Watching the Future

The Philosophers Stone: Part 14

[It is morning at Hogwarts, Hazel 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. Hazel and Ron rush in; Hermione rolls her eyes in annoyance because they're late for class.]

"Just like James and Sirius, and Hermione asks like Lily a lot," Remus says laughing.

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

Sirius groans throwing his head into his hands before muttering, "Look at the random cat."
"Sirius you did the same thing you can't be annoyed about it," Remus laughs.

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

"They are in trouble, please be kind to them," James pleads.
McGonagall just hopes she doesn't punish them to badly in the future.

Ron: That was bloody brilliant.
McGonagall: Thank you for that assessment, Mr. Weasley. Perhaps if I were to transfigure Ms. Potter and yourself into a pocketwatch, that way one of you might be on time.
Hazel: We got lost.
McGonagall: Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats.

Hazel, Ron, James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter all smirk everyone looks slightly scared at the fact that they all look like that. They start looking around them to make sure they weren't pranked or anything.

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

"Way to make an entrence," Barty rolls his making fun of Snape.
"I think I look amazing like this," Snape says annoyed.
"Wait is Snape being sarcastic," Hazel gasps dramatically making people laugh,

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.

"Seriously Snape." Bellatrix snorts on how dramatic he is being. Snape just rolls his eyes.

Snape: [Draco raises his eyebrows. Snape sees Hazel, 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 confident enough to not...pay...attention.

"If you were to look you would see that she is taking notes," James growls out mad.
"Well obviously I didn't know that Potter," Snape responds bored.

Snape: [Hermione nudges Hazel, finally making her look up to the Professor. Snape then walks to where he can speak to Hazel more properly.] Ms. 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. Hazel shrugs.] You don't know? Well, let's try again. Where, Ms. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar? [Hermione's hand raises again.]

"We didn't learn these until like 5th year!" A seventh year Hufflepuff shouts.

Hazel: I don't know, sir.
Snape: And what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?
Hazel: I don't know, sir.
Snape: Pity. Clearly, fame isn't everything... [Draco has a smirk on his face] is it, Ms. Potter?

James tries to jump up and attack Snape but is held back by his parents who are also very mad.
"Wolfsbane?" Remus questions.
"An innovative and complex potion that relieves, but does not cure, the symptoms of lycanthropy," Hermione explains. Remus nods along.
Amelia Bones takes more notes, she even is slightly mad over how Snape was treating a student. She was determined to change the future.

Hazel: Clearly, Hermione knows. Since it's a pity not to ask her.

This causes everyone to laugh while enjoying sassy Hazel. Even Hazel laughs slightly at her younger self.

Snape: Silence. [he turns to Hazel, looking a bit insulted; Hazel seemingly gulps. Snape then walks over to his desk. To Hermione, who has still got her hand up.] And put her hand down, you silly girl. [He sits in front of Hazel, and leans towards him.]

"Enough! No student should be scared of a professor and no professor should be treating a student like this!" Amelia shouts out completely annoyed with the fact that Hazel looked so scared.

Snape: 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. [everything is quiet] Well? [to the students] Why aren't you all copying this down? [The students obey Snape and start to write down what Snape said. Snape returns to his desk, and dips his quill into some ink.] And Gryffindors, note that five points, will be taken from your house... for your classmate's cheek. [Snape then starts writing; Hermione looks at Hazel and then starts writing. Hazel looks at Snape, who turns slightly and then continues writing]

"Asshole," James mutters.
"Language Mr. Potter," McGonagall says but really doesn't mind thinking Snape deserved it
Amelia just glares down at her notes making mention of the amount of point each professor takes and gives.

[Hazel 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.]
Seamus: Eye of rabbit, harp string hum. Turn this water into rum. [Looks in cup and shakes head.] Eye of rabbit, harp string hum...
Hazel: What's Seamus trying to do to that glass of water?

"Maybe listen to what he is saying and then you would know what he is doing," Draco says sarcastically.
"Ok- well I was new to all of this," Hazel says with a pout.

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. Suddenly, a flock of owls start coming into the hall from the rafters above.]

Everyone starts laughing at Seamus's expense.but most students understand the pain as they have exploded something here and there.

Ron: Ah. Mail's here!
[The owls soar by, dropping parcels to students. Hazel gets nothing. She sees the newspaper Ron has put down.]

Everyone frowns at Hazel's reaction James and Lily look at each other both with the same thought of that they were going to change that, and they will send Hazel everything they possibly can.

Hazel: 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.

"Your robes Neville," Alice says sweetly and Frank laughs.
"He's just like you Alice," Marlene laughs out making Alice blush.

Hazel: 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.

"And now she's curious," Ron and Hermione say with a sigh.
"What does that mean?" Regulus asks.
"When she gets curious, she goes and tries to figure things out which gets her into trouble and in dangerous sitiuations," Ron explains with Hermione nodding.
