Chapter Five; The first Day of School

Thanks guys! I'm really glad that you're enjoying it so far, here's the next chapter! Again, not going to lie to you, TOTALLY making it up as I go along so hopefully it still turns out pretty good.

Later that day after Harry's mother dropped Tobey off at daycare, and she dropped him off at charm school, Harry suddenly started having second thoughts the moment that he caught a glimpse of his new school building. He gulped and tilted his head back as he stood out in front of him. Even though it wasn't bigger than Hogwarts, it was still pretty big for a seven year old little boy. It was a big golden building with multiple windows and doors.

In fact, it reminded Harry of the sandcastles he built at the beach, only a whole lot bigger and scarier. There was also a gigantic red flag on the top of the building with the golden outline of a two headed dragon on the front of it that proudly waved inside the wind. Harry took a deep breath and started walking towards the entrance. He knew that he was a young wizard in training, and he needed to be brave if he ever hoped of defeating lord Voldemort someday.

As he walked inside, he noticed that there was a bunch of students huddling around one of the walls. Ron was among them, and he made a huge mistake by pointing Harry out to the rest of the crowd. "Hey Harry, over here!" he cried as sudden gasps grew throughout the crowd and everybody else turned to look at him.

"It's Harry Potter." They whispered.

"Actually, my name is Harry Snape." He told them but nobody seemed to be listening to him, instead they were too busy staring at his scar. Harry narrowed his eyebrows and glared at them. He was getting so tired and annoyed of people recognizing him just because of some cut on his forehead. In fact, it was the same exact cut as his mother's, but he was the only one that seemed to be famous because of it.

Ron was just about to open his mouth and tell them to leave his friend alone when suddenly a young man wearing purple robes walked over to them. He was a rather slender looking man with thick black hair braided up into a tight bun, tiny beady brown eyes, tanned skin, and a very long pointed nose. He fixed his crooked spectacles that sat upon his nose and cleared his throat while he studied all of the children.

"Good morning," he began in a very deep and proper voice. "my name is Professor Perry and I am headmaster at this charms school for the early education of young witches and wizards. Once you found your name and what class you are in, I want you to file into the gymnasium, your professor will have their name held up on a very large piece of paper so you will be able to read it. Once you recognize their name from the sheet, you are to line up very swiftly and silently so your class will be able to start on time." He explained.

Harry already knew which teacher he had from the parent teacher meeting so he already made his way towards the gymnasium doors along with Ron who followed along behind him. "I might as well come with you since we're in the same class." He began. "By the way, I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to you before, but Mum yanked our butts out of there as fast as she could since I wasn't the only one causing mischief by running off." He finished.

"It's alright, my father did too. He wasn't very happy about it." Harry explained with a shake of his head.

"Oh that's right, Professor Snape is your father." Ron realized.

"Yeah, he just went back to Hogwarts today to start teaching potions again. So he put me in charge of looking after Mummy and Tobey while he's gone, along with Cowboy and Cosmo." Harry told him.

"Oh, who are they?" Ron asked him.

"The cat and dog." Harry replied.

"Gee, you sure are lucky. I wish Mum allowed us to have pets. And not only that but you've got a baby brother. It's not that I don't love my little sister, but she can get rather annoying sometimes." He said.

"I'm really excited about getting a baby sister." Harry whispered as they walked into the gymnasium together. "And Daddy told me that I might even be able to help pick out her name." he explained while he smiled proudly at that thought while Ron wondered what it would be like to have a teacher for a father. Harry wondered the same, but he knew that he still had a few years to go before he would truly be able to find that out.

Harry and Ron got to the back of the line while a rather old looking witch stood at the front of it. She was a rather plump looking lady with dark green robes (and a bonnet that sat on top of her head), and curly grey hair. Harry liked the fact that she had bright green eyes like his although hers appeared to be more like a shamrock color. She also had glasses, but hers were a lot thicker, and they weren't constantly crooked and falling off her nose.

Once she was sure that she had everyone in her class, she smiled at them warmly and spoke inside a friendly, soft and soothing voice. "Good morning children, now that I have you all here I will lead you back into classroom three and then we shall get started with our first morning lesson." She told them before the line of students followed her out of the gymnasium. After that they made their way into the hallway and followed her to the end of it before they all filed inside and found their chairs.

Harry and Ron sat down next to one another while Mrs. Snyder made her way to the front of the room and wrote her name on the chalkboard. She then turned to face the class and smiled with great amazement that everyone was still rather quiet and looking up at her with their hands folded on top of their desks.

"As most of you, if not all of you already know, my name is Mrs. Snyder and I will be your teacher your first year of magical education. You may call me Mrs. Snyder, or Professor Snyder, or simply just Professor or Mrs. S, or Professor S. I will answer and respond to any of those names. Anyway, for your first assignment, I want to get the chance to know you all better. So I want you to write an essay about who you are and what you want to learn about this year.

And just for your information, we will be learning about different ways magic is interpreted in the muggle community and how witches and wizards are perceived among them." She explained before she turned over to look at Ron. "Excuse me young man, what is your name?" she asked him.

"Ronald Weasley Mam." He told her. "But I prefer to be called Ron." He added as she just simply smiled and nodded at him.

"Very well then, it is Ron that I will call you. Ron, do you think you can come up here and help pass out these questionnaire papers for me?" she questioned as she picked up a packet of papers from off her desk.

"Yes Mrs. Snyder." He told her before he quickly leapt up from his desk.

"Thank you Mr. Weasley." She told him before she handed him the pieces of paper and he begun passing them out to everybody. He passed out Harry a piece of paper first. Harry quickly looked down at it and wrote his name and underlined the last name "Snape." Then he wrote his age and his birthdate and both of his parents' names down.

Then the next question asked him what his parents did. Harry wrote down that his father was a professor at Hogwarts, but the thought only just occurred to him that he didn't know what his mother did, so he just wrote down "Mother" for that question. After that he wrote down that he had a younger brother named Tobey, and was about to have a baby sister. He also put down that he had a dog and a cat and what their names were.

Finally he arrived at the last question. Harry tapped the feather of his quill to his chin and wondered to himself what he would really like to learn in charms class. The most obvious thing that he would want to learn is why Voldemort wanted to kill him in the first place and why he killed his biological father and then why he tried killing his mother, but since Harry didn't want to draw attention to himself he wrote down; "Why most muggles hate us so much." Having his aunt and uncle specifically in mind.
