Diverse - HARRY POTTER

Winston - 1

Year one

Thursday - 19th september - 8:04

I am quickly getting dressed as all the boys in my dormitory were gone, which leads me to believe I'm late. I didn't even check what time it was before sprinting down the stairs skipping two steps each time. Panting and standing at the end of the stairs I realised I mustn't be late as everyone is standing there.

It has already been two weeks and I still cant get over how beautiful the Slytherin common room is. The common room is a dungeon-like room with greenish lamps and chairs. This dungeon extends partway under the lake, giving the light in the room a green tinge. The common room has lots of low backed black and dark green button-tufted, leather sofas; skulls; and dark wood cupboards. The fire was already burning brightly.

Everyone is gathered closely around the notice board, why? I have no idea. I stalk my way over, but my short legs deceive me once again. I can't see anything over the crowd of bobbing heads. I weave my way up to the front, pushing anybody in my way to the side. Joined with me at the front is Malfoy.

FLYING LESSONS START THURSDAY; GRYFFINDOR AND SLYTHERIN : HUFFLEPUFF AND RAVENCLAW.

Thursday? That's today! I turn to Malfoy to share the excitement but he has his usual frown on him. "Don't like flying, Malfoy?" I smirked at him.

Malfoy scoffed "Not with the Gryffindors." I shrug, he's not going to ruin this for me. I am excited to show my flying skills off, not to brag or anything but I am an excellent flyer.

I walked down to breakfast with a new girl today. Pansy I believe her name is. She was actually rather nice and she shared the same excitement as I did. I took my usual seat at the Slytherin table, Pansy slipped herself in beside me. Crabbe wasn't going to be pleased, actually where is Crabbe?

"Malfoy where is Crabbe?" I ask as I grab a roll. No response. I look up to find he's not there either.

""Pansy where's Malfoy?" I turned to the brown haired girl, I don't know why I thought she would know.

"I'd tell you if I knew" she shrugged her shoulders and continued to place bacon on her plate.

Not even 10 seconds later, we were joined by an agitated Malfoy. "Stupid Potter, that fool Longbottom has got himself a rememberall." He was talking way too fast.

"So?" I shoved a bread roll into my mouth.

Draco scoffed and ignored me, "I can't wait for Potter to do flying lessons with us. It's going to be hilarious to watch his scrawny ass fall off his broom or better yet even try to fly. Serves him right really." Draco turned to look at the back of Harry's head.

"Never know might surprise us and be really good at flying." I shrugged my shoulders not really caring about what Draco thought. "My father always says flying comes naturally to some people they don't just learn it." Pansy nodded her head in agreement.

"Wixx if I didn't know any better I would think Potter is your girlfriend. Your either our friend or his you can't be both." Draco spat. I nodded at Dracos foolishness not in the mood to fight with him.

"Well Wixx, in case you didn't know Potter grew up with filthy muggles. Muggles means no flying. No flying means he's bad on a broom. Was that dimmed down enough for you?" Crabbe and Goyle laughed at Dracos silly remark.

Pansy and I rolled their eyes at the blonde boy. "Yes, Malfoy nearly forgot. Thankfully we have your brains to remind us."

He smiled as if I genuinely complimented him, practically patted him on the back in his eyes. If that's what he takes as a compliment, then I truly am worried for him.
