POTTER

"It's so annoying, Gryffindor won the house cup even they broke a lot of rules."

"Dont worry we'll make sure they're not gonna win this year." Draco said

"I don't know draco, you see Dumbledore has a favoritism."

"Touché"

The next day, the second year students are in the Herbology greenhouses as Professor Sprout enters.

"Good morning students."

"Good morning professor sprout."

"Welcome to Greenhouse Three, second years. Gather around, everyone. Today we're going to re-pot Mandrakes. Who here can tell me the properties of the Mandrake root?"

"Yes Ms. Granger?"

"Mandrake, or Mandragora is used to return those who have been Petrified to their original state. It's also dangerous. The Mandrake's cry is fatal to anyone who hears it."

"Excellent. Ten points to Gryffindor. As our Mandrakes are still only seedlings their cries won't kill you yet. But they could knock you out for hours, which is why I have given you earmuffs for auditory protection. So could you please put them on, right away? Quickly. Flaps tight down, and watch me closely."

Draco made sure his and Athena's earmuffs are flaps tight down.

"You grasp your Mandrake firmly. You pull it sharply up out of the pot. Got it? And now you dunk it down into the other pot and pour a little sprinkling of soil to keep him warm."

"No draco don't!!!" Athena tried to stop draco for putting his finger inside the Mandrake's mouth it bite his finger she laughs at him

Neville fainted, they continue their lesson in herbology.

Harry is walking down the corridor wearing his Quidditch outfit, accompanied by the rest of the team: Oliver Wood, Fred, George, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, and Katie Bell.

"I spent the summer devising a whole new Quidditch program. We are going to train earlier, harder, and longer."

Glancing to his left, the rest of the team follows his gaze

"What...? I don't believe it."

Stepping out into the courtyard, they come across the Slytherin Quidditch team, also dressed for Quidditch, as Ron and Hermione are sitting nearby Oliver directs his attention to the team's captain, Marcus Flint

"Where do you think you're going, Flint?"

"Quidditch practice."

"I booked the pitch for Gryffindor today."

"Easy, Wood. I've got a note."

Holds out a rolled up scroll; Wood takes it and opens it.

"Hahaha what a shame." Athena mocking Gryffindor team

"Uh-oh. I smell trouble."

He and Hermione get up and walk towards the two teams.

"I, Professor Severus Snape, do hereby give the Slytherin team permission to practice today, owing to the need to train their new Seeker. You've got a new Seeker, who?"

Marcus steps aside, and Draco steps out towards the Gryffindor team members Harry amazed that his nemesis is now a member of the Slytherin Quidditch team

"Malfoy"

"That's right. And that's not all that's new this year."

He puts his broom at his side; Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the rest of the Gryffindor Quidditch team examine the brooms Draco and the rest of the Slytherin team are holding.

"Those are Nimbus 2001s. How did you get those?"
