Cassiopeia Weasley

Chapter 4️⃣

It is morning at Hogwarts, Harry and Ron are running in the corridors, because they are late for Transfiguration class. In the class, a tabby cat is sitting on a desk. Harry and Ron rush in; Hermione rolls her eyes in annoyance because they're late for class.

Me and Draco sit "I bet you 4 galleons they are 5 minutes late and Harry makes them being late worse." Ok I bet they are 10 minutes late and Ron says something making it worse. Sure enough ten minutes later they show up. Part one of the best correct. "Whew, we made it. Can you imagine the look on old McGonagall's face if we were late?" Draco groans and puts the four galleons in my hand. "Pleasure doing business with you Draco Malfoy." We laugh quietly. The cat jumps off the desk and transforms into Professor McGonagall, on-screen for the first time. The two boys are amazed. "That was bloody brilliant." Ron says and I facepalm my brother is a complete idiot. "Thank you for that assessment, Mr. Weasley. Perhaps if I were to transfigure Mr. Potter and yourself into a pocketwatch, that way one of you might be on time. Ron your sister was here on time everyone was actually boys. "We got lost." "Hmm well then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats." Later on, inside Snape's potions classroom, the students are chattering, sitting near steaming cauldrons. The door slams open and Snape comes rushing in. I sit up straight along with Draco next to me. We smile ready for potion we've been waiting all day. "There will be no foolish wand waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to enjoy the subtle science and exact art that is potion making. However, for those select few..." he then looks at Draco and I, who smirk smile. My brother glaring at me but I am oblivious. "Who possess the predisposition, I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory and even put a stopper... in death." Draco raises his eyebrows. Snape sees Harry, writing what Snape said in his lecture down, in, his view, not paying attention. "Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confidant enough to not...pay...attention." Hermione nudges Harry, finally making him look up to the Professor. Snape then walks to where he can speak to Harry more properly. "Mr. Potter. Our...new...celebrity. Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Hermione and I raise our hands. Harry shrugs. "You don't know? Well, let's try again. Where, Mr. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?" Again Hermione and I hand raise again. "I don't know, sir."
"And what is the difference between monkshood and wolfbane?" "I don't know, sir." "Pity. Clearly, fame isn't everything..." Draco has a smirk on his face "is it, Mr. Potter?" Clearly, Hermione and Cassiopeia knows. Since it's a pity not to ask them."
Hermione looks a bit surprised as everyone laughs "Silence." he turns to Harry, looking a bit insulted; Harry seemingly gulps. Snape then walks over to his desk. To Hermione, who has still got her hand up. "And put her hand down, you silly girl." He sits in front of Harry, and leans towards him. "Cassiopeia why don't you answe the question since you know it. "Ok so if I remember correctly. Asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful, it is known as the Draught of Living Death. A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons. As for monkshood and wolfsbane, they are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite. Nodding indicates I answered correctly. "Why aren't you all copying this down?!" The students obey Snape and start to write down what Snape said. Snape returns to his desk, and dips his quill into some ink. And Gryffindors, note that five points, will be taken from your house... for your classmate's cheek. 10 will be awarded to Slytherin for answering the question correctly. Snape then starts writing; Hermione looks at Harry and then starts writing. Harry looks at Snape, who turns slightly and then continues writing
Suddenly, a flock of owls start coming into the hall from the rafters above.
I hear rom speaks "Ah. Mail's here!" It drops off a letter for Ron and one for me as well from them. The owls soar by, dropping parcels to students. Harry gets nothing. He sees the newspaper Ron had put down. I then started reading my letters I got from my family. Bill sent me a letter congratulating me on getting Slytherin. It read
To Cassiopeia
Congratulation on Slytherin always one you were the evil sibling. Kidding I know you are not evil. You've wanted to be in Slytherin for as long as I can remember. I know you'll do great things in Slytherin there is no better Weasley to be in Slytherin. Have you made any friends meet any boys. If so I'll beat them up if they hurt you. I've got dragons on my side they stand no chance. Love you hope your year is eventful.
From Charlie
To Char-char
Yeah I actually have made friends my best friend is actually Draco Malfoy. Yes as in Lucius Malfoy's son he's a cool friend. Love you too I just hope I don't die or almost die you never know what the possibilities of dying.
Love Cassi.
I then open my letter from Bill.
So I heard my favourite little sister (shh don't tell Ginny .) got Slytherin like she wanted to get for years now. You'll be the best Slytherin to ever exist right Cassi? Just wanted to write and say congratulations on getting Slytherin I am so proud of you always remember that Cassi. What is this I heard from mom about you friending none other than Draco Malfoy Lucius Malfoy's son?
Love Bill
To Bill
There is no need to worry Draco is actually really cool and I can already consider him a good friend a best friend actually despite last name we click real well although we don't see eye to eye. But we know we just have to be considerate because we were raised differently. Like he doesn't talk about blood traitor or mean insult when I'm around because he knows that I would feel uncomfortable if he did do that. He is actually really sweet and nice only to me. Love you too big bro, see you soon.
Love Cassiopeia
Finally the real letter I've been worried about since sorting.
To Cassi
I know how worried you are because of getting Slytherin; but that doesn't change anything you are still our daughter who we love. No house could ever change that. Listen I know it was scary but we are soo proud of you for getting the house you wanted. Cassi you'll show everyone Slytherin is not all evil house. Your dad, sister and I really couldn't be more proud. Also I heard you have become friends with Draco Malfoy. I think that's going to be good but difficult friendship. But your difference will make your friendship stronger. Plus it will probably do him some good having a good influence. We love you so much Cassi.
Love mom And dad
I look up seeing Neville got a package or something. Hey, look! Neville's got a Remembrall! I tell everyone basically.
"I've read about those. When the smoke turns red, it means you've forgotten something." I mumble of course she's read about it know it all. "The only problem is, I can't remember what I've forgotten." This causes us to laugh and walk towards him Draco grabbing it. Draco grabs it. I see Professor McGonagall walking over. I snatch it from him giving it back to Neville. It's not worth getting in trouble Draco hurry lets go. "What is the problem Neville?" "Nothing Professor McGonagall well anymore. Cassiopeia got it back from Draco so it's all good. I had dragged Draco away from them avoiding any problems. "I sometimes forget how lucky I am to have you." Well Draco someone needs to keep you out of trouble. "Good thing I have you them huh Cassia best friend." Here promise me no matter what mistakes we make Draco... we'll never turn our back on each other no matter how bad or how horrible the other persons choice was. Pinky promise Cassia aka always and forever. We pinky promise and we both didn't know how difficult it could be. But we would keep the promise no matter the consequences. Because we will always be each other's one true friend.
