Chapter 7: First Day of School

"Lana! Lana wake up!" I heard my mother yelling as I was in my deep sleep mode. "You're going to be late!"

"Leave me alone." I groaned and rolled over.

"Come on! It's 8:15! Class starts soon!" Sonic yelled.

"Huh?" I checked my phone and looked at the time. Oh shit! I missed breakfast and now I am going to be late for school. I jumped out of bed and quickly got ready for the day. For my clothes, I put on my red Ruby Rose t-shirt from my favorite anime called RWBY and my black leggings along with my black school robes. Professor Dumbledore gave me some special accessories to wear for my school uniform since I couldn't wear the whole thing because of my sensitivity issues. The things he gave me were a thick red fuzzy headband with the lion on it and two thick fuzzy red cuffs that went around my wrists. I had a yellow choker with a lion charm on the front which was my favorite accessory and I painted red and yellow stripes on my cheeks.

Now I was ready to go. I met up with Ron and Harry, and with Chaos Control, I Chaos Controlled them and myself to class. Yes, I have powers that I forgot to mention earlier. The powers were inhabited by my parents. The powers I have are super speed, Chaos Control, and other Chaos Powers, I have super strength, powers of destruction, power to vanish into the darkness. I am one of the strongest children in my family and everyone adores me for it.

"Wicked Lana, how did you do that?" Ron asked when we appeared in front of the classroom.

"I have superpowers. I will explain later, right now we are running late." I said. Ron, Harry, and I ran into the classroom. Hermione shook her head and rolled her eyes because of our tardiness. Shadow, my father just gave me a glare. I put my head down. From what my brother and sisters told me, father is stricter than mother. Luckily, the teacher was not here yet so we wouldn't get a scolding. But there was a grey tabby cat sitting on her desk as it watched the students do their studies.

"Whew! We made it! Can you imagine the look on old McGonagall's face if we were late?" Ron said. Suddenly the cat turned into Professor McGonagall! "That was bloody brilliant!" Ron said.

"Thank you for that assessment. Perhaps it would be more useful if I were to transfigure Mr. Potter and yourself into a pocket watch. That way, one of you might be on time." Professor McGonagall said.

"We got lost," Harry said.

"Then perhaps a map. I trust you don't need one to find your seats." Professor McGonagall said.

"Sorry, Professor. It won't happen again." I apologized. Harry, Ron, and I took our seats. I sat down next to Hermione.

"Might want to learn about waking up on the first day." Fiona joked. Scourge laughed at his wife's comment. Shadow got up from his seat and walked over to me.

"You better not be late to your classes again or there will be consequences," Shadow warned me.

"I know Dad, it won't happen again," I said as I pinned my ears. Shadow said nothing more and walked back to his desk that was next to Sonic's. The next class, I made sure to be on time. I did not want to be punished and Professor McGonagall may be forgiving, but something about Snape tells me he won't be an easy-go teacher. I took my seat quickly next to Hermione and Aunt Rouge. As I was about to check my Instagram on my phone, I heard the door slam open and walked in Professor Snape. I got a chill down my spine as he marched up to the front of the class.

"There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. However, for those select few who possess the predisposition. I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensure the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death. Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts with abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to not pay attention." Professor Snape says the last part, looking at Harry who was writing in his notebook.

Hermione nudged at Harry and tilted her head towards Professor Snape. Harry quickly put his notebook down. Professor Snape looks at Harry. "Mr. Potter. Our new celebrity."

"What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Professor Snape said. Hermione's hand shot up in the air. Harry just shakes his head.

"You don't know? Let's try again. Where would you look if I asked you to find a bezoar?" Professor Snape asked again. Again, Hermione's hand shot up in the air.

"I don't know sir," Harry said.

"What is the difference between monkshood and wolfbane?" Professor Snape asked.

"I don't know sir," Harry said again. Hermione's hand was kept in the air.

"Pity. Clearly, fame isn't everything, is it Mr. Potter?" Professor Snape said.

"Clearly Hermione knows. Seems a pity not to ask her." Harry said impatiently. The Slytherins laughed.

"Silence." Professor Snape spat. Professor Snape walks over to the desk that Harry and I were sitting at. "Put your hand down, you silly girl." He says as he passed by her and grabs a chair sitting in front of Harry. Professor Snape looks at Harry with a glare in his eyes.

"For your information, Potter, asphodel, and Wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is as known as the Draught of the Living Dead. A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons. As for monkshood and wolfbane, they are the same plant which also goes by the name of aconite." Professor Snape explains. Professor Snape stares at Harry for a moment and all of the students are watching.

"Why aren't you all copying this down?" He says to all of us. We quickly took out our notebooks and quills as we began writing the notes down. Professor Snape sat back down at his desk.

"And Gryffindors... Note that five points will be taken from your house. For your classmate's cheek." Professor Snape said. I got pissed when he said that. I was about to say something but Aunt Rouge stopped me.

"It's okay hun, just leave it be. You will earn more points for your house." Aunt Rouge assured me. I just sighed and kept writing it down in my notebook. Dash leaned in my ear and whispered, "Don't push it, sis, I heard Snape can turn nasty."

Later it was time for the study period and everyone from their houses was in the Great Hall doing their studies. Seamus was practicing with his wand. Seamus kept chanting a spell and waving his wand. "Eye of rabbit, harp string hum, turn this water into rum. Eye of rabbit..."

"What's Seamus trying to do with that glass of water?" Harry asked.

"Turn it to rum. Actually managed a weak tea yesterday, before-" Ron was interrupted when a flash of light exploded and smoke appeared everywhere. The kids were laughing and Hermione was waving the smoke away with her hand.

"Okay, I'm new to the whole magic thing here but I don't think that's supposed to happen." Uncle Tails said. An owl screeched from above.

"Ah, mails here," Ron said. The owls were swooping by and dropping mail off to the students. An owl dropped some mail to Ron, Harry grabbed the newspaper.

"Can I borrow this?" Harry asked Ron. Ron nodded. "Thanks."

"Hey, look. Nevill's got a Rememberall." Dean said after Nevill opened his mail.

"Ooh, look at that." Uncle Tails said.

"Nice, what does it do?" Knightly asked.

"I've read about those, when the smoke turns red, it means you've forgotten something," Hermione explained. Nevill's ball turned red.

"The only problem is I can't remember what I've forgotten," Nevill said.

"What's the use in that then if it doesn't tell you what you've forgotten?" Uncle Knuckles said.

"Hey Ron, somebody broke into Gringotts," Harry said.

"What are you talking about Harry?" I asked.

"Listen: Believed to be the work of the Dark Witches and Wizards unknown, Gringotts's Goblins while acknowledging this breach, insists nothing was taken. The vault in question number 7-1-3 had in fact, been emptied earlier that very same day. That's odd. That's the vault Hagrid, Lana, and I went to." Harry said.

"Huh," I said.

"Hey Lana, what class do you have next?" Emily asked me.

"Hmm, let's see..." I said and took out my schedule. I smiled when I saw what class I had next. It has been the class I had been looking forward to all day. "Flying class!"

"I have that too!" Emily said.

"We all have that class, this is exciting," Molly said. Finally, after some time it was close to the end of the day. Study Hall ended and it was now time for flying class. I am really excited but I got nervous because we have to take the class with the Slytherins. Harry was on my right side and Sonic was on my left. Madam Pooch, our instructor was walking up to us and greeted us. "Good afternoon class."

"Good afternoon, Madam Hooch." We all greeted back.

"Good afternoon, Amanda. Good afternoon. Welcome to you're first flying lesson. Well, what are you waiting for? Everyone step up to the left side of their broomstick. Come on now, hurry up." Madam Hooch said. We all did as she said and stepped up to the left side of the broomstick. I glanced down at my broom. It was old and some of the twigs stuck out at odd angles. Madam Hooch called out another set of instructions. "Stick your right hand over the broom and say 'Up."

We all stuck out our hands. "Up!" We all shout. Immediately Harry's broom came straight into his hands.

"Wow," Sonic said.

"Nice job Harry," Molly said.

"Thanks," Harry said. I shouted "Up." at my broomstick again. It came straight into my hands the second time. "Good job Lana," Sonic said.

"Thanks, Mom," I said with a smile. I looked over to Hermione who was struggling with her broomstick. Ron was struggling with his broomstick as well. "Come on Hermione, you can do it," I say. This time her broomstick rises off the ground just a few inches.

"You almost got it." Uncle Silver said. Ron's broomstick whack's him in the face. Ron covers his face while Harry and I laugh.

"Shut up, you two," Ron whines.

Once everyone got ahold of their broomsticks Madam Hooch began to give out more instructions. "Now, once you've got hold of your broom, I want you to mount it. Grip it tight. You don't want to be sliding off the end. When I blow my whistle, I want each of you to kick off the ground, hard. Keep your broom steady hover for a moment, then lean forward slightly and touch back down. On my whistle. Three, Two..." Madam Hooch blew her whistle. Nevill's broom began floating in the air with Nevill on the broom.

"Mr. Longbottom! Mr. Longbottom!" Madam Hooch called. Nevill's broom just kept rising up like a cork.

"Nevill!" Everyone shouted. Nevill screamed as his broom was flying higher and higher in the air. The Slytherins were just laughing at his failure.

"Come back down this instant!" Madam Hooch ordered firmly.

"Yeah, I don't think that's gonna work." Aunt Amy said. She was right, it did nothing as his broom was spinning out of control. His broom flies into the wall and spins him around as the top and the bush part bump into the wall a couple of times.

"Mr. Longbo-" Madam Hooch begins to say, pulling out her wand but then dives out of the way (Along with the other students) Shadow grabs my arm and pulls me away as Nevill comes closer to us. Nevill screamed again, his broom climbed higher in the sky. Nevill flies near to a spear and his cloak gets caught in it. Nevill dangles from there as we all watch and look at Nevill with concern. His robes began to tear a bit making him fall but he was caught again on another fire spear on the archway before finally landing hard on the ground with a big thud while his robe still hang on the end of the torch.

"That's gotta hurt." Knightly said.

"Everyone out of the way!" Madam Hooch yelled as we parted ways so she can check on Nevill.

"Is he okay?" I ask.

"I'm sure he's fine." Uncle Knuckles said. Nevill whimpered in pain as he was being picked up. I turned my head to see Draco picking up Nevill's rememberall.

"Oh! Oh! Oh, dear. It's a broken wrist. Poor boy. Come on now, up you get. Keep your feet firmly on the ground while I take him to the Hospital Wing. Understand? If I see a single broom in the air, the one riding it will find themselves out of Hogwarts before they can say Quidditch." Madam Hooch said firmly. When they left, Draco, Scourge, and the other Slytherins were making fun of Nevill.

"Did you see his face? Maybe if that fat lump had given this a squeeze he'd have remembered to fall on his arse." Draco said. Scourge laughed at his comment.

"That boy is nothing but a weakling." Scourge said. I gritted my teeth and growled. That does it. Harry and I stepped in front of Scourge and Draco.

"Give it here, Malfoy," Harry demanded.

"And you two don't have the right to make fun of him like that. Give it back." I growled.

"No. I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find." Draco said.

"Ya really defending that weak boy little blue?" Scourge said, pushing me to the ground. Draco and Scourge mounted their brooms with Draco holding the rememberall. "How about on the roof?" Draco said.

"What's the matter, little blue? A bit out of your reach?" Scourge taunted. Harry and I sighed, and mounted our brooms, preparing to chase after them.

"Lana! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Shadow yelled.

"Harry, Lana, no way! You heard what Madam Hooch said. Besides, you don't even know how to fly." Hermione scolded.

"You dare fly on that broom and you're grounded." Shadow threatened. I ignored Shadow and Hermione and flew up in the sky on my broom, with Harry who followed behind me. We came face to face with Scourge and Draco in the sky.

"What an idiot," Hermione said, rolling her eyes.

"Which one?" Dash said as he giggled.

"Both," Hermione said.

"Give it here Malfoy and Scourge or I'll knock you guys off your broom!" Harry yelled.

"Me too!" I shouted.

"Is that so?" Draco said. Scourge smirked. Harry makes a grab for it but Draco dodges, tossing the rememberall over to Scourge. I flew towards Scourge and tried to grab it but Scourge was too quick.

"Give it!" I yelled.

"Your sneaky." Scourge said.

"Have it your way then," Draco said. Draco throws the ball far away. As I followed Harry, Scourge blocks my path. Even though Scourge was making it difficult for me to pass through, I was able to fly forward and kick him in the knee. He lost his balance but got back on his broom. I flew off after Harry. I know he went straight to where Draco threw the ball. I fly until I spot Harry, I look and see that he is headed for the window. Harry did a flip in the air with my broom and caught the rememberall before it could hit the glass. Yes! I can see something out of the corner of my eye and headed straight for Harry as he comes back this way.

I zoom on my broom as fast as I can, dang it there's no way I'm going to catch it in time before it hits Harry's head. I can't let Harry get hurt, he's my best friend and I had to save him from whatever was going to hurt him. It was probably one of Scourge's dirty tricks.

"Harry watch out!" I yelled. He looks over his shoulder to see the white dust ball headed straight for him. Before he has time to react, I jumped off of my broom. "LANA!" I heard my mother scream.

I knew my family was worried for me. I had to act fast and I caught the of stone, doing a front flip over Harry before landing on my broom safely. "Holy shit." Shadow mutters under his breath, with his eyes widened. I sighed in relief when I am still in one piece and I formed a smile at my parents, letting them know I was okay. I still had a rush of adrenaline in me, with my heart pounding fast and sweat pouring down my face.

"Are you all right?" I asked Harry.

"Yes, thank you, Lana," Harry said. "Okay let's get back down before Madam Hooch sees us."

We fly back down to the students as they start running to us cheering after watching everything that happened. I was surrounded with cheers as well and my family was impressed and worried. "Lana are you crazy you could have been killed or worse, expelled!" Shadow yelled as he hugged me tightly.

"I'm okay Dad," I said.

"Wow, Lana that was amazing! Both you and Harry were but hell you scared me with that trick of yours I thought for sure you were going to fall!" Uncle Tails said.

"Heh, thanks Uncle Tails," I said.

"Good one Harry and Lana, that was wicked!" Molly said.

"Harry Potter and Lana Hedgehog!" A familiar voice called. My heart dropped when I saw Professor McGonagall standing before us. "Follow me."

"Oh, dear." Aunt Amy said.

"Say it. I'm doomed." I said.

"You're doomed." Aunt Rouge said.

"Good luck sis, your gonna need it," Dash said as he patted me on the back. Without saying another word, Harry and I followed Professor McGonagall down some hallways, with the brooms still in our hands. We kept on walking until we came to a stop in front of a classroom.

"You two wait here." Professor McGonagall said firmly. She walks into the classroom. "Professor Quirrell, excuse me. Excuse me, Could I borrow Wood for a moment?"

"Y-Yes, of course." Professor Quirrell said. In a few seconds, Professor McGonagall comes out with Wood. Wood is average height, has short brown hair, and brown eyes. Professor McGonagall introduces him to us. "Potter and Lana, this is Oliver Wood. Wood, I have found you a seeker. Lana, you can be a seeker too."

My eyes widened as I couldn't believe it. I thought for sure I was going to get expelled. After Professor McGonagall was explaining to us about the Quidditch team and Oliver Woods training, we met back up with my family who was running up to me.

"So what happened?" Aunt Amy asked me.

"You guys won't believe this. Harry and I made the Quidditch team!" I said, with my voice full of excitement.

"Wow, that's awesome Lana, congrats." Knightly said.

"I thought for sure you have gotten expelled," Mephiles said. As we were celebrating my success, my parents pulled me to the side. I was confused at first.

"Mom? Dad? Is something wrong?" I asked. My parents hugged me tightly and I hugged them back.

"Sweetie, are you okay?" Sonic asked his voice full of concern.

"What are you talking about? Of course I'm okay. There's not a scratch on me and I'm happy. I made the Quidditch team as a seeker." I said.

"Lana, are you crazy? You could have gotten really hurt with what you did. You scared me half to death when I saw you leap off your broom." Sonic said. Shadow put his arm around Sonic as I saw some tears forming in his eyes.

"Mom, don't worry about me. I am fine." I assured my mother. "Please Mom and Dad, I really want to be on the Quidditch team. I just want to have some fun for once since I had never had any freedom back at the Dursley's. Please let me do this."

My parents looked at each other for a moment It was silent for a while. I can tell they were thinking hard about the decision. Finally, Shadow spoke up. "Alright. You can be on the Quidditch team. As long as you are safe and as long as there is supervision by an adult. And no more crazy stunts like that again."

"I won't, thanks Dad," I said. Later after our classes have finished, the news spread about me and Harry making the Quidditch team as Seekers. "Have you heard? Harry Potter and Lana Hedgehog are the new Gryffindor Seekers. I always knew they'd do well."

Ron was amazed by the news. "Seekers? But first years never make the house teams. You must be the youngest player in Quidditch- In a century according to Professor McGonagall."

"You really are something special Lana." Uncle Silver said.

"Hey, well done, Harry and Lana. Wood's just told us." One of the twins said as they walked up to us.

"Fred and George are on the team too- beaters," Ron explained.

"Our job is to make sure you don't get bloodied up too bad. Can't make any promises of course. Rough game of Quidditch. Brutal, no one's died in years. Someone will vanish eventually." Fred said.

"Wait, what?" Aunt Amy said.

"But they'll turn up in a month or two!" George shouted as we break away from them.

"Ignore them, they're just messing with ya," Mephiles said.

"Go on Harry and Lana. Quidditch is great. Best game there is and you'll be great too." Ron said.

"I've never even played. What if I make a fool of myself?" Harry said worriedly.

"And what if everyone laughs at me?" I asked nervously.

Aunt Rouge puts her hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry hun, you'll be great." She said.

"You won't make a fool of yourselves," Hermione said as she walked up to us. "It's in your bloods."

We look at each other before turning to her. She smiles and rolls her eyes as she leads us down to a cabin full of medals and trophies. She points to one of the trophies that have all of the Gryffindor's names on them. "Woah! Harry! You never told me your father was a seeker too!" Ron exclaims.

"I didn't know," Harry said with a smile. We looked down at the name that said 'Seeker James Potter. 1970.' I remember Harry telling me once that his parent's names were James and Lily.

"This is so cool," Dash said.

"Come on let's go get some dinner before we miss it," Sonic said.

And with that, we all headed off to dinner. The first day of school was awesome, I can't wait to learn more at Hogwarts.
