My life is going great! Not. I have the worst Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in history, Professor Umbridge. That fat, pink lady has a lot of mental issues, more than Snape and that's saying something. I'm going to make fun of this lady.

"Hey Trumpbridge!" I yelled.

"How dare you call me that," she yelled back. "Now apologize."

"Make me!"

One of the other first years laughed softly.

"I'm my class we respect the teachers."

"In my class we respect the teachers!" I replied mockingly.

"That's it, detention for you."

"As if I care," I paused, " pink lady."

Ignoring what I just commented, Umbridge said, "now, put away your wands, we won't be needing them this year."

"Trumpbridge!" I called snottily. I changed the tone of my voice to sweet and asked, "I mean Professor Umbridge; how come we aren't going to use our wands," I asked sweetly.

"Because, there won't be any danger coming towards us," she replied with equal sweetness.

I rolled my eyes right at her fat face.

"Did you know Voldemort is back in his body and Bellatrix Lestrange escaped from Azkaban and they're both after Harry?"

"First of all, Voldemort is still missing, probably dead-"

"Liar!" I yelled.

"And second, I'm aware Bellatrix is on the loose, but she's not the one after Mr. Potter."

"You idiot, she can come here and terrorize the school just like Sirius Black did two years ago, and if that happens, we need to defend ourselves," I replied matter-of-factly.

"If that were to happen, I'd let the Professors and the Ministry take care of that," she said. "Anyway, let's continue."

Ok this lady seriously needs to shut up about this lesson and let us do something interesting, it's getting annoying and boring.

Class finally ended. It seemed like 5 years, no 5 centuries. As I was walking, I saw Draco.

"Draco!" I called psychopathically.

"Hey Lyra!" He yelled back. "How was Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

"Perfectly horrid, Trumpbridge I mean Umbridge is no fun, we're not even going to use magic, I thought Defense Against the Dark Arts was supposed to be fun," I replied sadly.

"Aww it's ok," said Draco and patted my shoulder.

"I wanna go to Malfoy Manor, that's where mum, Aunty Cissy, Uncle Lucius, and the other ones are. Oh yeah and I got my first detention," I said changing the tone of my voice.

"What did you do?" Draco asked cautiously.

"I kind-of-sort-of made fun of Trumpbridge I mean Umbridge and was being 'disrespectful' in her class," I replied slowly with a small smile.

Draco facepalmed. "That was really smart of you" he said sarcastically. "Do you know she's working for the ministry?"

"Sort of?"

"Yeah and Potter did some magic in front of a muggle and almost got expelled from Hogwarts, so the moral of this true story is to not get into Umbridge's way ok?"

"Ok," I promised. "Well I better go to Charms, see you later, bye!"

"Bye!" Draco stalked off.

After Charms, it was potions with Snivellus. Gosh I love that nickname, I'm so clever.

In potions, Snape introduced himself and explained to us what we're going to do this term. I just want to go home, not my muggle home, my new home that I'm going to see for the first time in my life in Christmas.

"Hey Snivellus, how's your day been?" I blurted out.

"Miss Wilson, in my class we don't blurt out stupid thing," he said slowly. "Five points from Gryffindor"

'That's it, that's how I'm going to make it up to Draco, by taking points away from Gryffindor.'

"Snivellus, do you have a girlfriend?" I asked with curiosity.

"No, why do you care?"

"I see why, your hair is oily , and you're constantly dressing in black. You have serious issues." That got him mad.

"Listen, just because I need to respect your parents and can't do anything to you doesn't mean you can disrupt my class by saying stupid stuff-"

"Aww, is Snapie's afwaid of me mummy and daddy," I teased him in a baby voice.

"ENOUGH!" He bellowed, "Talk to me after class and fifty points from Gryffindor!"

Throughout the class, I was constantly saying the wrong answers on purpose and blurted out stupid stuff. My potions were great, even though I didn't try.

Class was over and now it was time to speak with the devil-wait, my father is the devil, he's just the slave.

"Miss Riddle, sit down," said Snape calmly for the first time. "I know you're only behaving bad is so points can be taken off Gryffindor."

"Well, you've read my mind, see ya!"

"Wait, speaking of reading my mind, I'm going to teach you something call occlumency, your mother and I are quite good at it, so I'm going to teach it to you an-"

"Why can't my mum teach it to me?" I asked.

"You only see her during the holidays right?"

"Yes, now get to the point," I demanded.

"Ok so I'm going to teach it to you when you're at school and Bella is going to teach you during the holidays." He explained.

"Great, when is our first lesson?"

"Tomorrow."

"Ok one question, what exactly is occlumency?" I asked with curiosity.

"I'll explain it later, meanwhile you need to get to your next class." He replied.

I decided not to tell Snape that I don't have anymore classes, so I went into the common room.
