Classes

Harry's pov

I woke up very nervous to start my new classes. I got dressed and I met with Ron and Hermione in the common room where they were waiting for me.
We were making our way to the great hall for breakfast. We walked down all the stairs, too many stairs in my opinion. We walked in and I saw Draco, I waved at him but he didn't wave back.

     I knew our friendship wouldn't last. Whatever, I have more friends. We sat down at the Gryffindor table and began to eat pancakes, waffles, bacon, eggs, and everything we could stuff in our stomachs until we were to full to continue. I turned around and looked at where Draco was sitting. He was already looking at me and he just rolled his eyes and looked away.

     I just looked back at my friends and they started a little conversation about how scared they were for their classes. I didn't say anything I just listened.

     We had all gone through our first classes I didn't have any with Draco so far. I really wanted to ask him why he was ignoring me and acting like he hates me all of the sudden. I don't know it may sound stupid, I just met him yesterday but I wanted more friends. Maybe I did something wrong that he didn't like, then I'll have to fix it.

     I was walking to the Great Hall for lunch and I was just walking around to pass time and then I realized I had no idea where I was at. I wasn't going to worry tho because i'll find where I'm at eventually.

     I heard footsteps behind me and I got a little worried, why would someone be out during lunchtime. Well actually I am, but that's not the point. The footsteps were getting closer and I began to run a little. It scared me half to death when I heard someone say, "Potter, calm yourself it's just me" in a yelling whisper. I turned to see Malfoy. "Anyways what are you doing 'round here?" He said. "I could ask you the same thing" but he just glared at me after I said that. "Draco why are you being so mean to me, I've done nothing." I said hoping he wouldn't take it the wrong way. "I don't know Potter, I just don't think Slytherins and Gryffindors can get along" and with that he left.

     I didn't want to follow because I had a strong feeling he wasn't going to the Great Hall. I started to walk down a familiar hallway and another and another until I found myself by the hospital wing. Honestly how did I get here.

     I just walked to the Great Hall because I knew where I was going now. I walked down more hallways just studying the paintings and I quickly found myself outside of the great hall.

I started to tear up and I don't know why. It's just been a long day, I really wish I had my parents, all this new stuff is overwhelming, and I've already lost a friend. I walked in and I made eye contact with with Draco he began with a glare and his expression changed to look of confusion and a little concern. That's exactly what I didn't want, I don't want pity for anything. Especially if part of it was his fault. I just walked over to the Gryffindors table and wiped away the tears because I didn't want questions.

After lunch was over I had a few more classes. I went to potions next. I was walking down the class when I saw other people going to the class. I caught up with hermione and I saw Draco. Great I have him in this class.

I sat down and I didn't want to get in trouble or miss something especially since it's my first day of classes. Snape started to say things and I wrote everything down, I have been writing for a few minutes now when Hermione elbowed me and I looked up at Snape. He began asking me questions that I didn't know how to answer and Hermione kept raising her hand. I don't know what happened after that because I tensed up and all I felt was shame, embarrassment, sorrow, and nervousness. I just wish I knew what I was doing.
