"Come in." Both Kayden and I went inside my grandfather's office.

"Ah, Ms Knight, Severus told me what happened last night. We will be ordering new school robes for you." He stood up and shook her hands.

"Um, I don't need it. I much like the boy's robes, and I surprisingly look good on it, and I think if I wear skirts, it will look awkward to me." She whispered.

"Oh, alright, then. Also, Y/N, it seems like you didn't go to your first room." Grandpa turned to me.

"Well, grandpapa. I will be staying at the dorms for now on. Also, Knight will be with me." I grinned towards the boy- I mean, girl.

I still can't think that Kayden Knight, is actually a girl! Like for real!

"That's great, and I think you both have to go now. You two will be late." Grandpa said as he points at the clock.

"Oh, shoot." I grabbed Kayden's hand as we both walked out.

We both went to aunt Minnie's class, Transfiguration. Once we opened the door, everyone's eyes are both of us.

"Ms Dumbledore and Mr Knight, you both are late. Do you two know what time you supposed to be here." Aunt Minnie glared at us.

Wait, did she said, 'Mr. Knight' does she even know she's a girl?

"Professor, I'm-" I cut off Knight before she finished her words because we will get more into trouble.

"We are sorry, Professor, grandfather- I mean professor Dumbledore, called us to his office for some talk." I tiptoe a bit and place my hand into Knight's head, and both of us bowed.

"Hm, I see well. You two better look for seats now." Aunt Minnie said.

"Yes, professor." Both of us said.

"Transfiguration is some of the most complicated and tricky magic you will learn at Hogwarts," she said. "Anyone messing around in my lesson will leave and not come back. You have been notified. "

Finally, it was Friday, which means we have potions with the Gryffindor. I can finally show off my potions and try some new stuff.

But we overheard some conversions as Kayden, I, along with our new friend Henry Grey.

We made three friends over the days, Benjamin Jameson Parker, Easton Kinsley Hamilton, and finally Henry Lincoln Grey.

Benjamin Parker, he has hazel eyes, brown hair and good-looking.

Henry Grey, he has dirty blonde hair, blue eyes add good-looking.

Easton Kinsley Hamilton, blonde hair, blue eyes, also good looking and he wears glasses.

But the other two were already eating their breakfast.

We overheard some conversion with the Gryffindor. "What have we got today?" Harry asked Ron as he poured sugar on his porridge.

"Double Potions with the Slytherins," said Ron. "Snape's Head of Slytherin House. They say he always favours them -- we'll be able to see if it's true. "

"Of course he does, Y/N is on that house." Lavender Brown rolled her eyes.

"Can I beat her up?" Kayden looked at me; I flicked her forehead.

"No! That's mean!"

"And you think flicking his forehead is not mean?" Henry laughed.

"Whatever."

"Wish McGonagall favored us," said Harry. Professor McGonagall was head of Gryffindor House, but it hadn't stopped her from giving us a huge pile of homework the day before.

We three went to our table and started eating our breakfast, just then, the mail arrived.

I saw Red flying; he dropped a letter for me. I opened the letter and started reading it:

Dear Y/N,

I know you get Friday afternoons off, so would you like to come and have a cup of tea with me around three? Along with Harry, I sent him a letter too.

I want to hear all about your first week. Send us an answer back with Red.

Your Uncle,

Hagrid.

I borrowed Easton's quill, scribbled Yes, please, see you later on the back of the note, and sent Red off again.

I am looking forward to the tea; I can't wait to tell him about my new friends.

"What do we have next?" Benjamin asked.

"Ben, you have your schedule with you."

"Listen carefully because I am not going read it again

"We have potions after this," I added.

"Professor Snape is our teacher there, right?" Benjamin asked.

"Yes, Parker. It will be fun because professor Snape favours Slytherin, and HATES GRYFFINDOR." Draco joins our conversation.

"Oh, but Malfoy, no one asked you," Kayden said as the others snickered.

"Shut up, Knight, by the way, Y/N, see you later at the class." He smiled at me and left with his friends.

"Seems like Malfoy fancy you." The four of them winked at me.

"Sod off, and we are only eleven, I would like to focus on my studies first." I blushed.

"But I heard from the others; the only two people who can make you blush," Easton said while wiggling his eyebrows.

"Oliver Wood and Percy Weasley." Henry chuckled.

"Oh la la la, Y/N Dumbledore is into older boys," Kayden smirked, I swear every time she acts like this, I always forget that Knight is a girl.

The boys still don't know that Kayden is a girl, we did tell them, but they thought we were only joking, so we gave up.

We all went to our Potions lessons took place down in one of the dungeons. It was colder here than up in the main castle and would have been quite creepy enough without the pickled animals floating in glass jars all around the walls.

But, I'm used to it. I would sometimes sneak in while the older students focus on their class. I saw a seat next to Harry, so I didn't waste anytime, I ran to the chair.

Then I heard some whispering from my Slytherin friends, making fun of me and how I got excited when I saw Harry.

Uncle is still not here, so we took some chances to talk a bit but then the door slams open and uncle Severus comes rushing in.

"There will be no foolish wand waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to enjoy the subtle science and exact art that is potion making. However, for those select few" he looked at me, and showed a small smiled because I'm paying attention.

"Who possess the predisposition, I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory and even put a stopper" I saw how Draco got his attention too. "in death."

Besides me Harry is taking notes, I am taking notes too but time to time I would look up too, but uncle saw him.

"Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to not...pay...attention." I nudged Harry in the ribs. He looks up.

"Mr.Potter. Our...new...celebrity. Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" I saw Hermione's hand skyrockets. Harry shrug, Draco and his friends Gregory and Vincent sniggered behind their hands.

"I don't know, sir," said Harry. uncle Severus's lips curled into a sneer.

"Tut, tut -- fame clearly isn't everything. " He ignored Hermione's hand.

"Let's try again. Where, Mr.Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?" Hermione's hand shoots up again, I sighed. He's bullying my friend, this is not good.

"I don't know, Sir."

"And what is the difference between Monkshood and Wolfbane?"

"I don't know, Sir." Hermione stretched her hand as high into the air as it would go without her leaving her seat, but Harry didn't have the faintest idea what a bezoar was. He tried not to look at Draco and his friends, who were shaking with laughter.

"I think Hermione does, though, why don't you try her?" A few people laughed; Harry and I caught Seamus's eye, and Seamus winked. My uncle, however, was not pleased.

"Pity. Clearly, fame isn't everything, is it, Mr. Potter?"

"Dumbledore!" I jumped from his sudden call, "Can you perhaps tell us the answers to my questions." He stared down at me.

"Um... Asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death. A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons. As for monkshood and wolfsbane, they are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite." I said as I looked around, I saw my friends gave me a thumbs up. Hermione put her hand down with sad face.

"Well? Why aren't you all copying that down?" There was a sudden rummaging for quills and parchment.

"And a point will be taken from Gryffindor House for your cheek, Potter." Uncle said, I heard some giggling noise from Draco and his friends.

"But uncle, he was taking notes. I was the one who told him to pay attention and take notes, and he won't know those stuff he only found out that he's a wizard for few days." I mumbled while biting my lip.

He doesn't like it when I stand up for Gryffindor, I don't know why he hates them so much. But he chooses to ignore me instead "10 points to Slytherin for paying attention." My jaw drop.

Things didn't improve for the Gryffindors as the Potions lesson continued. Uncle Severus put them all into pairs and set them to mixing up a simple potion to cure boils.

He swept around in his long black cloak, watching us weigh dried nettles and crush snake fangs, criticizing almost everyone except Me, my friends and Draco, whom he seemed to like. Well I am glad he likes my friends who are from Slytherin.

He was just telling everyone to look at the perfect way I had stewed my horned slugs when clouds of acid green smoke and a loud hissing filled the dungeon. Neville had somehow managed to melt Seamus's cauldron into a twisted blob, and their potion was seeping across the stone floor, burning holes in people's shoes.

Within seconds, the whole class was standing on their stools while Neville, who had been drenched in the potion when the cauldron collapsed, moaned in pain as angry red boils sprang up all over his arms and legs.

"Neville!" I was about to go down the chair but Harry held my hand and shook his head, "Idiot boy!" snarled uncle Severus, clearing the spilled potion away with one wave of his wand.

"I suppose you added the porcupine quills before taking the cauldron off the fire?" Neville whimpered as boils started to pop up all over his nose.

"Take him up to the hospital wing," He told Knight who was sitting next to him and she gladly did, Neville was confused why the professor asked a Slytherin instead of Seamus who is also in the same table with them. Then he rounded on Harry and I, who happen to be working next to Neville.

"You -- Potter -- why didn't you tell him not to add the quills? Thought he'd make you look good if he got it wrong, did you? That's another point you've lost for Gryffindor. "

This was so unfair I was about to opened my mouth to argue, but Ron tapped my shoulder. "Don't push it," he muttered, "I've heard Snape can turn very nasty." "Yeah... I know..." I mumbled.

I know that he won't listen to me and get even more angry at Harry because I'm standing up for him, I mean I'm his friend and he is my friend. I should stand up for him.

After class, I ran up to Harry with Ron beside him, "Harry!" I grabbed his shoulder, "I'm sorry for what happened in the potion class, I really do."

"It's alright, I understand. Also at least you told me to pay attention and take notes. And thank you for helping me." He smiled at me, I gave him a quick hug.

"Let's go?" "Where?" "Didn't uncle Hagrid tell you?"

"Oh, yeah and by the way can Ron go with us?" I nodded, then I spotted the running pretty boy towards us.

"Knight will be coming with us too by the way." I grabbed her shoulder to link with me, I smiled at them. I feel that their smile was fake, they were giving her some glare.

"Should we tell them I'm a girl or not? They're giving some nasty glare." Kayden whispered the four of us went to uncle Hagrid house.
