(A/N) Thanks for the three reviews I have received so far! I would love to have more! *Hint hint!*

Balevagorien looked at Lostiaiel, what exactly was Snape's version of 'unusual'?

Maegcair had the usual smirk on his face. The three girls had no doubt that Snape had already told him. The Gryffindors glanced at the Potions master fearfully, for they too had seen Maegcair's smug face and the rest of the Slytherins who didn't look to bothered. Snape cleared his throat and their complete attention was drawn back to him. Snape had that gift.

"For the first term of this year, you will be having extra Potions lessons to prepare you for the new Potions exams that you will take just before Christmas. This is a new law, meaning that you and years below you will have to take it."

None of the Gryffindors said anything, they were simply staring at him, horror-struck except perhaps Imcamiel who didn't seem to mind too much. The Slytherins were all smiling. They obviously new, which subjects Potions was over taking. And the Gryffindors were now dreading the next part.

Snape continued, "Now, in order to give these extra lessons, you will have to drop some, this choice was made by the school but of course, the ministry of magic will have made sure you carry on studying vital subjects, for example, Defence against the dark arts." Snape's mouth twitched. He carried on, "At the end of this two hour lesson, I will hand out your new timetables and you can get used to this minor adjustment." He smiled.

This depressed the Gryffindors even more, Snape new exactly how to get them down and he did by using simple phrases like: 'Two hour lesson' reminding them they had a long wait till they could get out.

Imcamiel looked as if Snape had told her Crookshanks had died. "So, so your saying we have to learn these new timetables all over again?" She said looking shocked.

"Yes, that is exactly what I am saying, do you have a problem with that?" Snape said smiling wider now.

"No, no I don't professor." Imcamiel stuttered.

"Good. Now, please get out your text books, we will be taking notes from page 437."

The class sighed and slowly got out their books and a low murmur spread out across the class and people began to talk. The Slytherins sounded excited; their talk was quick and high. The Gryffindors were practically in the depths of despair.

"What stupid, foolish, deranged, prat decided to have us taking more Potions lessons?" Balevagorien groaned to her two best friends.

"I know." Lostiaiel said. "Someone who has had a memory charm put on them so they can't remember what hell we are put through." She said.

"Well, lets hope that twit starts remembering. This is so unfair. It just gives Snape more chances to take points from us." Dinthondiel said angrily.

"GOD! He would have to give us the damn timetables after the lesson wouldn't he? More bloody suspense." Tarakal could be heard saying to Alkithion.

Alkithion nodded he seemed to annoyed to speak right now. Lostiaiel looked at him sympathetically. Most people new that Snape despised Alkithion more than he did any Gryffindor (his most hated house.)

Balevagorien was also looking at him, she tried to lighten the mood for his sake and her friends. "Anyway, maybe it means we drop that so-called- subject Divination!" She said enthusiastically.

Dinthondiel saw what she was doing and joined in. "Yep!" She said with a half forced smile. "Just think, no more glittering insect!"

Alkithion and some of the other Gryffindors managed small laughs, but they weren't forced. But Alkbelethien and Buleechoriel scowled.

"You're just trying to impress Alkithion and Tarakal!" Alkbelethien said.

At this, the three girls couldn't help but laugh. "You're just defending your beloved glitter bug!" Lostiaiel said laughing, which caused more because of her rhyming.

"And what is all this about?" Snape said and stood right behind Balevagorien. He looked annoyed to see Gryffindors happy. Now, nobody was smiling. "Well, Balevagorien," Snape said stressing the last part of her name, making her skin crawl. "Lets see, how much work you have done today." He said smiling nastily again.

Baleva's eyes widened. Dinthondiel looked at how much she had written. Some how she didn't think two lines would be enough to satisfy Professor Snape. Lostiaiel also looked at how much Baleva had done, how could she get one of her best friends out of this one? She began to think fast.

(A/N) I know I might have made some mistakes here, it is quite confusing to write just as it is to read! Please make your comments when you review. Now, I need to think of a way for Lostiaiel to get Balevagorien out of trouble!
