Chapter 1 : Potions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Golden trio were sat all sat in their favourite lesson of all - Potions. Along with they're all time favourite teacher - Snape.
Harry, Ron and Hermione were just sat there awaiting their fate of being paired with a Slytherin.
Dumbledore had enforced a new policy in the school to promote "house unity" which meant that every single lesson that any pupil had to be paired with another it had to be someone from a different house.
This wouldn't of bothered the Griffindors so much if they had their classes with Ravenclaw of Hufflepuff but as it turns out (probably another one of Dumbledore's tricks) every single lesson except Transfiguration they had with the Slytherins.
" Class, Pay attention. I will only say who you are paired with once. Oh and please keep in mind I did not choose these pairings so you are not to blame me if you are paired with someone you detest." Snape said and looked directly at Draco with a slight look of pity in his eyes.
This soon disappeared when Snape eyes swept the classroom making sure everyone was paying attention. He then started to read his list out
"Granger is with… Goyle. Weasley is with…Parkinson. Potter is with…Malfoy." When this was announced the whole trio stopped listening to the pairings and each exchanged significant glances. This was going to be a long year.
Snape had finished with his list and had now told the class to find who they were paired with and begin with the first potion of the year which turned out to be a fiddly potion that involved adding 4 pinches of an ingredient that burns your hands after you had stirred three and a half times.
"If you make the slightest mistake with this potion there will be dire consequences. You have been warned. Begin."
Harry grudgingly made his way towards Malfoy. This certainly was going to be an interesting lesson, Harry thought but he didn't realise just how interesting it was going to get.

Harry carefully added the bat wing into the potion just like Malfoy had been reminding him constantly for the past few minutes.
"I don't plan on getting a bad mark in potions just because I've been paired with a clumsy oaf of a Griffindor so just do as I say and you won't mess up my perfect grades" Malfoy snapped pompously to Harry after they had sat down together at the same cauldron.
Harry gritted his teeth. How did Dumbledore and Snape expect him to get a good mark and last all year with Malfoy constantly hindering him and being his usual Malfoy-ish self?
Harry's mind started to drift to what horrible and depressing things would be happening in his Potion lessons for the rest of the year. He was no longer paying any attention to the potion.
"Harry watch what your doing!" Hermione hissed from the table next to him.
"Yea Harry, you've got to concentrate if you actually want to be an Auror." Whispered Ron from the other side of Harry.
"Yea I know, I know. I'll Concentrate." Harry reassured Hermione and Ron.
Hermione and Ron nodded and were about to return to their own desks when across the room a loud bang erupted from someone's cauldron.
Harry was startled and dropped all the ingredients into the potion. A thick green smoke started billowing out of his cauldron surrounding the four Hogwarts students.
It closed in on Malfoy, Harry, Ron and Hermione making their vision blurry and all four went dizzy. They were thrown up into the air in a whirlwind of green, blue, red and yellow.
A moment later they had disappeared totally from the potions classroom and all that was left was the rapidly disappearing smoke that had surrounded the four chosen ones.
Well there's the first chapter I hope you like it and review review review!
