As the day progressed
people would stare at Kay and Harry as they went down the corridor to classes
with Hermione and Ron. Some of the, possible the younger, students would point
then start to gossip.
"That's it I can't take
it!" Kay exclaimed running faster then the other three.
"Hey, wait up!" Harry
yelled. The three started to run, behind her, to the dungeons for Potions. When
they reached the dungeon Kay was already sitting down, not even panting like
the others.
"How…can…you run…so fast?"
Ron asked clutching a stitch in his side.
"I-er-run a lot."
"Oh." he panted sitting
down.
"Quiet!" Snape yelled
aiming it at the Gryffindors. "Today we will be making a potion even you can
make, or I should say should be able to make, Longbottom. It is called the
Firenze Potion. Turn to page 257." there were a few groans but the class did as
they were told.
"The Firenze Potion
gives the user the ability to make fire with a touch of the hand, but only
lasts for half an hour. Why would anyone want to do that?" Kay read from
the book to Hermione.
"Beats me, guess they would
want to use it to light a fire to something."
"Well, obviously. Anyway,
let's get to making this potion."
"You actually enjoy
Potions?"
"What's wrong with that?
Potions are fun, well to me anyway."
"You think their fun?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Never mind."
"Hatter, my office please."
A voice said from behind.
"Huh? Oh, that. Coming
Professor." Kay got up and followed him to his office.
"What does he want
Hermione?" Harry asked.
"I don't know Harry."
"Let's go and see."
"How Harry?"
Harry held out a Filibuster
Firework.
"No Harry, no. We could get
expelled!"
It was too late, Harry had
sent the firework into the air and it had exploded in Malfoys potion. Harry and Ron both got up and went to the
door of his office, the door was open and they could hear the conversation.
"Hatter, here is your
potion. Drink it fast, we have a class." He handed her a smoking goblet.
Kay held he nose as she
drank the potion. "Blegh!"
"I want to see what all the
commotion is, stay here Hatter." he started for the door and Harry and Ron ran,
but then came back.
"Psst, Kay!" Harry
whispered.
"Harry what are you doing
here? Go back."
"What was that potion you
just drank?"
"Uh-er-well." she
stuttered.
"None of your business
Potter." Professor Snape said, surprising them all. Especially Kay who jumped
so much she actually knocked over the remaining potion.
"Uh-oh. Sorry Professor."
she said.
"Hatter, Potter, Weasley,
DETENTION!"
"But, but I" she stuttered
thinking it wasn't fair.
"GO!"
"I'm going. I'm going." Kay
said walking but then running away from the crime scene.
"I can't believe he gave
me, me a detention!"
"Don't complain Kay, it'll
make it even worse."
"This is all your fault,
Harry Potter!"
"My fault! My fault!"
"Yes your fault! If you
hadn't of been spying on me, Snape would've never of scared me and I wouldn't
have spilled the potion!"
"Just because you have
jumpy nerves doesn't mean it's my fault!"
"I don't have jumpy nerves
I— "
"If Miss. Hatter and MR.
Potter would stop fighting with each other we could see if Longbottom's potion
worked!" Snape yelled.
They immediately shut up.
"Now, if we give this potion to his toad, it should turn a bright orange and
start to spit fire. If it doesn't is toad will shrink."
The Gryffindors held their
breaths as the Slytherins all sniggered. Snape put two drops on the toad and
stopped. The toad was now turning bright red and starting to spit tiny little
fireballs. The Gryffindors clapped while the Slytherins all looked unhappy that
it hadn't shrunk.

"I still blame you Harry!
IT WAS YOUR FAULT!"
"IT WASN'T MY FAULT YOU GOT
A DETENTION KAY!"
"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT HARRY
POTTER! ADMIT IT!"
"IT WAS NOT!"
"WAS TOO!"
"WAS NOT"
"WAS TOO!"
"WAS NOT!"
""WAS TOO!"
"Will you two stop
fighting? We have a Quidditch game tomorrow and you two need to make up!"
George Weasley yelled from the common room at Kay and Harry who were just
coming in.
"Only if he apologizes for
getting me a detention, George!"
"It wasn't my fault Kayla!
What were you doing drinking that potion Snape gave you?" Harry yelled back.
"Harry, you want the truth,
fine! I'M SICK, OKAY! THEY DON'T THINK I'LL MAKE IT, OKAY! SNAPES BEEN MAKING
THAT POTION SO IT'LL SUSTAIN ME UNTIL THEY CAN FIND A CURE!"
"Oh, Kay. I'm sorry."
"Yeah, well it's a little
to late for that Harry." She said storming off to the girls dormitory.
"My God, the poor girl. You
shouldn't of made her say that out loud." Alicia said.
"I'm sorry, Kay." Harry
whispered to himself.
