For You

IV. First Day

      Maybe yelling at the only nice girl you've met so far wasn't the best idea, and you had all intents and purposes to give her a genuine apology, but she was nowhere to be seen and you were going to be late for your first class. It didn't help that you had no idea where you were going either, so you started aimlessly roaming around the halls hoping to find your class,

"Ella!" You hear the voice yell, you turn around and smile when you see Cedric,

"Ced hey! What's up?" You reply,

"I was looking for my class. Do you know where History of Ma-,"

You cut him off and laugh, "No luck here Ced, I've been looking for five minutes." You tell the guy infront of you. He nods but then smiles.

"So does that mean you have it as your first class as well?" He ponders, you nod and,

"Mr.Diggory, Ms.Tuft, looking for a certain classroom are we?" You turned around and see a ghost,

"I um yeah?" You say hesitantly,

"Mr.Binns!" Cedric says and smiles, you look up at the the floating fellow and chuckle,

"Oh your our teacher! It's nice to meet you."

"Come on now, you're wasting my time." He says with a cold stare at the two of you,

Yikes talk about a killer glare.

You and Cedric make your way into the classroom that Mr.Binns had entered, unfortunately the only seats available were at the very front, you sluggishly made your way to the front and sat your head up and prepared for what was the most boring class of your life. Mom never told you how deadly boring his classes were.

The end of the class came rather slowly especially since the teacher had soon fell asleep halfway through his lecture, barely teaching anything about the lesson plan, and instead decided to bore you and the rest of the class with tales of the Goblin War, you and Cedric silently talked much like the rest of the class and waited for the much wanted end of class bell to go off.

Ten minutes passed by and the bell goes off, causing the Professor to wake up and look around you all,

"Alright that's all for today, make sure to have your papers turned in first thing tomorrow." He said gesturing to the papers that were on our desks when we arrived.

You both exit the classroom and you turn towards him,

"How am I supposed to even know what the hell these answers are, I barely learned the whole lesson." You complain,

Cedric chuckles, "After all our classes how about you meet up with me and the twins for our study group, they've been wanting to see you."

"Really?"

"Yeah of course why wouldn't they?" He asks.

"I don't know, I saw all of your faces once I got placed into Slytherin and I figured you'd want nothing to do with me."

"Foolish Ella! We know your nothing like him." He says and he goes silent.

You both look at each other and smile slightly, he grabs your shoulder and squeezes it gently, "What's your next class?"

"Potions." You reply,

"Me too, let's go I actually know where this one is."

"Yeah but now we have to deal with Professor Snape who've I hard isn't exactly the nicest."

"He'll go easy on you, you're a Slytherin."

"But what about you, Hufflepuff." You say with a laugh.

"I can take care of myself, besides he'll be too busy being mad at Fred and George."

"They're in there too?" You ask excitedly, he nods and grabs your hand dragging you along with him to the classroom.

You and Cedric make your way to your Potions class and sit in the middle section,

"You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making. As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through the human veins, bewitching the minds, ensnaring the senses... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even stopper death - if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach." He says while Fred and George loudly make their late entrance,

Snape looks at them and snarls, "Twenty points from Gryffindor. I expect you all to be on time tomorrow or it's detention." He tells the two frizzy red heads.

"You all will learn preparation of the Draught of Living Death, along with the nature of various ingredients, such as Infusion of Wormwood, Powdered Root of Asphodel and Aconite.The class will also cover the twelve uses of dragon blood,the different types of cauldrons, and the types of phials used in potion-making. Bezoars will briefly be mentioned. Today being Monday you will only be here for one period, but don't get too happy cause I'll be seeing you three times a week, Wednesdays will be one period and Fridays will be two periods long." He says and turns his back to the class, someone in the crowd of students talks out,

"And will you always be treating everyone other then Slytherin like shit? Like usual?"

Snape turns around and glares into the crowd of students,

"Let's get to work shall we?" We all nodded quietly and opened our books,

"Now who call tell what I would get if I added powder root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
