The Cloning Exercise
Harry looked up at the assignment on the board. Professor Snape was requiring something very new, extremely new, involving removing the DNA from a mouse, the stem cells from a tortoise, and the soul from a mongoose to create something completely new, something he called a clone.
"Professor? What if it is against our religion to disturb the animals? What if we believe it isn't right?" Harry asked.
"But this is in the best interest of science! The future of our world depends on the discoveries we make here in the classroom!"
"But Sir, it is against our religions. This is highly unethical to require mere students to complete such a horrific experiment," Hermione said sternly. Snape sighed and stood.
"Fine! THIS IS EXTRA CREDIT! But know that denying me the right to teach harms you! Our magic's progression depends on the success of these experiments! Think of it in this way: by cloning the members of our society, we could create a dominant race of over-powerful witches and wizards. We could rule the world!!!" Snape exclaimed.
"But world domination could be achieved by the Dark Lord, Sir," Neville Longbottom whispered. Snape sighed.
"FINE! This was a task set forth by Professor Dumbledore. He thought that you would be interested in cloning and the area of genetics. Muggle studies involves nothing of this, he just…thought I could carry the subject out in a way that you would want to learn about it, but he was wrong. The almighty Dumbledore was wrong! Now get out your textbooks and turn to page 394. Let's get back to our study of werewolves."
"But Sir, this is Muggle Studies," Hermione said sternly.
"CAN I NOT THINK STRAIGHT? LEAVE, GRANGER, LEAVE!" Snape screamed, ending the group's first experience with cloning. Little did they know, Snape had begun his own experiment and a clone of everyone waited in the womb of Lord Voldemort's prisoners throughout England. His wish would not be denied, particularly with Dumbledore overseeing the entire operation.
**Author's Note: This is a random assignment for debate. We were discussing genetics and cloning, and a creative assignment was called for. Who knew that DarkAngelSnapeLover would pull a HP fanfic out from her sleeve? So, enjoy, and…hold all questions. Please, even I can't explain it.
