"You're late!" Snape sneered at us as we rushed trough the door red faced and breathing hard. "10 points from Gryffindor, each. Trixy I'm going to expect more from you soon because I will not allow this in two weeks."
"Yes sir." I said as most of the other students looked at me with confusion.
"Now take you seats and we will start class, hurry up! Now class after that interruption that took up much of your time and wasted mine." A few of the Slytherins snickered, which was returned with some glares by most of the Gryffindors. "Your exams this year will be more studying than you have had your whole life. I expect each of you to get an 'A' or 'EX'. Today we will be working on the Confusing Concoction. You will find all of you ingredients in the Student Storage. You will also find your instruction on the board and on page 96 of your book. Start now." Professor Snape glared at the students one last time before returning to his desk to do paper work.
I was seated right next to Grace and Fred. I waited until most of the students came back from the student cabinet before I got up to get my Ingredients. After what felt like hours with Snape roaming the desks and criticising students, mostly Gryffindors, my potion turned the exact shade of purple that it was suppose to be. Fred's ended up a light green. In fact I don't even think that he was making the same potion that everyone else was. Graces was purple too. Leah's was more of a dark pink. We all got our vials and put a sample of potion in it to be graded.
"Here you go, sir." Grace said as she handed her potion to Snape. He gave her a stiff nod in return. I on the other hand just put it on his desk, I have never been the type to kiss up to teachers because most have not deserved it. And the few that do do add up to those who don't.
I saw that Fred's potion in his vial was now a very light purple so I guess that switched it out with George. When we were cleaning at the end of class Professor Snape stood up and said something but I wasn't paying attention. "... by your next class." Ah well I guess that I need to get the info from Grace.
After we walked out from the classroom, we walked back up the dungeon corridor to the Great Hall."Can you believe the home work assignment Snape assigned us?" Fred muttered angrily to us.
"I know right! Twelve whole inches on the properties of the Confusing Concoction. At least he gave the Slytherins that assignment." pouted Angelina.
"I honestly still have no clue what your complaing about! My last Headmaster was about ten times worse." I exclaimed.
"Which one?" asked Leah.
"Karkaroff, at Durmstrange."
"I have heard some things about him. Is it true he can read minds?" George asks.
"Yeah though it takes lots of skill to notice it, and a ton more to block them out. Teachers here can do it too."
"Really, Trixy. Who?"
"Dumbledore and Snape both can. Only Snape can control it and search better than most."
"Oh ok, got it. We will see you guys latter." He and Fred went off to go meat Lee Jordan at the other end of the table. Me and the girls sat down at the table nearest the entry hall and ate. I didn't see any chicken noodle soup but I did see some Chocolate Frogs and took around twelve of those and half a sandwich."
The rest of the day went by quickly, Care of magical creatures was rather boring, as we were just looking at a pile of Flubber worms. That night in the common room I decided to write Sally.
Dear Sally,
Wow I sound formal. How are you? Hogwarts is OK, but they don't have any Chicken noodle soup!!! I made some friends. The Weasley twins, Angelina, Leah, and Grace, all girls in my year. Apparently I'm great for two houses Gryffindor and Slytherin. I'm not sure what scares me more the fact that there opposites or the fact that the girls I dorm with don't know yet. I can't wait for winter break. Wish me luck not to get expelled.
From Trixy.
After reading and re-reading the letter I deem it good enough to be sent to Sally, so I start heading out of the Portrait Hole to the Owlery. "Shush Fred, I hear someone coming and it might be a teacher."
"What do you mean might be? Where is the map?" I stop and listen as hear Fred's voice whisper behind one of the nearest tapestrys. 'Too easy.' I think as I grab some dungbombs out of my pocket and then sneak up behind them.
"I don't hear any one any more the cost should be clear." Clear? Sure......... In three, two, one, "Attack!" I chuck the dungbombs in there direction and step out of the line of fire just in time. I don't run though.
"Who did that?" I heard George growl?
"How should I know your the one who said that the coast was clear!" Fred retorted. Soon they came out of the tapestry.
"Hello guys! Anything new?" I ask in bettween breaths.
"Trixy?"
"That's my name don't ware it out!"
"You did that?" I nod.
"Sure did Fred."
"How did you hear us?" George asks.
"You were talking and I heard you with my advance hearing."
"She got us George. Someone got us!" They had a whole conversation with there eyes, It must be a weird family relations thing. So felling left out I walked on down to the Owerly about 15 meters away Fred and George realised I left them to their staring competition, and caught up to me.
"Hey where are you going."
"Owlery to send a letter to Sally. Do you guys want to come with?" I asked.
"Sure we would love to right Fred?"
"Right George. How long have you been pranking?"
"Ever since I was addopted. Just don't try to mess with me that could be bad. Never forget that, I was the best prankster at two different schools."
"Good to know, we will keep that in mind." George agreed, "Would you like to use our owl? He's better than the school's."
"Sure thanks George." I tied my letter to his leg and he took off towards Sally. Nothing happened on the walk back towards the common room. "Caput Draconis. Night boys." I went up to my dorm and crawled into my bed, the lights went out, right as my head hit the pillow.
