Chapter Eight: The Potions Master.
In the morning a very tired Harry went down to breakfast with Ron and Hermione. They sat down at the Gryffindor table in the main table and started to tuck into a hearty breakfast. Ron, as usual, looked like he couldn't get enough to eat. Harry was thinking that there was still something not quite right at the staff table, when their timetables arrived.
"Great," Ron groaned, "Double Potions with the Slytherins first thing on a Monday morning. Just great."
Harry was too busy agreeing with Ron to realise the obvious. However, Hermione quickly stated it for them.
"How can we have potions? There's no Potions teacher!"
As if he had read their mind, Professor Dumbledore stood up to make an announcement.
"I'm sure many of you have realised when you looked at your timetables that there is no Potions teacher. So I will now tell you who will be taking those lessons for this year. I am very pleased to announce that the Potions Master for this year will be Professor… Dumbledore!"
There was a sudden silence, then cheering. Many of the students had to get over the shock that Dumbledore was actually taking a subject before they started cheering. The Slytherins were looking very disappointed, as they knew that Dumbledore, like McGonagall, would be a lot fairer than Professor Snape. The Gryffindors of course, were extremely pleased.
"Who knows, I might actually enjoy Potions now!" Ron said to Harry over the cheering.
Harry also agreed with Ron. It wasn't that they found Potions impossible, it was because of Snape that they did not enjoy it. Maybe with Dumbledore teaching them they would find it more enjoyable. He then noticed Hermione was in hysterics. Asking her what she was laughing about, she told him that,
"Neville just said, 'Maybe I won't melt so many cauldrons!'"
Personally, Harry thought that Neville would still melt some cauldrons, but maybe not so many. His theory about Neville being so bad at Potions was that Snape made him very nervous, so he made silly mistakes.
After breakfast, the Fifth Year Gryffindors made their way down to the dungeons for their first Potions with their new Potions Master, Professor Albus Dumbledore.
