Second Chapter, thanks for all of the faves, guys!

~*~

Later on in the evening, despite Peeves's teasing as she walked down the halls ("Going to meet your little boyfriend, Potter? Diggory perchance?" At least until th Bloody Baron flew past), Harry quietly walked to the classroom. It looked darker at night, scarier. She reminded herself NEVER to fall asleep in class again. "Professor Snape?"

Severus didn't even look up. "There's a cauldron on your desk. Look what's in it."

She apprehensively peered into it, then blinked.

There lay three unicorn hair's, a bottle of brunce ( or Elf blood) and a toad, very, very old thing that it was.

"That," Snape said softly-an odd tone, "is the recipe for the most challenging love potion in the world, the Grudos Lavandra. I'm sure you've heard of it," She hadn't heard of it, but before she could protest, He continued, "I was going to ask Granger to help me make it, but, since your here, I'll see if anything I've thought you has melted it's way in. I want you to figure it out in two hours."

Harry blinked again, then grinned, reminding the man quite of her deceased father. "That's it? No problem!" She rolled up her sleeves.

Snape watched her with a smirk. "Do you even know how to make the potion?"

"Umm... No. Is there some sort of recipe?"

Severus shook his head. "Pure logic. You must use your knowledge of usage for Brunce and usage for toad's saliva to make it. Once you figure that out, I'll help you with the unicorn hair."

"Um.. sure!" Harry gave a nervous giggle, similar to the girls who fawned over the boys on her quidditch team. Proffessor Snape sigh, and began to read a book.

She was in for a LOOOONG detention.

Snape waited for 15 minutes while she stood there nervously, and decided to help her. "Okay, Ms. Potter, it seems you have paid no attention in class, or you would at lest know that the first step to every love potion is to make sure your ingredients are FRESH, unless you want to attract old men." He said dully.

She flushed at that comment, he was getting a little too close. "O-ok.." Harrt poked the toad a little, and it put slime onto her finger. She grimaced. "Eww.. I'm 100% sure that's fresh."

Severus smirked. "Of course it is. What about the unicorn hair? What color is it?"

She wiped off her finger, and looked at the hairs. "Silver. Doesn't that mean its fresh?" She asked.

"Yes. White is stale, but still usable, just not well. Gray is usable period." Severus said boredly, his head resting in his hand.

"Ok. Aaaaaand.. I'm actually remembering something from your class that brunce is greenish when its fresh, then turns red as it ages?" She flashed a hopeful grin up at the man.

Snape nodded. "Correct. Ten points to Griffendor." He smirked at her smile. "Meaning, also, Ms. Potter, that it is fresh."

"Yay!" She cheered slightly giving a little dance. These were the first of many points Harry had ever recieved from him. She then realized she was still in the same room as him. Harry flushed, then looked at him. "Um.. now what?"

Snape rolled his eyes, but hid a smile. "You prepare the ingredient. Feed the toad." He knew she wouldn't know what, and it'd be made clear soon.

"With what? The blood?" She asked innocently.

"Actually yes. But you need to mix the hair with the blood, and before you do that, I'd suggest cutting up the unicorn hair so the poor toad doesn't choke to death." He sneered at it. "I don't have money to buy a new one." It croaked at him in a mocking tone.

"Ok..." Harry looked around for a knife, and carefully set it then wondered in which way would I be able to cut it without choking the creature.

"Small bits, about half the size of your shortest nail." Snape said, rolling his eyes once more.

"Alright." Harry sighed, and cut them into many tiny pieces.

"Good. Now mix them with the blood." Severus commanded, not looking up from his book.

"Yes sir.." Harry said in a mocking sing-songy tone, and mixed it.

"After you've stirred it 37 times, give the toad the blood. Not too much." He said, reading my book. "Too much and you'll end up the gender you want to attract."

"34.. 35.. 36.. 37! Ok, lets figure out what "too much" is, little guy!" She picked up the toad, and set him down on the desk. "Stay." He had no intention of moving, and croaked.

"Take the bottle and lift it into the toads mouth." Severus instructed, now paying attention.

"Ok. Here comes the Hogwarts express!" She giggled, putting it to its mouth, and made it swallow roughly two teaspoons.

He heard something fall and looked away from her as she fed him. Snape turned back, seeing nothing, and noticing she didn't hear it. "Huh..." He muttered. "Oh, stop now. That's good enough."

"Ok... now what?" She asked innocently.

"The toad now has to vomit into your mouth." He said simply, folding his hands in front of his lap.

"...hehe, what?" She asked nervously. The toad burped.

"He has to vomit into your mouth."

"O-ok.. " She felt a little sick, but gulped, then allowed it to. MUCH worse than any polyjuice potion.

She dropped the toad on the desk and made a gagging sound. "Keep it in, Ms. Potter. Your stronger then the toad, you know." Snape said, a little mockingly.

She swallowed, and it seemed thw whole room began to spin. (Little did Harry know, this was proof that the potion was working) She held my head, then fainted, strong arms whisking her off.
