The Great hall was almost full when professor Snape entered it followed closely by Draco. Everybody turned to look however most Gryffindor's turned away again after realising it was Malfoy.

He's back! Mione he's back! Look he is back! Oh yeah he's back, oh yeah he's back.

Like why would I care? When he was away I had a better chance with Ron and now look what happened! he's back. Oh well Potions next what could beat that?

How about the fact that Draco Malfoy is back in the building!

Technically we don't know whether he actually left the building all we know is that he didn't turn up for any of his lessons or his meals. Let's concentrate on this assignment and worry about Draco later.

"Hermione…?" Hermione soon realised that she was still staring at Draco.

"Err, yes what is it Harry?"

"If we don't hurry up then we are going to be late for potions"

"Oh right sorry." All three of them got up and walked out of the hall and started making their way to the dungeons.

Meanwhile Draco was getting grief of Pansy and Blaise as to where he went, who was he with, what was he doing and why they weren't informed.

"I was out on a walk and I stopped and fell asleep then the next thing I know when I wake up there is professor Snape waiting for me."

"But any thing could have happened to you!"

"I'm fine now. So it doesn't really matter does it?"

"Let's hurry or we will be late for potions."

"Since when have you cared Blaise?"

"Never. But I'm a little scared of Snape."

They queued outside and waited. Snape unlocked the door and let them in.

After everyone had sat down Snape began to speak.

"Turn to page 763."

"Polyjuice potion I read about this the other day." Hermione whispered in to Harry's ear.

"Good then you could help us with it! Right Hermione?"

"Yeah alright."

"Can anyone tell me what a potion does?" Hermione's hand shot straight into the air, as per usual.

"Yes Miss Granger?"

"It is a transforming potion sir. This potion will allow you to transform in to another human however it is not that simple. You need hairs or some physical part of the person you are changing into. It cannot be used for animal transformation. Also the ingredients are really hard to come across. For example lace-wing flies."

Did I rattle on a bit too much then?

A bit well let's see what Snape has got to say I bet it is something along the line's of "do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all" but wait and see.

"An adequate explanation Miss Granger 5 point's to Gryffindor." There were murmurs around the class, as professor Snape never gave points to the Gryffindor's he was normally looking for any excuse to take them away particularly muggle-borns.

Wow! See that, even Professor Snape thinks that my explanation was all right.

Or…Draco might have blabbed about that little incident in the broom cupboard.

Why would HE have blabbed about that it was probably more embarrassing for him anyway!

Yeah I suppose your right I mean I am a muggle-born after all!

Yeah he's never liked you. I suppose…that incident…he was probably under a spell, potion or something.

"Miss Granger it seems your lunchtimes in the Library have been paying off" Snape said without the curl of his lip like there is normally.

Hermione quickly shot a look at Draco and noticed that he was smiling at professor Snape.

He's up to something. It's almost definite. He is up to something.

He is suspicious and that's coming from ME!

"Now everyone come and get our ingredients from me starting with the back erm…Miss Granger. You and Mr Potter come and collect yours."

Definitely! No doubt about it

Hermione rose and walked over to the front desk where Professor Snape handed her hers and Harry's ingredients. Hermione walked back and placed the ingredients on her table. Lifted her book and began to follow the instructions.

Meanwhile Snape was strolling around the classroom and gazing into each cauldron. He swiftly covered Malfoy's cauldron with a grin as if to say keep up the good work. Snape reached Hermione's and Harry's cauldron and smiled with real enthusiasm.

"I have seen the best two polyjuice potions that I have seen in quite a few years as working as a professor. I would like to award 50 points to Slytherin for Draco's and Pansy's hard work…"

That was predictable

Not only do you have a bad view on Malfoy you also have a bad view Professor Snape you are cruel!

"…and also 20 points to Gryffindor for Hermione's and Harry's hard work."

Oh My God he's done it this time he's changed, he has definitely changed. I might actually begin to agree with you about Snape in the fact that he can be nice sometimes!

Ha

"Class Dismissed. Oh and Mr Malfoy, could you see me at lunchtime there is something I need to talk to you about." Draco nodded.

"Goodbye Professor Snape."
