Chapter 38: The New Potions Master
Now that the classes were chosen for the new term Professor McGonagall had a new thing to add to their minds. William and Hermione had entered the Great Hall and the first thing that Hermione noticed was a new teacher setting where Professor Snape usually sat. She nudged William to get his attention and he noticed the new teacher as well.
"I wonder who he is." Hermione asked.
"I think that Professor McGonagall might give us that answer," William said and both of them sat down.
Sure enough Professor McGonagall did stand up.
"Since all of you know that Professor Snape has been attacked I have asked Professor Slughorn to take the post of Potions Master and Head of Slytherin House. I hope that all of you make him feel welcomed back."
Everyone clapped but the Slytherin's clapped the hardest. Both Hermione and William had no idea what to expect from this new Professor.
Of course two days later they had him for their first Potions Lesson. Hermione and William took their places on the Ravenclaw side of the room and waited for the rest of the class. When everyone finally arrived and sat, Professor Slughorn appeared.
"Hello, class," he called out cheerfully. "My name is Professor Slughorn and today we're going to start on the Animagi Draft."
Hermione raised her hand.
"Yes Miss-."
"Snape," Hermione finished which brought a smile to his face.
"I've heard a great deal about you, Miss Snape," Slughorn told her. "Your father's notes spoke highly of you. I'm pleased that he finally had a family of his own. Fine Potion Brewer when he was in school."
Hermione went pink upon hearing this.
"Now what's your question?" he asked.
"Well the potion that you want us to make is a little advance," she said.
"Well, yes, it is," Slughorn admitted. "But Ravenclaw's seem to have a knack of brewing potions that are complicated. Now I'll hand out some of the ingredence and then we'll get started."
The potion turned out to be a little more advance then what William was use to. However he managed to produce a good solution and Professor Slughorn came around to check on everyone. Once they were finished he explained what the Draught could do.
"It can turn you into any animal that you have a connection to. I'm sure that there is an animal in each of us. Now I'm going to hand out a completed Animagi Draft to each of you and I want you to try it and record your experiences. Worth fifty points to each student for each completed assignment. Now bottle your samples and turn them in for grading."
Everyone hurried to bottle there's and then Slughorn handed them a sample of his potion. When William got his he slid it in his bag and then everyone was allowed to leave.
