After the role was finished be called out by Professor Snape, Snape waved his wand across an obviously old chalkboard and quite detailed and in depth instructions appeared. "This is a very simple concotion to cure the common cold. All the ingrediants are at your seats. At the end you will seal them and next time you will test your concotion by drinking it. If it works you will turn blue for a second and then turn normal and you will be awarded with your first A. If it doesn't work then you will start to continuously vomit large cockroaches, and then you will be awarded your first F. Now get to work!" Snap sat at his desk and started to read some thick stacks of papers. Ryan and Lavender started on their potions. Ryan knew that he would like this class. "After the gruff's liver add a tablespoon of ordinary table salt, then stir and place over fire and let simmer until your potion turns a light aqua color. Seems easy enough." Ryan said to Lavender. They were both in a happy mood because theirs both were changing from a murky green color to a light aqua color. Ryan looked over to see how Josh, Kairi and Crystal were doing on their potion.
 
"You're not doing it right," said a Slytherin girl to Crystal with a smirk. "If it looks like mine,then it's fine. You aren't a good listener,are you?" Crystal stared at the girl's potion,which was the wrong color. "It says on the board that it's supposed to be a light aqua color." "No it doesn't!" she argued without even glancing at the board. She's annoying,isn't she? said Yazzie. Kind of she replied,and suddenly Yazzie had squirmed out of the scarf and was flying towards the girl. NO YAZZIE NO! thought Crystal,wondering what Yazzie was about to do.
 
Opening up his book, Jamie read over the instructions for the plant shrinking potion. "Er...ok..." He muttered to himself as he rubbed his head in confusion.

Guessing at what potions to use, Jamie closed his eyes and picked a few potion bottles, and slowly poured them in. The solution blew up, causeing a huge explosion at his table, the two girls beside him shrieked in horror and Jamie looked around for some kind of help.

"Mr. O'neal!" Snape hissed as he rushed over to the table to see what Jamie did wrong. "What did you do!?"

"I...um...was mixing potions together...like you said professor..." Jamie studdered looking at Snape's sour face.

The whole room busted out laughing at his explanation and Jamie's head become real flushed.

"Stupid boy...you're supposed to use the potions that the instructions say! They're clearly labeled on the bottles!" Snape said sturnly.

"30 points from Ravenclaw, and you get to serve a week of detention with me for ruining a perfectly good table." He snorted and then turned on his heels and walked back to his desk.

Putting his head in his hands, Jamie muttered to himself, "What am I going to do...? My first day and I already costed my house 30 points and I got a weeks worth of detention..." He felt as though he could cry, but held in the tears as he cleaned up the area, but himself. Nobody around him wanting to help him, since he seemed helpless and as if he couldn't do anything himself, ad they wanted nothing to do with him.

Feeling the tention around him, he just bent his head down, staring at the desk and the floor as he cleaned up the table.
 
Lavender, still stirring her potion, looked sympathetically at Jamie. Everyone was so unlucky to have a professor such as Snape for a teacher. Lavender heard some Slytherins beside her snickering and laughing, and she sighed hopelessly.
This is going to be a long 7 years... she thought, flipping the page in her potions book.
 
Ryan was smiling. His potion was a light aqua color. "Ok, what next. Add a twig of cedar and some ground up rosehips and boil without stiring or any other movement." Ryan did all this and continued to read. "If the potion was not bothered, the liquid will start to change from a light aqua color to a shiny silver with swirls of red." Snape was walking by, checking on how everyone was doing and giving rude remarks to all the Gryffindors, even if they were doing it right or not and passed by Ryan and Lavender's table. He smiled and applauded. "Now look here everyone! This is how you make a potion! 50 points for Slytherin!" Most of the Gryffindors grinded their teeth in anger, but were smart enough to keep their mouths shut.
 
Lavender hardly heard what Snape had just said, for she was still thinking about what a bad teacher he was. She honestly didnt think that they didnt deserve the 50 points, for a lot of the Slytherins potions beside her looked horrible and incomplete. Lavender looked back down at Jamie. She wanted to go help him clean up the mess, but she didnt want to get Snape mad.
 
Jos looked at Lavender.She had made an excellent potion. Yet he had to say that it wasn't fair that Snape should give her fifty points. He looked at his own. He made a potion a bit less perfect then Lavender's. Snape walked passed him and criticised.
"Bates!" he snapped. "What are you doing? Clear the stuff at once!"
'What?' I asked in my head. 'There was nothing wrong with that!'
 
Spilling the bucket of water on the floor, Jamie ran his hand down his face and was about to cry. But then sucked it up again. "Man...!" He said louder.

The whole room busted out with laughter and snape hissed, "Someone help Mr. O'neal since he can't seem to do it himself! 10 points from Ravenclaw!"

"That's 40 points in 5 minutes!" He sighed as he knelt down to clean the water off the floor.
 
At Snapes words, Lavender quickly stood up.
"I'd be more then happy to help him clean up professor," Lavender said coldy. She then walked down to Jamie and began to help him clean up, and she ignored the laughing of her fellow Slytherins.
"Are you alright?" Lavender whispered to Jamie once she reached him.
 
"Uhhh... I'll help too!" I said going over to the mess. Anything to get out of it. When Snape knew we were washing and he was out of ear shot I began talking to the two. "I'm Josh!"
 
I came into the DADA class late, as expected. I was breathing heavily from my run and apologized to the Professor, panting "Sorry I'm late, sir...Over...slept." I filed into an empty seat and gave a small salute to Eric, sitting three rows behind me.
 
Crystal felt sorry for Jamie. She wanted to help him clean up,but she couldn't at the moment. She was too busy with Yazzie. What are you doing???? she thought to Yazzie. This girl is being mean! The least I can do is scare her a bit. Yazzie was only five inches tall,but he certainly was brave. Still,Crystal didn't want him to get into trouble.Before Crystal could stop the little bat,he sqeaked loudly,flapped his wings and bared his fangs at the girl. Suddenly all eyes were focused on him and Crystal,including Snape's,and she felt like she was back at the Sorting Ceremony..
 
After listening to Snape's directions, Kairi quickly did as she was told to do, not because she wanted to, but because she was afraid he would take more points off Gryffindor. As she was mixing her potion, she slightly grinned, it was color aqua, not the light aqua he wanted, but still close enough. No 'F' for her, maybe a 'B' or a 'C' but not an 'F', and that was good enough for her.

"Someone help Mr. O?Neal since he can't seem to do it himself! 10 points from Ravenclaw!"

Hearing Snape's words, she hurriedly hopped off her seat and was about to run towards him, but some Slytherins seating around her blocked her way.

"Where do you think are you going?" Asked the seemingly eldest Slytherin.

"I'm going to help Jamie, Professor Snape said anyone can." Kairi said in a kind of mocking tone.

"Well, I'm sorry," He said sarcastically. "But Professor Snape told us to 'take care of you'...Now sit!"

Kairi grinded her teeth and glared at them, she wanted to push them aside but knew better. "Anything you say, sir." She said, her tone still in a sardonic way, as she rolled her eyes.
 
"Right now I'm not fine..." He answered the girl who came to his aid. "My name's Jamie O'neal, if you didn't know that already. What's your name?"

"Nice to meet you Josh." He said at a whisper. "I guess you already know my name."

Jamie's eyes narrowed as his eyes shot over to the slytherins harrassing Crystal. He felt like going over there and telling them what was what. But being that he already lost 40 points for his house, and he wasn't in the best situation himself. He just held back and looked down at the floor again as he cleaned the water from the floor.

OOC:Oh I guess if you couldn't tell from the train scene, with Jamie in the runaway cart. He's like kenshin Hemora (Dang can never spell his last name) when he or his friends is not in danger, he's a cluts. But when they are he's ready to fight...and win. Sorry couldn't help but model my character off of him! ^^
 
"My name is Lavender Smith. Its a pleasure to meet you two..." Lavender to whispered to Jamie and Josh. She then looked at her watch to see that class would be over in a matter of minutes. "Class is almost over..." Lavender whispered to the boys. "We better hurry..."
 
"Ahh!! Proffesor,she sicked a bat on me!! She wants to kill me or something!!" yelled the girl,startling tiny Yazzie and causing him to fall to the floor. Snape gave Crystal a cold,hard stare. "Crystal Damion! Report to Proffesor Dumbledore's office! Fifteen points from Gryffindor!" And Crystal snatched Yazzie and her things,since class was almost over,and walked out of the dungeon,accidentally slamming the door in her anger. What if all of the teachers and students are like that here? she worried,wondering where Dumbledore's office was.
 
My DADA class was quite boring, all stuff I'd read about by age six. How to identify a Dark Wizard, Nonviolent solutions. All of it waas a load of tosh that I knew. It took a colossal effort not to pass out right there in the middle of class. Maybe I could look around for a club devoted to this kind of stuff. If non existed, well, I was sure it wouldn't be too hard to found one.
 
Crystal didn't know where to go. She was just wandering,until she stumbled into a room that she had never seen before. The whole room was filled with a map of Hogwarts,as if it was there just to help Crystal. Dumbledore's office was just one floor higher. Crystal started walking up the staircase to Dumbledore's office when it began to move! Thinking fast,Crystal jumped to the other staircase and was barely managing to hold onto the railing. Panting,she hauled herself up and finally reached the office.
