As soon as Dumbledore hits the play button the great hall quotes down.
..................................................


The camera follows behind Clarissa as she walks down the hall. "What to do, what to do?" She asks herself.

As she is walking past a group of first year Slytherin's she hears one mumble something. She stops and listens a little more carefully to make sure she herd correctly.

"That Granger girl is just a filthy Mudblood."

The great hall fills up with gasps coming from different students.

Claire quickly turns around and walks straight over to the group. "If I ever and I mean ever ear you call Hermione or any other  student that name I'll skin you alive." She says glaring at the blonde boy.

Remus laughs a little "oh shit." He says making Clarity and Sirius nod.

The blonde and his friends laugh "and who are you?" The only girl of the group asks.

"Clarissa!" They all turn to see Cedric running over with a busted lip followed by Tom Riddle.

"What happed?" Clarissa asks forgetting about her previous anger. Cedric shrugs as Tom goes to stand by the other Slytherins.

"Ask him he punched me." The Hufflepuff boy says and Clarissa sighs.

"You know what it doesn't even matter. Snakes will be snakes." She says and there's a gasp.

"You really think that?" Clarke turns to see Star standing in the middle of the hall with tears filling her eyes.

Clarity sighs sadly. "My poor little girl." Most of the Slytherins glare at Clarissa.

Claire's eyes widen and she shakes her head. "No, Star... That-- that's not what I ment."

Star scoffs "I thought we we're friends." And with that the Slytherin girl runs off. The group of Slytherin laugh all but one.

The scene changes to Star sitting by the black lake doing homework. Cedric walks over to her and sits by her. "What do you want?"

"Claire is really sorry and for the most part she didn't know you were standing there." Cedric says.

"And that makes it better?" Clarity and a few other people exclaim.

Star glares at the boy "and that makes it better? She's supposed to be my friend. And even she said not all Slytherins are bad then she turns around and says 'snakes will be snakes.'"

"Sorry." The Hufflepuff mumbles

The screen goes black and Dumbledore stops the movie "Restroom brake!"

Lily gets up and walks over to Clarity and Regulus. "I'd just like to apologize for my daughter hurting your daughters feelings." She says with a little nod.

Clarity laughs "its fine. Clearly she's sorry and didn't mean to hurt Star's feelings."

"Settle down, Please so we can continue!" Dumbledore yells over all the noise.

The scene then changes to Clarissa walking into Snape's classroom. "May I help you?" Snape asks causing the girl to jump.

"Actually yeah... Yeah I do." She says as she calms down. Snape gives her a look telling her to go on.

"What is the Sorcerer's stone?" Claire asks and Snape looks at her shocked.

Dumbledore sits up a little straighter and pays close attention something both Remus Lupin and Regulus Black notice.

"Why do you ask?" Snape asks and the girl shrugs.

"I over heard Harry, Ron and Hermione asking Hagrid about it... So what is it?"

"Nothing you need to worry about... Go do your homework."

Clarissa smiles "homework? I don't have any. I did it all at lunch."

Snape raises an eye brow. "Even your Potions homework?" He asks and the girl nods "fine I shall just assign you more."

"Good... I would love to do homework on something deadly."

"Deadly... Why would she want to work on something deadly?" Lily mumbles to herself but James hears her.

"Maybe to get rid of her greatest enemy."

"She's 13!" Euphemia says looking at her son who only shrugs.

"Whatever you say." Snape says handing her a new stack of papers. "On my desk by the end of the week."

Claire smiles "it'll be on you desk by tomorrow night." She says before running out of the room leaving Snape with a small ghost smile.

"Aww is Snape smiling?" Lucius Malfoy teases earning a glare from Snape.

"Leave him alone Lucius dear." Narcissa speaks up. Bellatrix rolls her eyes

Clarissa walks into her dorm to see Hermione and some other random girl. "Who's this?" The girl asks glareing at Clarissa.

Hermione rolls her eyes. "Clarissa this is Lavender Brown. Lavender this is Clarissa McGonagall. Lavender is our new roommate for the time being." She says with an annoyed attitude.

"Okay then."

Dumbledore stops the movie "well watch the last part of the movie tomorrow then the following day we'll start the second one." He announces.
