After the fiasco with the dementor the train got moving again and before long they had arrived at Hogwarts.

When they arrived in the castle they heard Professor McGonagall call out "Potter, Granger, Weasley, (L/n). With me please"

"Oh no they've found me." He muttered to the others. "You'll never take me alive!" He shouted out as he pulled out his wand.

Hermione scoffed and pushed (Y/n)'s arm down "Don't be such a prat." She told him.

Turned out that McGonagall just wanted to check in and make sure all of them were okay. As the four of them turned to leave she called Hermione back.

"Ooh looks like someone is in trouble Granger" (Y/n) teased. She pushed him lightly.

"You go on to the feast, I'm gonna wait for Hermione"

"You sure (Y/n)?" Harry asked him.

"Yeah of course mate, just make sure Ron doesn't choke" he said lowering his voice so o my harry could hear him. "The way he shovels food in, I'm always scared he'll end up choking."

"What was that all about 'Mione?" (Y/n) said surprising her as he left McGonagall's office.

"Come on (N/n) we'll have missed the sorting" she said avoiding his question and grabbing his hand.

The feast went by quickly and before he knew it (Y/n) was in the Gryffindor common room on the verge of sleep.

The next morning the four of them got their timetables for the upcoming term. (Y/n) was a bit upset to find that they had divination first, but was excited to see that they had their first care of magical creatures with Hagrid later in the day.

Professor Trelawney gave a little speech before the class started. (Y/n), like usual didn't pay attention. That is until he heard her calling his name.

"Huh what's that Professor?" (Y/n) said.

"I said you that you have a certain aura around you boy"

"Oh umm thank you?" (Y/n) said uncertainly.

"Do you happen to have any deer blood in your family?"

"No I don't think so Professor." He said to her. "If I didn't I would've know how boring this class would've been" he said quietly to Hermione, who smiled and struggled to keep from laughing.

That day they were reading tea leaves. They were working in partners and (Y/n) was with Hermione.

"Hmm okay okay" (Y/n) said studying the leaves closely, occasionally looking over to his book.

"Okay I've studied your leaves and I think that this part here" he said pointing to a large lump of leaves "means that you have just drunk tea. And this bit" he pointed to a smaller bit "means that you enjoyed said tea."

Strangely though (Y/n) could've sworn that Hermione's tea leaves looked a bit like an hourglass.

Hermione laughed and Trelawney glared at the two of them.

After a while, which (Y/n) and Hermione spent laughing and making fun of the subject, Trelawney let out a loud gasp and clutched her heart.

"My boy you have the grim!" She said staring into Harry's teacup.

"You sure Professor?" (Y/n) asked looking into the cup. "I mean this big part here looks a bit like a tree, and call me crazy but this little bit looks a bit like a broomstick"

Trelawney once again glared at (Y/n). "I think I have a bit more experience than you." She said matter of factly.

"Well why don't we just have Harry drink another cup of tea?" (Y/n) suggested. Harry then drunk another cup of tea and passed his cup to (Y/n).

"It is undoubtably the grim!" Trelawney said stumbling backwards into her chair.

"Come on Professor, if anything this bit looks like some kind of goblet, and this bit looks like an egg. There's no way it's a grim"

After saying this he got a few cold stares from around the room. "Oh come on just look at it. Harry you're gonna be fine" he said pushing the cup towards him.

After that they had transfiguration with McGonagall. She started off the lesson by talking about Animagi and even turned herself into a cat and back.

When this happened (Y/n) stood up and started clapping loudly. Unfortunately he was the only one, and it took him a couple of seconds to realize that everyone else in the room was staring at him. He stopped and slowly sat back down.

"Thank you Mr. (L/n). Now then what has gotten into all of you" (Y/n) opened his mouth to talk.

"Except you Mr. (L/n). Usually I get a better reaction than that."

"Please Professor. We've just had divinations and-" started one student.

McGonagall rolled her eyes "who's going to die this year" she said boredly as if she'd heard this many times.

"Me professor" Harry said raising his hand.

"I should've known" McGonagall Said "every year she predicts the death of one of her students. As to date none of them have died yet."

She stopped herself. "Not to speech ill of my colleagues but Divinations is by far the least precise branch of magic. True seers are rare to come by and Trelawney..."

She stopped herself again. "You seem in excellent health to me Potter."

After lunch they had their first care for magical creatures lesson. (Y/n) ran off ahead of the other.

When he realized they weren't behind him he ran back to them, grabbed Hermione's hand and pulled her along.

"Slow down (Y/n)!" She shouted at him.

"Come on 'Mione I wanna meet some magical creatures!" (Y/n) whined sounding a lot like a little kid. This made Hermione laugh.

"Come on got a real treat for ye today" Hagrid called once everyone got to his cabin.

"Come on gather round the fence 'ere" He called. "Now what ye want to do is open yer books-"

"And how do we do that?" Came Malfoy's snarl from behind them.

"Just strike the spine Sherlock" (Y/n) spat at him.

"Yer weren't able ta open yer books?" Hagrid asked surprise.

Turns out (Y/n) was the only one who had. "Well like (Y/n) 'ere said ye just got te strok the spine. I thought they were funny" Hagrid said uncertainly

"Oh yes really funny a book that tries to bite your hand off" Malfoy snarled.

"Too bad it didn't bite yours off Mouthy!" (Y/n) spat at him. "Not to late though" (Y/n) said threateningly.
