GOLD RUSH, Harry Potter

The kitchen.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

THE STUDENTS WERE ALLOWED TO RETURN TO THEIR DORMS, After the castle and Gryffindor common room had been extensively searched of course. 

Sir Cadogan had taken over from the fat lady, which was rather annoying for the Gryffindor students because the portrait of the knight kept changing the passwords every hour for an extra safety precaution.

Hope had taken it upon herself to ignore Harry for his comment in the great hall, She wasn't mad. she understood Harry was scared but even the sliver of doubt Harry had hurt her deeply. So she decided to be petty, refusing to look and talk to him and purposely going out of her way to ignore him — just until he grovelled for her forgiveness of course.

DADA was going to be covered, Hope knew that. the full moon the previous night would have left her father weak and tired and he definitely would be needing a full day of rest to be restored to his bright self. 

She sat down in her father's classroom and immediately pulled Ron down beside her so Harry never got the chance to sit next to her.

Harry sat down at the table beside them with a sigh.

"What's gotten into you? you hate sitting next to me" Ron whispered to Hope taking out his book 

Hope gaped at him.

"I don't hate sitting next to you" Hope whispered back

"I just like sitting next to someone who I can copy off when I don't know the answers" She shrugged shooting him an innocent smile

Ron gave her an offended look,

Snape came bursting into the classroom, dramatically shutting the shutters on the windows with his wand. He pulled down the screen for the projector at the front, shooting the class a look as he did so, 

"Turn to page 394" Snape instructed eyeing the class

Everyone shared a look before turning to the page, 

"Excuse me sir, where is professor Lupin" 

Hope turned to look at Harry when he asked,

"That's not really any of your concern is it Potter?" Snape replied

"Suffice it to say, your Professor finds himself incapable of teaching at the present time" Snape explained with a wicked smile

Hope shot Snape a look at the back of his head,

"Now turn to page 394" He said sternly 

Snape waved his wand opening Ron's book to the page,

"Werewolves" He muttered gazing at the page, 

Hope's head turned from her own book to see if he was right. To see if Snape was in fact that pathetic. 

He was. 

"But sir, we've only just begun learning about Red Caps and Hinkypunks We're not meant to start nocturnal beasts for weeks" Hermione said pulling out her books

"Quiet" Snape said dragging out the word

"When did she come in? did you see her come in?" Ron asked confused, 

Hope and Harry both gave a shrug. 

"Now, Which of you can tell me the difference between an Animagus and a werewolf?" Snape asked starting the presentation

"Miss Lupin-Black perhaps?" Snape asked teasingly making Hope look up from her book, 

Hope clenched her jaw shooting him a scowl,
