Childhood Besties or more?

Chapter 5

       [  Hi guys this is the author, so sorry it took so long to post the next part but I will be posting more often now. This chapter and the next are some buildups but chapter 7 is exciting because we'll be traveling into 4th year :) so stay tuned.   ]

The next day I was woken up by Pansy yelling at me to get up. Apparently, we had slept in on our actual first day at Hogwarts.

¨Karina, WAKE UP!¨

¨Oh My God no we can be late¨

I rolled out of my bed and ran to the drawer where my clothes are. I threw on my Slytherin uniform and a skirt with some cute black flats. I went to wash my face in the bathroom, grabbed my school books, and ran out of our room with Pansy and Alena. Breakfast was going to be over in 20 minutes and the great hall was at least a 5-minute walk from the Slytherin common room. We speed-walked down the halls and into the hall. I ran up to the boys and sat down in the spot between Draco and Blaise.

¨Oh look who finally made it¨

¨Shut up Dray, and pass me the orange juice¨

¨So are you guys ready for our first class?¨

¨No, I don't need to see everyone fawning over St. Potter¨

We finished our breakfast in the 20 minutes that we had and started heading to Transfiguration. I don't know how but Crabbe had a map of the school so we knew exactly where all of our classes were. As we walked into the classroom most of the Gryffindors were still not there.

¨Sucks to suck¨

All of my friends laughed as we sat down at our desks. Me, Pansy, and Alena sat down in the third row from the front and the boys behind us. Professor McGonagall walked in 5 minutes before class with her cape trailing behind her.

¨I'm glad all of you are here already¨ she looked at two empty seats ¨Well at least most of you I expect you to be at least 5 minutes early to each class and so do all of your teachers. Today we will start off easy but we are going right into it so pay attention.¨

¨Pst, St.Potters missing¨ Draco leans over and whispers in my ear.

I smirk, knowing that he will already get in trouble for being late. McGonagall then transforms into a cat. The whole class stares at the tabby cat in front of us that used to be our professor.

¨Wicked¨ I whispered.

Just at that moment, two boys ran into the classroom making the most noise imaginable. I recognized the boys as the one Draco was talking to at the sorting, as Harry Potter and Ron Weasly.

¨Phew made it. Could you imagine the look on McGonagall's face if we were late?¨

McGonagall then transforms back into her human appearance. The boys look at her shocked and terrified. I hear the boys laughing quietly behind me and I couldn't help but smile.

¨That was bloody brilliant¨

¨Oh thank you for that assessment Mr. Weasly, Perhaps it would be more useful if I were to transfigure Mr.Potter and yourself into a pocket watch? That way one of you may be on time¨

¨We got lost¨

¨Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats.¨

They sat down and we continued our class by taking notes and reading. McGonagall let us out 10 minutes earlier which was a surprise to most of us. We scrambled out of the classroom and started walking to the dungeons. I noticed another Slytherin walking ahead of us so I went to introduce myself. He had dark brown hair, green eyes, and a sharp jawline.

¨Hi, I'm Karina Vritra. I saw you were in Slytherin as well so I thought I would introduce myself.¨

¨Theodore Nott¨ he said as he shook my hand

¨That was funny what happened at the beginning of class huh¨ I said smiling

¨Yeah it was hilarious to see Potter humiliated, maybe made his ego go down.¨

¨I can tell that we are going to be good friends Theodore, I'm gonna call you Theo cuz it's shorter. By the way, these are my friends¨ I pointed over to the gang and introduced them.

I had a feeling that we were gonna have a bigger clique by the end of the week already. We were walking down to Potions which sadly we had again with the Gryffindors.

¨I hope Potter's late again¨ Draco said

¨Me too, but they had like 25 minutes to get there this time.¨ Pansy said.

I was excited about potions because our professor was Snape, my family and Draco's knew Snape. He was sort of like an uncle to me. He never got married and lives by himself. He seems like a really mean guy but when you get to know him he is quite nice. We walked into the dark classroom, Snape wasn't there yet so we took our seats at the front of the class once again. This time all of the Gryffindors walked in mostly at the same time, including Weasley and Potter. When we were all seated Professor Snape stormed into the class with his huge black cape trailing behind him. I admire him for his pizazz.

¨There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class, as such I don't expect many of you to appreciate the certain science and exact art that is potion-making, however, for those select few¨ He looks over at me and Draco, while we smirk back at him. ¨who possesses 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.¨ He then looks over to Potter who is writing everything he is saying down and says ¨Then again some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of ability so formidable that you feel confident enough to Not Pay Attention.¨ A girl with poofy brown hair nudges Potter and he looks up at Snape. ¨Mr. Potter. Our new celebrity.¨ He then asks Potter multiple questions to which he doesn't know the answers to. The girl on his left does though because her hand flew up a foot every time he asked a question. I'm pretty sure that she was standing by the time he was done. ¨... Clearly, fame isn't everything, is it Mr. Potter?¨ And that is why he is my favorite professor. This was our last class before lunch so I was pretty ready to leave. It was pretty interesting though because we made an easy potion to start off, but we didn't have to take as many notes as Transfigurations which was good. When it was time to go I and Draco told the gang to save us some seats and we went to talk to Snape.

¨So Uncle Snape, how was your first day of teaching? It was totally funny how you embarrassed Potter too.¨

¨Karina what are you talking about, I just asked him some basic questions which every first-year wizard should know, but how was your first day of Hogwarts?¨

¨It was good so far, but Transfigurations was boring.¨

Draco agreed with me

¨Okay well you two better get to lunch, you don't want to miss that.¨

We both said bye to Snape and started walking over to the Great Hall. When we walked in and Pansy waved us over to the spots she saved for us. I was happy to see Theodore sitting with us as well this time. He also brought his two roommates. He introduced me and Draco to them.

¨Nice to meet the both of you, would you guys like to join us in doing homework in the common room after classes?¨

They both said yes. We may seem like trouble makers but actually, we all care greatly about our education, and I was planning to be one of the students that would end up at the top of our grade.
