Chapter Three: Classes and Gryffindor's new Seeker
The next day was Saturday. Luckily for them weekends were class free days. Like always Vanessa was the first one up before her roommates. She took Dude out so he could do his business before bringing him back and fed him. Then she quickly got her stuff to head to the showers. She took Pickett out of her hair so the hot water won't hurt him but too her surprise he was shower with her. It was cute and funny that she wished that she had videotaped it. When she was done she headed back to the common room with Pickett on her shoulder and that's when she saw Malcom.
"Oh hello, I've never seen you here before. You must be new here. I'm Vanessa. Vanessa Potter." She said
Malcom eyes widen a little. He knew who she was and was a little worried to tell her who he is.
"I'm Malcom. Malcom Mim." He said
"Mim? Are you related to Madam Mim?" She asked
"Yyyeah, that would be my grandmother." He said as he scratched his head nervously.
"Cool, its' nice to meet you." Vanessa said
She held out her hand to shake his and that surprised him.
"You're King Adam's and Queen Bell's daughter and you're not scared or worried that a kid from the Isle is here right in front of you?" He said before shaking her hand.
"I always believed that everyone deserves second chances. Just because you were born on the Isle's doesn't mean that you're just like your parents." She said "Or in this case your grandmother. Besides if you were like her you might have already tried to hex me or turn into a hideous creature."
"Yeah, that's Grams." He sighed
"Since you're new here I can show you around if you want?" She asked
"Thanks." He said
"Come on I'll show you to the Great Hall. That's where all the great food is." She said
Seeing that this guy was okay Pickett decided to show himself.
"Oh and this Pickett. He's a Bowtruckle." Vanessa said
"Whoa, I've never seen anything like him." Malcom said in awe
Pickett started making some noises.
"What's he doing?" Malcom asked
"Talking." Vanessa stated
"What did he say?" He asked
"That you have strange hair." Vanessa chuckled when he pouted and muttered that its' not strange.
So while she was showing him where the Great Hall was she told him everything to know about the school. How things work, the houses and rivalry between the houses, rule, sports, classes and the teachers. They sat down at the Gryffindor table and plates of food appeared in front of them. Malcom expression was in awe at it before he quickly dived in. Vanessa couldn't help but mentally laugh. His hunger was just as bad as the twins. Then again he was from the Isle and from what she remembered nothing grows there and all they get was whatever leftover the other kingdoms had. That was something that made her mad as it wasn't fair for their children.
After a few minutes of eating other kids started coming in. She knew for the twins and Lee they'll be sleeping in till noon. Artism came in and went to sit down with Vanessa.
"Morning Vanessa." Artism smiled
"Morning." Vanessa smiled
Malcom was still busy eating to introduce himself.
"This is Malcom Mim. He's new here. He transferred here from Isle." Vanessa said
Malcom looked at them with a smile and his mouth full of pancake pieces.
"Hri" He said as he tried to swallow.
Artism just smile but wasn't sure if he could trust him. He was never one to judge but when it came to Vanessa's safety he didn't want to let his guard down. Then Rain came in and quickly hurried to their table.
"Morning everyone." She smiled
"Morning." Vanessa and Artism said together.
Rain looked at Malcom with a cheery smile. All Malcom could do was stare at her with wide eyes and a blush across his face.
"Hi I'm Rain Lovegood. Ravenclaw. What's your name?" She asked
Malcom swallow the last bit of food but didn't know what to say. Vanessa couldn't help but found this amusing.
"Hummnam…" Was all Malcom could say.
"Hummnam? Interesting name. May I call you Hum?" Rain smile
That made Malcom cleared his throat before speaking.
"N-no, my my name is Malcom." He said
"Oh, I like that name too." Rain said
After breakfast Vanessa and her friends showed Malcom around and where the classes were. Then around Lunch time she introduced him to Lee, Fred and George. They took a liking to him as he was a bigger prankster as them. On Sunday the four of them played a prank on Mr. Filch.

When Monday came everyone got their schedule. Vanessa seemed to like her schedule. She was saddened that she got Divination as she wanted to do Ancient Ruins but guessed it was already filled. Then she had Potion, Transfiguration, Charms, Herbology, History of Magic and Astronomy, Defence Against the Dark Arts and Care of Magical Creatures. Divination was first and she couldn't be any more bored with it. Sitting down with her at the table were Malcom and Artism. Sadly Rain didn't have this class. The three of them were thinking that she had the right idea.
"Welcome my children. In this room, you shall explore the noble art of Divination. In this room, you shall discover if you possess the Sight." Professor Trelawney "Hello, I am Professor Trelawney. Together we cast ourselves into the future."
"Why would anyone choose this class?" Malcom asked in a whisper
"For Artism and I it was our back up. Apparently Ancient Ruins was already full." Vanessa whispered as the teacher went on talking.
"I hear this class is supposed to be an easy O. All we have to say is what she wants us to see." Artism whispered
Vanessa didn't believe it but just had to suck it up. Their next class was Potion; mostly everyone that wasn't Slytherin lease favorite class. Though its one of the classes that Vanessa was great at. Professor Snape was the man that took her and Harry to safety that night and she quickly recognized him when she first came to Hogwarts. Though he doesn't show it since he's head of Slytherin house she is his favorite student. As always Vanessa and Artism were potion partners, Rain decided to be Malcom's partner since he's new at this and as for the twins and Lee Snape had them separate hoping it will make them concentrated. That's never going to happen. When the chimes rang class was over.
"Miss. Potter, I need to speak to you." Snape said with dullness in his tone.
Artism gave her a worry look and wanted to stay.
"Alone, Mr. Scamander." Snape glared
"I'll see you in Transfiguration class." Vanessa told Artism
Artism nodded and left. When the door shut and knowing that they were alone Snape went over to cabinet where he had all his home potions.
"Any changes, Vanessa?" He asked as he was looking through his potions.
"No not really." She said as she fiddle with medallion.
"Hmm." He said found the vile that he was looking for and handed it to her. "This is a new serum for your thirst. If my calculations are correct it should last you for a month. Come to me or the Headmaster if there've been any changes."
"Thank you but what was wrong with the old one?" She asked
"I've noticed that older you get the stronger your thirst gets as well. Hybrid vampires are still unheard so we're not sure if your thirst is deadly as a normal vampire." He said
Only Dumbledore, Snape and McGonagall knew that Vanessa is half vampire and half witch. She got her vampire side from her father but she never knew him at all. When she was ten her vampire side started to take its form. For her safety they bind her vampire side with the medallion that her father gave her when she was a baby. It sealed her other half away but not her thirst.
"Thank you, Professor. And don't worry. The moment that I open this door I'll make an annoyed face as if you were lecturing me about something." She smirked "Can't have the Slytherin house think you've gone soft."
She opened the door, made a face like she had said and left the dungeon. With her hearing she could have sworn that she heard him chuckle a little. After that she went to her Transfiguration class. Then they a few minutes for a break and during that time Harry and Ron came to the courtyard looking for her.
"Vanessa! Vanessa!" Harry called
"Yes! Yes!" Vanessa joked
"You won't believe what just happened to me." Harry said
"Harry just became Gryffindor's new Seeker." Ron cut him off.
"Really?" Vanessa smirked
"But you're a first year. First years never make it on the team." Lee said
"McGonagall said she'll make an exception." Harry shrugged
"Well then congrats, mate. I'm Lee Jordan, Commentator." Lee introduced himself.
"So it looks like both Potters are on the team." Rain smiled "Vanessa is a Chaser but also the understudy as Seeker as well."
"I'm really proud you, little buddy." Vanessa smiled as she ruffled her cousins' hair.
"Will you come and watch me when I practice one on one with Wood?" Harry asked
"Sure, I don't mind giving you some pointers as well." Vanessa said as she pulled him in a one side hug. "Have you seen the trophy case?"
He shook his head no and Vanessa quickly showed him the trophy case where both his dad and her mom got for playing on the Gryffindor team.
"See, we're both descendants of great quidditch players. The love for the game is in our blood." She said
After that she and her friends headed to their next classes; Charms, Herbology and History of Magic. Then they had lunch. After that she had Astronomy and her favorite class the Defence Against the Dark Arts. Their new DADA teacher Professor Quarrel gave her some bad vibes. He seems harmless but there was something off about him; especially when the back of his head is turn towards her. Lastly the class that she's been waiting to do since first year: Care of Magical Creatures. The Professor was a little off his rocker but truly loved magical creatures. Of course it was just the basic stuff on the small creatures. He was a little envious of Vanessa when he saw her Bowtruckle. So far it's been a great day.
