Emma Longbottom

Chapter 7

Sorry guys I lied. I meant to update a couple weeks ago but I got so caught up in school projects and homework.

I wake up to the shining sun glaring in my eyes and a very loud Hermione yelling at me to get up. I look over at my alarm clock and see that it is 5:30 in the morning.

"Hermione it is 5:30 in the morning! School doesn't start for another 3 hours."

"I know but the timetables are going to be handed out and I need to study for the first two periods." she tells me looking dead serious.

"Fine but I'm going back to bed! I tell her.

"No I need help!" She whines.

"Fine!!!!!!,!!" I moan.

We quickly get dressed into our robes and go down to the great hall to have breakfast. When we get there I see that we are the only ones there. Not even any of the professors were there. All there was was these dwarf like creatures who were cleaning up the place. We sit down at our table and Hermione pulls out all her books. OMG! She must be kidding. I put my head on the table and fall asleep. I had the weirdest dream though. Hermione and i had been abducted by the dwarf creatures (who Hermione told me were house elves). Thankfully I woke just as the scary part was over so I didn't need to see anymore of that freaky dream. Other students were beginning to come in aswell as Prefect Percy Weasley, Ron's older brother. Ron thinks he's annoying.

"Good to see two young Gryffondors all ready studying for classes."

"Thank you Percy."

Hermione goes back to studying while Percy comes around and sits across to us. I resume my spot from before and put my head on the table. Then the food comes. Pancakes of any sort. Waffles with whipped cream. Fruit salad. I feel like I'm royalty. I grab a plate and I start filling up my plate with waffles and bacon. Then Hermione and I talk. Well mostly she talks and I listen. Finally the time tables are handed out and I get mine and start looking at our first subjects. Ugh! Double potions with Slytherin, then history of magic. Worst schedule ever! And on a Monday! Worst day ever. I finish eating my breakfast then go get my books for the first two periods.

When we enter the classroom I immediately realize that Ron and Harry are sitting in the back of the classroom as far away from the Slytherins as possible. I quickly direct Hermione over there and we sit down. Directly when class is supposed to start Professor Snape comes in. He tells us to get out our books and things and put them on the table. Then he tells about the classroom rules and expectations. Same as every year back at home. Snape snaps at Harry Potter which brings me back to reality immediately. The professor is really scary. I am never going to do anything bad around him. I go back into reality again just in time to hear Harry got into trouble and lost us ten points. Geez! He is so tough! When he finally dismisses us and we all rush away.

"Omg Harry! How do you stand being around him with out getting scared never mind getting in trouble."

"Oh that. It was nothing. My dad and him were never friends with each other. I've met him before when me and my dad played tricks on him." he explains.

That explained the evil and loathing look in Snapes' eye.

After potions I didn't really pay attention to the rest of the classes. They weren't really interesting for me but Hermione seemed to find them all really interesting. That girl must live of school. Later that day when we returned to the dorms we sat down at the dormitory tables and started on our homework. There was so much of it. And it was only the first day. Imagine what it will be like for the rest of the year.

Sorry its such a short chapter.
