Asheley was awoken by the other girls scrambling around trying to get their own robes indicating to her it was time to get up and get ready for school. After getting ready she grabbed her books and headed to her first class of the day, Potions with Professor Snape.

She walked through the halls passing many other students walking towards their own classes before she finally reached her own. Asheley walked into the classroom and looked around trying to decide on the perfect seat. She noticed many open seats which were quickly filling up as the more students entered the room.

'So its a separated room. One class on the right and  the other class on the left. And if i'm correct that other class is the Gryffindor class meaning we will be sharing the classes with them. Or at least this class.' Asheley thought to herself as she was still looking around the room.

As she was looking around still trying to find the perfect spot she noticed each table had a cauldron already on it. That's also when she notice Draco was sitting at a table with his two friends Crabbe and Goyle. She quickly decided to sit as far away from them as possible after their confrontation on the train. Then, thats when Asheley spotted it. The perfect seat, the only seat in the very back all alone meaning no one could bother here. With finally finding the perfect spot she quickly hurried over to it before anyone else could grab it. Upon sitting down she pulled out her potions book, pen and paper deciding to start studying through the book.

After minutes have passed Asheley got the strange feeling someone was standing behind her. When she looked up she noticed that someone was indeed standing behind her. It was the one and only Professor Snape himself looking a little more then just a little agitated.

"Miss Black, since you do not wish to pay attentation in my class maybe you would like to inform the class as to what ingredients you are missing from the Polyjuice Potion." Snape said in his normal monotone voice as he made a hand gesture towards the front of the class.

Asheley sighed as she stood up and walked towards the table in the front of the class which had three ingredients on it.

"Well, Professor Snap, as it looks you already have the hair of the person you which to clone. Which I would presume would be you own due to the fact of we aren't really making the potion but instead just going through the different potions. You also have the leeches, the horn of Bicorn, and the knotgrass. You would also need fluxweed, lacewing flies, and boomslang skin."

"I'm impressed. Fifty points to Slytherin." Snape said beginning to walk back towards the front of the class.

"Professor Snape, I wasn't finished. Due to the fact that if you wish for the potion to actually work and not go horribly wrong probably causing death, you must first make sure that your lacewing flies must be stewed for twenty-one days and your horn of bicorn is required to be crushed into powder form so it mixes in better with the other ingredients."

Asheley leaves Snape astonished at the front of the class before returning to her seat at the back of the classroom.

"Five more points for Syltherin for Miss Black's insufferable know-it-all." Snape said a little annoyed.

Just then Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter were escorted in by Professor McGonagall.

"Glad you two could join us Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter."

Draco looked back at them before saying something to Crabbe and Goyle causing them to laugh.

'Ugh, such ridiculous actions from a purebred wizard.' Asheley thought to herself referring to Draco.

After the class was finished Asheley packed her things and headed to the courtyard for flying lessons with Madam Hooch.

"Good morning, Class. Welcome to Flying 101. In this class you will learn to call your broom up, sit on it, and best and most important of all, flying it."

All the students lined up in two separate lines. Gryffindor on one side and Slytherin on the other.

"Okay, Class, I want you to put your left hand out and say the word "UP". It will bring your broom up into your hand with that simple command. Now on the count of three everyone begin. One, Two, Three." Then the madam blew the whistle she kept around her neck.

You begin hearing everyone saying "Up" as they try to get their brooms into their hands. Asheley and the boy from Gryfindor known as Harry got their brooms up on the first try. Draco got his up in his hand after a few tries. Then there was a Gryffindor student who got smacked in the face by his broom causing Draco, Crabbe and Goyle to start snickering.

Finally after all the kids got their brooms in their hands Madam Hooch taught them how to sit and fly on their brooms. We, tried that was, because class was cut short when the Gryffindor kid was unable to control his broom causing him to run into the wall of the school.

The rest of the classes went by like a blur. On Asheley's way back to the Common Room she spotted a girl from Gryffindor sitting with Harry and Ronald. A few minutes later she decided to go chat with them.

"Hello, aren't you Harry and Ronald?"

Ronald and Harry both looked up at her.

"Yes, we are." Harry said smiling.

"Well, I prefer Ron over Ronald." Ron said with a mouthful of food.

"Aren't you Ash? The girl who showed her knowledge in Potions?" The girl asked.

"Yes, I am. But my name is Asheley. As for you two. You might want to try being more on time when it comes to classes. Especially Potions." Asheley said sitting down.

"Finally someone who agrees with me! By the way my name is Hermione Granger." Hermione says with a big smile on her face.

Asheley smiles as they get lost in discussion about potions and testing their knowledge with different spells. After being in the great hall for what seemed like hours it was time to head to bed for the next day.

Once back in  her quarters, Asheley sees three letters on her bed with her owl right by them.

"Lyka, you're back. How was Aunt Bella?" She asks as she sits on the bed allowing her owl to hop on her shoulder.

Asheley looks through the letters and decides to open the one from her aunt first.

"Oh, Asheley, I'm so happy you made it safely. I hope you enjoy your time there like I did. I look so much forward to hearing all about your first day. Make lots of friends and never forget what Aunt Bella taught you. I do apologize for making this short though sweetie, but Auntie is very busy. Love you lots!"

Asheley smiled at her aunts letter as she opened another letter from one of her old friends. It wasn't until after reading her friend's letter that she noticed a very strange looking one. Asheley picked it up and opened it trying to figure out who it was from.

"Hello, Miss Black. If you have received this letter meet me at the edge of the forbidden forest at midnight."

Asheley looks at Lyka a little closer to make sure she wasn't hurt from when she got the letter and that's when she realized what time it was.

"Shit! Lyka stay in the nearby tree. I want to know who sent this." She said as she quickly changes into different clothes and grabs her cloak, Aunt Bellatrix gave her on her sixth birthday, before rushing out the door towards the forbidden forest.
