Disclamer: I don't any Harry Potter people or places that J.K. Rowling rights but I do own my Oc's

Ch.6

The next day as I headed down to the great hall my hair look dishevels my eyes were red from crying all night. I put on a brave smile but it didn't work even the weather was matching my mood a dull, cloudy gray. Hermione was reading her copy of Voyages with Vampires.

"Hermione I can't understand why you like him" I said my voice was horse.

"Sam what happen?" I heard and turn to see Harry and Ron coming in after me.

"My grandmother just dies last night." I whisper out.

"Oh, Sam I'm so sorry." Harry said hugging me.

"Thanks Harry." I said back.

Hermione wouldn't say anything the two of them but Neville happily did.

"Mail's due any minute I think Gran's sending a few things I left." Neville said. Harry didn't get a change to say anything because the owl's came flying in Sagitta follow by.

"Errol." Ron called. Grabbing the old owl that went unconscious with a red envelope in his beak.

"Ron you're so dead." I said looking that the holwer.

"Oh, no." Ron yelped.

"He still alive." Hermione said petting Errol lightly.

"It's not that – it's that" Ron whisper out pointing the holwer.

"What's the matter?" Harry said.

"She's she's sent me a holwer." Ron whisper.

"You'd better open it, Ron" Neville whisper out.

"It'll be worse if you don't My Gran sent me one once, and I didn't-" He gulped. "It was horrible."

"What's a holwer?"Harry asked.

"You're finding out if Ron opens it." I said to him. The holwer started to burn.

"Open it," Neville cried. 'It'll be over in a few minutes." Ron grabbed the holwer and opened it.

Neville and I covered are ears. I knew it was Mrs. Weasley voice yelling that Ron for the flying car stuff. Ron sank lower and lowers in his chair to hide. After the howler burned into ashes some people laughed but then it went back to normal. Hermione closed her Voyages with Vampires and that Ron head.

"Well, I don't know what you were excepted, Ron but you-" Hermione said.

"-Don't tell me I heard it" Ron growled back. Harry pushed his plate away.

Professor McGonagall came walking down handing out schedules.

"I'm sorry again for your lose Miss. Sullivan." She said.

"Thanks Professor," I said. "We got Double Herbology with the Hufflepuff first."

As we headed out passing the veg patch and made are way to the Green house. My black bag lay swinging back and forth. As we got closers to the green houses Professor Sprout was nowhere to be seen the rest of the class were waiting.

"Hey Hannah." I said.

"Oh, Sam I'm sorry about your Grandmother." Hannah said back.

"Thanks Hannah." I said back. Professor Sprout can into view with Professor Lockhart he was wearing turquoise robes.

"Oh, hello there!" He called, beaming at all of us. "Just been showing Professor Sprout the right way to doctor a whopping Willow! But I don't want you running away with the idea that I'm better at Herbology then she is! I just happen to have met several of these exotic plants on my travels…."

"Green house three today, chaps!" Professor Sprout shouted.

This was the first time we had never been in it before. Professor Sprout took out a key from her belt and unlocked the door. The smell of the green house was great. Harry went to follow the rest of us but got grab by Professor Lockhart.

"Where Harry?" I asked to Ron.

"Lockhart grabs him" Ron said back.

"Great" I whisper back.

We waited for a while then Harry came in and stood between Ron and me.

"We'll be repotting Mandrakes today, how who can tell me the properties of mandrake?" Professor Sprout asked. Like normal Hermione hand went flying up first

"Mandrake or Mandragora is a powerful restorative," Hermione said. "It is used to return people who have been transfigured or cursed to their normal state."

"Correct ten points to Gryffindor" Professor Sprout said back.

"Go Hermione." I whisper.

"The Mandrakes forms an important to most antidotes. It is also very dangerous. Who can tell me why?" Professor Sprout said.

Hermione hand went flying up again "The cry of the Mandrake is fatal to anyone who hears It." she said.

"Correct take another ten points," Professor Sprout said "Now, the Mandrakes we have are still very young." She pointed to the table in front of us. "Everyone took a pair of earmuffs" she said.

They was fight for the earmuffs mainly not to get the fluffy pink one after getting a pair of the earmuffs. "Well I tell you went to put on, make sure your ears are covered completely your ears. Went it safe to remove them, I will give you the thumbs up, right – earmuffs on."

We all pulled them on it were soundproof. Professor Sprout put the pink earmuffs over her own ears, pulling up her robes sleeves, grasped one of the plants and pulled up hard the mandrakes look like a but ugly baby of the earth. Professor Sprout pulled a pot from under the table and plunged the Mandrake in to the soil till the leaves were showing. She gave us the thumbs up and took off her earmuffs follow up us. "As your Mandrakes are only seedlings, their cries won't kill yet," she said "However, they cries will knock you out for several hours and as I'm none of you want to miss your first day back, make sure your earmuffs are securely in place while you work. I will get your attention when it time to pack up." "Four to a tray- there is a large supply of pots here- compost in the sacks over there and be careful of the venomous tentacula, it's teething." She said slapping a dark red, spiky plant as she spoke making it drawback it long feelers that had been inching sneaking over her shoulder.

Julia, Hannah, and I were working with Ernie Macmillan. We went right to work the Mandrake that I was working with was a sweet heart. By the end of the class we were all covered in dirt I headed to the first bathroom and clean off and headed to Transfiguration. Professor McGonagall's class was hard but today was easy for Hermione and me. We were supposed to turn beetle in to a button I was able to create a few band pins two were Holyheads Harpies, and the other two were the weird sisters. Professor McGonagall's was not happy with Harry and Ron. As the lunch bell went off to the great hall. Ron mood was still down after Hermione show the coat button.

"What do we have next?" Harry asked. Trying to change Ron mood.

"Defense against the Dark arts" Hermione said at once.

"Why!" Ron yelled grabbing her schedule, "Have you outlined all Lockhart's lessons in little hearts?"

Hermione grab her schedule back blushing like a cherry. After we were done eating we headed outside for some air. Hermione and Julia were sitting on the steps rereading Voyages with Vampires.

"I'm telling you Ron Holy head Harpies are the best team in the League." I said.

"No Sam, the Chudley Cannons are the best team" Ron said back.

"Ron, they one of the worst team in the league." I said back.

Harry look up we follow his glace to see a little first year with mousey brown hair and brown eyes. He was holding a muggle camera he went all red from bushing after Harry looks up that him.

"All right, they Harry? I'm-I'm Colin Creevey" He said walking over. "I'm in Gryffindor too. D'you thinks would it be all right if I can have a picture?" He said holding up the Camera.

"A picture?" Harry asked.

"So I can prove I've met you," Colin said "I know all about you. Everyone's told me about how you survived when who-Know- who tell to kill you and how he disappeared and everything and how you're still got a lightning scar on your forehead" he eyes were looking his forehead. "A boy in my dormitory said if I developed the film in the right potion, the pictures' move." He said.

My brain started to hurt so I went to go sit by Hermione and Julia holding the side of my head.

"Sam are you ok?" Julia asked.

"I think so." I said back.

"Signed photos? You're giving out signed photos, Potter?" I heard Malfoy voice.

"I do bevile he is Draco" I a female voice said. I took up and saw Anna Hilts. They is only one word to describe Anna evil. She was out to kill me for some unknown reason she had long brown hair and green eyes which were behind glasses she was normal height.

"Hello Samantha, why you're looking lovely today." Ryan Adams said. Ryan was like a lovesick puppy he had short black hair and brown eyes he was tall.

"Buzz off Adams." I growled back.

"Shut up Sullivan." Anna said back.

They were flanked by Crabbe and Goyle.

"Everyone line up Potter is giving out signed photos!" Malfoy called.

"No I'm not," Harry said back growling. "Shut up, Malfoy."

"You're just jealous." Colin piped up. My head started to hurt me again.

"Julia I'm going to head up to the hospital wing." I said pushing myself up from the stone steps.

"I'll come with you Samantha." Ryan said.

"No thanks, Ryan." I growled back pulling my bag over my shoulder and heading up to the hospital wing.

As I went into the hospital wing Madam Pomfrey was sitting behind her desk.

"Madam Pomfrey!" I called.

"Yes Miss. Sullivan," She said. "What can I do for you?"

"I've been having bad headaches." I said.

"Go sit down on one of the bed and I give you something to take." she said back.

I did as I was told. She came over and gave me some head mediate and they I headed to class and sat in the back of the class. Next to Dustin Professor Lockhart pick up Neville's copy of Travels with trolls.

"Me," He said "Gilderoy Lockhart, order of Merlin, three class, honorary member of the dark force defense league, five-time winner of witch weekly most charming- smile Award- but I don't talk about that. I didn't get rid of the Brandon Banshee by smiling that her,!"

Some people smile as he said this.

"I see you all bought my complete set of my books well worry about just to check how well you have read them, how much you're takin in." He then handed out the test and returned back to his desk. "You have thirty minutes start- now" I look down that the test and hide a laughed

"1. What is Gilderoy Lockhart favorite color?" I wrote "I don't care" Dustin gave me a look I smirked back he smirked half an hour later, Professor Lockhart took back the test and grade them "Tit, tit hardly any of you that my favorite color is lilac." He said.

"What a self center freak." I whisper to Dustin.

"My Mum said he great but I can't stand him." Dustin whisper back. I laughed under my breath.

"Now be warned it my job to help you to protect yourselves against the foulest creatures known to wizard kind," he said lifting a large covered cage onto his desk. "I must ask you not to scream, it might provoke them," he put off the cover to show Cornish pixies with the electric blue color and where eight inches with pointed faces bugs like eyes. "Freshly caught Cornish pixies." He said. Seamus lost it and started too laughed.

"Yes?" Professor Lockhart asked.

"Well, they're not very dangerous are they?" Seamus asked.

"Right then," Professor Lockhart said loud. "Let's sees what you make of them!"

He opened the door to the cage. It was crazy Pixies went flying everywhere attacking everyone destroys books. A few grab Neville by the ears and pulled him up to drop him on to the chandelier. Harry and Ron were hitting them away with their books. Dustin pulled me down he landed on top of me his lips barley miss me.
"Sorry." He whispers blushing I blushed back. As he pushed himself up and off me.

"Come on now – round them up they only pixies!" Professor Lockhart called over the screaming.

Hermione pulled out her wand and cried "Impedimenta" the pixies stop in mid step or fly and just hovered the bell went off. Everyone went running out.

"The rest of you please put them back into their cage" Professor Lockhart said to Harry, Ron, Hermione, and I. We grab them and push them back into their cage and help Neville down from the chandelier.

Tell me what you think but be nice about.
