I was running down the corridors to make it in time for Herbology. I was so late.

I know, I know. A Ravenclaw? Late? To her first lesson of the year? Well, now that's a story you can't miss.

Flashback

I awoke immediately as I heard a loud thud. I looked around the room, waiting for my eyes to adjust to the dark and saw that Luna just stumbled upon some books that were laying on the floor.

'She must be sleep walking again' I though. Sighing I got off my bed and went near her trying to wake her up.

"Luna" I whispered, "Luna, wake up" I shook her a bit but nothing. 'Man, she's a heavy sleeper' I took her by her left arm and led her to her bed. 'At least she is cooperating' I thought while laying her down and waiting a few minutes to see if she would wake again or she'd go to sleep. Fortunately, she did fell asleep. Unfortunately, I didn't anymore.

I looked at the clock '4 p.m. Oh man, I still need a few hours of sleep'. Tossing around in my bed, trying to fall asleep again seemed to be useless. I decided I should change and go downstairs in the Common Room.

Looking around the Common Room it seemed as someone has just been there. 'Strange' I thought. I sat down on the sofa and looked at the fireplace. 'Fire, so calming, so warm' I thought before slowly drifting to sleep. And what seemed like a few moments, I heard my name being called.

"Evelyn" said a soft voice "Evelyn, wake up. It's time to have breakfast" I slowly opened my eyes to see Blair shaking me softly.

"Morning" I said yawning. Stretching I got up and saw that Blair brought me my bag with books and everything. "Thank you" I said smiling to her.

"We should move now" she said and was already outside of the Common Room.

"Hei! Wait for me you traitor!" I said running to catch up with her. We walked together to the Great Hall in silence. Until she broke it.

"Evelyn." She said looking at me with a serious expression.

"Hm?" I replied still a bit sleepy.

"You should really try and talk to him. You know, clear up things" she continued "At least try to be nice" I sighed, I knew she was right.

"I guess so. I mean it can't go worse than it is now, right?" I asked hopefully. She just nodded.

As soon as we reached the Great Hall I saw students from all the schools chatting around, getting to know each other. I scanned the room for the red head and, of course, he was at the Gryffindor table with his twin. I took a deep breath and went to say hi to them. They won't bite, will they?

'Hei guys, how's it going?' I said sitting in between them. At first they seemed surprised but then they gave each other a mischievous smile and looked at me.

'Why dear Evie, what brings you here?' said George throwing his arm over my shoulders and bringing me next to him. Unable to see anything I tried to free myself from him before I suffocated.

"Just trying to be friendly, is all" I muffled while trying to free myself. As soon as I manage to do so, my hair looked as if I just got into a fight with pixies. 'Great' I thought.

"Here," said Fred handing me a cup full of pumpkin juice, "you seem thirsty" I eyed it suspiciously. He noticed and said "I promise there's nothing wrong with it. Look" he took a sip of it. I smiled as he gave it to me and took a few sips from it. But as soon as it went down my throat I could feel the salty taste of scurvy grass, which meant only one thing. The pumpkin juice they gave me was spiced with some kind of potion. As I tried to look around I already felt dizzy and confused. 'Great. Note to self: never ever again trust the Weasleys'

"Why, Lee. Stop talking. Your breath smells like a troll's. When was the last time you washed your teeth?" as soon as the words escaped my mouth I felt bad and give him an apologetic look.

'It's Befuddlement Draught they put in the pumpkin juice! For the love of nature, why!'

"Oh my goodness, Angelina. I wish Protego could shield me from your ugliness." the words kept slipping. She looked at me angrily and stood up from the table. The twins were already laughing off their seats.

"Thanks a lot WeaselB" I said trying to sound angry but then another stupid thing escaped my mouth "You think you guys are funny, but you're just losers. You'll never get anywhere with your pranks and childish ways. I hate you, both of you!" now I was furious. 'Damn you' I thought and stormed off from the Great Hall.

'What am I supposed to do now? Oh no, Harry is coming this way' I tried to take another turn but Harry caught me before I could lose him.

"Evelyn! Wait up!" he said reaching me. I simply waved hoping I could just shut up before saying something mean.

"You ok?" he asked me with a concerned look, again I just nodded. "You sure?" he continued.

"I'm damn sure of it Potter. Why don't you just take a long walk into a broken vanishing cabinet?" I sneered at him and regretted it immediately. I wanted to say something else but I was afraid to, so I just went away before ruining everything. Poor Harry just stood there not believing what he just heard.

I went into the Prefects bathroom on the fifth floor and just waited there till the effect of the potion wore off. Unfortunately I didn't have much time, only a few minutes and the lesson would start.

'Damn you Weasels, damn you'

After 20 minutes I couldn't stand it anymore so I just decided to go to class either way, hoping I won't insult anyone else.

End of flashback

So yeah, here I was running down the halls hoping that the potion's effect wore off and that Professor Sprout won't be mad, not that mad at me.

As I reached the classroom I could see Blair in the first row standing all alone and she gave me a curios look. I was still afraid to talk.

"Miss Moore, where have you been? Class has already started 10 minutes ago" Professor Sprout said.

"I-" I started but the Professor interrupted me "Let it be the first and last time it happens. Take a sit please" she said before turning back to explaining about the Herbivicus charm.

"What happened? Where did you go after breakfast?" Blair whispered to me. I didn't answer, but gave her a sad look which she understood that something wasn't right.

The bell rang and we walked silently to our next lesson which was Care of Magical Creatures. It went by pretty fast. Blair tried to make me talk but I didn't say anything, not because the potion didn't wear off, but I was so mad I just wasn't feeling like saying anything at all to anyone. Harry eyed me all the time, he really looked hurt.

As soon as the period finished I excused myself from Blair and went straight to Harry who was already walking away with Hermione and Ron.

"Harry, wait. Please" I said hesitating. He turned and glared at me.

"What?" he said with an angry tone.

"I'm sorry for before" I said looking at my feet "It wasn't actually me saying all those awful things. The twins spiced my pumpkin juice with Befuddlement Draught." His turned into a soft gaze and smiled to me.

"I knew something was wrong. But still, awch, you were mean," he said laughing "anyway, we have arithmancy next. Want to walk together?" He asked hopefully.

"Sorry, I have divination. But I'll see you later?" I asked smiling at them.

"Sure we will Eve, we need to catch up" said Hermione. After that we took separate ways.

As soon as I entered the classroom I saw that it was with the Slytherins and that we already had partners chosen for us. Since Blair was sitting with Blaise. 'Oh no' I looked around to see who I was sitting with and saw that the only free spot was next to Parkinson. I cringed. I went to sit in my spot, but Parkinson cut me off.

"That's not your spot Moore" she sneered. I looked at her dumb folded. "No?" I asked stupidly.

"No" she retorted "Millicent is my partner. Now scram" she said glaring at me. 'The joy' I said rolling my eyes and looking again around the room for a free seat. And just then I locked eyes with a pair of stormy grey ones.

'Oh screw my life. I can't be stuck for a whole year with Malfoy'
