Part 3
Early the next day Harry woke up. He got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast with Ron without getting lost. After breakfast, they went to their classes. In Transfiguration, Harry was the first one to tern his match into a needle, after taking extensive notes. Friday at breakfast Harry received a letter from Sirius.
Dear Harry,
Thank you for finding Peter, and releasing me. I don't know how you figured it out but I'm thankful that you did. You will be able to come live with me this summer. I'll have my house ready for you. How're you? last time I saw you, you were a baby. I think I'll be able to come up to Hogworts and talk with you for a while, but I'm not sure when. See you later,
Sirius
This letter improved Harry's mood greatly. His next class was double Potions with the Slytherins. Snape started the class with a roll call. Then he went into that lecture about potion making that we all know. (A/N: you know, the one from book 1) then he said "Potter! What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
"you would get a sleeping potion so powerful, it is called the Draught of Living Death" Harry answered before Hermione could put her hand in the air. She looked disappointed, but not as much as Snape. "lets give you another question. Where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar?" Snape asked again. "a bezoar is a stone that can be taken from the stomach of a goat, and will save you from most poisons" Harry answered again.
Snape was angry now "what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?"
Once again Harry answered "they are the same plant also known as aconite."
Snape kept questioning Harry until the end of class. He even started asking him about stuff taught in second year, but Harry answered them all correctly. At the end of class Snape took off 5 points "for knowing too much". When Hermione said that knowing too much wasn't a bad thing he took off 5 points more "for arguing with a teacher".
On Monday Harry saw a notice that said that there will be flying lessons on Wednesday.
When Wednesday came the Gryffindor first years went onto the grounds and waited for Madam Hooch to show up. When she did they all started learning how to hold their brooms. "okay. On my whistle, kick of the ground hard, rise into the air about 3 feet then come back down. On my whistle 1... 2..." but Neville, being his clumsy self, kicked off on two. He went straight up into the air. Then he fell off his broom and onto the ground. There was a crunching noise as he fell on the ground and Madame Hooch took him to the hospital wing. Malfoy laughed at Neville for a while. Then he saw the Remembrall, grabbed it, and took off. Harry shouted "give it to me Malfoy!" "why don't I leave it some where for Longbottom to find it, like up a tree?" Malfoy answered, and flew near a tree. "give it HERE!" Harry said again. "then why don't you come get it?". Harry grabbed his broom and kicked off. Malfoy threw the Remembrall into the air. Harry followed the ball then caught it two feet from the ground, then turned his broom up again and spiraled up, not even scratching himself. Then Professor McGonagall came onto the grounds.
"HARRY POTTER!"
"but professor! It was Malfoy who..."
"quiet Mr. Weasly"
"but Malfoy..."
"that's enough, Ms. Patil"
"it was..."
"I said ENOUGH, Mr. Weasly"
Harry landed and followed Professor McGonagall into the castle. Harry was scarred, what if weren't going to let him onto the Quidditch team? But his worries were for nothing. She led him to the Charms classroom. She knocked on the door and said "professor Flitwick, could I borrow Wood for a moment?"
Oliver Wood came out, looking puzzled. Harry relaxed immediately.
