Chapter 12
Potions And Snape
The next morning was well very full of life. Chad and Audra kept sending Renee looks and grinning at each other, and Harry just scowled a lot. Renee frowned at her friends antics and went down to the Great Hall. She ate her breakfast peacefully, with the exception of having a curse thrown at her. The curse amazingly enough, did not come from the Slytherins, but from Gryfyndor. Luckily, Renee had just gotten up, to go to Potions.
The person (a second year) that had sent the curse was quickly given a talking to by Professor McGonagal. Renee got to Potions early, not at all surprised to see that Ron and Harry there, along with Chad and Audra. Harry kept giving her looks that could have killed her and once again Chad and Audra were smiling at each other.
Finally Renee asked, "Why are you two smiling like idiots?"
"No reason. So how was your er, date last night?" Chad asked.
"Date? Oh, you mean with Draco? Yeah. We're going out now...." She trailed off dreamily.
"You know that he is sworn enemy of Harry Potter and friends, right?" Audra asked still smirking.
"And this matters to me, because?" She asked.
"You do realize that right at this moment in time he's glaring at you," Chad said.
Renee looked up and saw that he was giving her evil glares. Smiling brightly she waved to him energetically. He in turn flipped her off. Hermonie was appalled at his behavior. She grabbed his ear and pulled him out of the class room. They could hear the conversation get louder and louder, until it was to the point that they were yelling at each other.
"SO? IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO SHE GOES OUT WITH OR IS FRIENDS WITH!!"
"YES IT DOES! SHE'S GOING OUT WITH MALFOY! EVERYONE KNOWS HE'S A FREAKING DEATH EATER. AT LEAST HIS FATHER IS!"
"YOU ARE ACTING LIKE A JEALOUS PRAT! I DON'T KNOW WHY YOUR ACTING THIS WAY, BUT YOU'VE BEEN LIKE IT FOR TWO DAYS!"
Suddenly there was no more yelling and whatever was about to be said in response had been cut off, when Draco walked into the room. Ron glared at him just because he could and Draco could have really cared less. He had almost every word Harry had said.
Both Harry and Ron both entered the room, looking slightly flushed. Not out of embarrassment, but of anger. Ron sat in between the two, in hopes that they didn't start to fight. Renee looked at Audra who in turn looked at Chad.
"I did that?"
This caused Audra and Chad to burst out into laughter. The rest of the students looked at them as if they were insane. They just may very well be. Well Renee was, but everyone had such high hopes for Chad and Audra.
"I think you are the latest news. I've heard just about everyone talk about you, and Draco," Chad said.
"Damn. No matter how hard you try, the news that your dating someone always spreads... I wonder why, though, everyone in Gryfyndor hates me so?" Renee said, looking like she actually didn't know.
At this Harry turned around and spoke, "Everyone hates you so, because you are a traitor."
"That all? I mean you did call her some pretty colorful names yesterday," Chad said, grinning.
Yeah, Chad was still up to all his old ways of life. Causing trouble for everyone. Harry was just about to say something when Professor Snape walked in. The class was silent. They listened to the instructions for the day and set about to make the potion that made you an infant again, and supposedly wore off on depending how much you had. They had done this type of potion before, in the second or third year, so it was a piece of cake for Hermonie and Ron. Harry was working with Renee, much to his protests. Chad and Audra seemed to be doing well, too.
They were just about to add the last ingredient when a piece of Harry's hair fell into the potion. It didn't seem to have much affect on the potion, so Renee added the last ingredient. Harry stirred it, not once talking to Renee.
Renee muttered something in a language that Harry didn't understand. Then Chad walked over to her and stared at the potion, as if thinking about something important. Then he dropped a red phoenix feather into the potion. Harry was horrified, they had just screwed up the potion.
The potion bubbled and popped. The once purple potion was now turning to a deep red. Professor Snape, stopped in front of there potion. The potion gave a rather loud gurgle and then simmered down, the top of the potion smooth. It was still a deep red though.
They had thought that the potion, had stopped bubbling. As Professor Snape was just about to say something, the potion gave a loud crack and started to bubble again. The potion boiled over the top of the cauldron, and splashed all over the floor. It made the floor look as if it were stained with blood.
Snape then yelled to the class who by this time was staring at Renee and Harry, "EVERY ONE DUCK!"
Everyone in the class did as he said. There then was a loud whistling sound and then everything was silent. No one spoke, no cauldrons boiled over, or even boiled. There was no light in the room, the dungeons were completely black. Then there was a muffled "Oomph."
Then a female voice saying, "James, get off of me!"
Then a male voice spoke, "I'm sorry, dear. It's not like I exactly have a choice, in the matter of falling on top of you!"
Chad was the first to come to his senses. "Lumos."
The room was suddenly light with one light. Renee then managed to light the torches. Once the room was once again filled with light, everyone saw two adults standing in the front of the class room. Harry gaped, and Draco stared. As did the rest of the class.
Renee, Chad, and Audra looked at the mess they had made. They had thought that they were going to get a detention. Renee was about to speak, when she received a swift elbow in the side. Grunting she looked toward the front of the class. There she saw two adults. One that had wild jet black hair, was rather tall and wore black glasses. He looked remarkably like Harry Potter. The only difference was that his eyes were brown and not green.
The woman was slightly shorter and had bright green eyes. Her long red was tangled and in knots on her back. Both were wearing black wizard robes. At this moment in time they were brushing dust off of themselves.
Renee turned to Chad and said, "I think we did something...bad."
Audra said her voice barley above a whisper, "You brought back the Potters."
"I...we...uh..what?" Chad stuttered.
"Brought back the dead? No way..."
As much as the two tried to deny it they both knew it was the truth. Although Chad knew more then Renee did, he still knew that what they did wasn't just some illusion. James, looked around the class and stared at the class, his eyes landed on Harry.
"Harry?" He asked.
"No, it can't be...your...your dead," Harry whispered.
"What Harry? Where? Is he okay? We haven't seen him in ages. Well there you are! Are you going to greet us or not?" Lily asked.
Harry didn't stop to think. He ran to both his parents and hugged them. He hugged him as tightly as he could. There were tears coming down each person's face. It was a happy reunion. Draco moved toward Renee and put his arm around her.
"Potter, has his family.... Wish I could say the same for me."
"But, don't you....?"
"Let's not talk about this now. I promise to tell you later," he said.
Professor Snape, finally managed to regain his composure. Coolly he walked over to where the happy family stood. Audra winced. Standing up, she found that she had just sat on something pointy.
Pulling the thing from beneath her, she found it was a sword. It was in fact the same sword Renee had found earlier while exploring. Looking at it she handed it to Chad, he began to wave it around like a mad man. After Renee and Draco had been hit in the face several times by the light reflecting off of it, Draco grabbed it from his hand. He put it on the table and, then watched the scene in front of him.
Snape, by this time managed to talk to James. James had a sour look on his face, as if he didn't like what Snape was saying. Then Lily tugged on his arm. James looked at her, for a moment then agreed with whatever Snape was saying.
The Potter family left the room. Professor Snape, on the other hand stayed in the classroom, and looked at Renee, Chad, Audra and Draco.
"Hernandaz, McClellan, go to Dumbleodre's office. Now," he said dryly, "Ten points from Gryfyndor. Five from Slytherin. I expect to see you and Ms. Jay cleaning this mess, Malfoy."
Renee and Chad silently got their things together. Renee shot Draco a glance that said I'm sorry that you have to clean up my mess. Draco waved it off. Quickly he did a scouring charm, the room was completely spotless. The class was dismissed and Draco went to his common room.
"Why did we get points taken off? I mean they did a good thing," Hermonie said.
"It's Snape. Who knows," was the answer she got from Audra, as she walked past them, and she too entered the common room.
Snape, sat inside his empty class room. He sighed knowing that he was going to be summoned to Dumbledore's office. As he left to go to the office, he felt his arm burn. He raised the sleeve of his robes and saw the dark mark, burning the darkest of black on his arm. Instead of walking to Dumbledore's office he ran.
In Dumbledore's office, something similar happened. Harry was explaining what had happened with the commentary from Renee and Chad. He was just about to explain what had happened when his parents arrived, when he gave a yelp of pain.
His parents looked at him in concern as did, Professor Dumbledore. Renee and Chad were looking at him oddly. Harry closed his eyes, and when he did he saw Lord Voldermort.
"I think, I think that Voldermort is near. I saw him."
There was a dead silence, until Snape burst into the room.
"He is coming."
