Lily smiles. She flips the page. "Polyjuice Potion..." Snape stays quiet. "The Polyjuice Potion allows the drinker to assume the appearance of someone else for an hour or more depending on the quantity. 

The potion only causes a physical and voice transformation of the drinker, but clothing is not affected. The final component is a bit of the individual to be impersonated; strands of hair are most often used for this purpose..."

"We don't teach that one for reasons..." Lily nods. "Veritaserum is a very powerful truth potion. The name "Veritaserum" derives from the Latin word Veritas, meaning truth. Three drops of this potion are all that is needed to force anyone to respond to any question with the truth..."

Lily smiles. "Professor Snape?" "Yeah..." "How do you make Veritaserum..." "Oh, good idea... we'll make it today in class..." Lily smiles. Students come in and Leo sits beside Lily. "Morning..." "Morning... you weren't at the Great Hall today..." 

"Skipped... wanted to read about some potions..." "Today we will be making..." Snape looks at Lily. "Ms. Malfoy please say the name..." "Veritaserum... a truth potion..." "A very powerful one at that..."

You leave potions and head to DADA. You take your seat. A few kids come in and snicker. One comes up. The boy's eyes widen. "Dementor! Dementor!" Lily rolls her eyes. "Leave me alone..." She sees Leo looking at her. She looks down and her hair falls. 

She wants to get it cut after the dance. Maybe she should have it like her dad. She smiles and feels someone tying her hair back. They finish and she turns. "Leo..." "Lily..." She smiles. "Sit with me..." Leo sits. "Going to the dance... Leo?" " "Yeah.. and with you..." 

Lily blushes and remembers that day in the Astronomy Tower. "We can do that..." Leo smiles and Lily looks at him. "It's kind of funny you're in Gryffindor..." "Why?" "Your name's Leo... that's the constellation for the lion..." Leo smiles. Lily smiles and the professor comes in. 

They go about the lesson but Leo is distracted. After the lesson, Lily quickly packs her bag and leaves. "Scorpius! Albus!" They turn. "Dad and Papa are meeting us soon..." They continue to the Great Hall. Lily smiles. After a few minutes, the door open. Everyone looks up. 

Professor McGonagall and Snape smile, well Snape smiles a little less but you can see it. Draco and Harry walk in. Lily smiles. "Professor, Snape, Professor McGonagall, could we take Lily, Scorpius, and Albus to Diagon Alley?" They nod. Lily, Albus, and Scorpius pack up. 

Lily grabs two green apples. They head out. "Dad..." Draco looks over. Lily tosses him an apple. He smiles. They ride the train to the station. Everyone gets off. Scorpius trails behind a little. "Scorpius!"
