Harry Potter was a special and extraordinary person in many ways. At the age of one, his name became famous around the wizarding world for causing the disappearance of the most feared wizard of the time. At age eleven, Harry discovered a secret that would change his life forever. The secret revealed that Harry was a wizard. That was three years ago when Harry realized that he had been selected to attend the most prestigious wizard school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In his first year at Hogwarts, Harry had been selected to play on the Gryffindor quidditch. Since then, he had been the seeker for the team. Quidditch was the wizard sport played in the air on broomsticks. Harry had been having the time of his life and presently he was in his fourth year at Hogwarts.
It had only been a week since Harry had arrived at Hogwarts when he found himself and his two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, in Headmaster Albus Dumbledore's office. Harry knew that they were in trouble for unfair reasons but decided not to utter a word. On the first day back at Hogwarts, Harry's least favorite teacher, Professor Snape, the instructor of Potions, decided to surprise his students and give them a quiz on the material they had had to read during vacation. Harry saw the blazing gleam in Snape's eye as he saw his students groan with disappointment.
"Quiet down, there's no need to panic. This test will only be the main factor that will determine your grade this marking period. I suppose all of you thought you would relax during vacation and not even open up a few books," said Snape grinning evilly.
A worried Hermione interrupted Snape and said, "Actually, Professor, I remember quite clearly that you instructed us on the day before vacation that we were to read Creating Complex Potions and write a report using two rolls of parchment. Naturally I have four rolls, but you never mentioned an exam!"
Snape inhaled loudly and said, "Excuse me, Miss Granger, but I did not permit you to speak. I do believe that I am the teacher in this classroom. Since you have wasted ten minutes of class time, Gryffindor will lose ten points."
Gryffindor was one of the four houses at Hogwarts. The houses were dormitories where the students could play games in the recreation center, do their homework and study in the working section, and sleep at night in their sleeping quarters. The students lived in dormitories, which were called houses.
The other houses were Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house had an admirable history and each had produced many remarkable witches and wizards. It was thought by many of the students that the Gryffindor house was the greatest, and it was rumored that even Headmaster Dumbledore was in Gryffindor as a child. However, it was common knowledge that the rough, tough and mean group was in the Slytherin house. Every witch and wizard that had turned to the dark and evil side were in the Slytherin house as children. When Harry entered Hogwarts in his first year, a hat called the Sorting Hat was placed on his head, and this determined which house he would be in for the next seven years at Hogwarts. This process was used for every first year student.
Each house had a leader, and the head of the Gryffindor house was Professor McGonagall. She had said to the new Hogwarts students on their first day of school, "Achievements will earn your house points, while any rule-breaking will result in the loss of house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honor."
In the Potions class, groans from members of the Gryffindor house echoed in the classroom but were droned out by the cheers from the Slytherines. The class once again became noisy because the students were frantically looking for quill pens and parchment.
Snape said, "When I say begin, turn over the packet and start. You will have thirty minutes, starting now. If I catch any wondering eyes, you all will be very sorry." Snape stared straight in Harry's direction as he spoke.
Harry's enemy, Draco Malfoy, hissed, "You heard the Professor, Potter, stop looking at my paper." Malfoy and his posse, consisting of the idiotic Crabbe and moronic Goyle, began to laugh hysterically.
Harry retorted, "Malfoy, you're as stupid and ignorant as a sponge. Anybody smart enough would think twice before copying off of you!"
Malfoy stopped grinning and immediately raised his hand. Professor Snape came over and Malfoy said, "Sorry to disturb you, sir, but Potter has been distracting me and I am unable to focus because he insists on chatting with the other students."
"What? I didn't do that, Malfoy, you lying cheater," shouted Harry angrily.
"Excuse me Potter, but as the licensed teacher present I will determine what occurred. I have been observing your behavior, Potter, and numerous times I have noticed that you had been talking when I specified that everyone should remain quiet."
Harry responded, "But sir, it was Malfoy who kept asking me questions."
Ron whispered to Harry and said, "Snape's the head of the Slytherin House. He always favors trash like Malfoy just because he's a Slytherin."
"Enough," snarled Snape. "You have wasted my time and the classes. Since you have no respect for me and for your peers, get out of my class and take your Granger and Weasley with you." Smoke was practically steaming out from Snape's ears.
Harry, angry at the unfairness stood up and said, "Ron didn't do anything. Why does he have to come? Hermione just asked a question."
"Do not question me," threatened Snape. "GET OUT. I am the teacher and I do not need to be questioned by some idiotic students."
Harry, Hermione, and Ron stood up to leave the classroom when Snape said, "Oh, and Potter, due to your disrespectful behavior, I will see to it that you are taken off the Gryffindor Quidditch team until you learn to behave yourself."
"Excuse me? That's not fair!"
"I'll decided that. Leave and go to the Headmaster's office and I'll meet you there after class."
