Sara walked to her first class with Luna, smiling. "Don't worry. You'll fit right in. Although, if I were you, I would prefer standing out. It's more fun that way." Luna said quietly as she read her copy of The Quibbler. 

After Care for Magical Creatures, Sara had developed a loathing for Draco Malfoy. They entered the Defense Against the Dark Arts room, which only held classmates and a cabinet. "Hello students! I am Professor R.J Lupin. Can anyone tell me what a boggart is?" The professor asked. Sara immediately raised her hand. "Yes, miss..." 

 "Snape, sir. Sara Snape. Boggarts are shape shifters. They transform into whatever you fear the most. That's what makes them so frightening." She explained as if she was reading out of a textbook. "Very good. 20 points to Ravenclaw." Lupin smiled. "Luckily, there's a simple charm to repel a Boggart. Everyone repeat after me, without wands, please. Riddikulus!" 

 "Riddikulus!" The class repeated.

 "This class is ridiculous." Draco snarled. Sara scoffed, annoyed. "You're ridiculous." She distanced herself, standing next to Harry. "Hello there." He waved. "Hi. I'm Sara." She shook his hand. "I'm Harry. Harry Potter." He grinned. "Nice to meet you." She smiled.

 In Transfiguration, Professor McGonnagall made an important announcement. "This will be a project worth 40 percent of your grade." She explained. "You will be partnered at random and study together for 4 weeks. Then, you all will take an exam. If you refuse to work with your partner, 50 percent will be taken off."

"Harry Potter and Pansy Parkinson."

"Blaise Zambini and Luna Lovegood."

"Hermione Granger and Neville Longbottom."

"Ronald Weasley and Katie Bell."

"Sara Snape and Draco Malfoy."

"What?" Sara stood up immediately. She groaned, disgusted.
