The next morning, I found Blaise in the common room waiting for me.
"Ready to go to breakfast and meet the competition?" he asked.
"Um... sure," I said. Blaise and I chatted as we walked to the Great Hall. When we got to the Great Hall, Blaise walked to the middle of the Gryffindor table and sat across from a boy with black hair, green eyes (that reminded my of Lily) and glasses. I walked over to Blaise and sat down by him. The Boy across from Blaise reached over and held his hand out.
"I'm Harry Potter. I'm guessing your the new student that Mione was talking about," the boy said.
"Hey, I'm Slade Sea," I replied. I guess Lily did marry Potter and they had a child together. A few minutes later Hermione and some other people walked up and sat down by us.
"Good morning Slade, good morning Blaise, good morning Harry," Hermione said.
"Good morning Hermione," I said back.
"Morning Mione," Blaise and Harry said.
"Slade, since you are my friend, you can call me Mione too,' she said.
"Thank you," I said as I smiled at her. I saw her give me a small smile back. I felt my heart skip a beat.
"So your Slade. Mione told us about you last night," a red headed girl said. She sat down by Harry and he put his arm around her. You could tell that they were madly in love. "I'm Ginny by the way," she said.
"It's nice to meet you Ginny," I said.
"This is my brother Ron and this is Draco Malfoy," she said. I stared at my competition. Ron was tall and buff (I guess). He had red hair, like his sister, and blue eyes. He wasn't much of one the other hand, would be my worst competitor yet. He was much like Lucius in look. He must be Lucius' son. Draco was tall and buff, like Ron. He has platinum blonde hair and gray eyes.
"Mione told us that you would be hanging out with us. Don't think that we trust you though," Ron said.
"Umm... okay," I said.
"I heard that you're Snape's godson. I didn't know Severus had another godson," Draco said.
"I don't know what you mean," I said.
"I'm Severus' godson too,' He replied.
"Oh, well I guess that makes too of us. I didn't know about you either," I said. Holy crap, I have a godson. Holy crap, my godson and I are competing for the same woman. Well this is a little awkward.
"Anyway let's eat. Don't want to be late for class," Hermione said.
"Yeah, our first class is potion and Snape is a git. Taking points away if your not in your seat when the bell rings," Ron said. I guess I'm a strict teacher, but I'm ok with that.
"Ron, that's rude to say about a professor. Plus he is a wonderful teacher. Just cause you suck at potions, doesn't mean you can talk bad about a teacher," Hermione said. That's sweet that she is defending me. You can tell that she really cares about school. I like that , I like my women smart.
"Mione, don't listen to Ron. Professor Snape is a great Potion's Master," Draco said. You could tell he was just saying that to get on her good side. And it was working.
"Your right Draco. Anyway since your new Slade do you want to be my potion's partner?" she asked.
"Yeah, that would be great," I said with a huge smile. Ron and Draco looked pissed. I knew they were jealous that I was her partner and not them. Score one for me and zero for Ron and Draco.
"Great, so did you enjoy your first night at Hogwarts?" she asked.
"I did, thank you,' I replied. Then the rest of the group started asking me random questions.
It was until Ginny asked, "So do you have a girlfriend?" did I become uncomfortable.
"No, I don't have a girlfriend,"I said.
"Well do you like anyone?" she asked. "
Ginny it's his first day here. He doesn't know anyone," Harry said. Ginny and Hermione looked disappointed by this, but Draco and Ron looked relieved by it.
"Well we better be off to potions. We don't want to be late," Hermione said.
"Great this class is going to be hell," Ron said. "
Ronald language," Mione snapped.
"Right sorry. This class is going to be terrible," he said. With that we were all off to potions. I wonder how bad it would really be.
