The Cursed One

Quick Thinking

Hermione woke me up extra early saying we have to study for our first transfiguration class.
I mean...study what?
She took out her transfiguration book and started reading it. So I took out mine and stared into it.
I thought of myself capturing a dragon...how Cool would that be...
Or maybe I can become a professional quidditch player..I have read enough of Draco's books to become one..
You Know..I never get bored because of my very colourful imagination.
Then I was pulled out of my thoughts by Hermione saying it was time to get dressed to go to class.
I showered quickly and got dressed in Gryffindor robes.
My hair was not listening to me today..it doesn't listen to me any day but still.. so I pulled it into a messy bun on the top of my head.
My hair was so uselessly thick that the bun I pulled was the same size as my head.
WTF? So I turned it into a ponytail.
It was okay.
So me and Hermione walked together to transfiguration class together and guess what? We were the first ones to arrive.
Whatever..
I took a seat beside Hermione in the front row. Typical her.
The students started filing in and the class began.
I'm sure nobody else noticed but Harry was missing.
Ron too.
What are the doing on their first day?
Then suddenly I heard the door opening and two kids ran in.
"Imagine how Proffessor McGonaggal's face would look if she knew we were late?" Said Ron.
That idiot did not know that Proffessor McGonaggal was sitting on her desk in the form of a cat.
Then she turned into her original form after jumping to the ground in front of them.
"That was bloody brilliant!" Said Ron.
"Oh thank you for that assessment Mr Weasley,perhaps it would be more useful if I were to transform Mr Potter and you into a pocket watch..that way one of you might be on time.."
I couldn't help but snort.
Harry's eyes flickered to me.
"We-we got lost" he said.
"Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats."
Professor McGonaggal was savage.
Then after the class finished, we went for potions.
It gloomy and dark.
Reminded me of Malfoy Manor.
I sat down and Hermione was scribbling away as I sat near her.
Then I felt someone sit near me I turned to see it was Harry.
Ok..that's new.
Suddenly the door banged open and all I saw entering was a flying cloak.
Then I realized there was a man who was making the cloak fly.
He started talking about a bunch of rules and suddenly be started roasting Harry.
He bunch of questions and for some strange reason I knew all the answers but I didn't help him cause I didn't wanna die. Hermione was desperately raising her hand too.
He didn't know any of the answers.
Poor him.
So I got bored listening to Snape roast Harry I started to doodle on my book.
Suddenly Snape said
"Miss Lestrange seems to know all the answers as she is not paying attention."
I looked up.
He was glaring at me..or is it his usual face?
Shit.
"Who wrote the book 'Magical draughts and potions' ?"
"Arsenius Jigger"
"Which ingredient is not used in shrinking solution?"
"Rotten egg"
"You do seem to know the answers unlike Mr Potter"
Thank god I read all those books bought by Lucius for Draco.
"Clearly fame isn't everything"
"Clearly Thana seems to know all the answers"
That's when I understood that Harry Potter was an idiot.
And for that stupidity Snape took away 5 points from Gryffindor.
After Snape turned his attention to someone else Hermione whispered
"How do you know all that?"
"Light reading" I smiled.
From the corner of my eye I saw Harry staring at me.
After the classes we were all sitting in the great all some eating, some doing homework..
The eating lot included me.
Suddenly there was an exploration.
I wasn't surprised Seamus is an idiot.
"That spell doesn't turn water to rum"
All heads turned to me.
"The what?" Seamus asked.
"It is only known to create a weak tea or an explosion. So don't waste you're breath" I rolled my eyes.
Hermione smiled at me.
"Know it alls." Whispered Ron.
This git.
I saw Harry elbow him but I had to ask him.
"Do you have any problem with me?"
I asked him.
"Nothing" he mumbled.
"It sure doesn't seem that way" I hissed and stood up and walked away.
Pathetic idiot.
Then I heard the mails arrive.
I know I got nothing.
So I just walk away.
Then we were all gathered for our first flying lesson.
I was excited.
Madam Hooch came and asked us to stand in the right side of our brooms and put our right hand forward and say up.
I looked at my broom.I extended my right hand and said "up"
And it flew straight into my hand.
Well sometimes..I'm too cool to be true.
I smiled at myself and looked around.
Hermione was struggling with hers.
Harry just like me, got it in his first 'up'
He's cool too.
Ron's broom smacked him in the head.
I like the broom already..
Then Madam Hooch asked us to get on the broom and hover slightly above the ground.
Suddenly Neville shot up and went way too high and shot to the castle and after so much he got stuck on a pole by his cloak and it ripped and he started falling.
I knew the spell for the freezing charm, but I had not done it before.
I took out my wand and yelled pointing at the falling Neville
"Immobulus!"
He stopped falling.
All heads turned to me.
Madam Hooch looked at me and smiled" Ten points to Gryffindor for quick thinking."
I smiled.
I looked at the others and for the first time, they were smiling at me.
