Their first class was to be potions. The Gryffindors hated that class because the
teacher was Severus Snape, head of the Slytherin house.
Lucidia had to run and get Starla. They were both running to potions.
The potion room door flew open with a bang.
"Sorry-we're-late-prof-" Lucidia said, trying to catch her breath. Snape curled his lip.
"I do not tolerate tardies!" he growled. "20 points from Gryffindor. Take your seats."
They walked past him and Lucidia gave him a look.
"I WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT ATTITUDE, BLACK! 5 points from Gryffindor and detention. Now
I suggest you take your seat or I will add a nice 0 to that 5."
Lucidia hurried to her seat.
"As I was saying, before Miss Black and Miss Lupin decided to interrupt us, we are going to
do happiness potions. They are much like cheering charms. Happiness potions are often used to
clear one of depression..."
"I reacon he needs to take some happiness potion!" Lucidia said, as they were walking out.
"'Don't give me that attitude' Really! All I did was look at him! Now I have to go for detention with
Filch! Urgh! I can't stand him!"
"Don't hate! Appriciate!" Lara laughed.
"You could say that because Snape isn't always on your back!"
"Why is he mainly after you?" Roy asked, concerned.
"Dad said, when they were in school, he played a joke on Snape and almost got him killed."
"HA! I would hate you, too!" Lara said.
"Hey! I wasn't the one who played the joke!"
Lara only shrugged.
"What class do you have, after lunch?" Starla asked.
"Care Of Magical Creatures," everyone, except Georgia, said.
"Aritmancy," Georgia said, brushing hair out of her eyes.
"What are you taking that for?" Lara asked.
"Mum said it is very interesting."
"So? If mum said jumping off a bridge was interesting, would you do it?" Roy pondered.
"JUST SO YOU KNOW, I'M NOT ONLY DOING THIS FOR MUM! Mind your own!" she replied,
tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and marched away.
"She's trying to impress mum," Roy explained. "She was doing it all Summer. Quite annoying, really."
Lara laughed and they went to lunch.
