I walked into Snape's classroom and sat in my seat right upfront.

I saw him smile and turn around after finding out I was there. He had to turn around so no one would see him smile.

Once everyone was in, class had officially started.

"Ms. Prince I trust you will get caught up working with you partner." The young Hufflepuff beside me glanced up at him then me.

"Yes Professor." God it was so hard not to smile right now.

"I'll do my best to catch her up sir." He glared at her for speaking out of tern then went to speak to the class as a whole. It was so quiet right now. "You learned how to make the 'antidote to common poisons' yesterday. Today you will be actually making it. Your ingredients are on the table in the back. Cauldrons are in front of you. Begin."

"Here are my notes. You get the unicorn horns. I'll get the Bezoar and mistletoe berries."

We walked to the back getting everything then went back to our table.

Her notes said to crush the bits of unicorn horns into a very thin powder. I got a granite Mortar and pestle (a bowl and instrument that crushes herbs and spices) and put the four pieces in. I hit them hard to break them up enough to begin grinding them.

This alone took 5 minutes. My partner did the same to both of the ingredients she got. But her part didn't take quite as long.

Once I finished the powder I dumped it into the cauldron. It turned to a marble looking white liquid.

We continued mixing for the next 20 minutes, taking turns. We knew our potion was done when it had the consistency of a very thin paste, and smelled like vanilla.

I went and grabbed the small jars. We used the mixing spoon to carefully put the potion in. She bottled and I sealed it with the lid, a ribbon, and wax over the top. The ribbon gave the seal better strength.

I raised my hand and Severus came over to check over out work.

"You can make one more bottle with that's left." He sternly said this glancing at each of us.

We did as he said and he left to check on everyone else's progress.

"Bloody hell Longbottom. It's not supposed to smoke like that. Discard it and start over. Quickly before class is over!" Longbottoms face was pasty white. The blood had left his face.

Neville ran around with his partner quickly starting over. There's be no way he would finish before class ended.

I was right. Neville was still in the mixing process of his potion. You have to stir it for exactly 20 minutes or it wouldn't work.

Snape dismissed everyone including nevilles partner. His partner had quidditch practice.

"Ms. Prince help Longbottom there." He said it as a command but I knew he didn't mean it in a mean way. He had to act like his normal self.

"Yes Professor." I went back to his table. His hands were shaking as he continued stirring. "Here. Well take turns."

I grabbed the spoon and stirred for 10 minutes. Then he took the spoon and stirred for the few remaining minutes while I grabbed the bottles then the ribbon and wax.

"Do you want to put the mixture in the bottles or seal it?" I wasn't mean but I didn't have a nurturing tone.

"I-I don't k-know."

"I'll bottle. You seal." I shoved the paste in bottles and handed them to him. Once I was done I saw him going at a snails pace. So I started sealing bottles too. Bitch I want dinner we ain't got time for this.
