Harry and Draco both woke up a bit early so they could shower before their first day of school. They both got showered and dressed in their robes. They waited down in the common room for Blaise and Theo. Harry knew Pansy was going to take forever to get ready, so the boys left, knowing she would eventually arrive. The four boys arrived at breakfast and eventually Pansy arrived about 20 minutes later.

She walked in and sat down next to Draco. "So has Professor Snape passed the schedules out yet?" She asked as she put some food on her plate. (Also I want to preface with the schedules. I just kinda googled first year schedules and went off that. Also I know Lucius has his classes that I mentioned in the previous chapter. The boys don't have to take that since they are raised by wizarding parents.)

Harry shook his head no as he picked at his food. He was a nervous eater, so hadn't eaten much breakfast. "Not yet Pansy. I imagine it'll be soon. Since most of the Slytherin house is down here now." Harry said loud enough for Pansy to hear as he took a sip of his juice. Pansy just nodded as she started to eat.

Draco turned to Harry and frowned a bit. "Are you sure you wanna keep picking at your food? You know dad or mom is going to get at you for not eating. You could go up and ask for a stomach soother if you want." He said softly to his brother, not wanting to embarrass him or anything

Harry shook his head no. "I'll be okay Draco, really." He said to his brother. "They both know I am a nervous eater, pretty sure mom and dad knew this would happen." He added before taking a small nibble of his toast.

Meanwhile up at the teachers table, Lucius and Severus were having a quiet conversation about their two boys. "So, I ended up putting Harry and Draco in the same classes. I know how Draco can get when he isn't around Harry. They will both benefit from it." He said to Lucius

Lucius nodded as he took a sip of his coffee, noting Harry hadn't eaten much, but didn't say anything. "Sounds like a marvelous idea Severus. Good thinking." He said smiling. "Well I am going to go prep for my first class. I'll see you at lunch?" He asked his husband as he stood.

Severus smiled and nodded. "Have a good first day." He said with a smile and watched his husband walk off. Severus then stood to go give his Slytherins their schedules. He handed out the schedules and answered any questions his house had before going down to the dungeons to prepare for his first class of the day.

Harry and Draco both compared their schedules and smiled when they saw they had the same ones. Today (monday) they had Charms from 9-10, Herbology from 10-11, a break from 11-11:15, Potions from 11:15-1:15, lunch from 1:15-2, Defense Against the Dark Arts from 2-4, study hall from 4-6, dinner from 6-7, and then spare time from 7-9.

Both boys then headed to their first classes which was Charms. It went pretty well, mostly just theory for the first day before any spell casting. Draco and Harry hadn't been bothered by any one yet. Herbology pretty much went the same for them, but then potions happened. Harry and Draco sat up front, as both boys enjoyed potions, but also wanted to make sure they could see. They were talking softly about the charms homework, when that red head from the sorting last night walked in, complaining rather loudly about how he hated having to take potions with a bunch of snakes. Harry turned to glare at the boy, when the boy noticed him and basically ran towards the front to sit next to Harry.

"I never got to introduce myself to you last night. The name's Ron Weasley." He said, holding his hand out for a handshake.

Harry frowning, very much not liking the attitude of this boy, or should he say Ron had. Harry just nodded, not accepting the hand shake. "If you are just going to interrupt during this class please sit somewhere else, Ron. Draco and I would like to pay attention and not lose points." Harry said sternly to Ron.

Ron frowned. "You should've been sorted into Gryffindor like your parents, not some slimy snake." He said rather rudely, before going off to sit with some girl.

Harry frowned, but didn't get a chance to say much in response as Snape dramatically walked in, with his billowy robes. For the rest of potions Harry didn't really interact or pay much attention. They weren't really brewing today, just learning how to prep ingredients and such. Severus had noticed something was up with his son and once class was over he cleared his throat.

"Harry and Draco could he please stay after for just a second." He said. Everybody cleared out and left for lunch as Harry and Draco stayed back. "So which one of you is going to tell me what happened before I entered the classroom." Severus said sternly to both his boys as he stood in front of them.

Draco and Harry stood there for a second before finally Draco spoke up. "If you don't tell him I will." He said to Harry.

Harry groaned. "Okay fine. Ron Weasley happened. It was nothing really and I guess I was rude. He walked in complaining about taking potions with a bunch of snakes. He then saw me and ran to introduce himself, since I never gave him the chance to yesterday. He held out his hand for a handshake, I declined and said that if he was just going to interrupt during this class to sit somewhere else so Draco and I could pay attention and not lose points. He then said I should've been sorted into Gryffindor like my parents, and not some slimy snake." Harry said quietly and looked down. "How does he even know who my parents are?" he said, sounding frustrated.

Severus frowned and sighed softly "Dumbledore probably. I know he meets with Molly. I'll deal with it Harry. You two go to lunch. Harry, take this stomach soother please so you can actually eat. Also, me and dad, and your father are very proud of you two, no matter what. The hat puts you where it thinks you would best succeed, so you were meant to be in Slytherin Harry, despite who your parents were." Snape said gently to Harry.

Harry blushed a bit and nodded. He took the stomach soother, and both boys headed off to lunch. Harry was feeling much better, so actually ate some lunch, talking to Blaise and Theo about the classes they had had so far. Severus had told Lucius about the little incident that occured in the potions classroom, and both men decided to have a chat with Dumbledore. The rest of the day pretty much went smoothly, and by the time dinner was over Harry felt pretty tired. Lucius had also talked to both boys privately during their study time and Harry was feeling a lot better after the quick hug and talk from Lucius.

After dinner the boys and Pansy went back to the common room to do some homework, all of them sitting in a group. Harry made sure to sit between Draco and Blaise, as he felt the safest between those two. He had a bit of a crush on Blaise, but tried his best to ignore it most of the time, because he wasn't sure if the italian felt the same about him. Soon it was 9 and the boys went up to their room and got ready for bed. They all ended up falling asleep pretty quickly.
