I'm in the Great Hall, wand in hand, and tears streaming down my face. In front of me there is a faceless boy, whom I feel like I know, but can't name. "Do it!", I hear a hoarse voice behind me, "He's a traitor and should be punished for his crimes!" The tears quickly dry as my eyes turn a brilliant shade of bright red, "AVADA KEDAVRA!"
I bolt up. Sweat is dripping down my face as I check the time, it's only 4 a.m.? I sit cross-legged and begin evaluating the dream I had. Before I know it, everyone else in my dorm is waking up and getting ready for breakfast. I quickly get ready and begin to walk to the Great Hall with Luna, cringing as I walk in and see the Slytherin table glaring at me. "Jen!", I hear a very familiar voice call to me. I turn and, low and behold, Harry is waving for me to join him at his friends table. I start chuckling as I make my way over to the table, sitting down, I tell him "You do realize I know where you guys sit now right? I've been eating with all of you since my first day!". I can see Hermione and Ron start laughing as Harry turns beet red, "I know that! It's just we wanted to make sure you were going to be sitting with us!". At the head table, we can see Professor Lockhart stand and begin to silence the students. "Well students, I'm sure most of you have heard by now, but if you haven't: I am starting a dueling club! Please refer to your house boards in your respective common rooms for more information. The first 20 people to sign up will get a complementary autographed photo of me!" Of course at that last remark, most of the kids in the Great Hall start excitedly whispering to each other, "As soon as we're done in Transfiguration, I'm going to sign us all up.", Hermione told us. "Um, what about me? I'm not in the same house as you guys." I asked her. Hermione frowned to herself, "Well if you want to sign up you can, there's no way for me to guarantee you do." I laughed at them, "I mean, I will if you guys will." Everyone continues their lunch until a the trio across from me frowns and looks above me. I confusingly turn and find Professor Snape sneering down at us. "Ms. Price, shouldn't you be eating with your own house, since you wanted to be there so badly?" I can hear the Slytherin's at the table next to us start to laugh at me and I look over and see Draco just looking sadly over at us. I grit my teeth and retort, "Professor Snape shouldn't you be able teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, since you want to so badly?" I hear the Gryffindor students sitting around us start to 'ooohh' at my comment as the professor just glares at me and leaves. Ron and Harry are laughing their arses off while Hermione just matter-of-factly says "You shouldn't have said that." Ron, pausing between laughs just says "You should stop saying that or you'll start sounding like Hagrid"
After breakfast, the three, I like to call them the golden trio (a.n. wink wink), head to transfiguration while I go to potions with the Slytherin's.... yay... When we walk in, the tables are practically empty so I take my usual seat in the back and wait for the rest of the class to come in. Whenever any Slytherin would walk in, they'd basically just glare at me and mumble something like 'pug trader'? I don't even have a pug! At least, they all did that until Draco came in and sat with me, all smiles of course. "Draco what are you doing?", I whispered, "You guys are supposed to hate me right now". Draco smirked and whispered back, "I know. This is more fun though." Just after he said that, Professor Snape walks in and goes to the front of the class. "Good morning students, today we will be learning about the effects of putting the wrong amounts of certain ingredients into different potions." As the professor droned on about stuff that I already knew, I began to hear some kind of a hissing sound coming from the wall... But, the hissing could be distinguished into... words of some sort. "Miss Price? Could you please pay attention please or are you too good for that as well?", Professor Snape asks me. Whipping my head to face the front, I hear the hissing stop and pretend to pay attention for the rest of the class.
After what feels like forever, Snape finally let's everyone leave, well everyone but me of course. "Miss Price, due to your behavior in class and the Great Hall this morning I feel it is my obligation to give you detention after classes today." I grumble a few choice words and grab my things and leave the class. "Just remember not to do make those choices again, especially not with me.", I hear Snape call after me. What is he threatening me?

*Hey guys! I hope you liked this chapter as much as I liked writing it! Remember to stay tuned for some more interesting updates and a few plot twists as well. Also: who do you guys think will end up with Jen: Harry or Draco? (Don't really care that I'm shipping 12 year-olds, already did it with Percy and Annabeth) So yeah I think that's it.
