Hey everybody, sorry it has been a while, I have been studying for the SAT and my AP test (well still am actually) I haven't forgot about you so don't worry.
So here is chapter 6…
Chapter 6:
It took only about ten or fifteen minutes to get ready. Grabbing his bag he left towards the Great Hall, knowing that he will most likely to the last Slytherin to arrive. Stepping out into the corridor harry started walking towards the great hall when he heard some whispers, quietly he walked up behind them and listened. They were two rather tall boys (which made Harry pout internally, everyone is so much taller than him) with red hair. These were the Weasley Twins
"Come on Gred, we never get caught so why can't we prank our newest little snake, as if he would know it is us."
"Because Forge, we need to study him, besides if we want the prank to be the best we need to know what would embarrass him."
"Oh now we are talking my language. For a moment I thought that you may be a little scared of him."
"Well…"
"Oh god Fred. You're joking right? How can you be scared of him?"
"Rather easily actually, I mean he was raised by three of the marauders, is the brother of the Boy-Who-Lived-"
"The unknown one"
"Exactly, just think of all the things he could have learned, so this time I am being smart."
Harry couldn't hold it in anymore, "You know if you were actually being smart you would not hold this conversation in the open but rather in an empty classroom or better yet in your dorms." Both the Weasley twins jumped and twist around in surprise. Harry smirked at the twins.
Then Fred, or was it George, laughed. "Well done, Mr. Potter. I must say-"
"It has been a long time since someone-"
"Anyone-"
"Was able to surprise us"
"And in return we shall not prank you yet."
Harry laughed, "Yet? I should warn you mister Weasleys if you prank me be prepared to be pranked yourself."
"Oh is that a threat little Prongslet."
"Prongslet?"
"Why of course, you are the son of Prongs so you must be Prongslet"
"Sure." Harry turned around and
started to walk away "Oh that wasn't a threat, it was a
promise."

Walking into the Great Hall Harry took his seat besides Draco. "What took you so long?" Draco whispered as he handed Harry his schedule.
"I've met the resident pranksters, rather interesting people." Harry replied as he reached for a roll and some jam.
"Did anything happen?" Draco asked concern.
"No But I made sure that they know if they decide to prank me they must be prepared for me to retaliate. It would be rather amusing if they do decide to prank me."
Draco just shook his head. "Only you Harry, would enjoy getting prank." Harry just laughed as he studied his schedule.

"Come on Harry, it is time to go to class." Draco said as he slowly stood up, "with the Gryffindors as well, what the bloody hell were these people thinking?"
"Who knows?" Harry replied as he too stood up and stretched, "but let's go we do not want to be late."
The first thing harry saw as he walked into the transfiguration teacher was a cat sitting on a desk watching as the students walk in and taking their seats, some students were whispering to each other and giggling. Harry sighed as he watched his brother walked in as if he owned the place.
Adam Potter smiled at the Gryffindors, making the girls giggle and some of the boys to roll their eyes, and glared at the Slytherins, well mostly Harry.
"If that our suppose savior," he heard one of his fellow Slytherins whisper to their partner, "than I am Dumbledore."
Draco chuckled overhearing the conversation. "I know kind of sad isn't it?" The Slytherins just laughed in response.
"Welcome back." As soon as Professor McGonagall started talking the class fell silent and the students who were still standing rushed back to their chairs. "Now that everyone is in their seats, we can begin. Now this year is your NEWT year, so we will be pushing you harder and faster than ever before. Now a quick list of rules in this class, first of all this is a class so there will be no foolish wand waving second of all if you do not turn in your homework that I will be giving you than you will not be in this class anymore. Is that understood?"
"Yes Professor" the class replied, all looking nervously at each other.
"Good. This year we will be learning a lot. First we will be reviewing what you have learned the past 6 years and then we will combine everything." Harry tuned Professor McGonagall out as she continued talking about what they will be doing this year.
What felt like hours the bell finally rang. Professor McGonagall dismissed the class and reminded them to bring their text and notes that they should have been taking last year. The class groaned and walked out.
"Now wasn't that interesting." Draco drawled as they walked towards their next class which was History of Magic.
"Think she is reviewing everything for her precious Gryffindors?" Blaise asked.
"Probably, but the best part is this month we can sleep in two classes." Draco rolled his eyes and smirked at Harry.
"Professor Binns is our History of Magic Professor. He drones on and on about Goblin Wars, would be interesting if he didn't have a monotone voice and would change what we are learning about. But oh well."
"Fun." Harry drawled in reply. "Is that all you learn about, goblin history?"
"Yeah," Pansy replied, "but it is not really goblin history that we learn about more like the wars that goblins fight in."
"Well lets go, we do not want to be late."
"But why not? It is not like he would notice."
"Oh hush Blaise." Draco replied as they walked towards the History of Magic classroom. Harry laughed.
Harry sighed as they walked towards the potions classroom. He couldn't believe how boring it was, and the sad part was that Professor Binns had some of his information wrong, imagine a student that has to correct something that the professor was saying.
Harry was excited, he loved making potions, but he heard stories from the other students how the Potions Master, Severus Snape, would always favor the Slytherins and that he hated the Potters. So how would he react to Harry being a Slytherin and a Potter?
"Come on Harry; let's get a seat in the front." Draco whispered tugging on his arm as he dragged him to the front row.
A few minutes later the classroom door opened and Professor Snape walked in. Harry was a little surprise, he overheard his father talking about how disgusting the potions master is, but Harry saw nothing of that. Professor Snape was tall, probably around 6 feet. He had shiny black hair that could be consider as oily and emotionless black eyes. He just screamed Potions Master and Harry was excited to be learning something from him.
"Welcome back. For the new students in this class there are a few quick rules and I expect them to be followed, first off there will be no wand waving in this class, if I see even an inch of your wand you will have detentions for the rest of the year. This year we will be making some of the most difficult potions and if any one you fool around I will make sure you are expelled. Understand?" Some of the students nodded, fear clearly shown in their eyes. "Excellent. Now what potion is Aconite used in?"
Almost immediately a Gryffindors hand shot in the air, "That is Hermione Granger." Draco whispered in his ear, "She is an annoying little mudblood."
"Anyone?" Professor said as he ignored Granger. "That's a shame."
"Professor please." Granger begged, waving her hand back and forth.
"Potter." Professor Snape snapped at Adam Potter, "Perhaps you already know this answer since you are able to do something else in this class."
"Uh- No, sir" Adam stuttered.
"No what?"
"I-I don't know the answer." Adam replied shaking in his seat.
"Now that is a shame, detention Mr. Potter. Let's see if your brother knows the answer." He turned towards Harry.
"An Aconite is used in the Wolfsbane potion, sir."
"Excellent. Looks like someone took their time to open their book, 5 points to Slytherin." He turned back to the rest of the class, for the next month we will be working on the Wolfsbane potion. There is a period of time where the potion must sit for a week, during that time we will be working on something else. I will give you more information when the time comes. I do not expect any of you to make the potion correct. But the Headmaster wanted you to try, so I will grade you on your effort but if I see any funny business you will be expelled before you could even blink. Now get to work."
Harry read the directions and sighed, this potion looks (and is) extremely complicated, not something for beginners to do, sighing, Harry lite the fire underneath his cauldron, and started working. Forty-five minutes later Professor Snape called the class attention back up front.
"Your potion should be either a white or pale yellow. Turn off you burners and place your potion of the cabinet make sure you carry it, any magic nearby could cause the potion to explode. The potion will need to settle and the next class we will be working on it again."
Harry looked at his potion and blinked in surprise, his potion was a pure white. Packing up his supplies Harry moved his potion to the cabinets, grabbed his bag and left, closely followed by Draco and Blaise.
"Now that was fun." Draco said as they walked towards the charms classroom. "What color did your potion end up being?"
"Pale yellow." Pansy said proudly.
"Mine was a light blue." Blaise whispered.
"How did that happen?"
"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the stupid mudblood next to me using magic."
"Probably, you should tell Professor Snape, what I heard the next time we work on the potion there has to be absolutely no magic otherwise the potion will explode." Draco turned to Harry, "So what color did your potion ended up?"
Harry chuckled at Draco's excited face, Draco loved potions, he even told harry that he wants to become a potions master like Snape. "Mine was pure white." Harry replied, smirking at the shock look that the rest of the party gave him.
"Pure white?" Blaise asked, when Harry nodded he groaned.
"Really?" Draco asked, laughing Harry nodded and watch as Draco got his 'I am thinking, do not bug me' look. "That is amazing; the only person I know who can get the potion to be pure white is Professor Snape."
"Oh really what was yours?"
"White." Draco replied.
"Good job." Draco beamed at Harry and the others chuckled. Here was a place that Harry could fit in, somewhere he was able to get out of the shadow of his parents and brother. Here Harry could be happy, and he would not change this for the world.
As said before, I will keep updating but there will be some time in between each chapter. About the Wolfsbane potion I have no idea if what I put down is actually how you make it, I just wanted the class to actually do something. Review please!
