Grace Malfoy, The odd one out.

Part 5- Potions class

The doors burst open to a man in all black with a big black robe as a cape making him look all powerful and stuff, everyone went silent and shocked by his entranced

"There will be no foolish and silly wand-waving incantations in this class the man said with a stubborn and stern voice looking at everyone and then stopped at my face.

Why is he now looking at me?! I really don't like the attention I get here...He continued talking again breaking his gaze on me 

"I have been informed some of you have been taught before-hand, so those who have more intelligence will be moved higher since I will be teaching some of the basics today" he said looking at Draco and I. Draco just smirked knowing he's smart but if he's a type of smart person he would be a smart ass.

"but for the couple of weeks, all of us will be in the same class" Draco's smirk faded now as mine had grown seeing him in disappointment knowing he can't show off his skills...

"self centered boy" I muttered under my breath, oops..I think the man heard me..

"do you have anything to share Miss Malfoy" the man said towards me as everyone turned to me, ugh I don't want the attention, I groaned 

"no sir" I replied a bit annoyed by the stares 

"very well, eyes on me everyone" the man said continuing his introduction as everyone turned back to the teacher, except one, I felt someone looking at me, it was annoying so I turned, ready to send a glare at them until I saw it was Harry.

 He looked embarrassed when he saw me turn to him annoyed, noticing I saw him looking at me. I sent him a friendly smile to replace the glare I sent before he just sent a smile back and then I continued to listen to the teacher

"I am your professor, for potions class. I expect you all to pay attention and to be on all your best behaviours as well as you call me Professor Snape" the man said to us all.

"I can teach you all how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses, how to bottle fame brew glory and even put a stopper in death." Cool, we get to play with dark things I guess. 

Professor Snape then turned towards Harry who had his head down the whole time "Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to not, pay, attention" 

Hermione then thankfully nudged Harry in his ribs causing Harry to shrug at her until he turned to Professor Snape and saw he was talking about Harry, with several people looking at him, I felt pity for him since everyone looked at him...giving him the attention as what happened to me before...Harry then stopped writing and moved himself to a position so he could listen

"Mr Potter, our now celebrity, tell me what would I get if I added powered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" He asked Harry, I thought I might as well do Harry a favor since Snape was being so pushy with Harry so I interrupted Harry's hestiant answer and said

"Professor Snape, with all due respect, we aren't learning about aspodel infusions until next week as well as powered root according from my information given from my timetable and Dumbledore " I shouldn't have lied about the bit with Dumbledore and stuff but at this point I was having too much fun, from this boring session...

Professor Snape walked away from Harry and then everyone...once again...stared at me in surprise, Harry just gave me a grateful look and I just gave him a quick wink before Snape could say anything to me 

"paying attention above the time are we Miss Malfoy?" Professor Snape said turning to me again

"I like to be informed of what's ahead, sir" I said not hesitating to answer relaxed, Professor Snape just looked at me a bit amused by my excuse and why I saved a Potter from humiliation so all he did was nod.

 I now looked at Draco who looked even more annoyed at me from my response, I just shrugged at him and continued to ignore him. He doesn't like me defending Harry...suck it up pretty boy... Snape just continued talking as I fiddled with my fingers while listening to what Professor Snape had to say. 

Snape continued to pick on other people who didn't know the answers so I just took the energy to defend them with a come back to save them from Professor Snape being pushy, everyone kept giving me surprised looks and grateful looks as I just nodded back in response of being bored.

 The class was boring since I already learnt these things from home with mother and Draco. Father would always be doing work or his job while mother would take some time off raising us with powerful spells and educating us before we could go to a wizarding school.

 When we were finally finished with this stupid, boring class, Professor Snape told me he wanted to see me after class as everyone started walking outside class. Hermione, Harry and Ron gave me concerned looks but I just rolled my eyes and told them I'll see them in the next class, they nodded as they agreed, when everyone left for they're next class I turned towards Professor Snape

"You wanted to talk to me Professor Snape?" I asked curiously

"Yes I did, I wanted to ask you a question" he answered me 

"sure, what did you need?"

"why do you keep answering my questions when I ask someone else, knowing they do not know my questions" he said in a werid way of asking that question tense in...

"I don't know, I'm just doing favours...do you not want me to help them?" I asked now with more curiosity 

"well, I just wanted to confirm you can't always answer my questions when I'm talking to someone else" he said now looking in my eyes when he finished putting up his potions 

"yes, I know, I just thought maybe today I might be helpful" I replied with an easy lie. I only helped Harry because he's a friend of mine and consider him very close with me already, but for the other students I helped...

I don't know why I helped them but I guess I was really bored to help them out, since there was nothing better to do...If I wasn't bored I probably wouldn't even bother helping them and ignore them as I payed attention to whatever I was interested in.

"very well, that's all I wanted to know, you should get to your class now, you don't want to be late now" Professor Snape replied with smile i was surprised to see but then I returned the smile back and said 

"yes sir, happy to help" I said grabbing my things and ready to leave for my next class. Huh, Snape doesn't seem so bad as a teacher, maybe i don't mind his classes after all...
