"Miss Kattleburn, could you stay, I want to ask you something"- she said right before I departed the classroom.

"Okay Professor"

And with that I turned around and went on to stand in front of Professor McGonagall. She gave me a curious look and then she sat down behind her desk. She flicked her wand and a chair appeared on the opposite side of the desk.

"Please, take a seat Miss Kattleburn." - She said motioning to the chair she had produced.

I sat down and looked around the room nervously playing with hands in my lap.

"No need to be nervous my dear, I only wanted to have a little chat with you"- She said a bit amused by my worry.- "So, Miss Kattleburn, how are you settling in?"

"I'm settling fine, thank you. It's great and most of the teachers are amazing"- I said.

"Most of the teachers you say?"- She said a small smile playing across her lips.

"Well, I have talked to Snape on two occasions so far and I don't get what his deal is. Why is he so... emotionless?"- I asked, thinking that I maybe overstepped my boundaries as a student by asking that, but to my great surprise McGonagall didn't scold me, even more she laughed.

"You'll get used to it, he is who he is. Just wait to see him in class"- She said.- "I wanted to ask you, where did you learn that spell?"

"I learned it from the library at Beauxbatons"- I answered.

"The library? Why not in class"?- McGonagall asked.

"Do you really think Beauxbatons teaches anything other than dancing around and looking pretty?"-I asked.

The question was rhetorical so she didn't answer and just sent me on my way to my next class. The rest of the day went well. I had History of Magic and Divination. I have to admit Trelawney was bat shit crazy, but it was still an interesting class and she seems to be quite knowledgeable despite her 'mental issues'. I had just finished dinner and I knew it was time for me to go to the Dungeons and show Professor Snape just how skilful I am at Potion making. As I reached the Potions classroom I knocked twice.

"Come in"- Came the deep voice of Professor Snape from the other side. I opened the door and I saw that Snape had removed all the student desk except one on which I supposed I would be working.

I nervously stepped into the room and went to stand in the middle of it. I looked at Snape questioningly and at that he started giving me instructions.

"Miss Kattleburn, you are to brew a draft of the living dead. You have exactly an hour and a half to concoct this potion, and should you fail, you will be taken out of my potions classes for the rest of your time at Hogwarts."- After finishing he turned away to go sit behind his desk.

"WHAT?!"- I screamed- "You are going to stop my potions classes even before they have started?! You can't do that, that's my favourite subject"

"Then I guess you will have no problem with brewing it."- He simply said, and then turned his focus to some parchment in front of him.

I quickly started scurrying around and fumbling with all the ingredients I needed. It was something new to me, having to brew in a time stamp, or even brew in a school at all. The only thing we did in potions class at Beauxbatons was to just discuss all ways one could smuggle a love potion to a man.

After a lot of stirring and pouring, I was ready  with the potion. I was about to pour my potion into vials and leave , but Professor Snape stopped me and came to inspect the potion. He dropped a leaf in it, and in mere second it off. He looked a bit surprised at that, but just said:

" Your potions is adequate, you may continue being in the potions classroom, however if I see you, cheating in any way, i will see to it personally that you get expelled from this school. "- He said.

"Are you saying I cheated?"- I said outraged.

"Did you hear me say thouse exact words Miss Kattleburn?"- He asked, rasing his eyebrow.

"No, but you implied it didn't you?"- I said, raising my eyebrow too. 

"Miss Kattleburn, I suggest you go back to your dormitory before I give you detention"- He said threateningly.

"Oh no, what would I do if I got detention?"- I said sarcasm dripping from my voice.

"Listen here you little girl"- He said getting closer-"I will not tolerate some school girl opposing me, so LEAVE MY CLASSRROM"- He said and with that, he took out his wand, swished it and before I knew what was going on I was out of the door and the door closed right in my face. 

'So that's how it's gonna be huh? Well, bring it on'- I thought to myself and then went on my way to the dormitory.
