Chapter 2

Sonia-

I woke up with extra blankets on, that I don't remember having on when I fell asleep. I slowly got up and put on my robes, now with a green and black tie. I was truly a Slytherin now. I was about to walk out of my room when I noticed my schedule on the floor. I scanned it and liked what my classes were.

I was very happy to have at least one study hall, some people don't have any. Also I had potions last, I wasn't sure if I should be happy about that or sad. I got down to the dining hall after my shower so I didn't miss anything. One thing I learned from the past the juiciest news gets served out first. I ran quickly down the halls with my wet hair flapping against my back. By the time I arrived my long black hair was still very wet and was sticking to my back and neck. I still didn't see the point of coming down for breakfast I wasn't hungry, but the gossip as good. After I ate a piece of toast and the good gossip was over I decided to pay Hagrid a visit. But by the time I got down there I had to run back up for Magical Creatures. The class was great. But then I had flying practice. I never flew before, not without dad there with me. "Everyone stand by a broom. What are you waiting for, hurry up." Madam hooch snapped. I quickly stood next to a broom across from the boy Harry Potter. "Stick your right hand over your broom and say 'up'" She instructed. "Up!" Everyone shouted. Harry Potter's broom jumped up right into his hand. Mine on the other hand took two tries to get it in my hand. "Okay. When I blow my whistle I want you to push off the ground and touch back down. One…two…" before she even had a chance to blow her whistle a boy from Gryffindor took off. "Come back down here boy!" She yelled. But by that point the boy had lost control of his broom. It looked like his broom was jinxed. He was going straight up. He looked so scared, plus he was screaming like a girl. Then he fell off his broom. Madam hooch said he just broke his arm and to stay on the ground while she takes him to the hospital wing. As soon as she left there was a loud laughter "Did you see his face, the great lump!" I spun around and saw Draco laughing. Soon my fellow Slytherins were joining in. "Shut up Malfoy!" Snapped one of the Gryffindor girls. "Ooh sticking up for Longbottom. Never thought you'd like ft little crybabies, Parvati." said Pansy Parkinson. "SHUT UP PANSY. NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR VOICE ANY MORE!" I yelled at here. "Oh, you fancy him too do you, Snape." She mocked me. "NO! I fancy punching you. How do you think you'd look with a broken nose?" I asked sweetly. This shut up her eminently. "LOOK!" Draco darted forward, and picked up something from the ground. "It's that stupid thing Longbottom's gran sent him." It was a small glass ball. "Give that here Malfoy" Harry potter said quietly. Draco just gave him a nasty smile. "GIVE IT HERE!" He shouted. Draco got on his broom and shot up in the air. "Come and get it then potter." Draco shouted. That's when harry grabbed his broom, and so did I. "No." a Gryffindor girl shouted at Harry. Unfortunately no one was there to stop me. "Madam Hooch said not to move you'll get us all in trouble." But just as I did he ignored her. He quickly got to the same height as Malfoy. "Give it here Malfoy or I'll knock you off your broom." Harry shouted at Malfoy. "oh yeah" Malfoy asked trying to sound brave but even I could see the fear in his clear blue eyes and it was written clear as day on his face. Harry shot forward and tried to snatch it out of Malfoy's miserable little hand. "No Crabbe and Goyle to save your neck, Malfoy." Harry called. "You, too. No helping him" he said to me. "Why do you think I'm up here? I'm here to help you." I called back. "Catch it if you can potter!" Malfoy yelled and threw up the ball. Malfoy proudly watched as harry went after the ball. When he started to sink to the ground I stopped him, well till he was close enough that what I was about to do wouldn't hurt as much. I brought back my fist and brought it down on Malfoy, not as hard as I wanted it to be though. I could feel his nose break under the pressure of my fist. He fell off his broom. Harry and I both landed on the ground at the same time. We gave each other a high five. "I'm Harry potter."

"I'm Sonia, Sonia Snape" I introduced myself.

"HARRY POTTER!"

We both turned around and saw McGonagall running towards us. "Never- In all my life at Hogwarts- How dear you- you might have broken your neck-."

"It wasn't his fault professor-."

"Be quiet Miss Patil-."

"But Malfoy-."

"That's enough, Mr. Weasley. Potter, Snape, follow me, NOW!"

We walked in silence behind her. "What do you think she's going to do to us, Harry?" I whispered to harry. "I was going to ask you that." Harry whispered back. She stopped at a classroom. "Professor Black?"

"Yes Minerva?" I heard professor black say

"May I brow wood"

"Certainly. I was just about to kick him out he's too smart to be in here. Oliver get your stuff I'm kicking you out for the day." Oliver Wood was the Gryffindor Quittage captain. He walked out of the class with all his books. "Yes professor?" he asked. "Follow me." Was all McGonagall said. She led us down more halls. "Hey do you know what she wants?" Wood whispered to us. "We just asked the same question." Harry whispered back. She walked us to the transfiguration classroom. "PEAVES GET OUT!" McGonagall she shouted into the classroom. "Sonia, do you mind waiting out here for a minute?" I shrugged my shoulders and sat down against the wall. I waited holding my hand that now hurt. "Hmm I think Malfoy's nose is harder than it looks." I said to myself. Professor McGonagall came out later with Harry and Oliver. "Follow me." She said. I wanted to say no but I didn't really have a choice. Of course she led me straight to my father's classroom. She stuck her head inside. "Excuse me professor Snape, but may I see you for a minute?" She asked. "Professor, I am teaching a class right now. Can this possibly wait three minutes till clad is over?" I could hear him drone from the other side of the door. "That'll do." she replied and shut the door. She walked over to the windowsill and sat down. "Let me see your hand." She said. I held out my non injured hand. "Your other hand." She ordered. Sheepishly I held out my hand. "I'm guessing this is from Mr. Malfoy's face." I smirked. "Your father should be out soon." Now I was frightened. I don't get scared easily, but I feared the wrath of my father. I could suddenly hear the loudness of the fifth year students. McGonagall got up, walked to the door, and opened it. "Severus is now a good time?" she asked most inpatient. "I suppose." I heard him again. She turned to me and signaled for me. I slowly came to the door. "Hi dad." I said shyly. He spun around from his cauldron. "Oh Sonia what did you do now?"He asked. "I…uh…um…punched Draco Malfoy off his broom. Do you think I broke his nose?" I asked. "Yes I think you did. She punched him as if he was a bludger. I brought her down here because I know the Slytherin team needs a new beater, as should Gryffindor but. She would be excellent." she explained, "But punishment is necessary but up to you as Slytherin head and as her father. Oh I must go I have a class of baboons to attend to." She said looking at her pocket watch. She turned around and left. "I swear this job is more like babysitting than teaching." I heard her mumble on her way out. "Oh Sonia your first day! Couldn't you wait a week, just a week? What in your right mind sent you to punch Mr. Malfoy! Let alone he was on a broom off the ground! You could have killed him. Do you-!" he yelled as soon as she was out of hearing range. "He was close enough to the ground. The only thing that probably hurt was my fist!" I raised my voice to match his. "You are a Slytherin above all else." He yelled. "NO I'M NOT." I hissed, thinking about me saying Slytherin, not the hat choosing Gryffindor. I turned on my heel and left forgetting completely about my hand. I went to the great hall. I sat down at the end of the table that way I could get out quickly. I looked over at harry who looked like he was going to bolt out of there any second. I giggled he looked the same way I felt. I ate lunch and went down to Hagrid. I knocked on the door. "Hagrid open up it's me!" I yelled I needed someone to talk to and that someone just had to be Hagrid. He quickly opened the door. "Sorry 'bout that Sonia. Please come on in." Hagrid said. I followed him inside his hut. I sat down. "Want anything ta eat?" He asked. "No thank you I just ate. Can I talk to you about something Hagrid?" I asked. "Aren't we already?" He asked as he sat down across from me. "Promise no spilling?"

"'Course Sonia."

"I got in a fight with dad."

"Again? 'bout what?" I explained everything that happened in the last 24 hours. He nodded as I explained. "Sounds like you got lot ta deal with. In my opinion ya should talk ta good ol' Dumbledore. He'll 'elp ya mor' then me." He said. "Thanks for listening to me Hagrid, I gota go to class." I said he led me to the door. I started to go. "'Oi Sonia any time ya need ta talk ya know where I am." He called after me. "Thanks!" I called and hurried to defensive arts.
