Hey Harry Potter Fans! I'm back for a second chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter! No matter how many times I wave my wand I won't ever own Harry Potter.
Sara's POV:
I was very happy to be having potions with Laurie the next day. It looked like she had made a new friend last night during the feast. I had made a new friend, too. He was a third year named Cedric Diggory. I was going to introduce him to Laurie at lunch after potions. I'm not very good at potions, even though my mother created an antidote for Amortentia, the most powerful love potion in the world.
When I entered the potions classroom, I could see a distinct line down the room splitting up the Slytherins and the Hufflepuffs. Laurie entered the room right after me. "How did you sleep last night?" She asked. "Pretty well." I replied "Do you want to sit together?" "Laurie, I am so sorry, but doesn't it kind of look like the Slytherins and Hufflepuffs shouldn't be sitting together? I mean, I don't want to break rules on the first day." "Hey, i'll let you sit with me at the Slytherin table at lunch today. I don't think that that is breaking the rules." We both went to our side of the classroom. Laurie sat with that same blonde-haired boy that she had sat next to last night. I sat next to a red-haired girl named Susan.
Professor Snape burst into the room, his cape billowing behind him as he slammed the door and strode over to his desk. "There will be no foolish wand waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to enjoy the subtle science and exact art that is potion making. However, for those select few," He looked over at the blond boy and Laurie and they both smiled nervously."who possess the predisposition, I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death." I was vigorously writing this down, but Snape thought different. "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." I looked up from my notes and put my quill back in the ink well. "Ms. Ridgecrest. Your mother invented the antidote for Amortentia, correct?" "Yes, sir." I replied. "Then I suppose that you would be able to answer a few simple questions since you seem so knowledgable about potions that you won't pay attention in my class. Tell me what would I get if I added powder root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" 'Add what of what to what?' I thought. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Laurie raising her hand as high as it would go. Typical. I looked back at Snape and shrugged. "You don't know? "Well, then where, Ms. Ridgecrest, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?" Laurie's hand was still up in the air. "I don't know, sir." I replied. "And what is the difference between Monkshood and Wolfsbane?" Laurie was on the verge of standing up with her hand in the air. "I don't know, but clearly Laurie knows, why don't you try her?" I replied. "Arrogant and a smart alec. Ten points from Hufflepuff." Some of the Slytherins snickered. "I want one full roll of parchment on Monkshood and Wolsbane and it will be due on Monday of next week." The entire class groaned. As I walked out of the classroom, I got mean looks from some of the other Hufflepuffs and even a few of the Slytherins. Thank goodness I could sit with my friend at lunch, because this was turning out to be a horrible first day.
I know, a sad ending, but it will get better for Sara. Tell me what you thought, what I did well, what I can improve on, etc.
