Guardian of Hogwarts v2

Chapter 10 - Dormitories and Classes

Percy POV

Now, Percy Weasley was leading us to our dormitories. 

"Gryffindors, follow me, please. Keep up. Thank you." Percy said. 

"Ravenclaws, follow me. This way." A boy said. 

"This is the most direct path to the dormitories. Oh, and keep an eye on the staircases...they like to change." Ron's brother said. 

We were now walking on the staircases. There were a lot of people walking on them, and the staircases kept switching places. 

"Keep up, please, and follow me. Quickly now, come on. Come on." Percy said. 

As we were walking up the stairs, several of the portraits started greeting us. 

"Seamus, that picture's moving!" Neville said. 

"Look at that one, Harry!" Ron. 

"I think she fancies you, Ron." Harry said. 

"Oh, look! Look! Who's that girl?" A girl said. 

"Welcome to Hogwarts." A man in a painting said. 

"Who's that?" Somebody asked.

We were now in the corridor leading to Gryffindor Tower. We came up to a large painting of a woman in a pink dress. I later learned that she was known as the 'Fat Lady'. 

"Password?" The Fat Lady asked. 

"Caput Draconis." Percy Weasley responded. 

The Fat lady smiled and nodded in confirmation. The painting opened up to reveal a doorway in the wall, which led to Gryffindor Tower. 

"Follow me, everyone. Keep up, quickly, come on." Percy said. 

"Gather 'round here. Welcome to the Gryffindor Common Room. Boy's dormitories, upstairs and down to your left. Girls, the same on your right. You'll find that your belongings have already been brought up."

In the morning, and we were all at Transfiguration Class with Professor Mcgonagall. A cat was standing on the table. 

That is, except for Harry and Ron. 

Suddenly, Harry and Ron rushed in. Hermione rolled her eyes. 

"Whew, we made it. Can you imagine the look on McGonagall's face if we were late?"

The cat jumped off of the table and transformed into Professor Mcgonagall. Ron and Harry were amazed. 

"That was bloody brilliant."

"Thank you for that assessment, Mr. Weasley. Perhaps if I were to transfigure Mr. Potter and yourself into a pocketwatch, that way one of you might be on time."

"We got lost." Harry said. 

"Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats."

Later on, in Snape's class, we were chatting and sitting near steaming cauldrons.

Suddenly, Snape himself barged in and slammed the door closed. 

"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..." He looked at Draco Malfoy, who smiled. "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..." Draco looked at Snape curiously. "in death." Draco raised his eyebrows. Harry was writing down what Snape was saying, until Hermione nudged him to listen to Snape. "Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confidant enough to not...pay...attention."
Snape looked at Harry. 
"Mr. Potter. Our...new...celebrity. Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
Harry shrugged. 
"You don't know? Well, let's try again. Where, Mr. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?"
"I don't know, Professor Snape." 

"And what is the difference between monkshood and wolfbane?"
"I don't know, sir." 
"Pity. Clearly, fame isn't everything..." 
Draco smirked. 
"Is it?"

In the great hall, we were all doing our homework. 

Seamus was trying a spell on a cup. 

"Eye of rabbit, harp string hum. Turn this water, into rum." Seamus looked at the cup and shook his head. 

" Eye of rabbit, harp string hum..." 

"What's he trying to do to that glass of water?" I asked. 

"Turn it into rum. Actually managed a weak tea yesterday, before-"

Suddenly, Ron was cut off when a mighty flash occured. 

The cup had somehow exploded and Seamus himself was left charred. Several students laughed at this and Hermione was trying to wave away the smoke with her hand. 

A flock of owls started flying down towards us from the rafters above. 

"Ah. The mail's here." Ron said. 

The owls soared by, dropping mail to us. 

Sadly, Harry got nothing. 

I got a newspaper an a letter from Chaos, telling me that him and Order miss me and hope that I will write back. 

By the way, Chaos and his wife Order adopted me as their son, as Poseidon had disowned me. 

After reading the newspaper, I gave it to Harry. 

I saw that Neville was unwrapping a gift. 

It was a clear glass ball with a gold banner wrapped around it. 

"Hey, look! Neville's got a Rememberall!" Dean said. 

"I've read about those. When the smoke turns red,"

The smoke turned red. 

"It means you've forgotten something."

The only problem is, I can't remember what I've forgotten." Neville said. 

"Somebody broke into Gringotts, listen up." He said, reading from the article of the newspaper I gave him earlier. 

"Believed to be the work of dark witches or wizards unknown, Gringotts goblins, while acknowledging the breach, insist that nothing was taken. The vault in question, number 713, had in fact been emptied earlier that same day. That's odd. That's the vault Hagrid and I went to."
