and continues looking through the papers on his desk.
You: "What an ass!" you whisper to Fred.
Fred: "Yeah I know."
You both go over to get the ingredients.
Fred: "What are we supposed to get?"
You: "Umm," you look at the board, "asphodel in an infusion of wormwood, valerian roots, and sopophorous beans." You grab the stuff and walk back to your table.
Fred: "Lexi can you help me? I have no idea what to do."
You: "Why don't you just look at the...never mind, I will help you..."
The rest of the class consists of you giving directions to Fred. Only one kid, Adrian Pucey from Slytherin, manages to mess up the potion. He had been using 'Advanced Potion-Making', the book which Professor Snape had said was wrong and to just follow the directions on the board. The kid didn't know that a clockwise stir should be added after every seventh counter-clockwise stir. Instead of having, like everyone else, a black currant color at the half way mark he had an acid green color. It was also emitting a black colored smoke.
Prof. Snape: "Everyone stop what you are doing, put your ingredients away. Then fill your flask with some of the potion, put your name on it, and put it on my desk, except you Mr. Pucey; you will be spending time in detention with me Friday making the potion right." You and Fred fill your flasks with the lilac blue liquid and then empty your cauldrons.
You: "See that wasn't hard at all. I had fun." Fred and you walk up to the commons.
Fred: "Yeah it was ok, thanks for helping me. I probably would have ended up like Pucey." He gives you a hug.
You: "I am just happy classes are over for today! I'm so hungry. Banana Fritters." You walk through the portrait to see Hermione sitting on the couch with Crookshanks.
