Chapter 4: Three Spells Trouble
The cool fall air woke blew over Harry as he sat up in his bed dripping with sweat. He had just had a nightmare; at least he hoped that was all it was. It was definitely about Voldemort but oddly he couldn't remember anything. Quickly he changed his thoughts to the other day. He seemed to have the same feelings for Christerina as he did Cho. He wasn't at all used to having crushes. Now that he thought about it Ron and Neville seemed to like the other girls too, but what stuck in Harry's mind was when Malfoy teased the new girls yesterday, Honouro was looking at Malfoy strangely…almost as if she had found him interesting.
Harry shook the thoughts away. Still, even though he liked the girls there was something different about them. He wasn't sure if it was good or bad, but they seemed to be wonderful people, he just hoped the feeling he had didn't mean they were part of Voldemort's plan, like other students from last year were. He hated to see anyone get hurt. Suddenly he remembered about his mother. There was something his Aunt and Dumbledore weren't telling him about her. Was it good, or was it bad? Whatever the reason was, he had to find out.
He lay there in bed until the rest of his friends woke up. They all trailed down to the Great Hall together. When they got there the new girls were sitting with Hermione and Lavander, all deep in conversation. The five of them looked up and smiled at the boys, who smiled back. Harry's smile was only frequent, however, because at that moment Malfoy and his two goons strolled in looking very pleased about something. It didn't give him a good feeling and it made him want to be able to remember his dream. If Malfoy was involved he had to make sure to watch him very carefully.
Classes were going just fine, especially for Harry and Ron. They hadn't realized the new girls were in so many of their classes. It was great because they were so funny, especially when Kelly decided to accidentally blow up a pillow in front of Professor Flitwick's face. And in Herbology Honouro thought the strange, but edible-looking plant was a grapefruit and tried to eat it out of Professor McGonagall's hand. Honouro simply told her, "I'm sorry Professor, I swear it looked like a grapefruit, honest. If you want me to sew back on its legs I can for you." She smiled almost too innocently but five points were still taken off Gryffindor, however everyone got a good laugh.
Then it was time for potions. Harry was so glad that the girls were with him, Ron and Hermione in that class because he didn't think he could stand looking at Snape another time, so instead he stared back at Christerina. Snape had caught Harry looking at Christerina during the class period, who also was looking back at him. Sneering, he walked over to the girl who was now writing down notes and putting ingredients into a cauldron. He looked into her cauldron and saw that it wasn't the right color.
"This isn't the right color!" He snapped bitterly.
The whole class turned their attention towards Snape and Christerina. Harry's anger boiled so high he almost jumped out of his seat and onto Snape, but Ron held him down with help from Seamus. Christerina smiled up at Snape.
"Well of course it's not Professor," she said casually, "I haven't added the last ingredient." With that she stuck a ripe onion-like plant in the cauldron and the color turned from a light yellow to a dark purple.
Snape glared at her, obviously upset that she talked back to him and got the potion color right. He sneered and headed towards another attack. "It's not polite to talk back to a teacher. I was only trying to help you."
"If you call yelling at me in a rude way even after you said we didn't have to have the potion done till the end of the class helping, then you must be from a different planet, because helping is something only nice people do."
All the Gryffindors howled with laughter,
especially her two friends who had been making faces at Snape, while he was talking to her, behind his back.
"Yeah and only non-ugly people too," Kelly added still laughing.
"Not to mention brainless," Honouro burst into more laughter.
The two of them made the rest of the Gryffindors almost fall off their chairs in tears. Unfortunately though, Snape had heard what they said and had been patiently waiting for an excuse to get them into trouble. After the laughing had died down, which took a while, Snape walked over to the other two girls and leaned over to them.
"For talking back you three have just earned yourselves a detention. Be there tonight after dinner," he smirked at their shocked faces.
When he turned his back Kelly stuck out her tongue at him and Honouro and Christerina's faces wore angry expressions, but not as angry as Harry's.
"You can't do that!" He shouted suddenly.
Snape turned and glared intensely at him. "And why's that Potter? I am the teacher of this class, am I not?"
"Yeah, well you shouldn't be! You don't teach, all you do is act biased and try and get Gryffindors into trouble! I'm sure if any of the other teachers knew about it you'd be out of here in a second!" Harry yelled.
"Yeah!" Ron yelled standing up next to him.
Snape glared at them hatefully, but the glare soon turned to a smirk, "Very well gentlemen, you can join your new friends. I'll be waiting for you five after dinner, and 10 points from Gryffindor for yelling."
Ron had headed towards Snape who hadn't noticed but Harry pulled him back and whispered, "We'll get him back later."
Ron nodded and they sat down. Malfoy was sneering madly and laughing quietly with some other Slytherins. However, he wouldn't have been smiling had he known Kelly had passed Christerina an extra bottle of werewolf's blood and was now pouring it into Malfoy's cauldron, which started to bubble and smell really bad.
After classes all of them made their way to the Great Hall for dinner. Harry didn't see Dumbledore there this time and he wondered why, but Dean's talking interrupted his thoughts.
"Man! Those girls are so funny! I wish they could stay for our 6th and 7th years. Classes have been much more entertaining!"
"They didn't even realize what they were doing!" Hermione stated, "I mean if something ever went wrong someone could've gotten hurt."
"But they didn't," Ron pointed out, "besides that's what made it so funny, they didn't know what they were doing at all!"
Harry smiled. Classes had been more entertaining since the new students arrived, but him and Ron still had a detention and Harry dreaded knowing what they were going to have to do. Before he could worry more he felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned around to see Christerina smiling at him. Honouro was talking with Neville and Kelly had her arms around Ron and Dean.
"Hi," she smiled.
"Er…Hi," Harry smiled back.
"So, I guess we have detention together. That Snape is a real pain."
At that point Kelly leaned in between them, "yeah but at least it'll give us some time to plan some revenge against him and Malfoy."
Honouro overheard that and smiled, however, there was still a strange look in her eyes that Harry couldn't detect. He was very thankful they weren't afraid to break a few rules…or more. Once seated at the Great Hall they all were in deep conversation all together. At some points Christerina stopped to ask Harry about Quidditch, which reminded him that practice was supposed to start sometime soon. He explained to her everything about Quidditch, with the help of Ron and Dean. Hermione was pleasantly talking in the conversation as well, but she seemed to have a strange smile on her face the whole time. Even though they were all having a great time forgetting their worries, after dinner, it was detention with Snape.
