Chapter 5: Potions

"Jay, wakey wakey" said Draco. I had crashed on the couch and Draco sat there waiting.

"JAY" he yelled in my ear.

"What" I said groggily.

"You're late for breakfast"

"Fine." I got up and walked up the stairs to the dorms. I slipped on my robes and went back to the common area.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Ready." We walked down and entered the great hall.

"Hey Jessie" I said as I walked by her. I looked at Jake and back at her.

"Oh, no, not yet maybe for the Yule ball. I'm not sure yet."

"Oh, whatever."

I sat down next to Draco and started eating. Owls came and dropped packages. Draco and I looked over at the Gryffindor's table while they were awestruck over some kid's Remembrall.

"Jay, you've got mail."

"Oh, thanks. I guess I should write them later."

"Yeah, later. Now read it!"

The letter read,

Dear Jay,

We miss you at home. We have so many questions but we'll let you write them to us instead of taking a whole piece of parchment. We hope you're having a blast. It's been quiet with you gone. Can't wait for Christmas break!

Love,

Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia.

Draco and I just sat and ate for the rest of the time being. If there was an award for most awkward moment we would win for sure.

We left the Great Hall and walked to potions. Professor Snape welcomed us. I looked around for Harry since, we were suppose to have classes together. Snape closed the door and walked away. Harry and Rob burst through the door moments later.

"Potter, you're late. Take your seat" said Snape.

"Yes, sir."

"Potter"

"Which one?" I asked.

"Harry."

"I don't know sir."

"Were Potter would you look if I asked you find me a bezoar?"

"I don't know sir."

The whole Slytherin side erupted in laughter.

"And what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?"

"I don't know sir."

"I see fame isn't everything. At least your sister is level-headed and doesn't go strutting around."

"Well everyone, take notes." Snape snapped.

"Now today class we will make the boil-cure potion. Follow the instructions and you should be fine."

Draco and I finished early so I started on my letter to my Mum and Dad.

Dear Mum and Dad,

I'm having a great time at Hogwarts. I was put in Slytherin. I met a guy named Draco, Draco Malfoy to be exact. I was also hoping that you could meet him for break.

I showed to Draco.

"Like it?"

"Yea. You really want me to come over to your house for winter break?"

"Or we can stay here and annoy the shit out of Harry."

"Class dismissed" said Snape.

I walked out with Draco. We walked past Harry talking to Hermione.

"Oh great, another class with Gryffindor. Harry, what is a broom made of?"

"I don't know sir." Mimicked Draco is a high voice.

"Write it down!"

Everyone from Slytherin laughed.

Hermione's face turned red as she got angry.

"Malfoy! If you've got half the brains that Jay has you'd shut up."

"What's wrong, Potter? Can't speak? Got the Mudblood fighting your battles for you aye?"

Draco and I walked of laughing followed by the rest of the Slytherin first years.
