A Son's Tale
Chapter 8: Schedule and Potions Brilliance
Snape walked up to Jason during breakfast.
"Right, Jason, your grades are good enough for all of the subjects. That'll be DADA, Potion, Herbology, Transfiguration, and Charms, right?"
"And History of Magic," Jason said.
"I should have known," he mumbled. He waved his wand over a blank schedule. "Here."
"Thanks dad," he looked at his schedule. "Ooh Double Potions, first thing."
"Right, your taking the same subjects I am. You're trying for Auror?" Malfoy said. Jason wrinkled his brow in confusion.
"Yeah..." he said slowly. Draco's father was a Deatheater. Why would Draco want to be an auror unless...no, Draco must have the Mark already, and if not he must want it, right? He was confused. Surely Draco wanted to be just like his father? The way he'd always acted. Jason decided to drop it because trying to figure it out was giving him a headache.

Potions Class: 20 minutes later...
"Right, I'm surprised so many of you made the nessesary 'Outstanding' mark needed to continue with this class. NEWT work will be much more difficult and I doubt any of you will be able to keep up. Well let's see if you read anything." Snape held up a small vial of clear liquid. Jason knew as he'd been threatend with it and their summer homework was on it. He raised his hand.
"Jason?"
"Veritaserum."
"That is correct, ten points to Slytherin. Right how about this," he held up another vial filled with a gloopy grayish mixture. Easily recognized. Jason raised his hand and a faint smile twisted his father's lips.
"Jason?"
"Polyjuice Potion."
"Correct agian. At least someone in here knows what they are talking about." The restof the class went about the same as normal besides Snape insulting him every chance and hovering, hoping he'd make a mistake. It was actually quite enjoyable. What was the world coming to?
