Jennifer's POV
I woke up and got out of bed, got dressed and followed my new friend Bianca to the Great Hall for breakfast. Bianca has brown braids, blue eyes and freckles across her face. She was very nice and answered all my questions.
We walked down together and sat at the Hufflepuff table. After eating we all got our schedules.
Potions-Slytherin
Herbology-Slytherin
Defense Against the Dark Arts-Ravenclaw
Transfiguration-Gryffindor
Lunch
Flying(One class only)/History of Magic-Ravenclaw
Charms-Slytherin
So Potions first with Michelle. Everyone starts leaving the Great Hall and Bianca and I go off to the Potions room which seems to be in the dungeons. A weird place to put a classroom if you ask me. If we're bad does that mean they'll lock us up?
Bianca and I decide to be partners and find a table. Since Michelle seems to be partnered up with Keith at the other side of the room. By the way, is it just me or are they always staying together...Professor Snabe got my attention by walking in and tells us to take out our books.
"Potions are very critical to success as it is used everywhere. Healers, the Daily Prophet and even Aurors use it. Don't think magic is only about your wands..." Professor Snabe keeps going and going on about the importance of Potions and almost put me to sleep.
"Looks like Professor Snabe is trying to imitate Professor Snape, one of the most important wizards in the last wizarding war." whispered Bianca.
He keeps going on and on and when there is only a minute left he notices the time and assigns us homework.
"Everyone is to write a 5 inch essay on the importance of potions. If you were listening and not falling asleep", he pauses to glare at me, "then you should have plenty of ideas. Dismissed"
Bianca and I exit the classroom and Michelle walks up to us.
"Can you believe we have homework already?" she asks.
"I know. It's the first day. Can't they let us get used to this school first?"
"My sister says it gets even worse in fifth year" says Bianca. "She got 35 inches of writing to do all on the first day."
"That's crazy" I say.
If we already have homework how much more will we get today...?
Tamara's POV
After Herbology, I had charms with the Ravenclaws. So I'll be with Natalie. I walk in and notice that she is sitting alone. I go sit beside her, putting my stuff down.
"Hey"
"Hi"
"How was your first class?"
"Okay, you?"
"Same, here"
Just then Professor Flitwick walks in and class starts. He says a bit about about charms and teaches us a charm to make objects fly.
"Wingardium Leviosa. Everyone together now"
"Wingardium Leviosa." everyone chanted.
"Good. Remember to pronounce it just like that or the charm will not work. Also remember swish and flick."
Feathers then appear on our desks and we try it. Natalie gets it on her second try. While I get it on my third. Since Natalie and I were able to do it we had no homework. The rest who weren't able to had to practise the charm for homework.
Michelle's POV
Flying, my schedule read. This should be easy. I already knew how to fly a broom since my dad had always encouraged Quidditch at home. He was a huge fan of watching it. I've even been to quite a few of them. My dad was a beater. I hope to get on the Quidditch team too but it's quite unlikely. The last time that someone in first year got onto the Quidditch team was when Harry Potter was in school which was quite a long time ago.
I had this class with Tamara. When I got down to the Quidditch pitch I went to stand with my house. My friend Keith was standing right beside me. I can't believe we ended up in the same house together.
"Hey Michelle! What's up?"
"Hey."
At that moment, Madam Hooch enters. "Hello class, My name is Madam hooch. I'll be teaching you Flying. You may grab a broom that's in the corner over there."
We all grab a broom and put it on the ground in front of us.
"Stick out your right hand and say up. Say it loudly and clearly and the broom should fly into your hand. " says Madam Hooch
"Up." I say and it flies into my hand. I've done it more than a million times so of course it flies into my hand. Tamara was able to do it on her first try too. After everyone manages to get their broom to fly into their hand she yelled at us to get on and hover a bit. She told us how to control it and we just flew around in a circle. Tamara was next to me but Keith was still ahead. I pushed my broom harder and passed him while he was distracted. Soon class is over.
"Well done everyone. You've all done well. Class dismissed."
Natalie's POV
After morning classes it was time for lunch. I sat with Zoey and her friend Gemma.
"What did you think of classes?" I asked.
"It's okay",said Gemma
"Hey did you notice that the sorting hat added extra lines yesterday?"
"Yeah, don't you find it strange? It was giving us a warning or something. What do you think it meant by a enemy will rise that is like and not like before?"
"I just think it's implying that a enemy will rise that is like one of our old enemies but not completely the same." says Zoey.
"You don't think it's..." Gemma says with caution.
"Hmmm who knows..." I drift off
"Anyways I'll see you later. I have to go to the library to do some research. Bye", I get up and head to the library.
***
As I enter the library, I skim through an aisle of books, searching for the right one. My fingers hovering over the spines, I finally find the book I've been looking for. I reach over to retrieve the book, and then suddenly I feel someone's hand... HUH! I look over to my right, there stood a boy around my height wearing Gryffindor robes. He has black hair and the average looking dark brown eyes behind his black glasses. I shift my eyes over to the shelf, where our fingers are still touching. I yank my hand away,looking at the ground. I heard robes shifting and I finally looked up, he takes the book out of the shelf.
"Here you go." He says, handing me the book.
"Er, thanks." I muttered. I walk over to an empty table and plop my bag down. He follows me, taking the seat next to mine. I feel his eyes drilling on me. I shift in my seat uncomfortably.
"Hey, aren't you in charms with me?" He asks, still looking at me.
"uhhh, yeah I think so..." I say, the sentence drifting off. He nods. Why is he still looking and talking to me...it's so awkward...where's my friends when I need them...?
"So...see ya later...bye" He gets up and nods his head again. I nod back...dang this is so awkward...well...he does seem nice...
Jennifer's POV
He walks closer to me. Oh dang. WHY MUST THIS HAPPEN TO ME? Here's what happened. Professor Flitwick decided to pair me up with a guy named Collin Huang. He has light brown hair that matches his brown eyes. He is about an inch taller than me. He's in Hufflepuff with me. Anyway, Professor Flitwick decided to pair everyone up to practice charms on each other. Which I find is a stupid idea, considering we are first years. I have a bad feeling of this...uhhh what should I do?
He got us to line up in front of our partner...oh my gosh...
And he told us to say "Aguamenti" at our partner. The professor decided to teach us the Aguamenti charm instead of the levitation charm because he had no feathers left for us to practice on. Since the other class before us, blew them all up. Oh my gosh, will I be able to do it right? What should I do?...sigh I pity him...
"Just to warn you, i'm a rookie at this.." I sighed.
"Uhhh... no worries..." he said looking nervous. He has a good reason to be nervous... Professor Flitwick stood on his stack of books to announce when we can start. He said please don't harm each other, ruin things around you or destroy the room. We're only allowed to soak each other. He says, "Ready your wands, and...GO!"
BOOM!
Everyone looks at the direction of where the boom was, it was a girl who has curly blonde hair. Her face was completely black with soot, while her partner's wand was smoking. Then Michelle was chosen to take the girl to the infirmary. Is that gonna happen with me and my partner...well now, I'm even more scared for him. Then I raised my wand and got ready to say the spell. Wait, what was it again... Aquafenti...something like that... why do i have such a bad memory! oh well let's see if it's correct.
I flicked my wand and said, "Aquafenti!"
BOOM!
I flew back a little from the power in my wand. Then I heard a crash. I look up to see a guy on the other side of the room...under many things. Oh no! Is he okay? Did I kill him? Someone take me away! I'm a murderer! Oh my gosh is he alright? Of course he's not alright.. sigh what am I going to do?
Suddenly, I see a hand pop out of the pile and hearing screams, "HELP ME! GET ME OUT!"
Professor Flitwick ran to the pile of stuff. He started rummaging through the books, while I stood there in shame. After he finally took him out, he said, "Somebody get this poor kid to the infirmary!" He looks around and sees me standing there in shock, and points at me. "You! Get him to the infirmary!"
Michelle's POV
I sighed, after I got out of class. There's toooooo much homework for just the first day of school! Well let's see, I have the 5 inch essay for Potions, have to practise the levitation charm(on our own things) along with the Aguamenti charm, and I don't even wanna talk about transfiguration. Oh well, I can take my mind off this homework when I go to hang out with Jennifer, Tamara, and Natalie. I grinned while I was running to the courtyard of the Quidditch pitch. I slowed down after hearing a school prefect telling me to slow down. I hear footsteps behind me, then an arm put itself around my shoulders...I feel shivers down my spine.
"Hey Michelle! What's Up," Keith said with a carefree attitude and a big smile on his face.
I mirror his smile on my own,"Hey! How was your day?"
We engage into a conversation about our day. I spot Natalie and Tamara, I wave goodbye to Keith and approach them. I look around confused.
"Hey, where's Jennifer?" I ask them, questioning. They look at each other, then back at me.
"Isn't she with you?" Natalie asked, I shake my head. I see a group of first year Hufflepuffs walking by and I jog over to them, Natalie and Tamara hot on my trail.
"Hey, have you seen Jennifer Wu?" I ask. They all look at each other with a worried look on their faces. They then explain the "explosion" during charms, and how she was in the infirmary. I thank them and we head to the infirmary.
We head in, immediately seeing Jennifer standing by a bed.
"Are you OK?" Tamara asks in concern.
"What happened?" Natalie asks. All Jennifer did was point to the bed next to her, moving slightly so we can see. There lay a Hufflepuff boy, All bruised up and sore.
"What did you do to him!" We all said in unison.
"Uhh... long story... " She said sadly.
Then Madame Pomfrey entered the room with bandages.
"May you girls please leave. You are disturbing the other patients." She said with a stern face.
"I'm sorry..." I hear Jennifer mutter to herself. I sighed. Oh Merlin. So much happened already, and it's just the first day here! Natalie walked away first, towards the door and we followed. The four of us walked to the area near a forest and besides the Black Lake. All of us sat under a tree (Not the Whomping Willow, we are not suicidal nor are we stupid. Although Jennifer was about to go into hitting range of it but who can blame her, she doesn't know about the very very violent tree...) and threw our bags at the empty space beside us.
"So..." Natalie started, "What did you do to that guy?" All three of us nodded and turned to face Jennifer. The guy was pretty much banged up. Tamara, Natalie and I was curious on what happened. Jennifer stared back at us and sighed.
"Well...,"Jennifer says, "It happened during Charms class. Professor Flitwick told us to practice a charm using it on our partners since all the feathers were destroyed by the other class. That guy, Collin, was my partner. We had to use the charm, Aquafenti to soak each other. When I tried it...It pretty much exploded. It only made me lose my balance a little bit because of the amount of power. But Collin...not so lucky...I blasted him into the wall, and when he hit the wall, tons of stuff fell on him...and you know the rest..." When she finished, Tamara, Natalie, and I turned to each other. Then we burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, AQUAFENTI!"
"Pft hahahaha, this is priceless!"
"Oh my Merlin, hahahahahaha! Aquafenti! Hahaha!"
"What? How is it funny?," Jennifer yelled, glaring at us. She told us to stop and waited until we finished laughing.
Natalie calmed down first but was still smiling. Natalie said, "You said it wrong. The charm is supposed to be AGUAMENTI, not AQUAFENTI. That's why it backfired."
"Wait a minute, then how come I didn't see you carrying him to the infirmary," I asked being confused. Jennifer thought for a moment. She replied, "I took the other way you must have taken to get back to Charms." I nodded in understanding.
Jennifer replied , "Now...can one of you show me how it really is done? Don't want to end up blowing something else up." I took out my wand and stood up, facing a vast area of grass. I raised my wand, ready to say the spell.
I flicked my wand and said, "Aguamenti!" Water came out of the end of my wand.
"Ohh, so that's how it supposed to be done," Jennifer said. I nodded and sat back down. After that, we spoke about random stuff like homework, teachers, houses, and blah blah. Now, Jennifer and I are arguing about some muggle book series called Peter Johnson and the Olympians...something like that.
"That's impossible! How can they exist! It's fiction," I argued. Jennifer glared at me, and yelled back "If wizards and witches are real, then why can't they exist?"
"We would have known about their existence a long time ago, if they did exist!"
"It's called being smart and hiding themselves!"
"Then-"
"What is this? A fellow Gryffindor, a Ravenclaw, and a Hufflepuff sitting and interacting with a Slytherin," a voice interrupted. We looked up at the person who spoke. It was a guy who wore Gryffindor robes, and has dark brown hair and intense dark brown eyes. He had a smirk on his face and had his friends behind him looking amused.
"Excuse me?" Tamara said confused.
"What's wrong with hanging out with a Slytherin," Jennifer asked. The guy continues to smirk.
"What's wrong is that you're a rich snotty brat just like all the other Slytherins. All of the Slytherin's are arrogant, racist snobs who hate anyone who's not a pureblood," he said with hate clear in his voice as he spoke. He stared at me with hatred. I stood up to face him. I was feeling insulted and was clenching my wand in my hand. "I admit, there are Slytherins who act like that. But, not all of us are like that," I defended.
He looked up and down. He said with disgust, "Aren't you one of the twins? How can you dress in those robes?" I felt outraged. How can he bring my sisters into this! I answered, "I'm not one of them, they're my sisters. We're triplets. You have a problem with that, jerk?" I glared at him. Natalie came in between us and said, "Stop it, both of you." He pushed Natalie away from us and told her to stay out of it. Jennifer caught her in time before she hit the ground.
"How can you push a girl like that, Lewis! I know you're better than that!" Tamara exclaimed.
So his name is Lewis. He ignored her and said, "Stay out of this, Tamara. Why are you defending her anyway? She's a Slytherin."
"That doesn't mean she's a bad person, you can't just judge people like that." Tamara answered, glaring at him. Jennifer said, "She's our friend, we know she's not that kind of person."
Lewis scoffed and rolled his eyes. "How do you know,she's not using you guys for her own benefits. They're known for using people to get what they want. Even the Sorting Hat said so,"one of his friends said.
"It can be good to do anything to get what you want you know." says Natalie.
"She's really open. If there was something wrong, she would say it out loud," Jennifer said. I looked at her. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? As if she read my mind, Natalie said, "It's a good thing for us at times." Well, doesn't that make me feel better? He looked at them in disgust. "You guys must be paid by her just to look like she has friends outside of her house doesn't she?" Okay, that's it.
I stepped towards him, raising my wand. I was super angry. First he insults me, my house and now my friends. What the hell does he think he's doing! Before someone can stop me, I waved my wand and said, "Wingardium Leviosa," pointing at a nearby fallen tree trunk. The tree trunk levitated and was coming towards us. I pointed it at him and his friends. I feel a hand on my arm, I look down.
"Don't do it, it's not worth it." Tamara said. I sighed angrily. I glared at them. They looked scared. Hmph. Serves them right. Never piss me off or you're gonna get it. I put down the tree trunk from where I got it. I clenched my fists. "See, she tried to kill us! All Slytherins are like this. They kill off whoever pisses them off,"one of his friends said, glaring at me, but still has fear in his eyes.
"Then why did she put it down?," Natalie asked, staring at them angrily. Jennifer and Tamara agreed. They were holding me back, just in case they said something out of line again, pissing me off. He was about to answer, when another Gryffindor guy came running with Professor McGonagall.
"Professor, they started to fight using their wands. I saw it myself," he said. I stared at him in annoyance. Tattle-tale. At least see if it's going to be serious. Professor McGonagall stared at us with a stern and strict face.
"No one attacked anyone professor. We may have lifted our wands but we didn't use them," Natalie tried to explain. But Lewis interrupted.
"Pfft. Yeah right. That Slytherin over there," he said pointing at me, "tried to kill me and my friends with a tree trunk using the levitation charm." I rolled my eyes.
"Mr. Hwang, you know she has a name and I doubt she was trying to kill you." Professor McGonagall said. "I don't see you and your friends on the ground, crushed under a tree trunk, right now am I?" Professor McGonagall stared at me with a stern look, I turned silent and looked at the ground.
"That goes, the same for you, . We must speak to each other with respect," the professor said. I looked up and apologized for my behaviour. The others did the same. Even the pompous jerk and his friends. The professor let us off because it's the first day of school. But warned us that she will give us detention next time, if she finds out we did this again.
She walked away with the Gryffindor tattle-tale in tow. But not before, saying we lose House points. Each house would lose 30 points per person. Ouch, poor Gryffindor and Ravenclaw...Half of the guys in his group was in Gryffindor and the other was in Ravenclaw. After she was out of earshot, we glared at each other.
"You're lucky, she was here in time to save your butt, Slytherin, for trying to kill me," Lewis said with contempt. I glared at him, with hatred and anger.
"Enough, do you want to lose more points?" Tamara said.
"I don't care about the freaking house points. I care about putting Slytherins in their rightful places. Which is in Azkaban and in detention, far far away from us. If the professor wasn't here, I would have beaten her in dueling," Lewis replied.
I scoffed. I said, "As if, you could beat me. We'll see who's the better duelist, in class. Or do you wanna see now?" He pulled out his wand and then was interrupted when we heard a voice in the distance. We turned to the direction of the voice. I see Helda, my best friend in my house, running towards us. Lewis scoffed," Ordered back up? Are you that scared of me?" Jennifer gritted her teeth and began walking towards him. "Why you-" she said but then was held back by Tamara and Natalie.
I rolled my eyes at him. I smirked, "I don't need any help, I could beat you easily all by myself."
He glared at me. "Oh yeah, then prove it!" I smiled sadistically and I pulled my wand out.
I answered, "Gladly." Helda took a hold of my arm and told me to calm down. She began dragging me away and took my stuff along.
"Come on, he's not worth it. Besides, you can beat him during DADA tomorrow," Helda said. I sighed angrily again. Why do I always keep getting interrupted! I want to wipe the ground with him! Oh well, I have tomorrow to do it, without any interruptions.
"Oh you're running away now?"
"Oh just you wait, you bloody git! I'll show you who's the better duelist tomorrow!" I yelled as I walked further away.
"Helda, take my iPod and film his defeat for me," Natalie said with a evil smirk. Helda took it gladly and Natalie showed her how to use it. All of us walked away, to the Great Hall for supper. Behind us, we can hear them muttering angrily. We all sit at our dining tables for each house. I rubbed my temples, feeling tired and stressed as they set out the plates, tableware and the food. I looked across the room to see Lewis staring at me, giving me a thumbs down and doing fake crying, imitating me when he "beats" me. I glared at him and stuck my tongue out.
I hear someone sitting to my left and looked to see that it's Keith. He smiled that cute smile of his and greeted me.
He made me smile back unconsciously. I greeted him back. Keith asked, "I heard that you were spotted having a fight with a group of guys from Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Are you okay?" he asks, genuinely concerned. I gave him a smile when I heard the concern in his voice. I nodded.
"My friends stopped us before anything got serious. They were insulting me, our house, and my friends. So what can I do?," I scowled. Keith frowned.
"Tell me who it is, and I'll give them a little talking to." He said quite protectively. I giggled a little bit. He's cute when he's protective...I shook my head. "It's okay. Their leader and the guys in his group, who are Gryffindors, we have DADA with them. I'll crush him tomorrow." I said. He chuckled. "I always knew you were kinda agressive. I remember you would play Quidditch with your sisters, always making them fall off their brooms because they were in your way." I cleared my throat, embarrassed, blushing.
"Don't worry, it's cool to see girls taking charge." he said, while he put his arm around my shoulders. I heard growls and looked around to see where it came from. I saw at least 35 girls glaring at me in jealousy. I was confused. What did I do to piss them off? He looked at them too. He said, "Oh don't worry about them. They're my admirers. They even created a club for me. What's it called again...oh yeah Tanland Paradise. They call themselves...the Tanmirers."
I gave him a weird look. He shrugged his shoulders. "Don't ask me. They made it themselves." I nodded and began eating supper. Man, today is waay too much for just the first day of school.
