The Slytherin Queen (Year One)

Chapter 4- First Day

I woke up the next morning to Daphne shaking me awake, "Atria," she whispered. "You have to get up, we have Charms in 45 minutes!" I bolted upright and darted into the bathroom, kicking out Millicent so I could shower. I was in and out in five minutes, using a dryness spell on my hair and body. I quickly pulled on my uniform and robes

And put a quick spell on my hairbrush so that it brushed out the knots while I did my makeup. I kept it nice and simple with a light layer of foundation, some blush, black mascara, brown eyeliner with a slight wing, and pale pink lip gloss. My brush had finished brushing my hair so I just pulled it back into a half up style, clipped in place with a silver celtic knot pin.

Then I threw on a pair of earrings and my Gaunt signet ring

to complete the look. I sprayed a bit of Lusidia Crescent Moonflower perfume before stepping into my shoes

And heading out the door with Pansy and Daphne in tow. Draco, Blaise, Theo, Crabbe, and Goyle were all waiting at the foot of the stairs, all looking impatient. While I had only taken about 15 minutes to get ready, that still meant we only had 30 mins to eat breakfast and then find our first class.

We settled into our new formation, only this time Millicent and Tracey were bringing up the rear. All ten of us walked into the great hall together and sat down at the Slytherin table. But this time Theo and I traded spots. He'd wanted to ask Daphne about something so I was sitting with Draco now. Draco grabbed a green apple from a ceramic bowl and took a bite out of it, the satisfying crunch making me want some. But I knew I wouldn't be able to eat a full apple, so I just snatched away Draco's apple before he could take a second bite.

"Hey," he protested, grabbing for his apple. I smirked and took a bite out of it, chewing it and then tossing the apple back to Draco. He rolled his eyes and took another bite. But before he could take a third I stole his apple again and took another bite. "Ugh," he moaned.

But I knew he didn't really care because after that he started tossing me the apple after taking a bite.

After that I pushed back my chair and announced, "I'm full. Let's get to charms, I want good seats."

Everyone who was still eating grumbled a little but still followed me down the hallway to Flitwicks room. We all took seats in the back and waited for class to begin. "Good morning everyone," squeaked Professor Flitwick. "Today we will be starting off class by using the basic levitation spell. Very useful charm, now everyone before this lesson begins I would just like to take roll.
