DiScLaImEr: I don't own anything connected to the Harry Potter books, other than this fantastic story, and a snow globe.

A/N: It has been a LONG ass time since I've updated this story, and I'm sorry for that. I had to spend a summer in New York without Internet AND T.V. (I almost died), and babysat my older sisters two kids. By the time I got back here, I had no idea where I'd been going with this story. But now, after watching St. Trinians, I remember, so I'm continuing it. Enjoy =D

Chapter o4

The next morning I awoke to an alarming buzzing going off in the confines of my mind. I sat up quickly in surprise, my sleep-fogged mind not registering what was going on. After a minute or two of needless alarm, I remembered that I had set my watch to wake me up at 7:30. I turned it off and groaned quietly as my mind became blank once again.

"Bloody watch." I muttered darkly. I stayed in that slouching position, my legs crossed and my eyes closed, for another good five minutes before I decided I was able to move. I made my way out of the comfy bed that I in no way wanted to leave, and instead went into the bathroom.

Fifteen minutes later, and not only was I completely ready for the day, but all of my roomates were just starting to awaken.

"Look at the early bird." Big-nosed boy muttered as he sat up, glaring at me. I gave him a bright smile in response.

"Look at the worm!" I replied in my most sarcastic chipper voice before a wakeful "ta-ta!" and me leaving with a bounce in my step. Just to piss him off, really. I heard Artimus chuckling as I closed the door, and the boy throw a pillow at him and snap 'Shut up!'

When I got to the great hall, no one was there. Well, of course, there were people there, but none of them were Scorpius or Rose. 'Lazy children', I thought to myself as I sat down at the edge of the Slytherin table, 'honestly'.

I started piling things on my plate, ignoring the Slytherins who were ignoring me. I wasn't there ten minutes before someone plopped down next to me uncerimoniously. Figuring it was Artimus coming down sooner than expected, I continued to stare at my food boredly as I ate slowly.

"Well, good-morning to you too, sunshine." My head shot up at Rose's sarcastic voice and I looked at her in shock as she started putting bacon onto the plate in front of her.

"Rosie..." I muttered with wide eyes, "What are you doing?"

She rolled her eyes. "Eating, obviously. I would think you would have gone blind since your asking such a stupid question, but your looking at me, so-"

"This is the Slytherin table, mate." I reminded her. "Your a Ravenclaw." She rolled her eyes again.

"Stop being so close-minded Al, this was the plan I came up with last night. It's only temporary, because I can't think of anything better at the moment-"

"This was your plan?" I cut her off again.

"Well, yeah. Scorpius should be coming down in a moment-"

"Because that's a good idea," Sarcasm dripped from my words. "Let's have the Gryffindor sit with a bunch of Slyther-"

"If you interrupt me one more time." She growled, her eyes narrowed angrily, "I will cut off your-"

"'Ello mates!" Scorpius slid into the seat across from me as if this were an everyday thing. Rose twitched visably. "What's going-"

"Shut up!" She hissed, glaring at him venomously.

"Rawr." I muttered to Scorpius from behind my hand, rolling my eyes and making him smirk. Her response was wickedly cut off by Artimus sitting down next to her and the big-nosed boy sitting down next to him.

"Hi?" Artimus half-asked, half-stated while looking cautiously, and little curiously, at the Rose and Scorpius.

"Hi." Rose grumbled, glaring down at her bacon and stabbing it angrily. Artimus suddenly looked as if sitting next to her had been a mistake. Then again, I was thinking the same thing.

"What are you two doing here?" the Big-nosed boy sneered, "This is the Slytherin table." He made is sounded alot worse than I had, even though a words were pretty much the same. Rose shot her head up and looked at him with a raised eyebrow that suggested he try to remove her. He visably paled. If I hadn't disliked him so much, I would have felt sorry for him. That look was scary if you were on the recieving end.

"Rose." I put my hand on her shoulder comfortingly. "Remember what James said." She turned the look to me and I immediatly removed my hand from any part near her and placed it on my lap.

"Maybe I'm out of line, just meeting you guys yesterday, but Rosie, dear, I think you might need anger management classes." Scorpius told her, sounding sincere and pretty feminine.

"You are out of line." Rose growled.

'No you're not,' I mouthed to him behind her back, and his lips twitched as he tried to keep a straight face.

"Great, Malfoy's not only a Gryffindor, but a fag to boot." Big-nosed boy sneered. The four of us froze, and Rose's look turned more dangerous. I grabbed her shoulder again.

"Shut up Grey, we're all human here. Don't be an arse." Artimus said softly. I could see him trying to mentally warn the big-nosed boy, whose name I took to be 'Grey', of the danger he was putting himself in. Obviously my Slytherin comrade knew what it meant for a girl to glare like that.

"Oh, so take the outsider's sides." Grey's face seemed to be placed in a permenant sneer.

"Look," Artimus sighed, "It's not like they're hurting-" He was cut off by the arrival of Professor Longbottom coming to pass out schedules. The teacher and old time family friend nodded to Rose and I, not looking the least bit surprised to see her and Scorpius sitting at a table that wasn't theirs. "Good morning mates." He said, a tad gravely I thought for it being Neville.

"Morning Professor." Rose quipped, smiling brightly at him. He smiled back, just not as enthusiastically.

"What's wrong, Neville?" At the older man's warning in the form of a raised eyebrow, I corrected myself quickly, my cheeks tinged pink. "Professor Longbottom."

"Nothing is wrong dear boy, it's just a little too early in the morning for me." Professor Longbottom made his words more pronounced by ending them with a very convincing yawn. Still, however, I didn't believe him, and by the skeptical look Rose was trying to force off of her face, she didn't either. "Here you go, Mr. Malfoy." He added, handing a peice of parchment to Scorpius, which was being read immediatly in a silent manner.

"Thank You professor." Scorpius muttered absentmindedly, his eyes scanning his schedule hopefully.

"Mr. Potter." Professor Longbottom yawned widely again, covering his mouth with my schedule, which was pretty disgusting, I thought, though I didn't tell him this out loud.

I looked down at it, the growing dread of school already growing in my chest. Elementary Wizards Academy had been bad enough, now I was in a place where things like 'homework' actually mattered.

Scorpius and I groaned simotaniously.

"Oh my god I'm so excited." Rose squealed, her eyes a-light as she looked at her own schedule. The both of us glared at her.

"Go sit at the Ravenclaw table." Scorpius grumbled, pointing to it, where all of the other Ravenclaw's looked just as excited as Rose.

"You lose five respect points." I agreed, shaking my head in disgust.

"What?" Rose asked, looking at us like we were nutters. "Mates, this is our first year!"

"It'll suck." James suddenly appeared, sitting down next to Scorpius. "You barely do anything, so don't get your knickers in a bunch." His hair was sticking up in places that it probably shouldn't, and his eyes were droopy from still being half asleep. Still, he started shoveling things on his own individual place. Artimus, Grey, Scorpius, Rose, and I all looked at him blankly.

"What does this place look like? Commoners Central?" Grey finally snapped. "You, much like these two bints, are not Slytherin, so go place yourselves somewhere else." He turned his glare on me. "You can go as well, Potter." He spat venomously.

"Oh calm down, Slimy," James yawned, "I'm only here to make sure Alby's first day is everything he thought it would be." The mock in his voice was plain.

"You've done your job, you insufferable prick, now go away." I shooed him with my hand hopefully. Why did he have to be so bloody annoying? I saw Rose gripping her butter knife dangerously.

"No way. I'm already here, and I'm bloody hungry. You'll just have to put up with me for a few minutes longer." He grinned through a mouthful of egg, always one to torment me. Before anybody could bodily remove him from the Slytherin table, his best friends Emilie and Andie slid in, Emilie next to me, and Andie next to him.

"What are we doing over here?" Andie asked breathlessly, looking oddly chipper for 8:00 in the morning.

"Not that we mind." Emilie added, eyeing a fourth year Slytherin boy interestidly. James rolled his eyes.

"Apparently leaving, because we're not welcome in the ickle first-years Slytherin club." He sneered. The twin girls rolled their eyes and looked at us dangerously.

"People oppose us being here?" I felt a cold fear creep into me. You didn't anger the twins. Never.

"Of course not." Grey squeaked. "Welcome as the sun."

"Pussy." Scorpius whispered to me, shaking his head in disgust at the other Slytherin first-year. I had to agree.

Before you review (and you will), I would just like to state, that at eleven, it is perfectly acceptible to say pussy. I said it when I was eleven all the time before I actually grew up and realized that swearing all the time did NOT make me look cool, it just made me look like an idiot. With that said, review pls +D
