quick note: this is NOT a chapter. also, this is also set in first-year, so it is an excerpt of the past. alex g is quoted in this, by the way. and yes, he still hated saksh. enjoy. ♥ '...something special about you girl, you make me wanna break up my world..." So, like, being in Slytherin is great and all... but, honestly, I'm like tired of everyone here. It's like, no offense to them... but they're like carbon copies of each other. The same 'oh, I hate Gryffindor!' attitude. And, like, competition and ambition. I might be losing my ambition, but... I think it's expected. It's literally, like, winter. Call it seasonal depression, but I think it's just annoyance. Maybe I should've been a Ravenclaw instead, huh? Anyway, I digress. This kid I grew up with, like, in Germany, apparently goes to Hogwarts. To be honest, my family is probably just friends with his because they're rich. My mum's bit of a leech, so, uh, yeah. He's talking to me, but I'm not really listening. I couldn't sleep last night, so I'm trying my best not to fall asleep in Potions. Of course, Snape would kill me if I did. Anyways, he keeps scowling at me so I think I messed up, or something. Oh, look at that, the cauldron is housing an explosion. I try not to laugh, "Oh, my goodness. Ach, nein... so sorry about that." There's this Hufflepuff boy who started laughing. He sat at our table, but he never really talked to us. I think he's supposed to be our partner in this assignment, but he's just been reading this magizoology book. "Mr. Roy, Mr. Delacroix and Mr. Fowler. Step out of class, AT THIS INSTANT," I roll my eyes as Snape says this, and we step out of class. We still haven't learnt, like any useful charms except for lumos and that stuff, so I can't even magic myself to look tidy. "Oh, my god. You're an incompetent fool," Saksh mutters to me on our way out. But I see Leo laughing, and it's what makes me happy. So, I laugh as well. Then professor comes out and glares at each of us. "20 points from both Slytherin AND Hufflepuff!" I wince at his horrid voice, and then he tells each of us to go and clean ourselves off at the restroom. Then, Snape leaves and it's just us three. Me and Leo burst out laughing, and Roy furrows his brows. He's such a prat for being mad at us. It was also his fault. "Let's go, c'mon," Saksh grumbles. We follow him to the washroom, but Leo starts to talk to me. "That was hilarious. Especially the look on Roy's face after that. He was fuming!" the Hufflepuff said, excited. "You know, I heard that," Saksh rolled his eyes. "Oh, all right, Sam. We get it!" I exclaim. Saksh starts laughing, commenting something about how stupid the nickname was. And, I guess it just stuck. ...maybe that's why I'm still eating lunch with these fools. ♥ Thanks to and for letting me feature their characters.
