Chapter 8 - First week of Disaster

"At least one of the popular student would be worth teaching"

~~~~~

1st person's POV

Me and Hermione were on the way to our first class. Jake helped us and other first years to reach the class. Harry and Ron weren't at the breakfast, so i assumed they will be coming to the class directly. While walking I could feel Hundreds of eyes following me. I was bothered by it but i didn't showed it. I felt a small squeeze on my hand. I looked to my left, Hermione was comforting me. I smiled and walked to class. I took the front seat with Hermione.

"She is the professor, isn't she?" Hermione whispered looking at cat that was seating on the table.

"I think so too..." I whispered back. And within in few minutes other Gryffindors and Slytherins arrived and then we could see blackboard writing 'Copy the rules of Transfiguration from your books'  And we started writing.

To be honest, writing with quill was troublesome. I practiced it with Jake but I'm not getting any better. I looked over my right, Hermione was struggling as well. I smiled and looked at the door.

"Don't wait for them... they are fool enough to be late on first day" Hermione whispered

"Maybe but I'm worried...... and you know.. Writing with quill is harder then we expected, isn't it?" I whispered and she nodded smiling. just then we heard a loud bang

'finally'

We looked back and saw Harry and Ron running inside looking complete mess. I looked at Hermione and she rolled her eyes and continued writing

"Made it....Can you imagine the look on the old McGonagall's face if we were late?" Ron said to Harry panting  and right then the cat jumped and transformed into Professor. I heard Hermione gasp.

"That was bloody brilliant!!" Ron gasped trying to melt her butter

"Thank you for the assessment Mr. Weasley.. Perhaps it would be more useful if I transfigured Mr. Potter and yourself into  a pocket watch..that may one of you might on time." She said savagely as I bit my tongue to stop my chuckle

"We got lost" Harry said. I tried harder to stifled my laugh

"Then perhaps, a map?? I trust you don't need one to find your seats" She said and walked away and then I lost it and snickered  quietly. She heard me and looked at me. and to my surprise she smiled back at me and nodded her head to me. motioning to stop and I did. I looked behind me and saw Harry and Ron took seat right behind us

"Wrong day to over sleep, right?" I whispered sheepishly. They looked away not saying anything.

"Transfiguration is one of the most complex things you'll learn at Hogwarts. Look there" She said turning her table into a pig and turned it again into the table.

I was watching it in awe just like others. "But.. as you all are beginners.. you'll start with small things.....Today you will try to turn the matches into needles.. and the ones who will make a mess in my class, will never comeback again" She said strictly.

'that is rude'

She showed us how to transfigure it. As she did we all tried to copy her. There were many disappointed grunts coming in the class. everyone was trying. meanwhile I was just sitting there, wand in my hand but doing nothing.

"Any problem.. Ms. Kim?" I looked up and saw Professor McGonagall. I shook my head

"I was just--- just--" I stuttered not knowing what to say. Even I didn't knew why I was doing nothing. Just then, a small spark of light of light beside me. It was Hermione, she did it.

"Very well. Ms. Granger... I assume this all must be new for you Ms. Kim.. but you cannot learn unless you try.. take a deep breath and try again. keep trying ... if you make mistakes.. learn from them and try again.. just don't sit around my class doing nothing" She said and walked away.

'It was a weird way of comforting.. she was comforting me.. right?' I thought then closed my eyes and took a deep breath.  I opened my eyes and saw the match. I pointed my wand at it and

"Flintifors" I said and with a little spark the match turned into a needle.

"You did it... That is so good Y/n" Hermione smiled at me. I smiled and looked over at Professor. She smiled at me and then  turned to others.

Time skip next class

Our next class was potion.

"Most of the classes are with Slytherin... I don't like it all" Ron groaned beside me

we were now walking to our next class Potions now. I was little scared but The first class went good. surprisingly only Hermione and I could transfigure the match

"Don't say that Ron... They are a house of Hogwarts as well" I said walking

"You don't know how Slytherins are... You will soon find out" Ron said Entering the class

'Of course I know how Slytherins are...' I smiled and entered the class as well

"It is cold here" Hermione whimpered

"It really is" I said rubbing my hands

"Merlin no.... " Seamus said from front

"What happen... is there something wrong??" Harry asked

"The Professor assigned the seat for us.. We cannot sit with our friends" He explained

'that explains why Harry and Ron weren't beside eachother in that class'

"Well.. it is.. what it is" I said and went to find my seat. and to my surprise it was in front.. beside... Crabbe???

I groaned silently and took my seat. when the Slytherins arrived, Crabbe came finding his seat. He was about to sit but and hand stopped him.

"Let's exchange our seats.. shall we??" I heard

'That sounds familiar' I thought and looked at the person who was sitting beside me...

'Draco Malfoy????!!!!!!'

I tried my best not to widen my eyes. 'why does he want to sit next to me???. not that I don't want to... but... not when I want Harry's trust'

"I heard about you..... My father told me alot about you... Your Family is admirable.. it is a shame none of you got into Slytherin" Draco said to me out of nowhere

'Two of the Kim did' I thought

"I read that You are new to all this.... I can help you for learning" He said smirking. I was just looking at him in a confused way. 'Why in the hell muttering all this?'

I didn't want to answer him and luckily just in time.

BANG

"There will no foolish wand-waving or silly incantation in this class" He said walking at front and turned to us.....

"As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. however for those select few" He said and looked at............. me?

'wait.. no' I looked beside me saw Malfoy smirking at Snape. 'oh right.. favorite student'

"who possess 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 introduced scaring us slightly ..... I was enjoying it somehow

"Then again" He smirked...

'uh-oh' I gulped

"Maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts with abilities.. so formidable to feel confident enough .. to not pay attention"

"Mr. Potter" He came forward

"Our new celebrity....Tell me what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of  wormwood??"

Hermione raised her hand while Harry shook his head not knowing

"You don't know?? Now let's try again....Where Mr. Potter would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?" he asked

"I don't know sir" Harry shook his head while Hermione kept raising her hand higher then before

"Pity.." He said

'wait......what about the 3rd question?' I crossed my eyebrows

"Clearly, fame isn't everything.. is it Potter?" He said slightly glaring at him. I looked at Harry, He looked a little sad

"Ms. Kim!!!!" Professor said out loud making me flinch.

"Y-y-yes sir?" I stuttered

"how can we forget our newly arrived... Princess.. Kim" He said  while I gulped

'does he not like the Kims?'

"Can you tell me what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?" He asked me

"Uh.. um" I said

'Think Y/n think!!!!!!!!!'

"They are same" Draco whispered really quietly.. only I could hear him

"Uh... they are the same plant...which... also goes by the name of.... Aconite??" I said out loud

"are you answering me or.. asking me???" He asked

"A-answering you.. Professor" I said quickly

"You are correct.......as you should... looks like you got the brain of your mother... just like your brother.......Eventually... At least one of the popular student would be worth teaching " He said glaring Harry for a second and walked away to get something

"Why were you trying to help me?" I whispered to Draco

"I told you I wanted to help you learn magical things.. but it actually looks like you know many things....You knew the plants name" Malfoy whispered back

"I just guessed" I whispered

'I really did guess it.. maybe my obsession would help me alot here' I thought and looked back at Harry. He looked at me and smiled at me sadly and after that he looked at Malfoy and looked away. Just then Professor Snape came back

In our first class. Professor Snape only introduced and gave information of potions and ingredients. Which somehow I could understand. everything was going well except that Snape looked at Harry once in a while but covering it as he was glaring him.

.......

We had six classes a day. It was going well.. I was doing well.. thanks to the potion.

Not all classes were good. there was Herbology. Which just taught how to take care of different magical plants and all. but some of the parts of it were good.. some of them were boring

Then there was History of Magic. It was the most boring subject.In my school, I was the student who found few parts of History exciting. But it was all vanished now.

So far, there were few classes I liked. one of them was Charms. we did a new spell every class. Hermione and I were mostly likely to succeed in it.

And Surprisingly., Defense against Dark Arts was interesting too. Even if Professor Quirrell was bad, He taught us quite well.  He was good at teaching.

Before we knew, Friday came. We all were in the Great hall doing our homework. I was the only one who was eating apple. Thanks to Hermione most of my homework was done the same day we got it. I was bonding with Her as well as Harry and Ron. At first, if I used sarcasm they kept quite, but now they had started to talk back to me.. like friends.

I was sitting between Jake and Harry.

"You were right... that Potion is powerful.. I'm doing really well in my classes. If it continues like this. I might become one of the top students" I whispered eating

"Yes I know that... But guess what Uncle found.. The potion only works if you have magic in yourself.. The things you do in your class... it's not the potion.. It is you" Jake whispered back and took bite of the apple I was eating

"Eat your own" I said loudly shoving his head away and then

BOOM

It was Seamus.... Everyone was laughing. Jake passed him a cloth. And that's when we heard owl hooting

"Oh.. Mail's here!!" Ron said excitedly

Alot of Owls came and dropped the mails and gifts. we even saw Haru and Suri. they came to us and dropped the parcel.

"Chocolates??" Jake and I said in unison

"He sent us chocolates??? " I asked Jake

"he never sent these to me before... Blimey you are his favorite" He signed while I chuckled

"Hey look, Neville's got a Remembrall" Thomas said

"I've read about those... When the smoke turns red, it means you forgotten something" Hermione explained to us

"The only problem is, I can't remember what I've forgotten" Neville said while I just smiled eating chocolates

"Hey Y/n and Ron..." Harry called us. I looked and shared the chocolates with them. Ron took one quickly and Hermione smiled before taking one

"somebody broke into Gringotts. listen. 'Believed to be the work of Dark wizards or witches unknown.. Gringotts Goblins while acknowledge the breach but insists nothing was taken....The Vault in question, number 713, had been emptied earlier that same day..." Harry read out loud

"That's Odd" I said

"It is....  That's the vault Hagrid, Y/n and I went to" Harry said looking at me and others

Everyone was confused.. well I tried look like I was...

"So you went there huh??" Jake whispered.. no one could hear him except me

"Is this where the fun parts begins?" He asked

"The fun part started days ago" I smirked

Time skip

We were now standing outside with our temporary broomstick. And as how lucky I was... I was standing In front of Harry.. Next to Malfoy....

He was muttering to me about the broomstick he has... while I was completely ignoring him. I liked that he was trying to impress me.. I felt honored but my mind was somewhere else..

'Jake said the reason I'm good at my classes are because of me.... does that mean I have magic inside of me.... How?'

"Good afternoon, class"

"Good afternoon , Madam Hooch" We said in unison

"Good afternoon Amanda, Good Afternoon" She greeted us

"Welcome to first flying lesson....Well... what are you waiting for? Everyone step up to left side of your broomstick.. come on now hurry up.. Take your right hand up and say 'Up'"

Harry said 'up' and his broomstick flew to his hand. He smiled at Looked at me. I smiled back.

I took a deep breath and said "Up!" and then the broomstick flew to my hand. I chuckled and at the same time Malfoy got his broomstick as well . I looked at others, they were struggling. Hermione looked at me disbelief and tried again

"with feeling" Professor said

"Up!" Ron said getting  hit by his broomstick, I chuckled with Harry

"Shut up, you two" Ron complained

"Now, once you got hold of your broom, I want you to mount it" she said walking, we followed her instruction.

"And grip it tight.. You don't want to be sliding off the end...When I blow my whistle, I want each of you to kick off the ground, hard... keep your broom steady, hover for a moment.. then lean forward slightly and touch back down.....On my whistle.. 3, 2" She whistled

To be honest, I didn't do anything as she said why?? because when she whistled.. Neville's broom got out of control and he was flying everywhere. Professor kept trying to stop him

but he kept getting upper and flew not able to control his broom.

"come back down this instant" She yelled

"I don't think he can do that, Professor" I said to her and then Neville slammed against the wall over and over again, breaking his broomstick

"Yes.. Miss Kim.. you are right... MR. LONGBOTTOM!!!!!" she yelled taking out her wand but Neville came towards us in fulled speed. Harry and Ron both of them took my hand and dragged me back with them.

Neville kept screaming. But then his robes got stuck into a statue and fell down little by little and then he slammed on the ground. Professor ran to him "everyone out of the way!"

"That must've hurt" I winched

"Of course.. it would hurt" Hermione said to me

"oh..oh.. oh..Dear ... its a broken wrist.. poor boy..come on now, up you get" She pulled Neville up, I saw Malfoy taking his ball. I tapped Hermione's Hand. She looked at him as well

"Everyone, must keep your feet firmly on the ground..While I take Mr. Longbottom to the hospital wing.. Understand???I see a single broom in the air.. the one riding it will find themselves out the school.. before they can say Quidditch." She warned us and left

"Did you see his face???Maybe if the fat longbottom squeezed this..He'd have remembered to fall on his fat arse" Malfoy said making Slytherins laugh

"Give it here, Malfoy" Harry demanded him. I smirked lightly

"No, i think I'll leave it somewhere,for Longbottom to find" He said mounting on his broom and he flew away

"How about the roof??" He asked Harry flying

"What's the matter Potter???Bit beyond your reach?" He mocked Harry

Harry glared at him and was about to mount but Hermione interrupted him

"Harry, No way.. You heard what Madam Hooch said..Besides.. You don't know how to fly"

When she said that, Harry looked at me

I smirked "Go get him" He smirked back and went up.

"What. an. Idiot" Hermione said "And you.. why did you let him go?" she glared at me

"Look they are talking" I pointed to them. trying to get away

'I let him go.. because it will be good for him'

"Give it here, Malfoy!! or i'll knock you off your broom." Harry warned

"Is that so????? " He said, Harry tried to get him but he couldn't

"What about you Kim??? why don't you come up?? worried you'll fall??" He smirked at me

'Wasn't he trying to impress me earlier??' I was in disbelief..

"Don't you dare go Y/n.. Ignore him" Hermione pleaded me while Ron encouraged me to go

I felt a Violet spark in my mind and before I knew I was on my broom flying towards Harry and Malfoy

"What about now... Malfoy?" I smirked

"So you can play too???? Have it your way then" He said and threw the ball.

Harry and I went to the catch the ball.... we were flying really fast. I almost got hit by the wall but somehow I got away. I went faster then Harry and caught the ball and threw it to Harry, who also caught it just it time without bumping against the wall.

That's when I came back to my senses. I was on the broom....flying.. without experience. I was stunned. But Harry threw the ball back at me which I caught easily.

"Let's go back , Y/n" Harry smiled and flew down. as I followed him

When we got back on the ground. All the first years, except Slytherins. cheered for us and patted our back.

Hermione came and hugged me. "You could've hurt yourself" She yelled at me and Harry. But then

"Harry Potter!!!... Follow me" Professor McGonagall called for him making everyone stop

"Y/n Kim... why don't you follow us too??" She said as we followed her

While we were walking inside. Harry was worried that both of us will get expelled on our first week. But I knew that won't happen. So I let him rant alone.meanwhile I was in whole different thoughts

'how did this happen????? what was that Violet spark??? I have to talk to Jake about it'

My thoughts were broke when we heard Professor

"You two wait here" She told us and went forward

"Professor Quirrell, excuse me.... Could I borrow Wood for a moment?" She asked.

"yes. Of course"

When he approved a boy ,good looking boy came with Professor

'Damn, He looks good---- oh come on!!!! Why do I always forget I'm bloody 10'

"Potter, Kim... This is Oliver Wood..." She introduced us breaking my thoughts and she did Wood smiled awkwardly at us. we did the same

"Wood...I have found you a Seeker" she pointed her hand to Harry

"And A chaser" She pointed at me smiling

'eh????'

"But Professor... they are 1st years" Wood told her

"I know that very well...... But It will be fine.. I will talk to Madam Hooch and HeadMaster myself... I've seen these two... they will be great players for Quidditch team" She told him

"If you think so, then.... Welcome to the team.. You are Officially new Seeker" He looked at Harry and then at me "And The new Chaser of Gryffindor team" he smiled at us

"I AM A WHAT NOW?????????"
