CONTROL(Harry Potter x MCU)

8. New Seeker

I was currently running through the corridor to get to Potions. I had taken the wrong staircase and ended up on the wrong floor so I had to run now.

"There will be no-" Snape paused as I walked into the room and he nodded in my direction, pointing to an empty seat in the corner back of the room and I nodded gratefully, taking my seat.

"As I was saying...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 paused looking around the room before he continued to speak.

"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." He said pausing again, this time he was looking at the boy who sat in front of me. He was hunched over his desk and he appeared to be writing something down and not paying attention at all.

"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 said still looking at the boy as Hermione, who sat next to him quickly nudged him causing him to look up.

"Mr. Potter. Our...new...celebrity. Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Snape asked and Hermione raised her hand.

'You'd make Draught of Living Death.' I thought to myself and I noticed Snape's eyes flicker to me before going back to the boy I now knew to be Harry Potter.

"You don't know? Well, let's try again. Where, Mr. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?" Snape questioned and again Hermione's hand was in the air and I again knew the answer.

"I don't know, sir." Harry mumbled.

'The stomach of a goat.'

I thought, confused as to why Harry didn't know it. I mean isn't he like a famous wizard or something? This is basic potions stuff.

"And what is the difference between monkshood and wolfbane?" Snape asked now looking Harry directly in his eyes.

"I don't know, sir." Harry repeated and Snape sighed.

'Same plant.'

"Pity. Clearly, fame isn't everything...is it, Mr. Potter?" Snape asked rhetorically as he stood up straight and turned towards the front of the room.

"Clearly, Hermione knows. Since it's a pity, why not to ask her?" Harry sassed and surprised gasps could be heard around the room. Hermione's face turned red as she looked around embarrassed causing a few people to laugh.

"Silence!" Snape demanded and everyone was immediately quiet as he walked back to Harry's table.

"And put your hand down, you silly girl." He said rolling his eyes before turning his attention to Harry.

"For your information, Potter... asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful, it is known as 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. As for monkshood and wolfsbane, they are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite." He listed and everyone was quiet as they sat looking at Snape.

"Well? Why aren't you all copying this down?" Snape asked and immediately you could hear the scribbling of pens and quills along with the typing of keys on laptops.

I looked down at my laptop screen and typed everything he said into my notes even though I already knew it.

"And Gryffindors, note that five points, will be taken from your house... for your classmate's cheek." Snape said from where he sat at my desk and I sighed.
