POTTER

3

Later on, inside Snape's potions classroom, the students are chattering, sitting near steaming cauldrons. The door slams open and Snape 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 appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. However, for those select few. 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 in death."

Draco raises his eyebrows. Snape sees Harry, writing what Snape said in his lecture down, in, his view, not paying attention.

""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!"

Hermione nudges Harry, finally making him look up to the Professor. Snape then walks to where he can speak to Harry more properly. Athena is holding her laugh she really want to ridicule Harry for being an idiot.

""Mr. Potter. Our new celebrity. Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood? You don't know? Well, let's try again. Where, Mr. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar? And what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane? Pity. Clearly, fame isn't everything, is it, Mr. Potter?"

Hermione raises her hand. Harry shrugs.

"Clearly, Hermione knows. Seems a pity not to ask her."

Hermione looks a bit surprised as everyone laughs. He turns to Harry, looking a bit insulted, Harry seemingly gulps. Snape then walks over to his desk. To Hermione, who has still got her hand up. He sits in front of Harry, and leans towards him.

"Silence. Put your hand down, you silly girl! For your information, Potter asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of the Living Dead. 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."

"Well, why aren't you all copying this down? Gryffindors, note that five points, will be taken from your house... for your classmate's cheek."

Athena handed her note to Draco to copy it but Snape saw her.

"Ms. Potter what are you doing?" Snape asked

"Sorry Professor I just handed my note to Draco to let him copy what you discussed with Harry earlier."

"Very well, Mr. Malfoy make it quick."

Snape then starts writing Hermione looks at Harry and then starts writing. Harry looks at Snape, who turns slightly and then continues writing.
