*Arrival at the staircase*
"I am sooo hungry"-Nik
"Same, I hope they have taquitos on the table"-Y/N
"Omg yes that sounds so good about now"-Nik
Hart! Mr. Vennet!
You both look up seeing Professor Snape peering down at you.
"Professor", You say acknowledging his presence.
"You both are practically late. What took you both so long hmmm? Probably snogging off somewhere" he sneered scoffing.
"Dear me professor, no, not at all!" You say panicking.
"Silence! Detention, both of you, and 20 pts from Gryffindor"-Snape
"Professor let me explain, we- *you both start to say*
"7 o clock Wednesday night, don't be late Miss Hart, Vennet, tomorrow evening, same time" Snape says cutting you off. He then walks away into the great hall.
"What a dick...I can't believe he won't even let us explain. I thought he seemed cool with you, apparently not"-Nik
Who knows why he has a stick up his arse....he seemed upset about something, whatever, I'll just get it over with, You say irritated storming into the great hall.
Y/N, where is Harry?-Xana
"We don't know, he never came off the train so we thought he already came up"-Nik
You join Xana and Ron sitting down. There is a bunch of chatter going on in the great hall. Everyone stuffing themselves down with food and desserts. These students act as if they've never seen food before. Harry is still nowhere to be seen. Suddenly the great hall doors open. You turn to see it is Harry walking towards you, nose bleeding.
"Oh, Jesus Harry! What happened, are you okay?" You ask concerned standing up from your seat.
"Draco broke my nose!" Harry says angrily. "He petrified me and stepped down on me. Now I have detention tomorrow night with Snape. First day back and I'm already in trouble!"
"We have detention with Snape too, except mine is on Wednesday, you and Nik have the same time I think"-Y/N
"What why?"- Xana and Harry
"We were late by like two minutes cause we waited for you, Harry. I got worried about you and waited about 10 minutes for you. Snape didn't even care for an explanation"-Y/N
"What a git..." Ron says finally speaking after what seemed like an eternity of filling up on food.
"Ding ding ding ding ding"* You hear Professor Dumbledore tapping his glass to get everyone's attention.*
"Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls. Now that our new fellow students have been sorted into their houses and you have eaten to your heart's desire, I shall now introduce you to our new professors of Hogwarts this year. For one, I would like to reintroduce Professor Slughorn, a former Potions Master, and an old colleague"-Professor Dumbledore
"Potions? Then who's"-Ron and Harry begin to say.
"I thought you said Slughorn was the new DADA teacher Harry?"-Xana
"I thought he was! I and Dumbledore had recruited him right before I arrived at Ron's place"-Harry
"And this year our post for DADA will be taught by Professor Snape, I trust his capabilities in the subject just as much as his abilities in potions. I have also promised a few students from last year that I would personally make sure I found a perfect candidate to teach the flying class. He has graciously offered and will also be teaching Flying in the course of this year"-Dumbledore
"Flying class? Oh heck no, good luck with that Y/N. I'm glad I left"-Nik
Your lips curled into an angry frown. Still upset that he left you, and now you're alone with Snape who seems to have a bunch of mood swings regarding you. Why can't I catch a break? You asked yourself.
"This isn't what I meant when I said we wanted a Flying coach," Harry says. "We are so screwed. This year is gonna suck for not only one class but two of them. I actually enjoyed them and looked forward to it"-Harry
"I mean yeah its gonna suck that its going to be more strict but don't you use a lot of spells that you learned from Snape?"-Xana
You look at your friend impressed. Sometimes you forget how observant she is. Both you and Harry learned a lot from Snape just by watching him in the duelling club your second year. Ironically, if it weren't for Snape, most likely all of you wouldv'e been scrap meat last year at the order.
"Yeah, he is extremely good in the dark arts. And he has a few major points when he teaches. As much knowledge he has for potions, I think he may be more suited as a DADA teacher as much as I hate to admit it"- Y/N
"I suppose so"-Ron
"Shhh, I want to hear if there is anymore new beginnings", Nik says rolling his eyes.
You turn your attention back to Dumbledore who begins to speak again after waiting for the great hall to quiet down.
"As such, it is up to Professor Snape to create his schedules for any extra classes or clubs he wishes to pursue for his curriculum"-Dumbledore
"He's going to start a club?"-Xana whispered.
"Now I have something of utter importance to share with you. As we all know, the dark lord is out there. Becoming stronger everyday with new forces. It is of high priority that we remain safe in the corridors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And may I add, highly important that you remain in bed after hours of the night, stay within the grounds, and follow rules enforced by our respected staff. It is our biggest priority to keep yourselves and your friends safe. It is time for bed, please do go back to your dormitories and rest. You all have a busy day tomorrow. Chop Chop!"-Dumbledore
Everyone in the great hall got up from there seats and descended to the stairs. You, Xana, Nik, Harry, and Ron make way to enter the Gryffindor Common Room. Oliver sees the five of you through the doorway and gets up off the couch.
"Does anyone want to tell me who and how we already lost 30 pts when classes haven't even begun?"-Oliver
"Just 30?"-Nik says
"What you mean just 30, don't tell me you lot had something to do with this?"-Oliver
"Wow, Snape only took away 10 pts from each of you, that's generous. Never been done before." Xana says looking over at me then Harry. "I wonder why he's being so lenient with you guys".
"No idea" You say confused and eyeing Nik and Xana. The four of you giving each other a puzzled look.
"Well I highly doubt Snape is trying to be nice after all this time", Ron scofferd. "The bloody man did after all give you guys detention. He could've just done one thing instead of both. We all know if it were Slytherin, it wouldv'e been 5 pts or nothing at all."
"Perhaps, but for Gryffindor it is usually a lot more than that"-Xana
"Whatever it is, get yourselves into less trouble as possible. We've got a house cup to win before I leave this school"-Oliver
"True, Xana you should go before you get in trouble like us and get pts taken away from Hufflepuff. Otherwise Snape will just hate this entire group solely", You say laughing.
You all have a group hug and Xana leaves to go to the Hufflepuff basement in the dungeons near the kitchen.
"Goodnight guys, Im tired and need rest. I have a feeling our DADA teacher isn't going to go easy on us tomorrow."-Y/N. You go up the tower stairs and go into bed crashing into a deep sleep.
