Stay With Me: Hogwarts Rewritten

Part 21

So today is the first day of classes. I was so excited to get back, but at the same time I was confused. Already something strange has happened, what with someone preventing me from going through the platform. Last year "You Know Who" was trying to kill me, and now? I just wanted a nice normal year.

Once I finished putting on my uniform I grabbed my bag and went down to the common room. Hermione was, as always, waiting for me.

"Morning Harry"

"Good Morning mione. You ready to go to classes?" I asked her

"Of course" She said excitedly before grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the common room

As we were walking, I felt Hermione grip my hand even tighter. I looked in front of me only to see Ron, Draco, Crab, and Goyle.

"Ignore them. They are just jealous of you, as they should be" I whispered in her ear

She let go of my hand a wrapped her arm around mine pulling me closer. She did that whenever she was nervous. We walked past them ignoring whatever looks they were giving us.

"Hey Potter! See you on the field!" I heard Draco yell behind me

What does that mean? But I didn't bother turning around. Hermione pulled me to the great hall and we took our seats near Dean and Seamus.

We ate in mostly silence, only talking a little. We were both excited and wanted to get to class. After we finished. I locked arms her and we went to DADA class with Professor Lockhart. We immediately took our seats in front in got our books out. Books all about him and only him. This guy was so conceited and fake.

The rest of our class filled up quickly with other Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Slytherin students. It wasn't long before we heard the door open.

"Hello everyone. Allow me to introduce you to your new defense teacher. Glideroy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, but most importantly witch weekly's most charming smile" He says laughing to himself

This class has to be a joke. I looked around my class to see a few girls blushing, especially Hermione. The guys on the other hand looked confused. He acted like most charming smile was a big deal.

"I know being in the same room as me must feel strange, but I'm not the only celebrity here, Harry Potter. It seems we must share the admiration of the class" He says pointing to me

Why did he have to bring me into this? I could see most of the Slytherins glaring at me after he said that. Couldn't this class just end now.

"Now back to class. It is my job to help you protect yourselves from the dark arts, some creatures who our the most foul. Brace yourself for what's in this cage" He says grabbing his wand and walking over to the cage

I wonder what it was going to be? Maybe a dragon like Hagrid had last year. Nothing that terrifying could fit in that small cage. As he was about to lift the tarp, I felt Hermione grab my hand underneath the table. She was nervous.

He then lifted the red tarp off the cage, only to show a bunch of Cornish pixies.

"Cornish Pixies? I thought you said they were foul creatures?" Hermione asked raising her hand, I couldn't help but laugh along with the rest of the class

"Pixies? Yeah this will be a real challenge" Ron says loudly

Without warning he opened the cage and all the pixies flew out. A loud screeching sound could be heard as they started to surround us. They must of gone mad because they we biting people and attacking people. The class was running around trying to get away from them. I suddenly saw Neville being pulled by his ears to the ceiling. Most of the students ran out of the classroom. Lockhart tried to get rid of them, but he got too scared and ran away.

I grabbed a book and smacked one away from Hermione. Finally I saw Hermione lift her wand and shout a spell.

"Immobulus!" Hermione shouted, all the pixies then froze and fell to the ground

Neville then fell to the ground as well. I ran over to him to make sure he was okay.

"Are you alright mate?" I asked him helping him up

"Yeah I'm fine. Good job Hermione"

"Thanks. Some coward he is. Master spell caster? Oh please, it seems even Ron has more skill than him. Why did I like him?" She says to both of us

"It's alright Hermione. I guess class is over then?" I asked looking around at the empty classroom

We grabbed our stuff and walked out of the class.

Later....

The day went on better, and classes were over before I knew it. Now it was quidditch practice and Hermione was tagging along to watch.

I went to the locker room and changed into my uniform before grabbing my broom. I walked out with the rest of the team as Oliver was telling us how practice was going to be. What no one expected was another team to be practicing on the field. Slytherin.

"We need to practice. Get lost" Oliver tells them

"Snape says we need to practice so we can train our new seeker" The Slytherin captain says handing a scroll off the Oliver

I then see Draco come step on front of me. That's what he meant. The wasn't the only shocking thing, but each Slytherin player got a new broom. How could they afford those?

"Nimbus 2001? How did you get those" Hermione asked suddenly coming up next to me

"A gift from Draco's father. He thought we needed the best"

"So that's how you made your way onto the team, your daddy bought your way on. To think you had actual talent. Unlike the Gryffindor team, no one had to buy their way on" Hermione says laughing

The rest of the team was laughing as well. That was until Draco started walking closer to her

"No one asked you, you stupid little mudblood" Draco says to her smiling

No said anything after that. Most were probably in shock from him using that type of language. I grabbed Hermione and pulled her to my chest.

"Tomorrow we will practice. Team let's go back and change" Oliver says before we all made our way back to the locker room to change

"Hermione. We're sorry. We will take care of Draco for you. I don't think he will act this way when he realizes his head is shaved off tomorrow morning" George says before he and Fred take off with the rest of the team

"I'm so sorry Mione" I told her hugging her once again

"I'll be alright. I guess this is how it will be. But it doesn't matter. Fred and George will do something funny to him and then I'll feel much better. Come one, you need to change and then we can do our transfiguration essay" She says pulling my arm

I then started thinking of something we read last night. Hermione was looking at different legends about Hogwarts and we came upon something intresting.

"So remember last night when we were reading that book from the library. It was talking about something called the chamber of secrets. What do you think that's about?" I asked her

"I don't know. Maybe we should ask professed Mcgonagall about it? She is probably the smartest teacher in this school. She must have the answers. I can ask her tomorrow in class"

I went straight to the locker room and changed before meeting back up with Hermione in the common room. To say it was a intresting first day of school, would be an understatement. I couldn't wait to see what tomorrow would bring.
