We studied potions first. Potions became pretty easy for me because It reminded me of baking with my mom. We were about to study Herbology until I heard a screech from an owl. I looked up and saw an owl flying down toward Ron. It flew right into the potato chip bowl. Malfoy laughed out loud. "That was not very nice you know," I said to him. When he looked at me, his face frowned a bit. "Sorry," he said. I turned my attention to Ron. It turned out that he got a Howler. "What's a Howler?" I asked. Malfoy looked at me. "Are you serious," he said. I nodded my head yes. Before Malfoy could explain to me what a Howler was, I heard Ron's mother's voice echo throughout the room.

"RONALD WEASLEY!, HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR! I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED. YOUR FATHER IS NOW FACING AN INQUIRY IN WORK AND ITS ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT! IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE WE'LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT HOME! Oh Ginny dear. Congratulation on making it into Gryffindor. Your father and I are so proud." {I can say is that she was really mad.} I reminded myself to never get Molly Weasley mad.

Next class was Defense of the Dark Arts. This was one class I didn't want to go to. To be honest, I didn't like Professor Lockhart. Something about him seemed fake. I sat next to Malfoy. "Let me introduce you to your new Defense of the Dark Arts teacher...Me," Professor Lockhart said. He talked for a long time about himself and his achievements. "Now be warned, it is my job to arm you against the foulest creatures known to wizard kind," he said. He took his wand and tapped it against a covered cage. He soon unveiled the cage. "Cornish Pixies," Finnigan said. "Freshly caught Cornish Pixies," Professor Lockhart said. {Are they really that dangerous?} Finnigan laughed. This made Professor Lockhart open the cage. The Pixies few out of the cage toward us. I got up from my desk. I felt a pixie pull my hair. "Let go!" I yelled. I took my book and swung at it. I was able to hit it across the room. I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Come on," Malfoy said. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and led me out of the classroom. We both were out of breath. "That was insane," I said. "Tell me about it," Malfoy said. "He calls himself great, but he couldn't even deal with the pixies," I said. After a few minutes, I heard Hermione say a spell that stopped the pixies from their tracks. Class was dismissed.

Quidditch season was here and the houses were training hard. I was with Ron and Hermione. I saw the Slytherin and Gryffindor quidditch team facing each other. "Uh oh, I smell trouble," I heard Ron said. We ran to them. "You have a seeker. Who?" Oliver Wood say. The Slytherin captain stepped aside to reveal Malfoy. He looked good in the uniform. Ron noticed they got the new Nimbus 2001. They were a gift from Malfoy's father. "You see Weasley unlike some, my father could afford the best," he said. I couldn't believe this. He is making fun of Ron's family because they were poor. {I wonder what he thinks of me. I am practically poor in the wizard world.} "At least no one in the Gryffindor team has to buy their way in. They got in through pure talent," Hermione said. Malfoy turned toward Hermione. "No one asked for your opinion. You filthy little Mudblood," he said. Students gasped. {What did he just call her?}

Ron was about to point his broken wand at Malfoy. "Eat Slugs," he said. The spell back fired at him and now Ron was spitting out slugs. Harry and Hermione took Ron to Hagrid. Malfoy laughed with his team. I turned to Malfoy. I was really angry. "Was that really necessary," I said. "Sophie, listen to me," Malfoy said. "Don't Sophie me," I said. He just stood very still. "What did they or their families ever do to you? What did they ever do to your family? You are such a jerk!" I said. I took my charm bracelet off and threw it at him. "Forget about being friends. We are done," I said and stormed off. I left Malfoy stunned.

I had tears in my eyes. I didn't care. I started to like him. Now, he was a jerk. A total jerk. I got to Hagrid and open the door. I saw Ron still vomiting slugs. Hagrid gave him a bucket to use. I gave Hermione a hug. "Don't listen to Malfoy. He's a jerk," I said. They all looked me confused. I guess they didn't know the term. "It is equivalent to the word git," I explained. {Thats right, they didn't know some American terminology}. Hagrid explained what a Mudblood was. I learned that Mudblood meant dirty blood. Muggle-borns born from muggles with no magic. In a way, I was a Mudblood as well.
