My first class is potions class with professor Snape - the head of Slytherin House - but he isn't in yet so I'm going to take the chance to get my stuff organised and look around the class room. Immediately I noticed all the strange substances inside bottles stacked high on many different shelves. I also took in the people around me and dicided to try and remember people's faces so I knew if they were in any of my other classes. However this thought quickly came short as I realised that there was about forty students in this one class and I couldn't possibly remember all of them in just an hour and a half.
Everyone is wearing the black robes that we had to buy with either a green, red, yellow or blue tie to represent the house they're in. My tie is yellow because that's the colour of Hufflepuff, I like it because it is the type of yellow thats not too bright but it's also not too mustard, and it doesn't clash with my brown-ginger hair either.
Looking around I can see about another 14 people with yellow ties but only 3 of them are girls. There is a girl with shoulder length hair and a pair of thin wire framed glasses, a girl with bright ginger hair and the girl I sat next to in the great hall who didn't talk to me at all during dinner, I mean she didn't even tell me her name, and there is a girl next to her in a blue. She is the only one I can see with a blue tie in this class, every one else is wearing red or green.
Looking round to the back of the class my eyes fall on a boy with a green tie - Slytherin - his hair is bleach blond, parting slightly on his forehead, hanging down just in front if his grey eyes. I can hear him bragging about something his father did and the Ministry of Magic to another couple of boys and a few girls. Then Professor Snape walked in and said
"Settle down Malfoy, I wouldn't want you to get any house points removed from Slytherin on the first day. Would you?" in a slow obnoxious manner that had this 'Malfoy' sitting down in a second with a brooding pout.
I decided straight away i didn't like this teacher, he seemed patronising and mean.
The boy next to me with the curly brown hair and blue eyes, Issac (who is wearing a red tie - Gryffindor) said that Snape is one of the harshest teachers and that he'd happily deduct points from his own house.
"He's also not scared of Malfoy or his father" Issac said
"Who's his father?" I asked obviously I am completely in the dark about anything magic.
"You don't know?" he seemed surprised
"I'm new" I said
"Oh um okay, sorry I didn't notice, I thought all schools knew about the drama of Mr Malfoy and the Ministry of Magic"
"No I um.. I'm new to magic, not just to this school" I replied nervously, yes I get I'm quiet but this boy didn't even notice I am new!!
"Oh okay" he said before going quite for a couple of seconds. He must have noticed the awkwardness too because he said slowly
"Do you, um, maybe need a tutor then, to help you catch up on the work you've missed?"
"Oh, yes please, that would be great -"
The end of my sentence is cut off when Professor Snape calls me and asks if I'm paying attention. Well he doesn't exactly call on me because i didn't notice it at first, he said
"And I find it highly offensive when people chose to not... Pay.... Attention! " and then he slams his hands on my desk making me jump and turn to him. He's staring at me intensly, I surveyed the room and found everyone looking at me. Great! Everyone except the boy with the bleach blond hair and his friend who were too caught up in whatever the blondy had to say.
Snape stood back up and asked me my name
"Raelin" I said timidly
"Last name?" was all he replied
"Forwards" I stated nervously as he seemed to be rattling his brain for any past connection to the name, I must have been right as the next thing he said was
"I've never heard such name, you must be the new girl"
"Yes" I half whisper, and I am glad to find that now people are losing interest and going back to either their text books or talking to their friends.
