I Always forget this. Disclaimer, I do not and never will own Harry Potter, do I look like JKR. Also Plz Review.
"Hello Class." said Professor Slughorn as Harry opened the door and set next to Remus. Apparently harry was the last person to come. Harry's first impression was that Slughorn truly looked like a slug.
"Hi." The class mumbled.
"So today we will begin making various antidotes. Here is a vial of a weak poison.' He said, lifting his hand to show them.' And you must creatively make your own antidote. Do you understand class?" He asked. Most people nodded their heads, somewhat depressedly and Lily said "Yes, sir." , enthusiastically.
"Now that's more like it." Slughorn said jovially, looking at Lily.
"Partners will be Future Potter and Lily, Severus and Mulciber, Mr. Potter and Sirius, Remus and Avery, Mary and Pettigrew." On the most part the partners seemed to be happy with each other, but Remus clearly did not want to be with Avery. 'Why does the name Avery ring a bell?' Harry thought, before realizing that Avery was the one Voldemort tortured during his rebirth. He was clearly a pathetic death eater, judging by his skills in class. Harry walked over to Lily and sat next to her. She smiled and beckoned for him to come closer.
"Hi." She said, smiling with her red hair dancing behind her.
"Hello." He answered.
"So are you good at potions or should I do most of the work?" She asked.
"I'm terrible." He answered gloomily. He didn't want his mom to think low of him.
"It's fine, I can teach you." She answered kindly. Harry's heat jumped and did a few flips, more time to spend with his mom, of course, she didn't know that.
"Thanks Lily." He said. She beamed at him.
"So anyways the first rule of experimenting with antidotes is always have a proven antidote handy, especially a bezoar." She told him like a teacher.
"Yes Madam." He said, like a soldier. She playfully told him to shut up and slapped him on the back. Harry first experimented with various herbs and then with dead beetles, which grossed him out, though his mother seemed fine with it. He later sneaked in a piece of bezoar when Lily wasn't looking, as he knew she wouldn't approve of the 'cheating' otherwise.
"How are you not grossed out by the dead and ground beetles?" He asked his mom, astonished.
"Why would I be grossed out, their cool." Lily said indignantly.
"We are going to drink this! We are drinking ground beetles! Doesn't that gross you out?" Harry asked.
"When you put it like that it does sound gross." Lily admitted. Meanwhile the marauders were talking in hushed voices, not at all focusing on their projects.
"How is this fair, once again Harry and Lily get to work together." James said, slightly green with envy.
"Is little Prongsie getting jealous that his sonnie gets to be friends so easily with his lovie, dear Lily." Sirius taunted in a baby voice.
"Im not jealous!" James sputtered out, which was not at all convincing.
"Yeah, right." Sirius said.
"Ok, I'm jealous, but it's not fair!" James admitted.
"Relax Prongs, it's just your son, and for all we know she may be his mother." Remus said consolingly.
"You're right Moony." James said, calming down a bit.
"So do you have any ideas how I can get in Evans's good book?" James asked.
"Maybe you should show-off less, and not torment Snape" Remus suggested.
"What's the fun in that?"
"Do you want her or not"
"I suppose"
"Are you boys working?" Slughorn asked. James jolted back to reality.
"Yes, sir." Sirius said hastily, Slughorn did not seem convinced. Back with Harry and Lily-
"Put three teaspoons of ground wolfsbane, and stir twice." Lily told Harry.
"Ok, and do you want me to stir clockwise or counter-clockwise?"
"Both, and don't forget to take a sniff, if it smells like rotten eggs its good, if it smells like roses it needs four ounces of Essense of Fart or three rotten eggs." She warned. Harry then took a sniff, and it didn't smell like rotten eggs at all, it smelled even worse, spoiled Neem oil. He nearly threw up.
"Lily, what to do if it smells like neem oil?" Harry asked.
"I'm not sure, maybe add a fusion of yew and cockroach powder?" She suggested.
"I'll try." The potion ended up exploding, with both of them sustaining burns, but it turned out to work. 'At least it works.' He thought.
"Amazing job Lily!" Slughorn said. "Nine and a half out of ten!" Severus gave him a sour look, as he and Mulciber only got a 8 out of ten, which Harry thought was more due to Mulciber than Snape. Snape was a future Potion's master after all... Slughorn seemed to ignore Harry until asking.
"Who won Slycus's duel, and who were the two final fighters?"
"Harry won sir, and Harry and Severus were the final fighters." Remus answered. Slughorn looked at Harry in surprise.
"You?" He asked. "Well that was surprising. But I'm sure you have some skill then." Slughorn said consolingly, trying to hide his surprise.
"Yes, he does sir, he beat me in a very creative way and even gave Severus severe injuries without even trying." Lily praised. Harry blushed a lot.
"You're exaggerating." Harry mumbled.
"No, I'm not!" Lily said fiercely. Harry decided not to argue. Slughorn first tested their potion on Harry, then Snape, it worked amazingly but had side-affects such as dizziness and nausea. Slughorn spent the next ten minutes praising Lily and Harry, and showing how Snape barely saved a failing potion, which he said, was Mulciber's fault.
"Once again, Severus and Lily show their brilliance." He praised. James mumbled something.
"Did you say something Mr. Potter?" Slughorn asked.
"No, sir." James answered ashamedly. Lily and Severus sniggered.
"Well look at the time' Slughorn said, pointing at the clock. 'It's time for you guys to leave, see how time has flown." He said jovially. Harry did not at all think time flew. The rest of the class seemed to agree.
