After Breakfast, Liz and Nessa headed towards potions.
"I think you'll like Professor Snape, Ness." Liz stated. "He's our head of house, and he's one of my favorite teachers. He favors Slytherin, of course. And with good reason. We are, after all, much more preferable than those big-headed Gryffindors and their ring leader, Harry Potter." She said his name with disgust, and smirked. Nessa has never met the dude, but apparently, in the Slytherins' view, he's not a very likeable person. She didn't even bother to tell Liz that she already knew Professor Snape, and that she had already learned all of this from him. But today, Nessa will get to make her own opinions about things, and she couldn't wait to walk into Professor Snape's classroom.
"Silence," Snape demanded as he strode to the front of the classroom, his black robes billowing behind him. Everyone immediately shut up. The last thing they wanted to do was get on Professor Snape's bad side at the beginning of the year.
Nessa found her seat next to Liz and smiled at Snape. He nodded his greeting, and she averted her attention to the chalk board, where instructions were magically appearing. Nessa immediately started working on her potion. She wanted to get it perfect. Mostly because she really wanted to impress Professor Snape the first time. He was the first teacher she had ever met, and he had told her that she was an exceptional student. She wasn't about to let him down on the first day of school. Nessa then took a deep breath, and followed the instructions to start her potion.
After a while, when the time was up, Snape came around to check everyone's potions. He stopped in front of Harry's, and raised an eyebrow.
" Is this is what you call a potion, Mr. Potter?" Snape inquired. " You're supposed to be making a healing potion, not a poison." he finished. Harry sighed shortly, and looked at Ron, who shrugged.
When Professor Snape had finished criticizing Harry's potion, he strode over to Nessa's cauldron, and looked carefully at her potion.
"Very good, Ms. Hemins." Snape praised her, and smirked "I always knew you had some potential." he said, then walked off to criticize another Gryffindor child.
Liz stared open mouthed her, then raised her eyebrows as if to ask the question, what was that all about? Nessa just shrugged and mouthed the words "I'll tell you later." she felt thoroughly pleased with herself, and smiled inwardly. Her mission to make Snape happy was so far a success. Her joy was only to be bummed by a certain whispering read headed boy.
"Isn't it just like a Slytherin to become Snape's new pet." Ron whispered to Harry. They both laughed stupidly which made Nessa seethe with anger.
She turned her head towards the two idiots, and glared daggers at them.
Liz did the same and said, "dunderhead number one, the black-haired boy, is Harry Potter. 'The boy who lived'." She made quotation marks with her fingers when she said his nick name and rolled her eyes. "Big deal. And dunderhead number two, the ratty-looking red head, is Ronald Weasley, his little side-kick." she added. They both giggled, and sneered at the two boys, but neither of them noticed, at first, the black clad figure of Professor Snape standing right behind Harry and Ron.
"Thank you, Mr. Weasley, but I believe it's my job to keep up with Slytherins." He said. Then glided across the room back to his desk, where he kept an eye on the two for the rest of the class period.
