Blood Rose

Chapter 7

"Thought you wouldn't open a book before coming, eh, Potter?" Taunted Snape.

"What is the difference between monkshood wolf's bane?" Snape asked.

"I don't know sir," Harry said quietly. "I think Hermione does though why don't you ask her?" Go Harry. I grinned.

"Sit down Granger, Duchess answer." Snape snapped.

"Asphodel and Wormwood make a sleeping potion called the Draught of Living Death. A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons. Monkshood and Wolf's Bane are the same thing, also known as aconite." I answered.

"Unlike Mr. Potter, Ms. Duchess has opened her book. A point will be taken from Gryffindor because of Potter's cheek." Snape growled. Seamus raised his hand.

"Yes," Snape said.

"Sir, shouldn't we gain a point since Morgan answered the question?" Seamus asked nervously.

"Fine a point to Gryffindor." Snape snapped. I flipped through my potions book looking for the potion that cured boils. Instead I found something better. I grinned. After I finished I called to Snape.

"Professor could you taste this?" I asked. Snape came over and sipped my potion. He blinked then fell to the floor.

"Morgan what did you do?" Cried Hermione.

"I don't know!" I fake gasped.

"Since Snape's unconscious I think class is over." Ron announced. We went up to the common room. A girl with red hair and big doe eyes sat next to a girl with dusty brown hair that was highlighted blond. The brunette's brown eyes scanned the copy of Magical Theory while the red head took notes.

"Hey Cara," Greeted Ron.

"Whose Cara?" I asked.

"My twin sister." Explained Ron.

"You have a twin sister!" I gasped.

"I've been here for a week!" Exclaimed Cara.

"You know me right?" Asked the brunette.

"No," I sighed.

"I'm Summer Granger, Hermione's twin sister." Summer said.

"There's two of them!" I cried.

"Avery's not very observant." Harry said.

"Am too!" I inserted.

" Avery , I've had these glasses for years. You just noticed me yesterday." Harry grinned. I pushed him playfully.

"Let's go to Hagrid's." Harry said. The twins, Fred and George appeared at my side.

"You have to tell us what you did to Snape!" Exclaimed Fred.

"He's furious." Laughed George.

"Let's go to Hagrid's right now!" I stated grabbing Harry's arm.

"What did you do to Professor Snape?" Asked Summer.

"I gave him Sleeping Draught." I explained.

"Brilliant!" Declared George.

"Why didn't we think of that!" Added Fred.

"Because you're not as remarkable as me." I laughed. Harry grabbed my hand and pulled me away to my doom. Ron, Harry and I left. Hagrid lived in a small wooden house at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. When Harry knocked, terrible noises roared inside. Hagrid opened the door, holding to the collar of a black boar hound.

"Hang on," Hagrid said. "Back Fang." I began to play with Fang on the floor of the house.

"Yer might wanna be careful Avery." Hagrid said.

"Hagrid I play with my dragon hatchling the same way." I said.

"This is Ron." Stated Harry. Hagrid was pouring tea and placing rock cakes out.

"Another Weasley, eh? I spent 'alf my life chasin yer brothers away from the forest." Hagrid said. He offered us rock cakes the boys took theirs.

"I'm on a diet." I grimaced, looking at the lumps.

"How as yer first day week Avery?" Hagrid asked. Harry picked up the newspaper and read.

"I kicked Mrs. Norris. I gave a potion to Snape and I hexed Pansy." I explained.

"When did you hex her?" Ron asked.

"Last night," I answered. Hagrid said how he hated Filch and his monster.

"Hagrid, that Gringotts break-in happened on my birthday. It might have been when we were there!" Harry exclaimed. Hagrid grunted. I eyed him as he got more rock cakes for the boys. What was he hiding? And he acted the same way when Harry said something about Snape(I wasn't really listening.) I pondered this on my way to supper.
