Lumos! Hello, witches and wizards! Sorry for the late, but there is the chapter 2.
My english isn't the best but I'm trying and learning. If you could help me with revision, contact me on X or instagram @scorosefanfic.
First year
Chapter two
Potions and Slytherin Supremacy
'Hi, Rose', someone said, and the girl turned around. It was Nikolai Krum. 'Hey, Al' He gave him a high five. 'Mary.'
'Hi, Niko', Rose said, smiling.
'Everyone's in Gryffindor, then. What a pity. I wanted us to stay together. But if you need help, just let me know.'
The trio thanked him, and Nikolai left.
'He's very nice, isn't he?', said Mary.
'Yes', said Rose. 'Come on, or we'll be late to Potions'.
They hurried upstairs to Professor Madley's classroom. Some students had already arrived. They would be sharing the class with their Slytherin classmates.
'Come on, make yourselves comfortable' said Professor Laura, at the front of the classroom. 'Silence, please. Everyone quiet down... Yes, it’s the same thing every year. A lot of scared little faces. But don’t worry. Potions aren’t as difficult as it seems. It’s a matter of patience and dedication… Open our book, Magical Drafts and Potions. Who has already looked at it or read it?'
Rose raised her hand.
'Very well. In chapter one, there's a simple potion to cure boils. Let's see what you can do.'
The teacher divided the students, placing two Slytherin students and two Gryffindor students at the same table. Scorpius and Evelyn were with Rose and Albus. They worked in silence, receiving the teacher's instructions. Scorpius was doing well and was about to pour the porcupine quills into the cauldron when Rose said:
'No, Malfoy!' The boy gasped, startled, and nearly dropped the bottle. 'Don't put the quills in, now. Look at the instructions."
Scorpius looked at the book. She was right – he should take the cauldron off the fire first.
'Thanks', he said, looking at her.
At the end of the lesson, the teacher went from table to table to observe the potions. She congratulated Rose, Scorpius and Albus on theirs and awarded them points.
As the weeks went by, the first-year students got used to the classes and the teachers, and became less anxious. They realized that the ghosts were friendly (except for Peeves, the poltergeist, whom they avoided whenever they could) and that the caretaker, Betzaida Briston, should not be annoyed under any circumstances. Rose shared the dormitory with Mary, Ciola Thomas, Ania Coote, and Serena Finnigan, whom she already knew, because they were the daughters of her parents' former classmates and her uncle Harry's.
'Hey, girl', said a familiar voice, and Rosa turned to see the bright Victorie walking toward her at lunchtime on Halloween. 'How are you, Ro?'
'I am fine.'
'I'm so overwhelmed with these N.E.W.T.s that I don't even have time to pay much attention to you, guys.' They sat down at the Gryffindor's table. 'Look, enjoy these first years. After the fifth, you stop living.' Victorie closed her eyes and took a deep breath. 'Are there wrinkles near my eyes?'
'No', Rosa smiled. 'You are perfect always, Vic.'
'And you're always so kind.'
Nikolai appeared at that moment and greeted Rose.
'May I sit here with you?'
'Of course', said Rose.
'Those Slytherin guys are idiots', said the boy, sitting down. 'I'm Pucey's classmate, but I dislike him.'
'What did he do?', asked Victorie, looking at the other table.
'With that talk about pure-bloods and that group, the Slytherin Supremacy.'
'Slytherin supremacy?', Rose asked.
'It was in the Daily Prophet', Victorie said. 'They’re causing trouble in Muggle streets, playing pranks. But the Ministry is worried this will escalate'.
'Like the Death Eaters? ', asked Albus, sitting across from Rose.
'For now they don't have that much power, but it's better that they are stopped at the beginning.'
'The hard part is catching them', Nikolai said, grimly. 'My father said that so far they've been playing pranks, stealing, and terrifying the muggles. Even the police—are they called like this, yeah?—have noticed something strange."
They glanced at the Slytherin table. Rose saw Malfoy talking to Pucey. Their eyes met. He smiled at her, but Rose remained serious.
