I woke up to the sound of Lily's alarm clock. And those old ones. Not the new ones we have. It was eight and I took a quick shower and changed into my robes. I braided my hair and packed my book bag till the others finished.
"What do we have first?" Annabeth asked Lily.
"McGonagall will distribute the schedules at breakfast today, but Mondays usually start with potions," she answered. She had her hair loose. Well, half up half down to be specific.
"Is it hard?"
"No, only-"
"LILYFLOWER!" she was interrupted but James' loud voice. Lily rolled her eyes and kept talking. I turned around and saw James,Leo and Jason running up to us.
"What do you want Potter?" Lily asked James with an annoyed tone.
"I just wanted to say you look beautiful today!" He said with a wide grin.
"Well thank you, I know that. If you excuse me I want to talk in peace." She turned back to Annabeth.
"Hey,Leo, where's Percy?" I asked Leo who was sleepily rubbing his eyes and yawning. His hair was messed up as ever. Which was a little cute. NO SCRATCH THAT YOU DID NOT READ THAT!
"Remus and Frank stayed behind, trying to wake Percy and Sirius. Remus' alarm rang five times but those two are snoring like giants!" Leo threw up his hands. I have been living with Percy and Sally since forever. Of course I would know how hard and frustrating it is to wake up Percy. Since he is a son of Poseidon, water doesn't harm him in any way.
"Try putting ice next time. Right in his neck. That ought to wake him." I said.
Leo snorted,"Ice?"
"Yeah, I'm not kidding. It works everytime."
"It wasn't that hard to wake him up on the Argo II..." he said eyes narrowing trying to remember.
"Yeah, but there's a difference. On the Argo ll you could die any second, so he was sleeping lightly. But here, I heard there is no safer place in the world than Hogwarts!"
He laughed a small laugh.
We arrived at the Great Hall, it was still a bit empty so there was plenty of space and room for all on Gryffindor table.
I grabbed a piece of toast and spread it with peanut butter and jam. Oh how I ADORE IT!! (AN: sorry if u don't love PB with Jam. I just adore it. How can u not love it?)
McGonagall passed by our table and handed us all our schedules.
Student name: YN Jackson
1: Potions: Horace Slughorn
2:Potions: Horace Slughorn
3:Transfiguration : Minerva McGonagall
4: Lunch
5: Charms: Filius Flitwick
6: Mythology: YN Jackson, Leo Valdez, Piper McLean with 6th years.
7: Astronomy: Aurora Sinistra
"Ugh Astronomy... You have to stay up until midnight for that lesson," James whined. Lily just gave us weird looks. "Why does it say that you're the mythology professors?"
So Lily is going to be in my class. Great.
"Well, we go to this very special uh.. camp. We call it Camp Olympia, we learn a lot about mythology. It's cool," I tried to act as normal as possible, but with Lily's green eyes, it was almost impossible.
She shrugged and we finished breakfast early. Still no sign of Remus,Frank,Percy,Sirius or Peter. Strange. We decided to go to class since it will start in about 15 mins.
We walked the long, old designed corridors until we went down a few steps and waited in a darker hallway.
"What are we doing here?" I asked them.
"This is the potions classroom," Mary said,"They are always down here near the Slytherin dormitories."
I felt a chilly wind as we arrived in front of a thick wooden door. I already saw the rest waiting for us.
"Seaweed Brain! Finally awake!" Annabeth ran up to Percy in a warm hug. Percy still looked sleepy though. Remus was holding a book, reading in it. Lily walked up to Remus and they started discussing Potions.
"Next time you better wake up,Perce. 'Cause I told them about the ice in the neck trick." I said to annoy him. Hey, I was being a good sister!
He groaned,"You are so mean you know that?"
"I do. And I enjoy it,"
The wooden door swung open and we entered. The room was circular and everywhere were all kinds of bottles and vials with different colored liquids. The room also gave a dark aura to it.
We all sat down. I sat down next to Leo on one side and Piper on the other. The marauders were right in front of us.
"Good morning,students," Professor Slughorn said. He held up a small glass vial to us," Does anyone know what this is?"
Immediately, Lily's,Remus' and another boy's-with shoulder long greasy hair- hands shot up in the air.
Slughorn motioned to the greasy-haired boy.
"Liquid luck,"
"Yes, Mr.Snape, Liquid Luck. Or as others call it Felix Felicis," he said as he turned around. Liquid Luck? Why don't we have that?! It would've been way easier the last two years...
"Now, you can earn this vial of Liquid Luck," this caught our attention," The one to win it will have to make a perfect Living-Death potion. You will find it in your books page 10. You may begin."
...
One new thing I learned about myself? I am absolutely rubbish at Potions. After time was up, my hair was slightly burned at the ends. Well it wasn't a big damage, but I lost my hope for that vial.
The one to win the vial was Snape, the greasy haired boy. He didn't even bother smiling and hid back with the Slytherins. Oh did I forget to mention? We had Potions with the Slytherins.
After Potions, we headed to the Transfiguration classroom.
McGonagall wasn't there yet, so there was a lot of chatter in the room.
Suddenly, a gray cat jumped into the room.
"What's a cat doing here?" Percy asked.
The cat's body started moving and it turned to a standing Professor McGonagall. I opened my mouth in awe. The rest of the demigods were also looking at her in pure amazement.
Mary, who was sitting in front of me turned to me and said,"She does that with the first years. I guess since you are also new, she decided to show you."
"Good morning,class," McGonagall said. Everyone said a quiet goodmorning.
"Today we will be revising last year's classes. And I am glad to see a lot of you from last year."
She gave the marauders a quick look. Sirius and James shot each other a grin and Remus just rolled his eyes.
We revised a lot of stuff. It was easy, but my ADHD wasn't helping at all while concentrating. I kept dozing off or day dreaming or doing whatever. It was soon over and we headed for lunch.
"That wasn't hard," Jason said.
"Potions is going to be a nightmare for me," Leo said.
Sirius and James sped up in a sprint in front of us. They were followed by Percy and Leo.
...
Charms went by quickly, and now was the time for my class.
I took a deep breath and entered. They were students from all four houses. Which was good. I kinda have stage fright.
"Uhh good morning," Piper said. No response. Awkward.
"So can any of you please tell us where you left off last year?" I tried. Lily's hand shot up and she said," we left off at Gaea and Ouranos. To be more specific when they had the Titans. The last Titan we learned about was Kronos." I flinched at the names. Why did it have to be that?
Piper started explaining more about Kronos, since telling about it gave me horrible memories. Leo followed up on Gaea's and Kronos' plan to banish Ouranos. I noticed how he started stammering while telling the plan, so I was the one to explain it. Which was kind of easy. Ok, that was a lie. None of this is easy.
We finally finished and headed for dinner.
