You're still my bestie

Chapter 2- The First Day

Harry's POV

"All right, settle down." Professor Snape said, strolling into the classroom, his ropes swishing behind him.

The class quickly quieted down.

We, Gryffindors, share Potions class with the Slytherins. That meant I was literally sitting two seats behind my twin.

The Professor wrote down a few things on the board.

"Welcome to Potions. I am Professor Snape. You shall address me as 'sir' or 'Professor.'" He said, turning back to the class.

"Today we'll be doing...." He trailed off. He was staring at somebody in a bewildered expression. I sat up a little.

It was Ilia.

She didn't seem to notice; she was writing down notes from the board, which were instructions.

Snape blinked and looked away and cleared his throat. "We'll be working on a basic potion-- Directions are on the board."

The class dispersed, getting supplies for the potion. Before I could do anything, Ron whispered to me, "Oi, why was Snape staring at your sister?"

I shrugged. I really didn't know.

After class I tried to catch my twin in the hallway.

"Hey, Ilia! Ilia!"

She turned to me, clutching her books. "What Harry? I need to get to Transfigeration!"

"Oh, I'll walk with you." I offered.

"Harry... I really should not be talking to you." She suddenly said.

"What?" I stared at her. Her brown eyes-- Dad's eyes-- glared at me.

"Harry, I'm a Slytherin. Professor Snape told us last night not to trust any of you... you Gryffindors. Harry, I know that we're twins-- that we should be in the same house, but--"

"Ilia! Come on!" A Slytherin girl shouted from down the hall.

"See you Harry..." Ilia spun around and sprinted to her friend.

I stood there.

I mean, I understood... but it was different.

"Harry... sorry man." Ron's voice said behind me.

I stormed off. I don't think I had that good off a day.
