Harry Potter: Special Ace Attorney's Unit
Chapter 2: First Day
Olivia and Elliot strode nervously down to the school dungeons after breakfast the next morning for Double Potions with the Slytherins, to be taught by the infamous Professor Snape, who, Elliot had heard from his older siblings, was horribly mean and hated any student who was not a Slytherin. Apparently, he had a special place in his heart of hatred for Gryffindors. When they entered the room, Snape was sitting at his desk in the corner, his long crooked nose in a book. Olivia and Elliot chose a table near the middle of the room to be safe. Harry Potter and his friend Ron Weasley went immediately to the back of the room, while Franziska VonKarma and Draco Malfoy sat at the front of the room, smiling so innocently that Olivia felt a strong desire to punch them. After everyone was seated, Snape strode to the front of the room and began to take roll. "Armando," he called icily. At this Diego leaned back, placing his feet on top of his desk.
"Present, although you really didn't have to get me anything," he replied, smirking.
"That's enough, Armando," hissed Snape.
"Here, we observe the new species of panther, the Snape, claws out, ready to enjoy the thrill of the hunt—"
"I've had about enough of your cheek, , that'll be 5 points from Gryffindor. Tsk tsk..and on the first day, too" Snape sneered as the Gryffindors scowled. When he reached Olivia's name, she said "Here, sir" quickly and breathlessly, determined not to give him any reason to hate her. He paused at Harry Potter's name.
"Harry Potter, our new celebrity," he said, causing Franziska to snicker. What is Harry so famous for? Olivia wondered. When at last he reached Franziska's name, he paused, but for a different reason. " Franziska, tell me, how has your father been?"
"Papa has been quite well, professor," she replied in a sugary suck-up voice.
"There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. However, for those select few... Who possess, the predisposition... I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death. 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!" At this point, Snape seemed to be glaring at Olivia, who didn't even understand what she could have done. She was copying down everything he said, for gosh sakes! "Benson! What would I get if I added powdered asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Olivia instantly began to panic. Oh nononoohno…a pop quiz! On the first day! She reached for the battered copy of 1000 Magical Herbs and Fungi that she'd purchased at the Second Hand shop in Diagon Alley. "A pity," Snape said and then he rounded on Harry. "Potter! Where would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?" Olivia had never heard of any of this before, and she had looked through the textbook on the train ride.
"I don't know, sir."
"Tut tut, fame clearly isn't everything. Back to Miss Benson-what is the difference, Benson, between monkshood and wolfsbane?" At this Elliot snapped,
" She doesn't know, I think Hermione does, though, why not try her?"
"Elliot!" hissed Olivia under her breath, though she was touched that he came to her rescue. Hermione was bouncing up and down on the balls of her feet, hand straight up in the air.
"Sit down, Granger" he growled at Hermione. "For your information Potter, Benson, Asphodel and Wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of the Living Death, a Bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons. As for Monkshood and Wolfbane, they are the same plant which also goes by the name of Aconite. Well, why aren't you all copying this down?" Snape snapped. "Oh, and Stabler, five points from Gryffindor. I'm not very fond of your attitude," he said glowering at Elliot and Olivia. Why does he hate me so much? Olivia wondered
