Chapter 1:
Harry Potter climbed out of bed and put on his glasses. He looked over at Ron Weasley who was still fast asleep and snoring. At the sight of this Harry rolled his eyes and began rummaging through his trunk for his robes and books. It was their first day of year 5 and Harry was grateful that he and his twin sister, Hilary were here to live it after the events of the holidays (a/u what happened in OOTP holidays except Hilary experienced them as well).
After Harry was dressed and ready for the day, he called to Ron, 'wake up sleepy head!' and hit him with a pillow; this was the only possible way to wake up Ron unless he woke up himself.
Ron grunted and rolled out of bed while awaking.
'Wa's 'appening,' he said blinking and staring around the dormitory.
'Hurry up and get dressed so we can go to breakfast,' Harry replied.
In the next ten minutes, Ron emerged from the bathroom fully dressed just as Harry's stomach growled.
'Come on,' Harry said and they both walked down to the Great Hall. As soon as they arrived, Ron grabbed a piece of toast and sat down next to Hermione while Harry sat next to Hilary.
'Morning guys,' Hilary said cheerfully.
'Morning,' Harry and Ron replied while eating.
'ot dwe av firsup,' Ron managed to say through a mouthful of bread.
'Don't talk with your mouth full Ronald,' Hermione said sternly but still answered his question, 'er..oh no, double Potions.'
Everyone groaned at the sound of this.
'Our first day and we have to wake up to not just Potions but double Potions,' Hilary said annoyingly, 'I will never look forward to a Monday morning again.'
Everyone agreed.
After breakfast they reluctantly walked down to the dungeons where no other than Draco Malfoy and his two goons, Crabbe and Goyle stood next to him.
'Why if it isn't the Potty Dweebs and they're sidekicks Weasel and Mudblood,' he sneered looking pleased with himself, Crabbe and Goyle snickered.
'Well if it isn't Tweedle Dee and his two faithful companions, Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dummer,' Hilary retorted acknowledging each of them.
Everyone laughed as Malfoy's face turned red and he turned away.
'Silence!' said a voice from around the corner and Professor Severus Snape emerged looking very displeased.
He roughly opened up the door and swiftly walked inside to the front of the dungeon.
Harry, Hilary, Ron and Hermione walked and took a seat at their usual table at the back.
'Looks like he's still angry about losing the Defence Against the Dark Arts job to that Umbridge woman,' Harry whispered to Ron as they sat down.
'Potter, 50 points from Gryffindor,' Snape shouted, apparently he had heard Harry from the front of the classroom.
'Bloody hell, he has good hearing,' Ron whispered back to Harry.
'Shut up Weasley, and an extra 50 points from Gryffindor,' Snape yelled once again.
'Good going guys, now Snape's in an extra bad mood,' Hermione said leaning across Hilary.
'Well I can't help it if he's being an extra strict git today,' Ron replied facing Hermione.
'Quiet! Today you will be brewing me the very powerful and difficult to make mind control potion, Aristerinium,' Snape said in a don't mess with me today tone.
He then flicked his wand towards the board, 'the ingredients are on the board, you may begin,' and with that he sat down behind his desk and started furiously scribbling on a piece of parchment supposedly devising plans to make everyone else's day worse than his.
'I can't believe it,' Hermione said in an unfathomable tone.
'What, what is it,' Hilary said anxiously.
'I have always wanted to make this potion!' Hermione said looking excited as she then rushed over to the ingredients cupboard to collect what she needed.
'I can't believe her,' Ron said staring at her as if she was crazy.
'You can't believe her? I can't believe this potion,' Harry said staring at the board, 'have you seen how complicated it is?'
Ron and Hilary read what was upon the board.
'Is he kidding? This is like a Newt level potion, there's no way anyone will be able to make this potion.' Hilary said.
'I wouldn't be so sure on that,' Ron said for Hermione had appeared with all ingredients in hand and was already heating up her cauldron.
'I guess we'd better start then,' Hilary said as she stood up and walked towards the ingredients cupboard unenthusiastically. Ron and Harry followed.
Over the next hour, Hermione's potion was three quarters of the way through and predictably perfect, Ron was trying to put out some flames that had magically appeared in the middle of his potion while Harry and Hilary were secretly working together while Snape wasn't watching but the thing is, they did not always make the best team.
'No, Harry! You did it wrong! You were supposed to add the Derig sprouts not the Delig sprouts,' Hilary whispered to Harry frantically trying to repair the damage he had done to his potion; it had begun issuing large amounts of glitter.
'Well how was I supposed to know, they look exactly the same and they sound the same!' Harry whispered back to Hilary angrily.
'Hilary!' Hermione almost shrieked but kept her voice down, 'your potion!'
Hilary looked back at her potion only to be greeted by a spurt of coloured potion in her face; she had left her potion boiling for too long.
'Urgh,' Hilary said in disgust taking care not to swallow any potion, 'Yuk!'
Hermione was helping calm down the potion while Hilary found a cloth to wipe her face. As she brought it up to wipe her face, her wrist was gripped and pulled back down to the table and her cloth was taken.
'Potter, what do you call this mess?' Snape sneered for her potion was still spewing large amounts of coloured potion. All Slytherins turned in their seats to watch; they loved the way Snape tormented Gryffindors.
Hilary, Harry, Hermione and Ron were all surprised to hear Snape because he had not moved an inch from his seat or had said a single thing all class apart from the beginning. It seemed that he had recovered from his loss of the Defence Against the Dark Arts job.
'Well, Potter?'
Hilary stared at Snape blankly, she wasn't going to say that she was helping Harry with his potion and considerably forgotten about her own.
'Er well you see, I must er have had the wrong page open and was making that potion,' Hilary looked innocently at Snape but felt stupid because of the potion all over her face
'Is that true, Miss Potter because I thought that I had put the instructions on the board for you to use,' Snape smirked and mockingly looked towards the board, 'oh and there they are,' he continued, turning back towards her.
Many Slytherins including Malfoy, who was the loudest, snickered.
'Tut, tut, it will then seem that this potion is useless,' Snape took out his wand and pointed it towards her potion and it disappeared almost instantly, 'next time follow instructions Potter and don't help your brother.'
Hilary and Harry both gasped, how did he know, they both thought, he had his head down all lesson writing on that piece of parchment, but were unable to think about it much more for Snape had placed his wand back in his pocket and moved onto Harry's potion which was now issuing large amounts of glitter, confetti and streamers all over the bench.
'My, my Potter, I didn't know we were holding a celebration during class today,' Snape smirked again evidently enjoying himself.
'We weren't,' Harry said a little roughly.
'Really Potter? Well how co-,' but Snape stopped short for Harry's potion gave a violent rumble, at this point all of the glitter, confetti and streamers had disappeared. Everyone in the class including Snape were mesmerised by Harry's potion, a few like Neville were chewing their fingernails.
All of a sudden, Harry's potion let off the smell of rotten fish, everyone pinched their noses and groans could be heard all over the classroom.
Snape took out his wand out again and uttered a spell which caused the potion to relieve itself of the smell.
Snape and Harry both looked over the potion, Ron, Hilary and Hermione slowly moved away from Harry and his potion. A bell was heard echoing through the school but everyone in the class waited to see if anything would happen again with Harry's potion, however they were not disappointed.
Snape stood upright, 'well it seems that Potter's disaster of a potion has finally finished its performance,' a few Slytherins snickered. 'You are free to-,' Snape was interrupted again for Harry's potion had given one final lurch and exploded in Harry and Snape's faces.
'POTTER!' Snape exploded as he spluttered; he could taste the potion inside his mouth.
Harry was also spluttering; he was sure he had swallowed some.
'Everyone is dismissed!' Snape was looking murderous.
Everyone quickly departed apart from Hilary, Ron and Hermione.
'Out now Potter, Weasley, Granger, or detention for all of you!' he roared.
Harry looked pleadingly at his friends not to leave him.
Ron mouthed, 'sorry mate' and they left.
'Potter, you can join me in the dungeons on Saturday night for detention and you can lose 50 points from Gryffindor for your carelessness,' Snape said looking slightly calmer, 'get to your next class, now!'
With that Harry left feeling dreadful, that was the best lesson I have ever had, he thought sarcastically, I am never going to let Hilary help me again, he continued thinking while wiping his face on his robe to rid of the potion. The only thing that could make my day worse was if that potion had some effect on me and Snape, and he miserably walked down the corridor towards his next class.
It's a shame Harry didn't know how right he was...
