Chapter 5: Flying Lessons
Morrigan studied with Hermione on Saturday and then served her detention on Sunday, which was scrubbing cauldrons without the use of magic. Morrigan snorted, like she knew any cleaning spells. On Monday she was coming down to the common room when Tracy ran over and told her that Flying Lessons would be starting.
"Do you think its wise to let me near a broom," Morrigan asked her.
"You have to take it," she told her.
"Great," Morrigan muttered.
Morrigan managed to put Flying Lesson from her mind as she focused on her classes. Of course Draco didn't help matters by talking about all the times that he had been up in the air on his broom, that his father had bought him, and kept looking at her when he said that some people wouldn't pass the class. This got Morrigan mad more then anything.
"He thinks that he's gods give to the world," Morrigan said to Hermione when they were studying in the Library.
"Do you think he's any good?" Hermione asked.
"I don't know and I don't care," Morrigan said, "He's going to use the lesson to show off and I'm not going to be apart of it."
"I figure that much," Hermione said.
"Do you know the really dumb thing about being in Slytherin is that you have to do something called house unity? Now I'm not against house unity but they use it to bully people. I had to put up with that with Dudley and I can't believe that I'm around it."
"Talk to Professor Snape."
"I don't know," Morrigan said slowly, "I don't trust him."
"I know that this is too much to even hope for but I don't think that he intends to bully you," Hermione said, "If he didn't care anything about you then he wouldn't of taken you to Diagon Alley. He would have allowed you to walk around with nothing and get made fun of."
"I'll think about it," Morrigan said.
"That's all I ask," Hermione said and they went back to their studying.
On Thursday the Slytherins headed down to the grounds to have Flying Lessons. The Gryffindor's weren't there yet, which caused Draco to laugh. What was so funny, Morrigan didn't know. When they finally showed up they were followed by Madam Hooch.
"Welcome to your first flying lesson," she told them, "Well, what are you waiting for. Stand next to a broom."
Everyone did as they were told and then Madam Hooch barked her next set of instructions.
"You will place your right hand over your broom and say, up."
"UP!" they all said and only a couple went into the students hand, Morrigan's included.
Draco looked smug when his went into his hand as well.
"Now I want you all to mount them," she told them and Morrigan snickered. Madam Hooch heard and went over to her. "And what's so funny about what I just said?"
"Well, um, we're like all eleven and that sort is sick," Morrigan told her, "Do you have any idea what the word mount means in the mind of an eleven-year-old?"
"How about get on your brooms," she suggested.
"Better," Morrigan said.
"Five points from Slytherin for insulting your Professors instructions."
Morrigan shot daggers at her.
The rest of the lesson was done in silence. Morrigan absolutely refuse to let Madam Hooch think that she was so much smarter then her. Honestly, Morrigan did have a point. Mount was too sexual in nature for an eleven-year-old. How did she know, she saw a documentary on muggle TV about animals mounting their mates. Mounting was what animals did and she wasn't an animal. The only part that was exciting was when Neville lost control of his broom and broke his wrist. Madam Hooch took him to the hospital wing, with clear instructions that if anyone was found in the air they would be out of Hogwarts before they could say Quidditch.
That was when Draco decided to test that threat. He had found a rememberall that Neville's gran had sent him. Morrigan hadn't been there for the mail but Tracy had told her that Neville had gotten one and that Draco was acting like a totally bully and tried to take it from him.
"Give it back," Morrigan demanded.
"Ooh, Potter is defending Longbottom," Draco taunted.
"I said give it here or I'll tell Professor Snape," Morrigan told him, "Stealing is wrong or didn't your parents teach you that."
"Oh my parents taught me a lot," Draco said and then he jumped on his broom, "I bet you can't even come after me."
"Don't do it, Morg," Hermione said, "He just wants to get you into trouble and expelled."
"I'm not that stupid," Morrigan told her, "Hay, Malfoy, when you quit acting like a buffoon, let us know."
"Ooh, Potter is scared," a red head boy said.
"Shut up, Weasley," Hermione said, "Just because you like getting into trouble doesn't mean all of us do."
"Didn't know that you cared about scaredy cats," Weasley said, his voice laced with spite.
"If you're so worried about Longbottom's rememberall, why don't you go after it," Morrigan said, "I'm sure that you'll do so much better then me, since you were raised in the Wizarding world and I'm nothing but a famous name."
Weasley grinned and then jumped on his broom.
"I'll show you how we real wizards do things."
"Yeah, he's an idiot," Morrigan said.
"I wonder how long it will be before he's caught," Hermione wondered.
"Knowing Weasley, not very long," Tracy said and then, "Weasley, Malfoy, what in the name of Merlin are you two doing?"
It was Madam Hooch and she looked mad.
To say that Madam Hooch was as good as her word was an understatement. Both Weasley and Malfoy were expelled for not following Madam Hooch's instructions. Tracy thought the whole thing was really funny.
"I wonder how long it will be before Malfoy comes back," Tracy asked Morrigan.
"Probably a week," Morrigan answered, "That child thinks that he can do whatever he wants and get away with it. At least Snape can blame me for this."
"I think that Snape is shocked that you're actually following the rules."
Morrigan shook her head and said, "I'm never going to get expelled and be force to return to the Dursley's."

"I was surprised to hear that you expelled my son," Narcissa said.
"He did break Madam Hooch's rules," Snape told her.
"Well I bet you were surprised that Potter didn't get into trouble," Narcissa said.
Snape gave her a look and said, "I might believe that she has some qualities that she got from her mother but she's got James Potter in her all the way. I think it was only Miss Granger's words that kept her from acting just like her father."
"Severus, why are you even pretending not to be interested in her," Narcissa said, "I heard from Flitwick that's she's really good at Charms and I'm sure that she's good in your class."
"Just because she's good in Potions doesn't mean that I like her."
"Yeah, tell yourself that and one day you might believe it," she said, "You're always complaining that your classes are full of dunderheads that will never learn anything and finally you get a student that follows your instructions and you bad mouth her because she happens to be James's daughter. Let's not forget that it takes two to make a baby and so she's very much Lily's daughter as well."
"She might look like Lily but she's not Lily."
Narcissa rolled her eyes and then said, "So are you going to continue to treat her like garbage or you leaving that up to the Gryffindor's? I heard that Professor McGonagall is quite fond of her."
"She's fond of anyone!"
"No, she's usually only fond of her own cubs but she's taken an interest in Morrigan," Narcissa told him, "You really need to get it through that thick skull of yours that Morrigan is nothing like her father."
"She might not have grown up spoiled but she's-."
"Oh shut up, Severus," Narcissa cut in, "Just get to know her and see that she's nothing like her father. Of course if that's too hard for you to be able to do then I'll be more then happy to get to know her for you."
She saw Snape give her a look.
"Fine, I'll get to know her," Snape told her.
"Lovely," Narcissa said.
"Women, you're all the same," Snape said, growling at her.
"Oh is that a complement," Narcissa asked.
Snape said nothing.

Snape couldn't believe that he had been hoodwinked into getting to know Potter. True, he had some idea of what kind of person she was from their shopping trip but that didn't mean that he automatically liked her. He had to put up with her because, one, she was at Hogwarts student and, two, she was in his house. He still couldn't believe that she was in his house. During the next Potions lesson they were all working on a basic healing salve. He used this time to insult Gryffindor for their lack of smart students. Smart, being students that didn't try and blow up his classroom and kill him.
With no Malfoy and Weasley around everything was running smoothly. Granger's potion was doing well, which means that he didn't have to give her detention and then he walked over to the Slytherin side. Bullstrode was having problems with the potion, it was brown, instead of white, and Davis was having trouble as well. It was blue, instead of white. Snape mentally groaned and then went over to Potter's potion. The potion was the perfect white that he asked for, no other colors. She was spooning some of the potion into a bottle for him to grade and only looked up when she was finished.
"Put your sample with the others," he instructed.
"Yes, sir," Potter said and she went over and placed her bottle on the table.
When she was back down she took out her wand and made the rest of her contents vanished. Snape was shocked, that was a fifth year spell. Where did she learn it? The ringing of the bell almost made Snape jump and he watched the students pack their things away and turn in their horrible samples. The classroom was soon empty.

A/N: Sorry about not really putting that much bulling on Ron's part in this chapter. I always thought that Madam Hooch should have argued that Harry should have been expelled in the books. What's the point in threatening students with expulsion for breaking her rules if you don't actually do it? On another note: Draco will not reappear in the stories until Morrigan's fourth year.
