Chapter 12: First Day of Classes.
"Baby Girl wake up" Severus said.
"Daddy, what...time... is... it?" asked Kat sleepily.
"Six" answered Severus, "Today is the first day of school, Princess".
"Ok daddy" said Kat getting up off of her father's lap.
"Go take a shower then go take Lily on a walk and feed Eragon" instructed Severus.
"Ok daddy" said Kat going into her room.
When Kat went into her room she grabbed a pair of dark washed jeans, a pair of cowgirl boots, her house tie, a dress shirt, and her school rob. She went into her bathroom and took a shower and got ready for the first day of school. She came out of her bedroom with Lily at her heels.
"Hey dad, I am going out now" Kat said.
"Ok honey" said Snape.
Kat and Lily walked out of the dungeons and then out of the castle. Kat enjoyed her early morning walks with Lily because they let her enjoy the beauty of her kingdom. As she was heading to see Eragon, Kat saw Professor Sprout out in the gardens of the school.
"Good morning Grandma Sprout" said Kat walking over to her.
"Good morning Kat" answered Kat.
"How are you?" asked Kat.
"I am fine. Out on your morning walk?" replied Sprout.
"Yes Mama, I will see you later" said Kat.
Kat and Lily ran to the barn. Kat greeted Eragon with a smile and a pat on the head.
"Do you want to go for a ride, Eragon?" asked Kat.
In his own way, Eragon answered Kat. Kat want and got Eragon's saddle and bridle to take him on a quick ride before breakfast. Kat went around the lake once and came back to the barn so that she could feed Eragon and get back to the castle. Lily and Kat walked back to the castle and into the Great Hall. Kat and Lily sat at the Gryffindor table and ate breakfast. As they were eating breakfast, Severus came into the Great Hall and stopped by were Kat was sitting and gave her backpack.
"Thank you, dad" said Kat.
"Your welcome Kat" replied Severus.
Professor McGonagall soon after passed out time tables.
"Thank you, Mama" said Kat.
"Your welcome" said McGonagall.
Kat's first class was her father's class.
"Harry I will show you to Potions" Kat told Harry.
"Thank you, Can Ron come?" asked Harry.
"Ya, come on or we are going to be late for class" answered Kat.
Kat and her friends walked down to the Potion's classroom with Lily at their heels.
"Sit Lily" said Kat as they got into the Potion's Lab.
"Is Lily staying with you?" asked Ron.
"Ya, she has to stay with me due to Professor Quirrell the DADA professor not liking me" answered Kat.
"Why?" asked Harry.
"Because of us being heirs of Hogwarts" replied Kat.
"Really!" asked Harry.
"Yes, if you want we can ask Professor Snape to make a Potion to tell us" said Kat.
Just than Severus walked in with a scowl on his face and his robs swirling around his feet.
"Welcome to first year potions" said Snape in a monotone, "I am Professor Severus Snape. I will teach you the art of Potion making. How to brew fame, stop death and heal".
"Today, we will be taking notes" said Snape meanly.
All the students took out paper, quills and ink. They wrote everything that Professor Snape said down and soon the class came to an end. The first years walked to their next class Charms. Once to the Charms class room they saw the small Professor Flitwick.
"Welcome to Charms" squawked Flitwick.
They got the same speech about what they would be learning in the coming months. Classes seemed to go by very slowly that day. Kat was happy when the final bell rang for the end of the school day.
"Guys, I need to go see my dad and then Eragon" said Kat to her friends.
"Ok" said Harry.
Kat walked down to her home. When she walked in, she saw her father sitting in the same chair he had been sitting in last night looking very stressed.
Kat walked over to him and asked "Are you ok? Daddy"
"Just stressed, Princess" answered Severus.
"Do you want to come riding with me before dinner?" she asked.
"I would like that" Severus replied.
"I have to get out of my school cloths real quick" Kat said going into her room.
Kat took off her school clothes and changed into a pair of jeans, a t-shirt that said 'Dance like no one is watching' under that she put a pink long sleeve shirt and her riding boots. She went out into the sitting room to see her father had changed into a pair of black jeans which overtop of them was a pair of chaps, a navy blue long sleeved flain shirt, cowboy boots and a black cowboy hat. Kat was in shock that her father looked liked a cowboy from the old west.
"Dad! When did you get this outfit?" she asked.
"I bought this when I was training to be a Potion Master in the U.S." he answered.
They walked out the door without Lily. Walking through the Entrance Hall with many students looking at them in shock of seeing their Potion Master in jeans and cowboy gear; walking next to his daughter in a similar outfit. Once outside, they both let out a sigh and walked the rest of the way to the barn. Once in the barn, Kat want and grabbed Eragon's saddle, bridle and saddle pad as well as other things to get Eragon ready for riding. Kat got Eragon ready for riding while Severus got black and white Quarter horse that he had brought for himself named Potion.
"Are you ready? Daddy" asked Kat.
"Yes Princess" answered Severus.
They walked out of the barn leading their horses. Once outside they got onto their horses. Kat rode next to her father; both relaxing with each step their horses took. They looked prefect together.
"So how was your first day?" asked Severus.
"Ok, I am afraid of Quirrell, daddy" answered Kat.
"Why? Princess" asked Severus.
"I have an odd feeling something is not right about him" replied Kat.
"I get the same feeling about him" said Severus.
"So what do you think of Hermione Granger?" asked Kat.
"She is truly a know-it-all" said Severus.
"Really, Daddy" said Kat.
"Yes" said Severus.
They lost track of time talking and riding, they did not find the time tell they saw the sun setting over the lake. They turned back and raced to the barn. Once they got their horses taken care of, they went into the castle and had dinner. After dinner, they took showers and sat down in the sitting room to read for a bit before bed.
