The other Potter boy

Potions

First day of lessons arrived. Faith was woken by Rose at 6am. They stumbled sleepily into the great hall for breakfast, Faith tripped over her shoelaces at least 5 times! The girls slumped on the benches across the table from Albus, Lily and Hugo, who were all bent over Paulina's copy of the Quibbler. Faith bit loudly into a slice of burnt toast.

"You seen dad's interview?" Lily asked, Faith nodded,

"read it on the carridge here." She said with her mouth full, at the unfortunate moment that James strolled leisurely into the Great Hall. He spotted her and smirked. Faith blushed a bright crimson and turned away.

"Luna's a legend!" Albus laughed flicking to an article about Crumple-Horned Snorkack's.

"Yeah but she just talks utter rubbish!" James voice cut the air like a knife. Rose and Albus both shot him death stares,

"Yeah like we care!" Lily snapped, turning back to the Quibbler still fuming. James just smirked and moved further down the table. "Jellylegs Jinx!" Lily yelled pointing her wand at James.

"Lily Potter!" Professor Thomas exclaimed "Detention, after classes today!" Lily stormed out of the great hall, scowling.

First class that morning was Potions. Albus, Rose and Faith ran down to the dungeons, and still managed to be late!

"Glad you decided to join us." Professor Boot said, his voice depressingly monotone. The three of them slid onto a bench at the back. "Lets see, 30 points from Gryffindor." The three of them groaned in unisen and pulled out their copies of Magical Draughts and Potions. "As i have already said." Professor Boot emphisized, looking at Faith, Rose and Albus, "Today we shall be looking at the Laugh-inducing Potion, you will find the ingrediants you need in the store cupboard, Page 69 you have one hour. lets see what you can do." Professer Boot indicated the cupboard and suddanly the class were awake, shuffling past the benches secretly summoning ingrediants when Professer Boot wasn't looking.

Faith collected her ingrediants before flicking through her text book. Taking up her knife she began to crush her castor beans, adding them to her already hot cauldren.

Half an hour later she scanned the room. Albus was nagging at Rose because his potion was yellow and hers was blue, Scorpius seemed to be making the wrong potion altogether, as his solution was green! Faith looked at her own purple solution. checking what she'd done. It should start off orange, then go yellow after adding the moondew drops. Then go blue after stiring it clockwise 10 times. She looked at her now purple solution, it was the right colour for after adding powdered griffin claw.

10 minutes before the end of the lesson, Proffesor Boot came round to have a look at the end sample of everyones work. Albus' was only part done and was a dark purplish colour. Scorpius had been making the wrog potion,his turned out to be hicoughing solution! Faith's potion was a deep red colour, exactly like it should be.

"Right they all look safe to try" Professor Boot announced each student took a sip and suddenly most of the class erupted in laughter. Faith was hysterical for no reason whatsoever, Albus was giggling a little and Scorpius was hicoughing like mad! "Very good." professer Boot nodded. "20 points to gryffindor, it looks like Faith has the best potion"

As they trooped out and began heading to herbology, Faith was still giggling incontrollebly. Rose and Albus exchanged glances, knowing they'ed have to explain to Proffessor Longbottem!
