Harry Potter, The Baudelaires, and The Fifth House

Chapter 9 + Quick Intermission

Quick Note

Sorry everyone who likes this, right now i am really in quite a time crunch with family vacations, and my friends. None the less school, which for some reason my middle school has NO WRITING CLASSES!!! It is driving me insane. So beware that for quite awhile i may be publishing these chapters quite slowly due to inconveniounces with time management. Another note, from now on I will try my best to ONLY put full chapters on here so no one forgets to check back like- Oh wait she updated chapter 8. That's all, now let the adventure continue!

CHAPTER 9

“Potions… Potions… Come on where is potions???”, Klaus speed walked in the halls. “Yes!”, he looked at a sign pointing into a staircase to the basement. To be honest, it looked freaky but yet again, the entire school was unusual.

He turned down the staircase as searched through the doors, suddenly falling as he collided into a tall, dark figure who appeared in the hallway. “Klaus… how nice for you to join us- LATE! FIFTEEN POINTS FROM RAVENCLAW.”, he yelled as he spat on Klaus’s glasses. Klaus wiped them off and ran into the class, looking for a seat.

“Klaus!”, Winter mouthed as she pointed to an empty seat next to her.

Klaus nodded and sat next to her. “Why is he so mean?”

“He is very fond of Slytherins, not any other houses.”, Winter explained. “But don’t worry- you could’ve gotten on his good side. If you hadn’t been like that, he can be lenient.”

“Klaus!”, Snape barked as he stood at the front of the class. “What makes you think that you can be 7 minutes late to class.”

“It is my fi- “, Klaus was interrupted by another demanding yell.

“Address me with my name, boy!”

“sir… sn sn…”, Klaus ran through his brain trying to remember his name. The moment was so stiff he could almost feel sweat dripping from his forehead. “I- I don’t know your name… sir”

“You imbecile! My name is Professor SNAPE!” Snape raised his wand at Klaus. “Sayurdis Voicito!”

Klaus blurted out, “Yes professor Snape. I apologize for being late, I will take the punishment necessary sir.” Klaus immediately sat down as his mouth felt numb.

“I will dismiss your tardy” Snape looked back at him from the corner of his eye, “…today young man. Consider yourself lucky.”

Snape scoffed as Klaus turned to Winter, “What was that?”

“Actually, I don’t know. You are lucky Snape gave you the second-year class instead of first year for potions. He is even harsher on the first years; I saw Kearney be hit with a Riddikulus spell for dropping his wand as he entered last year!”

“Oh.”, Klaus responded as Snape snapped his fingers, alerting the class for his first speech about safety.

During his speech, Klaus prayed that he wouldn’t fall asleep, afraid of what else professor Snape would make him do… or worse. Klaus avoided his eyes to dose of and tried to get ‘on his good side’. But he seriously doubted that there was any good side to his potions teacher, he seemed as tough as a rock.

“Klaus?”, Violet searched as she entered their tower.

“Oh Violet, you’re here!?”, Klaus said as he stood up from the chair in front of the fireplace.
