Chapter 14

The next day Sereia and Ron are running down a corridor, late to class. In the transformation classroom, a cat sits on the table while the class is doing their work. The door opens and Sereia and Ron enter. Draco and Hermione turn to the door and Hermione shakes her head and rolls her eyes at them. They run into the room after closing the door and go to their tables.
Ron: Phew, Made it! Can you imagine the look on old McGonagall's face if we were late?
Sereia dosen't answer. She looks at the cat curiously. The cat jumps from the table and transforms into McGonagall. She walks to them as they look at her with their mouths open.
Ron: That was bloody brilliant!
Sereia: Thet was so cool! I want to learn that.

"I still want to" says Sereia. Sirius and Remus look as each other with a knowing smile. Dumbledore looks at Sereia thinking about what he can do to prevent that 'maybe a stronger potion'

McGonagall: Well, Thank you for that assessment Mr. Weasley, Ms. Potter. Maybe you can learn it when you're older.
Sereia smiles brightly, causing a small smile to appear on McGonagall's face but it disappears as fast as it came.
McGonagall: Perhaps it'l be more useful if i transfigure Ms. Potter and yourself into a pocket watch. Then one of you might be on time.
Sereia: We got lost.
McGonagall: Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats.

Sirius, Remus, Fred, George, Ron, Hermione, Sereia, Daphne and Astoria smirk.

McGonagall goes back to her table and Ron and Sereia sit down. It changes to their next class where they all are talking with each other when the door opens and Professor Snape comes in and walks to the front of the class.
Snape: There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't except many of you to appreciate the suble science and exact art that is potion-making. However, for those select few...
He looks at Draco who smiles.
Snape: ...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.
Draco smiles even more and Snape looks to Sereia who is writing the things Snape says down.
Snape: Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in posession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enouth... to not pay attention.

"She's writing down what you said!" says Sirius angry

Hermione nudges her. Sereia looks at her and she points her head to Snape making her look at him, seeing him look at her.
Snape: Ms. Potter. Our.. new.. celebrity.
Ron looks to Sereia who frowns.
Snape: Tell me, What would i get if i added root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?

"That's not a first year quiestion" says a seventh year.

Sereia looks at Hermione when she lifts her arm before looking back to Snape and shaking her head.
Snape: 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 raises her arm higher.
Sereia: I-I don't know, sir.
Ron looks at her before looking back to Snape.
Snape: What is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?

"Those aren't first year Questions, how was she suppose to know that?" asks a fifth year.

Hermione lifts her arm as high as she can.
Sereia: I don't know, sir.
Snape: Pity. Clearly, fame isn't everything, is it Ms. Potter
Draco is silenty laughing at her. Sereia just looks at Snape.

"Severus!" says McGonagall shocked before looking to Dumbledore who looks like he didn't care, making her even more shocked. Poseidon, Tyson, Sirius, Remus, and Tom were furious. The last one not knowing why.

Back in the Great Hall, students are doing their Homework.
Boy: •Eye of rabbit, harp string hum. Turn this water into rum•
He slightly stands up and looks into his glass before shaking his head and sitting back down
Boy: •Eye of rabbit, harb string hum•...
Sereia: What's Seamus trying to do with that glass of water?

"And that's why you're not in Ravenclaw." says Hermione. Sereia rolls her eyes as Ron laughs.

Ron: Turn it into rum. Actually managed a weak tea yesterday, before--
Something explodes and they turn to Seamus whose face is missing eyebrows and is full of soot.

Seamus blushes.

The students laugh. Hermione blows away the smoke from her face with her hand. They look up when they hear owl cries.
Ron: Ah, mail's here.
They see multiple Owls entering the Great Hall carrying letters and packages. The Owls drop the Mail to the Students. An Owl drops a letter and a Paper to Ron. He places the Paper to the side and opens the letter.
Sereia: Can i borrow this?
Ron nods.
Sereia: Thanks.
As she opens the Paper, Neville is looking confused, at the ball he got.
Boy: Hey, look, Neville's got a •Remembrall?•
Hermione: I read about those. The smoke turns red when you've forgotten something.
The smoke turns red.
Neville: The only problem is, I can't remember what i've forgotten.

"It was your robes Neville" "Thank you Luna" says Neville while blushing. Sereia sees this and looks between the two with a smirk. "What's the point of it, if you it isn't telling you what you've forgotten?" asks Connor. Most shrug.

Sereia: Hey Ron, somebody broke into Gringotts. Listen. "Believed to be the work of Dark wizards or witches unknown. Gringotts goblins while acknowledge the breach, insist nothing was taken. The vault in question, number 713 had in fact been emptied earlier that very same day." That's odd. That's the vault Hagrid and i went to.
Sereia and Ron share a look before looking at Hermione who looks at that suspicious and deep in thought.

Everyone looks at Hagrid who blushed at the attention. Sereia looks at Tom knowingly who raises an eyebrow at her.
