Demetry Dragonheart The Wizard Book 1

Chapter 8

Two weeks had passed since Malfoy and the gang were given detention. Demetry ended up joining them because Professor Snape thought that would finally make the boy show up to his classes on time, even taking fifty house points from him. Of course he was wrong but that didn't mean he was going to take Demetry out of Detention any time soon. In fact, the boy was currently already late for Detention right now. He decided however that he would bargain his way out of it instead. So he made his way to Professor Snape's Classroom.

Standing outside of the potions class the boy knocked on the door but there was no answer. He waited awhile before knocking again but still no answer. Demetry sighed as he decided he'd just go in. The moment he entered the room he heard the unmistakable groan of a disturbed Snape.

"Get out."

He wasn't going to do that.

"Professor Id like to request for you to take me out of detention." Demetry stated as he walked up to his Professors working station.

"I see your already late to detention. Even though your tartiness is what got you in this mess in the first place, perhaps I should take another fifty points from your house." Snape grumbled back. He had yet to look up at the boy as he was busy brewing a potion.

"But Professor," Demetry paused as he sniffed the air, realizing what potion his teacher was making.
"Are you making a polyjuice potion professor?"

Snape immediately stoped his work to look up at the boy. "How do you know that."

"I can smell the boomslang venom."

Snape didn't look shocked and he didn't show any emotion, this wasn't hard seeing as he never did. But considering the situation he was surprised. It wasn't possible to have such a detailed sense of smell to pick up the different ingredients in potion making. He himself was brewing it and couldn't smell anything but the combined stench. He was about to ask the boy how he could smell such detail when his intellect told him it must have something to do with the dragon heart living inside him. Dumbledore has told him after all. Deciding to put a pin in that piece of information for later, an idea came to him.

Snape ushered the boy to come over with a quick motion of his hand. Demetry came to the work station then looked up at his professor questioningly.

"Well, give it a whiff." Snape said as if it was obvious.

Demetry sniffed the air before describing the contents of the small cauldron.
"lacewing flies, leeches, knotgrass, And shredded skin of Boomslang."

"As you said Mr.Dragonheart this is a polyjuice potion so what ingredients am I missing?"

"Powdered horn of a Bicorn, Fluxweed, and a part of the person you want to turn into."

Snape handed Demetry the Bicorn horn powder and watched as the boy didn't hesitate to dash some into the couldron. Demetry then stuck his hand out as if his professor had suddenly become his servant.
"Fluxweed," The boy ordered the elderly man to hand him the ingredient.

Snape quickly smacked the boy on the back of his head before pushing him to the side.
"It's a full moon, go harvest it yourself. Should be in the dark forest somewhere."

"Professor, are you sending me, a first year, in to the dark forest. It's forbidden."

"Well that's where you would have been tonight with Hagrid as an escort if you had gone to detention like you should have. Now go."

Demetry sighed but decided he'd retrieve the ingredient and return as soon as he could. As soon as he left, Snape reached into a drawer and pulled out the remaining ingredients and finished the potion.
