I sat across from James and Sirius as they talked about the class schedule for the day. I was not listening much as I stuffed my mouth with delicious pancakes soaked in maple syrup. I sat in silence as I tried to remember the names of all the Gryffindors in our year, since we will be spending the next seven years together. When it comes to the boys, besides James and Sirius, there was the awkward chubby boy with brown hair named Peter Pettigrew who sat beside Sirius with an expression of awe and the shy brunette boy that sat beside me named Remus Lupin. For the girls there was a red haired muggle born named Lily Evans that seemed to already dislike James, an annoying blonde girl named Maia Gley and her just as annoying childhood friend Ariel Henderson. The two girls were talking all night and were still sleeping when Lily and I went down for breakfast.

I looked over towards the Slytherin table to see that Hunter was still not there. Maybe he also slept in? Would not be the first time, since he nearly slept in yesterday. I could not help but wonder how Hunter was also dealing with being placed in not only different, but opposing households. The other Gryffindors kept talking about how the Slytherin house was known for being evil and in love with anything pure blood or dark magic related, which I ignored just like Lily. Even though she was muggle born, Lily had a friend named Severus Snape that was placed in Slytherin too. She said he was nothing like that, and I said the same about Hunter. They were probably just trying to scare us first years.

"Class is going to start soon," Remus mentioned pulling my out my thoughts. I jumped off the bench as I realized I did not bring down any of my stuff since I had no clue what classes we were going to have until I got down here.

I quickly stated, "I will see you guys in class." Before running up to the Gryffindor tower to grab my stuff. I heard James and Sirius say something as I rushed off, but I did not understand them. I can always apologize later if they were asking me to wait for them. As I got to the dorm I saw the two girls rushing about getting their stuff together. They were muttering under their breaths about how annoyed that neither Lily or I woke them up. I ignored them as I gathered my books. I wondered what they were going to do since they did not get their schedule. As I headed down stairs I bumped into someone wandering upstairs.

"Sorry!" I exclaimed as I looked at the person. It took me a few seconds to realize I had seen him before. He was another first year that joined Slytherin. I think he was also sitting next Hunter. His name was…

"It's okay," he replied quickly with a distracted tone. He avoided looking at me as I gazed around for something or someone.

"Sev" Lily's voice called as she rushed down towards us, "do you have Potions with Slughorn first too?" Severus nodded his head smiling as Lily walked toward us. So this is the person Lily was talking about last night? Severus?

"I was going to ask if you wanted to walk to class together," Sev suggested.

Lily nodded her head as she turned toward me, "want to join us Amber?"

"Sure." The three of us headed down to the potions classroom while the two of them mostly talked together. "Have you seen Hunter?" I interrupted their conversation.

Severus hesitated as he thought for a second then shook his head, "he left the dorm before I woke up." I sighed, where could he have gone then if he did not go down to breakfast? Hopefully he will be going to class.

My eyes scanned the Slytherin table as I looked for Hunter. He never showed up for potions or History of Magic, according to Severus. Where could he have gone?

"Looking for your brother still?" Remus asked from beside me. I nodded my head.

"I understand he is your twin and all but he is in Slytherin, why do you re-" James began and I turned toward him. He stopped mid sentence and turned toward his plate of food.

Sirius laughed, "you looked like my mom for a second."

"You should be happy I'm not," I warned as I stood up from my seat. I saw Severus sitting alone at the Slytherin table and walked over. He seemed like a nice guy, maybe he would be willing to help me?

"Severus?"

He quickly jumped and looked up at me, "what? I told you I have no-"

"I was wondering if you could see if he is hiding in your dorm or something since I can't go in there," I quickly asked before he could say more. Severus groaned as he looked at his plate of food. "Not now, but after you are done eating? Just tell him Amber wants to talk to him."

"Fine."

"Thanks," I stated smiling as I turned back toward the Gryffindor table to see James and Sirius talking quickly to each other with their eyes on me. Remus had a nervous look as he tried to focus on eating and Peter was too distracted by his own food to care about what was going on. "I'll see you later," I called without looking back and headed toward the Gryffindor table. I did not like the expressions on their face.
