Chương 21: Chapter 21- first day (part 1)

Daphne's pov

When Daphne woke up, her mind was filled with thoughts from the last night.

So much happened yesterday, she came to Hogwarts, found out the boy who lived has a secret twin brother and was told the reason why professor Snape was hated by 3/4 of the student population.

And yet the thing that made her worried the most is about the fact that she got sorted to Slytherin!

After all she wanted to be a Ravenclaw! No, she needed to be a Ravenclaw, where else can she learn enough to save her sister from her blood curse? But the hat wouldn't even listen to her, said that in Slytherin she would become great and maybe be able to save her sister. And now here she is, and after thinking about that, she understood the hat might be right, where else would she find smart people who are fine with stepping on the lines of law for what they want? For what is right? Ravenclaw might be for schoolers but the curse didn't have a known cure she needs innovators with ambition to change the world!

After thinking about it so much, she understood one thing, she can't do it alone. Hell, if she wanted to do it she would have to find the right people in Slytherin and make sure they work with her.

The first people she should choose from are from her year.

They were 10 in this year:

Her, Zabini, Davis,Parkinson, Bulstrode, Nott, Goyle, Crabbe, Malfoy and Potter. Out of them she couldn't think of Parkinson, Crabbe and Goyle doing anything so they were out.

She is good with potions, Zabini loves transfiguration, Nott knows almost every exotic thing their is, Bulstrode knows about the stars like no-one else and Davis has passion for charms.

The only two she really wasn't sure about were Malfoy and Potter, Malfoy was good with potions and had a lot of money, he even had a library at home with a lot of dark arts and curses but he is super bossy and she wasn't sure if she could have him join while keeping the others.

Potter was a quite boy, with a lot of interesting ideas (at least from their conversation last night) but she didn't know what he could bring to the group and she wasn't sure if she could wait until he catches up with them knowledge wise. She would have to think about those two more.

First class- Herbology

'It was the first class of the day and they would be filled with dirt, great'

Daphne thought while she managed to get a spot near Nott. After professor Sprout gave them instructions they began to work, just as they were finishing the assignment she managed to strike a deal, he would join her research group and she would help him get him a Mimbulus mimbletonia - what ever that may be, in addition, the group would help each other study so they would get at least EE. They also agreed to call each other by their first names.

Second class- DADA

As everywhere else was taken(and she would never sit next to a Gryffindore) she was forced to sit next to Goyle. If that wasn't a terrible thing, you would have to admit that the professor was terrible. He stuttered the entire class and by the time he finished a sentence, she didn't understood a thing he said. She knew she would have to study this subject on her own.

As an after thought at night she noticed Potter had quite the blank expression during class, if he keep that explanation up people would think he is an ice queen.

Third lesson- charms

This time she managed to sit next to Davis, it wasn't her taste of class as until the middle of October they would only talk about magical theory, but she knew the basics are important (her father told her that enough times when she asked to learn cool magic) the problem was that she already knew all of it, as have all the others pure bloods as they were taught magical theory since they were 5.

On the plus side, she managed to get an agreement from Davis to join her group with the EE deal and the fact that none of them was the leader. 'Well, that will make Getting Draco into the group hard' and why did Potter stayed after class to talk with professor Flitwick?

Well she got two out of the six she's thinking about on her first day, that's a start.
