Woke Up This Morning ~ Alabama 3 (three)
Chapter Four: Hogwarts Year One
The Malfoy family had always been known to support Pureblood ideals for generations. In public it was true that this is how they had to act. It had started when Lucius Malfoy's second great grandfather was forced by his father to believe in these ideals. He taught his family that they had to keep up this image in order to protect their family. From then on the Malfoy family had to keep this air of Pureblood nonsense up even when Tom Riddle aka Voldemort appeared and started his "Pureblood Campaign" scared that their family would be destroyed and having to keep up their images Lucius's father took his mark and made his son follow after him as well. The Malfoy family couldn't become neutral or choose the light side even if they really wanted to, officially they were trapped.
When the fall of Voldemort was reported and all of the light side, neutral and civilian people celebrated, some of the "Deatheaters" had to pretend that they were upset and disenchanted in what had occurred. Behind private doors later on that fateful night they cried tears of joy and relief. The Blacks, Malfoy's, Zabini's, Greengrass, and a few other choice families couldn't have been happier. They relaxed their standings and didn't really push that hard, no longer were their lives in danger. And it was all thanks to Jasmine Potter "the-girl-who-lived".
Draco Malfoy scrutinized the girl in front of him carefully. It would appear that she was a healthy and well taken care of eleven year old girl such as he was. Slowly he took a seat in front of the girl, still thankful for saving him from Pansy Parkinson. She looked recognizable in a way.
"Maybe we should start with introductions my name is Draco Malfoy. Pleasure to meet you." Draco said extending his hand. The girl set her book to the side and smiled, her face dimpling a little and her emerald eyes sparkling in amusement. She took his hand and shook it firmly.
"Hello, Draco. My name is Jasmine Potter, pleasure to make your acquaintance." She said warmly.
Draco schooled his face but on the inside he was gaping like a fish. "N-(ahem) Nice to meet you as well, Mss. Potter." Draco said almost stuttering. 'Smooth Draco. Nice first impression: running from a girl, looking unkempt, jumping into her compartment, hiding like an infant, and beseeching to be kept hidden. Geez'
Jasmine hid a smile as she watched his face flush a light pink of mortification 'Awwww' she thought. 'I should give the guy a break. Poor guy looked like he was running from some nightmarish creature.'
"You can call me Jasmine, Draco. You don't mind if I call you Draco do you?" she asked grinning.
"No it's alright, Jasmine. Thanks for your assistance earlier I appreciate it." Draco said smiling crookedly. Jasmine waved his comment away and decided that she wanted to further engage him in tête-à-tête; he seemed like a fastidious guy really.
"So Draco, are you looking forward to Hogwarts? What house do you wish to be in?" Jasmine said leaning back. Draco relaxed as well. He was just relieved that she still wanted to converse with him, he was glowing with happiness on the inside.
"Well, I am nervous, my parents said that Hogwarts was large and a great school. I want to be sorted into Slytherin but I wouldn't mind being in Ravenclaw. What about you?" He really wanted to know more about Jasmine Potter, and was hoping to be her friend.
"Well I am eager as well. It doesn't really matter what house I am sorted in but I do hope that I make a lot of friends no matter what house I get into. From what I interpret from my parent's journal is that each house is, theoretically, to be like families for each student were they take care of each other and all that. Just think, for the next seven years we are all going to be together working, learning and living side by side for nine months out of twelve. Learning different types of magic and maybe even creating out own. It sounds like so much fun." Jasmine declared animatedly smiling brightly.
Draco found him-self smiling as well nodding his head. "I know. The one thing I don't know is how they sort us. My parents said that it was a surprise. Mother said that it's a Hogwarts tradition for parents not to tell their children how they are sorted into their houses." Draco said exasperatedly. Jasmine chuckled a little.
"All my parents had written, along with Hogwarts: A History was that the sorting method is completely exclusive of Hogwarts and that you would not find it in any other school. I guess we will just have to wait." She said with a smile.
"By the way, I didn't get to say this earlier, but thank you for assisting me earlier. I didn't mean to be so rude or interrupt your reading." Draco said sheepishly. Jasmine again waved off his apology.
"Don't worry about it. I was just trying to get up to date on Wizarding Laws and Regulations. It is fascinating but very dry reading. Now do you have any brothers or sisters at Hogwarts?" Jasmine asked curiously.
"No, I am an only child, right now. My mother does want more children so she and my father are planning to try and have another child. I am looking forward to being an older brother though. I do know one of the Professors there, he is my Godfather. He is the Potions Master and Professor Severus Snape." Draco said. Jasmines eyes lit up in recognition.
"Your Professor Snape's Godson? I met him over summer. He took me to Diagon Alley to help me procure my things. He was very pleasant; though I get the feeling that he might be an austere teacher because brewing potions can be dangerous. I have to be honest though, I have been studying the theory behind magic and potions for a while now. I started brewing potions, since you really don't need a wand to do it, since I was for a year. When I was eight my Aunt and Uncle gave me my parents school trunks and some of their belongings so I immediately dived right in reading and studying what I could. I have only made potions for basic first aid though, because just because I know the theory doesn't mean I should just start brewing without proper training." She stated looking slightly embarrassed.
Draco though looked understanding. "That's sensible and explains how you know those spells that you placed on the door. I presume that you had practiced the movements and spells while you were studying? (At her nod he continued) So it's not that hard to figure that when you received your wand that you started practicing the practical portion. It is alright and comprehensible. Most of the families that live in the magical world allow their children to study and learn what they can before they obtain their wands. Of course since we reside in the magical world once the child receives the wand they are permitted to practice magic at home only in the magical society under their Parents Wards. I will be tutored by my parents next summer when I get home." Draco said. Jasmine nodded and explained what she had bought in the Alley so that she could practice at home as well. Draco nodded his approval at her judgment.
For the next hour they talked non-stop about the different types of magic, potions, muggle inventions (Draco was inquisitive and impressed at what Jasmine told him), Hogwarts, teachers, the Hogwarts founders and anything else that they could. After a while Jasmine absently removed the spells from the door therefore the lady with the cart would stop by their compartment. This also permitted for other students to visit them as well, so after an hour of conversation their compartment door slid open revealing a young Italian boy whose face was deadpanned but amusement sparkled in his dark brown eyes. He stared at Draco his mouth twitching faintly. In one hand was his trunk the other a holder that carried a petite black kitten.
"So this is where you have been hiding Drakey-Poo." The boy declared. Jasmine hid a smirk behind her hand as she watched the bi-play among the two boys. The other boy hadn't noticed her thus far. Draco flushed and looked offended.
"Blaise, may I ask why you are here. Tell me that you haven't brought "them"." He said in vexation
"No Pansy is back in the other compartment with Crab and Goyle mooning over her misplaced Drakey. Mind if I hide here as well? I cannot stand any further of that girl's whining." Blaise said with a sigh.
"Yes, come in before you let anymore pest in. By the way, Blaise let me introduce you to my new friend Jasmine." He said standing and helping with Blaise's trunk as he motioned to Jasmine.
Once situated Blaise turned his awareness to the young woman before him. The initial thing he noticed was that she was very beautiful. She had a small nose and high cheek bones. Emerald eyes that seemed to sparkle stared back at him in amusement. Long black hair neatly held in a pony tail, muggle garments and she was reading a Wizarding Law and Regulations book. Finally, Blaise noticed something significant.
"Ah, you're Jasmine Potter." Blaise said still deadpanned making Jasmine titter. Draco shook his head and sighed.
"He has been like this since we were just little kids. It is just best to be around him in small doses so you are not completely exasperated and aggravated in one day." Draco said dryly evading Blaise's swipe at his head. Jasmine chuckled once more.
They spent the next few hours getting acquainted with each other. Jasmine admitted that she had made a magical first aid kit for her relatives before she left and that she had been studying the theory behind magic since she was eight (to bring Blaise up to date). Blaise had a dry since of humor but his eyes tended to give away some of his emotions. Twenty minutes until they arrived at Hogwarts they separated to change into their uniforms.
Jasmine took a second to study her uniform which is kept unadorned until she is sorted into her new house. Black skirt, flat shoes, knee high girl stockings, white blouse, vest, tie and lastly her robes. She sighed, two minutes wearing it and she already missed her muggle attire. She joined Blaise and Draco in the compartment. Looking at their uniforms it was similar to the girls except pants instead of a skirt, knee high socks and dress shoes for the boys. The train slowed before stopping they had at last reached Hogwarts.
They exited the train together. Jasmine had to stable Blaise when an impolite crimson headed boy shoved him to the side. All first years followed the prefect's instructions and were soon meeting up with a giant of a man standing by a cluster of boats. "Alright this way first years. This way!" his voice boomed across the students surprising some. "These here boats will take ye ta the castle. Four to a boat. Four only." He said.
Draco steadied the boat and in a very chivalrous manner held out his hand to assist Jasmine into the boat. Jasmine thanked him and then laughed hard as Blaise took his hand as well and curtsied, giving his thanks before sitting. Blaise still kept his face impassive as he did which seemed to make it even more humorous for Jasmine. Draco took a seat behind Blaise as another boy joined them, greeting Draco and Blaise with familiarity. He introduced himself as Theodore Nott to Jasmine. The boats started moving across the rippling water headed toward their new home.
"Wow." Jasmine gasped out looking at the radiant castle before them. Draco, Theo, and Blaise seemed to be in agreement with her as they all stared in admiration. The Castle was colossal and seemed to never end. The castle's large towers appeared to scrape the evening sky as they stared transfixed. They followed after the giant man, who introduced himself as Hagrid, as he led them up and into the castle. The bearded giant knocked on the doors with his large fist, the knock echoed through the passageway. The first year students all stood in silence as they heard tapping coming toward the door. The door clanked as it was opened and a stern looking woman appeared before the group.
"Ah, here you go Professor. The first year!" Hagrid said merrily. The woman nodded looking the children over.
"Thank you, Hagrid. You may go now." She stated a hint of brogue accent beneath her words.
Hagrid nodded before leaving, though he did give a farewell wink to the nervous first years before he left. The woman, Professor, had pretty dark brown hair pulled back into a bun, glasses were perched on the bridge of her nose, she wore no makeup and she had wrinkles around her eyes and mouth. She seemed both young and old.
"Hello, Welcome to Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am Professor McGonagall. In a few minutes you will enter the great hall and will be sorted into one of the four school houses. The four houses to be sorted into are: Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin. The house that you will are sorted in will become your family for the next seven years. The houses are on a point base system, each student is responsible to bring points for their house. The house with the most points at the end of the year will win the House Cup. Each student will be a representative for their house, do remember that. Wait here for now, I will be back to get you in a few minutes." She said stiffly, before leaving.
"Wow." Jasmine whispered to the three other boys.
"Yea, no pressure or anything." Theodore Nott said sarcastically, making the others laugh.
"By the way Theo, I didn't get to introduce myself earlier. I am Jasmine Potter, pleasure to meet you." She said shaking his hand. Theo laughed amused. Theo had a somewhat childish face with light blue eyes and dirty blonde hair. (a/n: don't know if he does but this is my Theo so, nyahh)
Draco and Blaise looked amused as well. The boys spent a few minutes telling Jasmine how they knew each other. ("Boring Pureblood parties, and mandatory play dates." Draco said) however their conversation was interrupted.
"Well, Well Malfoy. Got your-self a girlfriend already, huh? How much did that Deatheater father of yours spend to buy her?" a sneering voice from the back. Jasmine stood rigid her face going hard as her eyes glowed with anger. Draco and Theo turned to the voice seething, while Blaise tried to calm Jasmine down.
Turning the boys saw that it was none other than a red headed boy who seemed to have grime on the side of his nose. It was no secret in the Wizarding world that the Weasley's and Malfoy families loathed each other, though even they had lost sight of why they were feuding.
"Another Weasley, ugh! Is your family drinking fertility potions by the gallon now?" Draco snapped back at the boy. Jasmine's lips twitched her eyes refocusing on Blaise's pretty brown eyes in amusement.
"That's rich coming from you Malfoy. Are your parents even living in the same house anymore? Or are your mother's legs permanently glued shut?" The Weasley boy sneered back. The other first years gasped. Draco's magic flared around him as he drew his wand at the other boy.
"Enough!" Jasmine said firmly wrapping her arm around Draco's shoulders her wand pointing at the red headed boy.
"So it's true then…did your father break her in for you Malfoy…" the red head abruptly found that he could no longer speak.
"You will get your voice back tomorrow…..maybe." Jasmine growled "And I am writing your parents about this lovely conversation. " She finished watching in contentment as the boy paled drastically. Jasmine steered the three boys away from the red head and further up the stairwell. Draco was shaking tears almost gathering in his eyes. Frustration, anger and embarrassment radiated from the boy along with a great deal of hurt. Hurt was probably because now everyone would judge him not for what he does or accomplishes but because of his father's past sins, no matter which house he is sorted into, confirmed if he does become a Slytherin.
Jasmine sighed as she looked at the other two boys as well. Their fists were clenched as well. Jasmine hummed to herself in thought for a moment.
"Look guys, no matter which house you guys go into, no matter what your families past sins were you should know that I am not going to judge you by that. The past is the past, we can't change it. But I think your parents have to be pretty awesome because you three are bloody brilliant." She said smiling her eyes twinkling in amusement.
Draco, Blaise and Theo all stared at her, the girl-who-lived, who wasn't judging them, wasn't making accusations, nor was she demanding to hear their whole family story. Jasmine Potter, the savior of the Wizarding world, was still going to be friends with the children of ex-Deatheaters.
"Thank you." Draco said quietly. Theo smiled and nodded his thanks as well. Blaise, deadpanned face and all, simply winked in appreciation.
"Ahhh!" came several screams at once. Looking up Jasmine and her friends saw what was causing the commotion. Before them gliding through the walls chatting to each other were ghosts. Jasmine gasped but the boys could see that she was more entertained then anything.
"Forgive and Forget is what I always say…" a Fryer said to another ghost.
"Hello, first years?" one asked.
"Hello, what are your names?" Jasmine asked curiously. All of the ghosts, and the first years as well, seemed to stare at her for a moment.
"Well I'll be! A first year that actually wants to talk to us." one said smiling brightly
"It would be rude not to greet you when you greeted us. My name is Jasmine, and you are?" she asked smiling
"I am Sir Nicholas!" Said the one smiling brightly, it seemed he had a large gash on his neck. Some had various injuries; one was completely covered in blood. One female, who was beautiful, smiled brightly at the first years.
"I am the Gray Lady." She said giving a curtsey.
"I am the Fat Fryer." He said excitedly.
The others started introducing themselves as well. Leaving the one covered in blood to be the last one. He stared at her for a moment before giving a bow. "I am the Bloody Baron." He stated before leaving. "Nice to meet you Baron!" she called after him.
"Alright all of you go on; it is time for the first years to be sorted." Professor McGonagall was back and was ready to sort them.
Every first year seemed to shake a little as she led them through the large doors. The first thing that Jasmine noticed was how beautiful the Great Hall was. Hogwarts: A History didn't do it justice. It was large dining hall with huge stained glass windows that seemed to move and glow. The ceiling was enchanted to look like the evening sky with light white clouds rolling by. Candles flickered and glowed gently. The dining tables were very long and were filled with older students that were gaping at the nervous first years. In front of them all stood the Professor McGonagall with a stool and hat waiting to sort them. Behind her was another large table filled with, apparently, their Professors and Headmaster. Jasmine smiled and laughed softly at the long bearded man in the middle whose blue eyes twinkled merrily. His robes where blue but had teddy bears dancing on them; he wore a large pointed matching hat and looked eerily familiar to father time.
There was Professor Snape looking annoyed at the nervous man in a turban that sat beside him. A diminutive looking man with glasses sat in between an empty seat and a woman with large glasses that looked like a bug. There was a young and pretty female teacher who was sitting by a warm looking older woman who looked like she had a plant growing out of the pocket of her dress. Several more teachers adorned the table each looking at the new children in curiosity.
Suddenly the hat, which had been sitting innocently on the stool, started singing:
Oh you may not think me pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm theHogwartsSorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong inGryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong inHufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patientHufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise oldRavenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps inSlytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!
Everyone that was seated started applauding at the end of the song, while the first years stared bemused. Professor McGonagall started reading off names in alphabetical order. The student would rush forward, place the hat on their head, and sit still talking or letting the hat look at their traits before shouting the name of their house. Most students were so excited to be sorted that they never noticed their ties, vest and robes changed. Their ties and vest had the colors of their house on them and the rooms had their houses crest on them, Jasmine thought it was very intriguing to watch. Neville Longbottom went to Gryffindor, Theodore Nott went to Slytherin, and Draco Malfoy went to Slytherin as well. The Patil twins were sorted one in Ravenclaw the other in Gryffindor.
"Potter, Jasmine" McGonagall called out. Taking a deep breath she walked forward toward the hat, ignoring the stares (even the teachers!) and hissing whispers. The last thing she saw was Ron Weasley looking extremely pale. 'I suppose he realized who he insulted.' She thought with an eye roll.
(Ah, Greetings Ms. Potter) a male voice said
(Hello, what is your name?) Jasmine asked curiously
(Well, you're the first to ask! Godric Gryffindor called my Gillian. But you Ms. Potter may call me Gill.) He said laughingly. Jasmine snickered in amusement.
(Well, Gill. Which house will help me on my path?) The young girl asked soberly after calming down.
(Hmmm, you are talented, gifted and oh! Your mind is very sharp. Your loyal to those you consider your friend, your protective and you have a great deal of determination to help others. My dear girl, there is one house that needs your help desperately.) The hat said somberly.
(Slytherin I take it?) She felt the hats nod (From what I have seen so far, they are judged too harshly, they are looked down upon simply for having cunning and ambition. It is sad how a few bad eggs have ruined that house. Surely the other founders wouldn't have let Salazar join them if he was evil?) Jasmine half stated and half questioned.
(Very perceptive, Ms Potter. Truth is Salazar was a wizard that came from muggle parents. They abused him when he was growing up for being; 'abnormal' they nearly killed him when his gift of talking to snakes had been discovered. Salazar was saved by Godric and became fast friends but that anger and bitterness grew as he saw other children treated the same way. That is how the idea for Hogwarts came about.) Gill stated softly. The hat felt a large wave of sympathy and sadness from the young girl.
(I have that ability as well you know. My family loves me and while shocked they understood. I think it would kill them if they had to raise a hand against me. Poor Salazar but I would be bitter too I suppose. Did he really become evil or was that a misinterpretation as well?) She asked ignoring the student's whispers getting louder.
(No, Ms. Potter, Slytherin wasn't evil. He was a depressed and angry young man but he wasn't evil. Eventually Helga Hufflepuff got the poor lad to open up. She helped heal his broken soul and heart. They were married you know. Parstletounge was considered evil because of snakes being considered the sign of evil or the devil so naturally anyone that could communicate with them must be in league with the devil himself. Helga and Salazar got married and had three boy heirs and four girls. Then one day Salazar was one his way home from spending the day collecting potion ingredients when he was attacked and stabbed through the back. Godric considered Salazar his brother so when word reached them, well; I still remember Godric's wails of sadness at the loss. Helga wasn't much better and Rowena considered Salazar her older brother. They had been so angry that Godric created the killing curse to execute the man that had killed Salazar.) Gill said. He loved chatting about history with hungry minds.
(How devastating.) Jasmine thought softly (Umm…anyways I believe everyone is impatient. Can we speak further later?) She asked sheepishly realizing that she had been here for a while now. Gill, just now realizing him-self, gave the mental equivalent of a blush before giving a nod.
(Right, well like I said the house could use all the help it can get. So since you agree it better be….) "SLYTHERIN!" he shouted startling the whole hall.
Jasmine stood and gave a small bow to the hat, ignoring the shocked students and staff. It took the hall a moment before they started clapping. Jasmine took a seat near Draco and across from Theodore Nott. After the shocked Professor McGonagall shook herself she continued calling names. Finally the last name of: Zabini, Blaise was called and thankfully declared a Slytherin.
The Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, stood applauding with the others as the students were all sorted and sitting. "Very nice." He said smiling benignly "Welcome first years and Welcome back everyone else. A few things before we begin: The Forbidden Forest is just that, Forbidden. The Forest is a dangerous place and I ask that none of you students wonder into it." He said staring almost balefully at two identical red heads.
"Caretaker Filch would like to remind students that there is no magic allowed in the corridors and that all items from Zonco's will be confiscated if found. The third corridor is off limits, unless you want to die a horrifying death." There were a few laughs but everyone seemed to take that seriously. The Slytherin's stared at each other with raised eyebrows. "Finally, let's start the feast! Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak." Dumbledore said smiling brightly. They noticed the Deputy Headmistress, Professor McGonagall, looked at him with annoyance but huffed.
Jasmine and the others watched in amazement as food appeared on the table. Mounds of delicious smelling foods piled before the students. Jasmine sighed 'Mom was right. It is one thing to read about it, it's another to actually see it.' She thought in amusement. She served herself some roasted duck, potatoes, some asparagus and a roll before digging in. It seemed that the Slytherins focused mainly on eating with polite dinner conversation than the Gryffindors, whom were talking quite loudly. She enjoyed her meal with her new friends with light conversation about new Wizarding items and learning more about Quidditch. The desserts were just as magnificent as the feast was. Tarts, cakes, pies, blocks of ice cream in every flavor you could think of, apple pies, treacle tarts, chocolate éclairs, jam doughnuts, trifle, strawberries, Jell-O, rice pudding and items that Jasmine had never seen or tasted. She munched on a fruit tart and treacle tart before deciding that she was officially stuffed.
"And now, before we go to bed, let us sing the school song! Everyone pick their favorite tune and off we go!" Headmaster Dumbledore cheered out.
Hogwarts,Hogwarts, Hoggy WartyHogwarts,
Teach us something, please,
Whether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot.
Jasmine couldn't sing because she was laughing too hard, going as far as having to clutch onto Draco to support herself. It wasn't the song but the fact that it seemed the Headmaster had cast an extra strong cheering charm on the teachers table.
"Ah, music. Truly the best magic of all. Now time for bed off you trot." He said smiling benignly.
Jasmine and the others stood to leave. "Does he think we are colts or something?" Theo asked making Jasmine snicker this time followed by Draco. Blaise on the other….
"Neigh…" he said face completely straight stomping his foot. This of course made Draco and Jasmine crack up even more as Theo shook his head.
They seemed to follow the prefects for a long walk down winding dim corridors. Soon they came to an odd looking segment of wall not far from a painting of a distinguished looking young man with long black hair tied back dressed formally and watched them all walk by. Jasmine paused by the painting staring intently at the man. "Salazar?" she asked softly. The man grinned and winked at her before she was dragged away by Draco, who had noticed she was no longer beside him. Jasmine smiled to herself ignoring the boys questioning looks. 'Huh' she thought amused.
The Prefect looked at the group of first years with a slight look of superiority on his face. "This is the entrance to the Slytherin common room. No one outside of our house is supposed to know about the entrance. The password for now is Pureblood." As the young man said it the wall moved and slid open looking similar to the entrance to Diagon Alley. The room was huge and decorated in the Slytherin colors with tapestries of different types hung here and there. The floor was marble but had large thick rugs near the sitting areas. A large fire was roaring in the fire place warming up the chilly dungeon. "It looks fantastic." Jasmine said out loud. This gained smiles from the prefects and nods from the other first years. Apparently the other older students had already retired for the evening as it was just the new students, though it seemed the first years looked ready for bed as well.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. Tommrow Professor Snape will want to talk to you and tell you a few rules, that will be before breakfast tommrow. Until then boys to the left girls to the right. Your names are on the doors. Each student in every year has their own rooms, so you have no need to worry about privacy or your items being rummaged through. Have a good night. I will see you in the morning." The boy said. He gave a small smile as the students walked to their rooms.
"Well, night guys. I will see you tomorrow morning." Jasmine said smiling tiredly. The boys nodded and said their "good nights" as well.
Jasmine made her way to her room which was situated nicely beside the girl that had been chasing after Draco on the train, Parkinson. She shook her head and went into her room closing the door behind her. The walls were painted with green and silver and had the banner of their house hanging on the wall. There was a large book shelf with some books already on it: Rules and Regulations of Hogwarts, Slytherin Truths and Lies, and a few others on how to deal with other houses behaviors toward Slytherins etc. There was a large desk and a comfy chair that would be good for homework or studying as well.
Jasmine gave a tired sigh before changing into her pajamas. She gave a quick mirror call to her family wishing them a good evening before going to sleep. She dreamed of dancing snakes being attacked by pink and blue rabbits. Tomorrow would be their first day at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Long time no see…well not really that long but oh well. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Working on the next one too. But Bachelors degree program just started but I will post when I can. Thanks for all of the alerts and reviews. I appreciate it!
