Harry Potter the House Child

10: Bridging the Gap

Harry's POV

The days were growing longer as Harry prepared for his next transformation. With the end of summer approaching, he focused on catching up with the material he missed during his first year. Sev’us had laid out a comprehensive plan to help him fill in the gaps before he took the potion that would age him to twelve, making him ready for his second year at Hogwarts.

One bright morning, Harry settled into the library, surrounded by a mountain of textbooks and notes. The scent of old parchment and ink filled the air as he dived into a review of the past year’s curriculum.

Sev’us entered the library, carrying a stack of carefully selected textbooks. "How are you progressing with your studies, Harry?"

Harry looked up from a book on transfiguration, his eyes full of determination. "I’m getting through it. It’s a lot to cover, but I’m learning so much. I feel like I’m starting to catch up."

Sev’us nodded approvingly. "Good. Today, we’ll focus on some of the key subjects you missed—Charms, Transfiguration, and Herbology. It’s important to have a solid grasp of these before you advance."

The review session was intensive but highly effective. Sev’us went through the material in detail, explaining important concepts and demonstrating key spells. Harry practiced diligently, his wand movements becoming more precise with each attempt.

As they worked through the lessons, Harry found himself growing more confident. Spells that had seemed complicated during his initial attempts were becoming clearer. Sev’us’s patient guidance made a significant difference, and Harry was determined to make the most of the opportunity.

Later that week, Harry focused on Herbology, which was crucial for his upcoming second year. The greenhouse was filled with the rich, earthy aroma of magical plants. Sev’us demonstrated the care and handling of various herbs, explaining their magical properties.

"Herbology is essential for many aspects of magic," Sev’us said as they worked. "Understanding these plants will aid you in potion-making and magical creatures studies."

Harry carefully followed Sev’us’s instructions, taking note of the characteristics of each plant. The hands-on experience was invaluable, and he was starting to feel more at ease with the material.

The days continued to be filled with study and practice. Harry reviewed his notes, practiced spells, and completed assignments, all under Sev’us’s watchful eye. The thought of taking the aging potion to become twelve and ready for his second year was exciting, and Harry worked diligently to ensure he was well-prepared.

Sev’us's POV

Severus Snape observed Harry’s efforts with a mix of satisfaction and vigilance. The boy’s determination to catch up on missed material was commendable. Severus was pleased with Harry’s progress, but he remained mindful of the challenges that lay ahead.

The review sessions were structured to address key areas from Harry’s first year. Severus took a meticulous approach, ensuring that Harry had a solid understanding of essential subjects. His goal was to provide a comprehensive review that would prepare Harry for his next phase of magical education.

The sessions on Charms, Transfiguration, and Herbology were particularly important. These subjects formed the foundation of a student’s magical education, and Severus was committed to making sure Harry was well-prepared. The boy’s improvement in handling spells and understanding magical principles was evident.

In Herbology, Severus took care to demonstrate practical skills and knowledge. The greenhouse provided an ideal environment for hands-on learning, and Severus was pleased to see Harry engaging with the material. The boy’s growing familiarity with magical plants was a positive sign.

As the day of the next potion approached, Severus remained focused on supporting Harry’s preparation. The aging potion would bring significant changes, and it was crucial that Harry was ready for the transition. Severus was confident that Harry’s dedication and hard work would pay off.

The journey to becoming twelve and ready for his second year at Hogwarts was an important step. Severus was committed to guiding Harry through this transition, ensuring that he was well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities that awaited him.

The final days before the potion were a blend of anticipation and hard work. Severus continued to provide guidance and support, helping Harry refine his skills and knowledge. The progress made was encouraging, and Severus looked forward to the next phase of Harry’s magical education.
