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

Sirius says to Harry and Ron, "Don't worry James and I were also late for class."

Ron: Whew! Made it! Can you imagine the look on McGonagall's face if we were late?

"You shouldn't have said that." Sirius said.

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

Ron: That was bloody brilliant!

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

Harry: We got lost.

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

Harry, Audrey, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Remus, and Sirius all share a knowing look.

[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 Harry, 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. [Hermione nudges Harry, finally making him look up to the Professor Snape then walks to where he can speak to Harry more properly.] Mr. Potter. One of our... new... celebrity. Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood? [Hermione and Audrey raises their hand. Harry shrugs.] You don't know? Miss Potter?

"Nice speech, Severus." Dumbledore says.

"That's fourth year level how is, Potter suppose to know?" Professor McGonagall scoffs while glaring at Snape. "But you could always count on Audrey and Granger to get every question correct."

Hermione and Audrey smile at McGonagall, "Thanks, Professor."

Audrey: Asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion that's very powerful it is also known as the Draught of Living Death.

 Snape: [shocked] Very impressive Miss Potter, 5 points to Gryffindor [Audrey smiles and Snape turns to Harry] Well, let's try again. Where, Mr. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar? [Hermione's and Audrey's hand raises again.] 

Sirius says to Snape, "That's why you never doubt, Audrey, Snivellus."

Harry: I don't know, sir.

Snape: [turns to Audrey] Miss Potter?

Audrey: A bezoar is a stone that is taken from the stomach of a goat and is an antidote for most poisons. 

Snape: 5 points to Gryffindor. [turns to Harry] And what is the difference between monkshood and wolfbane, Mr. Potter?

Harry: I don't know, sir.

Snape: [turns to Audrey] Miss Potter?

Audrey: Monkshood and wolfsbane are the same plant, they also go by the name of aconite.

"Miss. Potter, does indeed possess the predisposition." Snape says.

Snape: 5 points to Gryffindor. [turns back to Harry] Pity. Clearly, fame isn't everything. [Draco has a smirk on his face] Is it, Mr. Potter? [To Hermione, who has still got her hand up.] Put your hand down, you silly girl. [He sits in front of Harry, and leans towards him.] You should start learning from your sister, Mr. Potter. [everything is quiet] Well? Why aren't you copying down what Miss Potter said? [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; Audrey looks at Harry and then starts writing. Harry looks at Snape, who turns slightly and then continues writing]

[Harry stares at Snape, knowing that he shows dislike for the boy. 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...

Harry: 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 Audrey fans away the smoke with her book that she was reading. Suddenly, a flock of owls start coming into the hall from the rafters above.]

People laugh at the explosion, Seamus created. While Seamus just grins.

Ron: Ah. Mail's here!

[The owls soar by, dropping parcels to students. Harry and Audrey gets nothing. He sees the newspaper Ron has put down.]

Everyone feels sad for the Potter twins, except for Fudge and Umbridge.

Harry: 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.

Audrey: I also read about those! 

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

"You forgotten your robes, Longbottom." Draco sneers.

Audrey: You forgotten your robes, Neville.

Audrey and Draco look at each and quickly look away.

Neville: Thanks, Audrey.

Audrey: No problem!

Harry: Hey, Audrey! Ron! Somebody broke into Gringotts. Listen. [he 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, Audrey, and I went to.

"That's very odd." Amelia says. "And suspicious."
