Chapter 10
So that's what Harry did he followed Draco down to potions, and sat at the very back, dreading this class with all of his being. Swallowing thickly, Draco tried to reassure him but he was just as hurt as Harry was - he didn't want his godfather hating his friends.
In Potions, Snape swept out of the shadows and opened the doors with a resounding bang. The class was full of Gryffindor's, Slytherin's Huffelpuffs and Ravenclaw's. Snape had almost growled in anger when Dumbledore suggested all houses take some classes together, hoping they would befriend each other.
"In," he growled.
Once all the students were seated, Gryffindor's and Huffelpuff mingling and Ravenclaws and Slytherins sitting near each other but not talking, Professor Snape began to speak.
"There will be no foolish wand waving in my class. I will teach you the subtle art of potion making. You could brew glory, bottle fame, or even put a stopper on death."
He did the register when it came to Harry he said, "Ah, Harry Potter, our new celebrity."
After completing the role call, Snape barked out, "Potter."
Harry jumped and nearly cowered before the Potions Master.
"Tell me, Potter. What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Snape asked. A predatory gleam circling his eyes.
"I, uh, I don't know," he stammered, his ears turning a soft shade of pink to match the pink blush on his cheeks. He had been practicing but obviously not enough, Draco's jaw had dropped he knew that the question wasn't a first years one.
"Hmm. Well then, where would I find a bezoar?" Snape asked. A vicious smirk present on his face as he stalked his prey.
Harry remained silent, his head lowered towards the floor feeling a total failure.
"No. How about the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?" asked Snape as he stood directly in front of the first year.
A shake of his head was the only response. "Detention Mr. Potter for your inability to open your text book prior to entering my class."
"Can anyone answer my questions?" Professor Snape asked in voice that said there had better be.
Draco raised his hands sending an apologetic look to his friend. "Mr. Malfoy, if you would." Snape permitted.
"If you add powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood you would get the draught of Living Death. And where you would find a bezoar, it's a stone found in the stomach of a goat, which could save you from most poisons. Monkshood and wolfbane are the same plant, also known as aconite." Draco responded in order of the questions.
"Well done. Thirty points to Slytherin. It's pleasing to see that some people are wise enough to read their books prior to coming to my class. The rest of you would benefit by doing the same. Unless you wish to be like the rest of the dunderheads I usually teach," Snape said, while referring the last sentence to the Huffelpuff and Gryffindor side of the room. His gaze landed on Neville as he said 'dunderhead.'
The Slytherin students didn't laugh, either did the Huffelpuff's both of them were shocked. The Slytherin's were shocked about how Snape was treating a fellow Slytherin including Draco. The Huffelpuffs's because he was being nasty to Neville. Ravenclaws were just sitting there minding their own buisness. The Gryffindor's on the other hand laughed uproarously until it lost them fifteen points.
The class continued with a simple potion, a cure for boils. Weasley, blew up his cauldron, causing further deduction to Gryffindor's points. Longbottom had been paired with Ronald Weasley, landing them both in the infirmary after they had both started crying when boils appeared on them causing them pain.
For Harry potions was a nightmare, Snape was picking on him constantly, never giving him a break. He just walked away from Harry's potion. He could find no fault in it - it was perfect good enough for the hospital wing. Of course becuase Draco was paired with him he couldnt very well banish the potion. Or this was what most people thought. Inwardly Severus was very impressed with their potion it was good enough for the hospital wing. Which is where it would be by the end of the night. It saved him having to make more potions, for the Hosptial wing.
After the class was over, all the houses couldn't get out of there fast enough. Apart from Neville and Hermione who stayed back - Severus had disappeared into his office.
"Why was he like that?" asked Hermione softly.
"I don't understand it, my Aunt said that Snape had been friends with my mum…does he blame me for her death?" asked Harry softly.
Severus heard this and wanted nothing more than to just go back in there and tell him everything. It right that he should think that off him, but he held back for unknowing reasons.
"That's not it, it can't be they weren't first year questions! and they, I mean…I'll tell you later" said Draco, he couldn't let it slip that his father had also been friends with Lily too.
"You don't want us to know?" asked Hermione saddened.
"It would endanger my family" admitted Draco.
"What if we took an oath?" asked Neville; being pureblood he knew all about it, Severus was impressed the boy wasn't as stupid as he looked.
"What's an oath?" asked Hermione completely mortified, she felt better when she seen Harry nodding his head at her question.
"You can't tell anyone what was said, if you promise not to, with your magic if you do then you loose it" said Draco.
"Oh," said Harry "That's cool"
"Ok we will do it" said Hermione nodding her head she was apparently too curious for her own good.
Severus was wondering if he should go in there and then but he knew they would just go somewhere else to perform the oath.
The all of them made the oath, Hermione, Harry and Neville. Draco then relaxed smiling softly.
"My parents are spies, as is Severus, for the Dark Lord Voldemort." said Draco.
"Wow," said Hermione shocked, she knew the reputation they had.
"They have to keep up pretences, so we had to put a show on, a memory, because Voldemort can read people's thoughts its Occlumency and Legilimency. So I had to act scared of my father and tell him I was only befriending you to go and tell Voldemort everything" said Draco.
"What? That makes no sense" said Harry frowning.
"Its just like a role play, we did it because if Voldemort ever comes back and he will know I befriended you then we have a vision for him. So I won't end up killed on the spot never mind me my entire family for that matter." said Draco "He will expect Severus' memory too"
"I thought Harry had killed him" said Neville looking petrified.
"No they are marked, with a skull and tattoo, its still there, Voldemort isn't truly dead, dad said he had made sure he couldn't die performing rituals and all the rest of it" said Draco sadly.
"I'm dead" said Harry looking scared for the first time in what felt like a long time.
"No, because we are going to train! I know all the spells up till fifth year, together we are going to train and make sure you have a chance!" said Draco adamantly.
"Fifth year?! Wow" said Hermione looking amazed "I'd love to learn more spells!"
"I'm not very good" sighed Neville sadly.
"Then we shall make you good then Neville, we aren't going to do it without you" said Harry adamantly. "Let's do it"
"We will need to find an unused classroom, make that ours" said Draco.
"Will we get away with that?" asked Hermione frowning "I mean the caretaker?"
"He only patrols the used parts, we will used an unused part of Hogwarts" said Draco smugly.
"Then I'm in" grinned Neville.
"Me too" smiled Hermione.
"I don't mean to be rude but you could get your teeth made smaller with a bit of magic" said Draco softly.
"You can?" asked Hermione wide eyed, she had always wanted rid of her buck teeth even her parents couldn't get rid of them.
"Sure you can" said Draco smiling glad she wasn't offended.
"Bugger, there's a next class coming outside!" said Draco five seconds later.
"We are late for Herbology!" said Neville wide eyed, in trouble and he hadn't been there a day.
"Come on!" said Hermione getting out of the classroom and bolting down the corridor outside and all the way towards the greenhouse. By the time they had gotten there they were completely exhausted.
"Were just in time" panted Harry watching the last of the class enter the green house, they slipped in breathing heavily and stood together.
