The next morning, Micky woke up, got ready and into her school uniform. She was just about to leave when she looked around to see Kassi was still asleep so she chucked a pillow off her head.
"Oi, wake up. We need to go downstairs to get our timetables."
"Leave me alone. I don't want to go."
"Kassi, we're going to miss breakfast if you don't hurry up"
That got her up and very soon they were both fully ready and they walked down to the great hall to get their breakfast. While they were eating the new years timetables came round.
Micky took hers and had a glance at what she had today; safe to say it didn't look good.
9:00-11:00- Double potions 11:00-11:20-Break 11:20-12:20-History of Magic 12:20-13:20-Lunch 13:20-15:20- Double divination.
Before Micky could say a word, her thoughts were verbalised by Kassi,
"Oh great! Snape, Binns and Trelawney all in one day."
Micky had to agree, this wasn't going to be one their better days. Neither of them wanted to give Snape a reason to give them detention on the first day, so they started to make their way to the dungeons.
Once they get there they realised someone had already beaten them. Fred and George were already there, attempting to set up some dungbombs on the door as a practical joke on Snape. Micky half-laughed and said,
"You do realise your going to get killed if he catches you?"
"Yeah we do, and so what, it'll be worth it just to see the results. Unless you're going to turn us in Black."
"No! I'm not going to report you, why would I? And besides I probably won't have to, he'll know who it is straight away."
"Yeah well, hey Kassi do you want to give us a hand?"
Kassi nodded eagerly and they had just finished setting up and got down with the rest of the class just before Snape came out of the door- SLAM!
The net of dungbombs fell down and the smell went everywhere. Some of the students ran off and Micky just stood there holding her breath. Mostly to stop herself from breathing the stench, but also partially to hold back her laughter. Easily, Snape managed to get rid of the fumes and he eventually got everyone into the classroom. He then turned to the class in a controlled rage only he could muster,
"If I ever find out which low life idiot planted those bombs they're going to be very sorry indeed." He said this while looking straight at Fred and George, who were trying their best to look as confused as the rest of the class.
He then started the lesson. No one was looking forward to this, two hours of potions was always nightmare. For the first hour though all he did was rant on about how important your OWLs were for the next few years in school and in their future careers. A talk that soon had the whole class bored to tears.
The bell couldn't have gone soon enough for their liking, and they were soon flooding out of the classroom. Kassi turned to Micky,
"Do you think we're going to get that talk in all of our lessons?"
"More than likely." Micky replied, "One thing I can safely say is: It's going to be a hell of a long year."
After break they slowly made their way to the History of Magic classroom. This was one of those classes no one saw the point in. It was never going to help them out in life and the most anyone ever did in class was fall asleep, and Binns didn't seem to care.
Today though everyone was actually hoping he started to drone on about the OWLs and how important they were that meant everyone could catch up on an hours sleep before lunch. And thankfully he did. Within five minutes of the lesson, heads were down on the desk, snoring and the little ghost didn't seem to notice.
When they went down for lunch there were some third years already at the Gryffindor table holding the days newspaper. As they got closer Micky and Kassi heard some of the conversation.
"Black's been spotted!"
"Where?"
"In Dufftown, hey wait that's not that far from here."
As Micky walked by all eyes fell on her and followed her as they sat down. Kassi sat down opposite,
"What's all that about?"
"Think about Kassi: Sirius Black, Michaela Black. I just waiting now for someone to ask if he's a relative."
With that Micky put her head down and started to eat her lunch, Kassi couldn't resist,
"Is he?"
Micky didn't say anything at first and just slowly lifted her head to look Kassi in the eye again and raised her eyebrow.
"What do you think?"
"Well he could be."
"Could be but isn't."
She was about to start eating again when she saw Marcus Flint, a big Slytherin fifth year, coming towards them out of the corner of her eye. Micky didn't want to fight, she didn't like it, but she didn't have to be a seer to see one coming. Micky and Flint had had a feud going on for a few years now, or rather Flint hated Micky greatly and she had learnt to put up with it.
She turned her head to her left, Flint was standing halfway along the Gryffindor table.
"Hey Black!" He yelled out. "How long do you think it's going to be before your dear family comes charging into the school then?"
Micky just wanted him to leave, but she still couldn't resist a chance to humiliate him, so she shouted back,
"Couldn't tell you, but when he gets here, I'll be sure to direct him your way, ok Flint?"
His face dropped slightly, but he didn't want to lose that easily to a girl.
"Yeah and you'll be with him won't you, joining in with the fun."
Micky was going to reply but then he noticed Prof. Lupin coming behind him, so she said,
"Oh, hi sir."
Flint smiled "I'm not falling for that one Black."
He then got his wand out and was about to charm Micky, but then it got knocked out of his hand. He turned around and Lupin was there, just slipping his wand back into his cloak.
"Isn't it a bit cowardly for a man to be attacking a girl?" He said calmly "Especially when they are unarmed."
Even Flint wasn't stupid enough to confront a teacher, "Yes it is sir." He picked up his wand and ran off quickly.
Lupin watched to make sure he went back to his table and then turned back around gave Micky a weak smile and then walked off.
She turned to Kassi, who just looked at her, shrugged her shoulders and said,
"Come on we'll be late for Divination. And we both know how much you love that."
Micky looked at her, "Yeah, lets see how long we can go this lesson before she says my dad's going to die in some horrific fashion." They both laughed at this and made their way to the North Tower. Just as they were leaving the great hall Kassi turned to Micky again,
"One thing I will say, that Lupin guy stole your thunder didn't he."
"I'd rather not talk about it."
Although the Lupin incident in the great hall was forgotten about by the time they reached the north tower. Micky was now pondering in her mind why on earth she chose to take divination, she actually couldn't recall a lesson in which herself or her dad was not apparently going to die horribly. She was starting to hate Trelawney more and more and she knew this year was going to be no exception.
Both of them climbed up the ladder sat down and waited for the teacher to arrive. Eventually she came out of her little side room with a big pile of books following her. The books then started to hand themselves out to the students, it was entitled THE DREAM ORACLE.
"Now class, this term as you can see, we will be studying the meaning behind the dream." she said in her usual airy manner.
All Micky heard next to her was,
"No sh*t Sherlock." Kassi whispered to her and she tried to hold back a snigger as Trelawney started to move around the class.
"Right now everyone, I want you to split up into pairs and, using this book, I want you attempt to decipher your partners dream."
Both Micky and Kassi opened the book and started to glance through it. Kassi gave up straight away and even Micky had to admit this was ridiculous. Neither of them could make heads or tails of the book, so they just started talking about random things instead, quickly taking up the book whenever the professor came near.
"Can even ever remember your dreams Micky?"
"No, I don't even think dream, and that's good enough for me. I don't want old memories coming back."
"Your mam?"
"Exactly."
At that moment Trelawney came by, so they quickly picked up their books and pretended to read them. Micky caught her eye and the face she made was picture.
The two hours seemed to drag by and when the bell finally rang everyone was so relieved to get out of there. They went back to the common room to wait until it was time for tea.
"Well she didn't say anything this lesson Micky, write that down in the history books." Kassi said to her.
"No I don't think I will, if you saw the way she kept looking at me, she looked as though she was about to burst into tears at any minute."
"What she got against you?"
"I don't know" Mickey replied then she saw two first years fighting in the corner. So she walked over,
"Alright break it up, no fighting!" Amazingly they listened and went to separate ends of the common room. She sat back down and Kassi just laughed,
"Six simple words and they obey without question, now you see why they chose you?"
"Whatever."
After tea a little later on they returned to the common room and, with Fred and George, talked about inventive ways to kill some of the teachers, when they overheard some of the forth years talking about Prof. Lupin.
They were all saying how great he was and that they couldn't wait for their next lesson. Micky and Kassi just looked at each other, both of them had had their fair share of DADA teachers and none of them had ever been brilliant so what was so special about this new one? No teacher's that good are they?
I don't know how the lessons are actually structured at Hogwarts, so the timtable is based off my own.
