~ Potions and Packages ~

[It is morning at Hogwarts, Aurora and Ron are running in the corridors, because they are late for Transfiguration class. In the class, a tabby cat is sitting on a desk. Aurora and Ron rush in; Hermione rolls her eyes in annoyance because they're late for class.]

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

[The cat jumps off the desk and transforms into Professor McGonagall, on-screen for the first time. The boy and girl are amazed.]

"Im still not over that Minnie!" Aurora says to her favorite professor.

Ron: That was bloody brilliant.

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

Aurora: We got lost.

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

"You go roasted by Minnie!" The twins says at the same time to Ron and Aurora, creeping everyone out by their twin-speak.

[Later on, inside Snape's potions classroom, the students are chattering, sitting near steaming cauldrons. The door slams open and Snape comes rushing in.]

Snape: 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... [looks at Draco, who smiles] 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 looks on] in death. [Draco raises his eyebrows. Snape sees Aurora, writing what Snape said in his lecture down, in, his view, not paying attention.] 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. [Hermione nudges Aurora, finally making her look up to the Professor. Snape then walks to where he can speak to Aurora more properly.] Miss. Potter. Our...new...celebrity. Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood? [Hermione raises her hand.]

Aurora: You would get an extremely powerful sleeping potion by the same Draught of the Living Dead sir. [she looks him dead in the eyes, he glares at her]

"THATS A FIFTH YEAR QUESTION" some students yell out to Snivellus (Sorry not sorry Snape :P ).

Snape: Where, Mr. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar? [Hermione's hand raises again.]

Aurora: In the stomach of a goat sir. [she starts to dislike this subject just because of the professor]

Snape: And what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?

Aurora: There is none sir. They are the same plant and go by the name aconite. [She smirks at him softly]

"How did you know the answers?" Cho Chang asks Aurora.

"I read all of the year books during my stay at the Leaky Cauldron." Aurora says while smiling sheepishly.

[Aurora stares at Snape, knowing that he shows dislike for the girl. In the great hall, around midday. The students are all doing their homework. Seamus is trying a spell on a cup.]

"Professor Snape! We do not tolerate the bullying of students just because of petty school rivalries." Professor Flitwick says to him in a stern tone.

Seamus: Eye of rabbit, harp string hum. Turn this water, into rum. [Looks in cup and shakes head.] Eye of rabbit, harp string hum...

Aurora: What's Seamus trying to do to that glass of water?

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

[Ron was cut off when a mighty flash occurs. We now see that the cup has exploded and Seamus is left charred. Several students laugh at this as Hermione fans away the smoke with her hand, while Aurora glares at the soot on her hands. Suddenly, a flock of owls start coming into the hall from the rafters above.]

Seamus smiles sheepishly at the looks he was getting from everyone.

Ron: Ah. Mail's here!

[The owls soar by, dropping parcels to students. Aurora gets nothing. She sees the newspaper Ron has put down.]

Aurora: Can I borrow this? [Ron nods] Thanks.

[Neville is unwrapping a gift. It is a clear glass ball with a gold banner around it.]

Dean: Hey, look! Neville's got a Remembrall!

Hermione: I've read about those. When the smoke turns red, [the smoke turns red] it means you've forgotten something.

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

Aurora: Your robs, Neville.[She smiles at him softly]

"Thank you for that Rory." Neville says to his god sister. 

Aurora: Hey, Ron, somebody broke into Gringotts, listen. [she reads the article] 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.

"Oh no... A curious Rora is never a good thing." Hermione says in a Im-Done-With-This-Shit tone.
