The Dark Side Rises (Old Version)

Chapter 2

On Monday morning, Blaise, Theo, Greg and Vince woke up early. Draco and Harry were still fast asleep, so they went down to the common room. The girls were already there. "Where is my brother?" Hermione and Mia said simultaneously, making their friends laugh. "Asleep. Well, Harry was stirring when we left, they'll be down soon." Blaise said. "Okay, well you guys go down to breakfast. Me, Hermione, Mia, Harry and Draco will be there in a while. We've got ages yet." With that, their friends left the common room to go to the Great Hall. Soon, Harry appeared, dragging Draco behind him. The two boys crashed into the sofa and Draco immediately started to fall asleep. "Is he feeling okay?" Skye asked her brother, who smirked the trademark Riddle smirk. "No. He is coming down with flu, but has demanded that he will carry on until he collapses with exhaustion." Harry turned to the group and frowned. "Are we going to breakfast then or not? I'm starving." Hermione giggled. "That's the brother I recognise.
Let's go."

At breakfast, all was peaceful in the hall. Then, the five Slytherin children arrived. Everyone went silent and stared at them. Skye, Harry and Hermione moved to the front of the group and strutted towards the Slytherin table and sat down with the Weasley twins, Marcus Flint, Oliver Wood, Tracey Davis and the rest of their friends. Professor Snape came over with the timetables. "You've made quite the impression on the rest of the school and the staff. You are not liked within the staff, but then, neither am I; nor is mother." The trio smirked. "Good. Just how I expected it to be." As soon as Skyle looked at her timetable, she groaned. "Double Potions with the Gryffindors! This is going to be hilarious." They all ran down to the dungeons and waited outside the classroom for the professor. The Gryffindors came into view and stood together in a group, whispering about 'slimy Slytherins' and how 'Snape is going to favour them'. After a few minutes, a red haired boy stepped forwards and growled at the Slytherins. "Look who it is. It's only the darkest trio to ever step into Hogwarts." Skye smirked. "Well, I didn't realise that the school started taking mudbloods and blood traitors now. I know who you are. Red hair and a hand me down robe? You must be a Weasley. Yes, your brothers were right. You're nothing but a fat, greedy blood traitor, with parents that can't even afford new
books and clothes for the ridiculous amount of children that they have. Your sister, Ginny, is it? If what your brothers say is true, she'll be a Slytherin before the end of her first day." Ron shook with anger at the girls words, and immediately pulled out his wand. Severus made his presence known at that moment, smirking at his sister, hearing every word she had said. "Ten points from Gryffindor, Mr Weasley, for drawing your wand, which is considered to be a threat. And ten more because she is my sister. Into class, all of you." The two houses filtered into the room and stood against the wall. "I will be assigning Potions partners for your first year of Hogwarts. Next year, you may pick your own."

"Now, on the first desk we shall have Theodore Nott and Seamus Finnigan. Next to them is Sally Smith and Dean Thomas. The next row we will have Daphne Greengrass and Parvati Patil, and then Hermione Riddle and Sophie Roper. Behind them shall be Pansy Parkinson and Lavender Brown, and Harrison Riddle and Neville Longbottom. Then we will have Draco Malfoy and Ronald Weasley, and then Skylar Riddle and Lily Moon. At the back will be Mia Malfoy and Blaise Zabini, and Millicent Bulstrode, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle. Sit down and open your textbooks to page 284 and collect the desired ingredients from the cupboard." Severus sat down and watched as the pairs groaned and argued over who would do what. He noticed that it was the Slytherin in each pair that collected the ingredients, most probably to complain about their pairs. Skye and Lily were talking as they concentrated on their potion. It was well known in Gryffindor that Lily's father was a Death Eater, and so the Slytherins trusted her. "I'm simply asking you to make the Gryffindors believe that you support the light, to make them trust you. If they trust you, they'll tell you everything. We've already got
Amy Runcorn spying in Hufflepuff, but we need someone in Gryffindor." Lily smirked. "I'd be happy to. Do you have anyone in Ravenclaw?" Skye sighed. "No, but I have a friend starting next year. She's definitely going to be in Ravenclaw, so she said she'll be my spy." The conversation was cut short when they heard Draco shouting. "God damn it, Weasel! I told you not to put that in yet!" Less than 5 seconds later, the cauldron exploded. "Five points from Gryffindor for not listening to your partner, Mr Weasley. And ten more points from Gryffindor for making a mess of the classroom. Detention tonight after dinner. Riddle's, wait after class please. Class dismissed."
