Here is the next chapter. I hope you like it. Please read and review thanks love Hermione xxx
Severus went down to his office where the promised budget appeared there in a sack for him to use. He'd never asked to update his rooms before so had asked for ten thousand galleons which had been granted to him. Taking out the owl order catalogue he put in an express order for twenty new brewing tables and matching chairs. They would be there in two hours and in enough time for his next lesson which was great. He turned to the walls with a huge scowl on his face and set about deeply cleaning them with magic until they shone. He took fifteen minutes in all to do it as they had been caked in hundreds of years' worth of grime. Then he turned his attention to the windows which he hadn't even truly seen as they too had been blacked out by hundreds of years' worth of potions residue. He took the time to clean them and the light fixtures and floors. At last his room looked clean now.
He carefully broke down the old rickety chairs and tables and chopped them in such a way that they could go into the fire and called on the Hogwarts house elves to place them in any fireplace they could find until all the wood in the large pile was gone. He started on looking through his stores to see what he actually had and sighed as he realised it was a hot mess in there. Then he got an idea for his classroom and smiled brightly. This would be amazing and work well. He charmed one empty wall to contain a special leaver which went from one to seven. When he selected one for example for the first years the appropriate number of lockers would appear for each one to use to store their own personal ingredients. It would mean no one could forget their ingredient or something. Also as he had the money he filled each one with new potions ingredients in each year level so they could add their own stuff and then not risk running out of them which many people did. Against the other back wall he placed brand new shelving to store his spare cauldrons on. The new tables and chairs arrived two hours later and he put them up in joy. His classroom now looked better and way safer too.
Elsewhere of course the owls loaded with packages and howlers circled the school frantically looking for the person to whom their gifts and things should go but couldn't find their rooms as it was hidden from owls. When Harry and Draco emerged an hour later they screamed as hundreds of owls approached them offloading their packages, howlers and a lot of poop making Draco scowl deeply and Harry shudder in disgust as he cleaned them up. There was so many packages however that they had to get the elves to help them in bringing them back to the room. The elves were faster however and had it done in no time. They headed down to potions and gasped at how clean and safe it now looked.
"Come in now! As you can see this room has been cleaned up and made safe by me and on the theme of safety today we won't be brewing a potion but taking a potion together. I will start us off and then one by one you will you take the potion in front of you. For most of you it will do nothing but if someone emits a blast sound we will know more!" he instructed as Hermione raised her eyebrows in shock but relaxed when she saw him take the potion and that nothing bad had happened to him either. One by one they all took the potion with nothing happening to them. When she took the potion a huge blast sounded from her bum and she burped really loudly whilst looking highly disorientated. Suddenly she burst into tears and was inconsolable as Severus looked on with some pity now instead of his usual ire.
"Miss Granger this potion clears any potions in our systems so we may be free and safe of the dangers these pose. You had a potion in your system which was removed. Can you please calm down and inform me why you are crying? Do you know who gave you the potion?" he asked as she summoned a tissue and wiped her eyes hastily.
"Yes sir I know who gave me the potion but I have given him a vow to not tell anyone it was him so I can't tell you who it was. I am crying because I did something which was not normal yesterday and the person I did this with may think I'm always like that which I'm not honestly. I'm a good girl I swear!" she said as he looked a bit stunned.
"Would you consent to me removing a memory of what you did yesterday and then we can sort it out together?" he asked and as she was too distraught by everything she merely agreed. He removed not only the memory of her taking the potion and giving Albus the vow but her lewd experiences in the Library with Cormac McLaggan. She didn't even know he'd taken that part of the memory so in essence she wasn't breaking her vow to Albus and would be fine. A parchment piece appeared there with what the potion had been and what it had been designed to do. As they moved through the classroom Lavender Brown also reacted. She however was stunned thoroughly.
"But sir I've not taken any potions. I reckon I'd know if I had, don't you think?" she asked him seriously.
"Miss Brown it is very likely you could have been dosed without your knowledge and this parchment piece here tells me that you have been given a contraceptive brew without your knowledge most likely from your mother. She may not have wished to alarm you. I'm sure she had your best interests at heart. I can procure another potion for you later should you need it. Everyone look at your potion bottles now!" he instructed holding his up in front of him.
"There you will see a number which corresponds to the wall over here. There is a lever here saying five as you are year fives. I will pull it like so and as you can see lockers appear. Whichever locker corresponds to the number on your jar is yours for the next year. You will have a key to access it and inside it you should store all of your potions supplies. There are extra potions ingredients in them for each of you courtesy of the school. Now then please read chapter two of your books while I view the memory pertaining to Miss Granger!" he instructed entering the memory and frowning at Albus and indeed the way he was speaking to her.
He was way out of line and highly inappropriate with her. He then saw her and Cormac being intimate all over the library and fought to gag all the way through. In fact he nearly threw up but about just managed to hold himself. In the memory Cormac was telling her he wasn't sure it was ok for them to be doing it and she kept saying to him less talking and more fucking and he was obliging her. He did however seem genuinely shocked even going so far as to tell her he didn't think she was one of those girls. He emerged from the memory and everyone looked at his pale face in awe. What in the hell had he seen?
"Well Miss Granger I can see why you need my help. I will not judge you harshly but the person who gave the potion was highly irresponsible to give you a potion he had no idea about. I mean I would assume whoever he was he didn't know how it worked otherwise he'd not have been so reckless!" he snapped angry at Albus for causing him more problems.
"You don't understand sir. I wanted to take it. I consented to take it. I would take it again if he asked me but I do need your help with the other guy involved in this. I need to explain myself to him if you get my drift!" she said as he exhaled loudly. Things were never easy for him were they? This would certainly be fun.
