Us girls woke up and put on our uniform. The Salem students wear a more laid-back uniform. Black sweatpants and Green T-shirts. We wear our black robes over top and running shoes. The running shoes can be any colour. Us older kids know we have gym class to start our days. Looking at the Hogwarts uniforms I am glad I go to Salem.

We go downstairs and head to breakfast. I notice not a lot of students are there to begin with. We eat some waffles and bacon. The boys come join us and chow down. Slytherin table is quiet thinking. Almost all Slytherin table is here. There are a few Ravenclaws and two Hufflepuffs. There are no Gryffindor's.

Draco stands on the bench. All the Slytherins look at him "Meeting in the common room after breakfast right before class. Everyone be there." He tells them. We all go back to eating. Before long other students start to come in. I see the heads of houses go and hand out the schedules for the year. Professor Snape comes over and hands me mine

"Thank you, professor." I tell him. He looks at me with a small flash of gratitude. You wouldn't know unless you were looking for it.

Dumbledore stands up "I would like after you eat breakfast for you to stay for a few minutes I have an announcement." He goes and sits back down. I do hope we are starting classes late or the Slytherin meeting will have to wait. I look over at Draco and meet his eyes. I swear he can tell what I am thinking he nods and takes my hand, giving it a squeeze. I know everything will be alright.

The rest of the students stream in Dumbledore stand up again. "I have spoken to Salem Elite teachers, and they think it is a good idea for Hogwarts students to take at least one mandatory class that is offered at Salem Elite. You will be all taking Grimoire making." I hear a collective groan "this class will start in a week. You are dismissed class starts in two hours."

All of Slytherin get up and head to our common room. I notice all the rest of the students done eating get up and leave the great hall as well. We all file into the common room and sit down. Draco goes and stands at the front.

"Alright, as you heard Professor Snape last night we have to look after our own. My friends and I have come up with a way to do this more effectively." He announces. He goes on to explain everything we worked out last night. He tells the Hogwarts Slytherins to buddy up with a Salem Slytherin and stick with them as much as possible. I really do hope this plan works and we succeed in dethroning Dumbledore. I think he is getting a bit old to run a school.

Salem students all run off to our gym class. We start the class starting with our jumping jacks and notice the Hogwarts students coming out. They start participating. I guess they now have to do a morning gym class as well. I notice some of the kids getting very tired quickly. Each gym class is separated by year. That way the younger years don't get over worked and the older years don't get under worked.

We have to run around the lake a few times. I notice there are only a few Hogwarts kids that can keep up with the pace that Salem is setting. The others seem to be just way too tired. Probably a good thing they are doing gym with us, because the one's keeping up with us might be one or two quidditch teams.

We finish our run and are told to go shower, change into our other uniform and go to our other classes.

"What class do you have, Jojo?" Draco comes up to me and asks. He goes to put his arm around my shoulders.

I duck away, quickly. "Eww, you stink," I tell him wrinkling my nose. We both burst out laughing "I have theory of alchemy, then I have potion designing 101. What do you have?"

"I have potions with Uncle Sev, then transfiguration." He tells me as we walk up into Hogwarts making our way down to the common room. I know the showers will be busy, especially with both schools needing to use them. I head up to the girl's washrooms. I see professor Babbling, our Alchemy professor. He is transfiguring more showers and shower stalls, so we don't have to wait.

"Thanks, Professor." Us girls tell him

"You're very welcome." He says smiling at us. He finishes up then leaves, that way we can take our showers. Lil, Abbie, Pansy, Daphne and I all go get into showers close to each other. I turn on the water and feel the hot spray come down on me. My skin starts to turn red from the heat. I start to think.

Professor Babbling is our head of house. He is on of the nicest professors, to any of the houses. He is that father figure for most of the Slytherin's and we know we can go talk to him for anything. During family week, he will be the family for all the Slytherin's who don't have family. I can't imagine going through my school years without Professor Babbling.

I am excited to have my first class with Professor Snape, from what I understand. Professor Snape asked to teach the Potion master students and Professor Turner, Salem's potion professor is taking some of the Hogwarts younger years potion classes. I know Professor Turner will do an amazing job with the first three years of Hogwarts. She is one of the best potion mistresses I have heard of. I know Professor Snape's reputation is unmatched, though. So, I know the older students will definitely benefit from having Professor Snape teach us.

Before I know it, my shower is done, I stand under the hot water spray for what feels like a few minutes then exit the shower. I conjure my towel and dry myself off. I head to my room to change into my skirt, leggings, and white top. I put my cloak over top and some black flats. I put on some light nude makeup. I look around seems like I'm one of the first out. I head to the common room and see the boys sitting on the couch waiting for us, girls. I go sit on Draco's lap.

"Hi, beautiful." Draco says giving me a light kiss.

"That was fast." Blaize said. He looks at me impressed, like I have actually accomplished something.

"I am normally pretty quick in the shower. I always feel like I am in there longer than I am," I tell him.

We talk, waiting until then other girls finish up.
