Kyle sighed happily as he headed down into the dungeons. It was finally time for potions. He was greatly looking forward to it. Not as much because it was potions, but because his friend was in that class, finally. 

He had somehow miraculously done well in the other classes, earning him points for his house, and more impressed looks from the other Slytherins. He wasn't the top in his class, but it was only the first day. He had plenty of time to improve. 

Entering into the Potions class room he saw that the Gryffindors had already claimed their seats. Siobhan was alone. Kyle grinned and quickly took the seat next to her. He gave her a grin, and could see out of the corner of his eyes a black-haired girl looking as if he had flipped her off personally. Kyle was in a surprisingly good mood, much improved by Siobhan's presence and the so far good first day. "Do all Gryffindors have a stick up their arse?" Kyle asked just loud enough for Siobhan to hear him, and a boy from Gryffindor in from of them. The boy turned around and glared at Kyle.

"Do all Slytherins have troll brains?" The Gryffindor snapped back. "Even the ones who got lost on their way to their dorms?" He glared at Siobhan.
