Chapter 4: Introduction to Magic

The next morning Y/N arose first, heading down to find Hermione heading down to breakfast.

"Mind if I join you?" he asked the bushy brunette

"Of course" she responded almost too eagerly, they made their way to breakfast just in time for the mail. Grey swooped down dropping a letter onto Y/N's toast "You really could've dropped it anywhere else you know" Y/N mumbled causing Hermione to giggle he opened the letter and read it aloud. 

"Dear Y/N,

So proud of you for being sorted into Gryffindor like your grandfather and I, study hard and don't cause TOO much trouble.

Love, 

Dad

P.S 

Sometimes a little bit of trouble is good"

Hermione looked bamboozled as to why Steven would encourage his son to cause some trouble every now and then, "Don't worry 'Mione it's just fatherly banter" she seemed to blush at this

"Oh i'm 'Mione now am i? N/N?" she said clearly holding in a blush causing a neighboring Dean Thomas to elbow him.

"It's never too early for nicknames" Y/N said cheekily 

They made their way to Transfiguration with McGonagall and took a pair of seats next to eachother however McGonagall was nowhere to be found only a Tabby Cat was seated on her desk. They were there about five minutes until the doors once again bursted open and a half awake Ron walked in with Harry in tow "Phew, we made it imagine McGonagall's face if she saw we were late" the Tabby Cat perched on McGonagalls desk lurched forward and transformed into her normal self leading to many shocked faces and a standing ovation from Y/N 

"Thank you Mr L/N" she smiled at Y/N before turning her attention to Harry and Ron 

"That was bloody brilliant" Ron said beaming at the professor

"Thank you Mr Weasley, perhaps you'd like it if I turned you into a pocket watch so you could keep track of time?"

"We got lost" Harry added clearly not supporting his case. "Well then perhaps a map" McGonagall told him sternly.

After transfiguration the three boys headed towards their next class which would be potions with professor Snape, the class took their seats and began socializing before being interrupted by a door barging open where Snape at walked from in a brisk manner waving his wand and slamming the windows shut "There will be no foolish wand waving or silly incantations in this class, as such I do not expect the lot of you to appreciate the subtle science and art behind potion brewing, however those who do possess the skill and ability that is required" Y/N could've sworn Snape made eye contact with him and gave a slight upturned smile before he continued his monologue.

"I can teach you to bewitch the mind, and share the senses, I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory and even put a stopper to death" he then stared at Harry who was writing notes next to Y/N 

"Then again, some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to NOT. PAY. ATTENTION" Y/N elbowed Harry in the ribs causing him to look up into the black eyes of Snape. "Mr Potter, our new celebrity, tell me what i would get if i added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood" Hermione's hand flew into the air, "I don't know sir" "What is the difference between monkswood and wolfsbane" he continued followed by Hermione sending her hand into the air once again. "I do not no professor, I suggest asking Hermione I believe she may know the answers" Harry responded causing Hermione to turn a shade of bright red. 

"Well clearly fame isn't everything Potter, ten points from Gryffindor" 

"Mr. L/N could you please assist your incompetent friend and give me the answers" Snape added glancing at Y/N

"Well sir, from what I've read I believe the addition of asphodel powder to wormwood the result would be Draught of the Living Death, a bezoar is a stone in the stomach of a goat and wolfsbane and monkswood are the same plant also named aconite" Y/N responded rather happy with himself

"Very good L/N perhaps you need to give Potter private tutoring lessons" Snape said with a slight nod of approval to Y/N 

a couple of days after their introduction to potions they were introduced to their first flying lesson taught by Madam Hooch, "Good afternoon class and welcome to your first flying lesson, everyone step to the left side of their broom, come on hurry up now, and repeat after me.. UP!" Madam Hooch's broom flew into her right hand as the class followed suit where only Harry and Y/N's broom flew up on their first attempt, Malfoy got it on his second to which Y/N and Harry gave a nasty look of disapproval. Hermione's broom wouldn't budge and Y/N jogged over to assist her by angling her hand in a different way, on her next attempt the broom flew into her hand and out of sheer excitement she hugged Y/N causing a few Slytherin boys to snicker as Hermione quickly pulled away blushing looking at Y/N's goofy smile as Y/N's took his spot back next to Harry a broom flew up and hit Ron in the face causing the class to laugh hysterically 

"Now, as I blow my whistle you will mount your brooms, hover for a few seconds before dismounting once again, am i clear?" Madam Hooch instructed "Alright 3, 2- MR LONGBOTTOM! COME DOWN THIS INSTANT" Madam Hooch bellowed at Neville who was violently flying all over the place in fear before he slammed into a wall and landed badly on his wrist, Madam Hooch escorted Neville to the hospital wing but not before instructing the whole class that flying under no supervision would end in expulsion.

Malfoy moved over to the area in which Neville fell and picked up a small ball which Y/N recognized as Neville's Remembrall "Did you see his stupid face? maybe if he squeezed this he would've remembered how to hold a broom!" Malfoy joked with his thugs 

"Drop it Malfoy, you slimy git" Y/N called out to him with Harry alongside him

"How dare you insult me you filthy half-blood!" Malfoy spat at Y/N "Leave him alone Malfoy" Hermione told him crossing her arms

"I didn't ask for your opinion you mudblood" Malfoy snarled at her causing many students to gasp and Hermione to tear up causing Y/N anger to see his friend so hurt and assuming the phrase was extremely hurtful Y/N gave Draco an explicit hand gesture.

Draco mounted his broom holding Nevilles Rememberall leading to Harry and Y/N to follow in pursuit despite Hermione's protests; "Come and get it you half bloods" he teased throwing the Rememberall down towards the ground, Y/N nosedived to the ground managing to jump off the broom, catch it with one hand quickly throw it to Harry and then barrel roll onto the ground causing all the students to cheer excluding the Slytherin's ofcourse. 

"Harry Potter!, Y/N L/N!" McGonagall yelled from the castle entry.

"Oh no." Y/N and Harry muttered simutaneously
