VII
It's the beginning of January, and the classes have started again. Naire woke up this morning not felling very well. She was a little bit sick before madam Pomfrey gave her the cure yesterday. The bell rang, and she quickly finishes her breakfast. She picks up her book from the table, and walk out from the Great Hall. Ravenclaw's first lesson for today is potion with Gryffindor. She'd rather sleep the whole day than going to Snape's class, but she has no choice. And to know that Oliver is going to be there too didn't make her feel better.
She entered the class, she looked around. Snape's not there yet, thank God. She takes a sit next to Jessica and Sandy. She saw Oliver sitting on the table next to her, looking straight at the board. He looked happy, she thought. Maybe because he's with Angelina now. And she's with Ethan.
Suddenly the door opens with a loud bang. Snape has arrives.
"Today we will start with new potion. It's very dangerous, and I don't want any of you to screw it! Not in my class..." he said with a deep grunted voice.
"Prepare your ingredients, it's on my table. read the ingredients on the board" he ordered.
"But, proffesor... it's the.." said a Gryffindor girl.
"Death Potions, I know!" he said.
Some of them gasped on his words.
"But do not worry... it won't bring death, but life! It was named after it's inventor, Roger Death. Not a pleasant name, I know. But you'll find it very useful" he glanced at each one of them.
"It'll save you even if you're on the verge of dying" he whispered in a very mean voice.
There's no sound from any of them. They never thought that Snape would ever teach them that kind of potion.
"Now, start working!" he shouted.
Everyone work in silence. Naire's working with Jessica and Sandy in the same table. Snape went out for a while. As she brewing the ingredients in the cauldron, suddenly a loud bang came from the table next to her. she turns to look, but a big splatter of purples slime landed on top of her head, and covering her face.
"What the..!?" she screamed touching her hair, and trying to wiped the purple slime.
When she's finally able to take a look, she saw Oliver cracking up. He was covered in slime also, a lot more than she was. All the Gryffindors are laughing, although some of them are also covered with slime. The Ravenclaw's didn't get much as the Gryffindor's because they we're sitting on the other side.
"Good job, Wood!" shouted an Gryffindor boy still laughing.
Anger came to her. It's not enough for him to make her life miserable, and now she was covered with slime because of him. She doesn't why she was so angry, but it all just came and take over her.
"You..bloddy stupid! What have you done?" she shouted at him.
"Hey, it's an accident!" he shouted back.
"Well, it won't happen if you're not so bloddy stupid!" she screamed.
The shouting and screaming continues, just like the old days. Their wands are on the air. It was like going back to memory lane when all they do was fighting. They haven't done it for ages. Then suddenly a big voice came in to the atmosphere.
"SILENT" Snape is back.
"Why is my class covered with this slime! And why are you two fighting like that!" his black beetle eyes was full of anger when he take a full look at both of them.
"You see, proffesor..." they both talk at the same time.
"Save your word!" he shouted.
"But, professor..." she said again trying to explain.
"SILENT! I don't want to hear any excuses! 30 points from Gryffindor and 30 points from Ravenclaw!"
"I believe this is your work, Mr. Wood... you always amazed me with this kind of stupidity!" he said sharply.
"But, I never.." Oliver tries to defence himself.
"Not another word! I'll be waiting for you in detention, Mr. Wood!"
Naire put a little smile on the edge of her mouth.
"And for you, Ms. Mutsuki, do not over joy! You're not getting away with this!" he turned to Naire.
"But, I didn't do anything!" she said quickly so Snape won't be able to cut it.
"You both will have detention, together!" ignoring her words.
"With him?"_ "With her?" they both shouted at the same time.
"YES! I'll be waiting for BOTH of you here after school! Now, you better get this class clean. I don't want to see any single purple dot in here!" he said to them.
The bell rings. Snape ended up the class, but made Naire and Oliver stay for some heavy cleaning job. They cleaned the room silently, and when it finished (after a very long hour) they quickly went to their own directions.
The rest of the days seemed like hell for her. Snape did a great job on making her mood on the downside. Not only she has to deal with the death potion's rotten smell on her hair, but detention with Oliver Wood? That's just too much for her. The only thing that could make her a little bit happy was Ethan.
"Are you okay?" Ethan asked.
"Yeah.." she answered smiling.
She's on her way to the dungeon, to meet Snape and Oliver. Ethan's walking with her.
"That's not really fair of him, I mean... it's Wood who messed things up!" he said.
"Yes, it was... but I was the one who started the fight! If I just could hold back my emotions, maybe I won't be having detention" she said.
"Actually I was hoping we can get together after school, but..." he said softly, after they reached the dungeon front door.
"We can do that tomorrow, well... at least until I know what's the detention is!" she smiled at him, running down her palm under Ethan's thick blonde hair.
"Well, it'll be worth waiting" he smiled leaning forward and kiss her gently on the lips.
"What's that for?" she asked with a big grin after the kiss.
"For making me so happy" He smiled.
"I believe Snape's waiting for us, Naire!" came a voice suddenly. It's Oliver.
She didn't realize that he was there. Has he been there long? Long enough to see them kissing? hey, I don't care if he saw it, she thought. He must have done it with Angelina. With Angelina, somehow that word annoys her.
"Okay then, bye. See you tomorrow Naire" Ethan said waving his hand.
"Ready?" Oliver asked nervously.
She just look at him and didn't answer as she push the dungeon's door. Snape was already there.
"Hah, finally!" he said.
"Yes, proffesor" they both said.
"Now, about your detention..." he continued, thinking what would he do with them.
"Since you two get along VERY well, I guess I have to make you work together!" he said with a very big satisfied smile.
"Follow me!" he ordered.
They follow him to the cabinet on one side of the dungeon. He take some of ingredients from it shelf. He puts it on the table, besides the stony stove with cauldron on top of it.
"Now, here's what you have to do!" he faced them.
"The Death Potion I've taught you earlier, as a matter of fact.. is not complete yet!" he continued.
"That explain" Oliver said under his breath.
Snape didn't hear him, but Naire did. She gave him a little smile.
"there's more to add, and that's what I want you to do. The potion has to be brewed for two weeks non-stop, adding each ingredients every day one by one. So, if you smart enough to count, there'll be 14 different ingredients" he explained.
"But proffesor, why do you want us to make the potion? Is someone dying?" Naire asked.
"Nobody's dying, but it could be useful. Madam Pomfrey could make a good use of it. As you all already know, we have our very famous Mr. Potter that seems always in danger, not that I care of" he explained again.
"I see... but if it's so important, why do you want us to do it? I mean... we could mess things up" She asked again.
"If you want Mr. Potter and his friends survives, I believe you do not want to mess up Ms. Mutsuki" he said almost like a threat.
"Ookay..." she said almost in whispered.
"Now I must warn you! Not all of the ingredients are easy to find, for examples this Baygon roots, which we only have one left" he said holding a short green and brownish plant's root on his hand.
"What about it sir?" Oliver asked.
"The nearest place you'll find it is in the dark forest, and I'm sure you do not want to go there" he answered.
They didn't say a word, trying to capture every single words that coming out from Snape's mouth. As much as they hate detention, they wouldn't want to risk their friends' life, and their own life! Surely going to the forbidden forest is not the best way to stay alive. As Snape finished all the explanation and the things should be done, Naire was ready to go.
"Your detention will start tomorrow. I will be expecting you here every day at 8, not more! I won't be with you all the time, so I'm trusting you not to do anything beyond your control" he said looking at them carefully as if they will do something bad.
"Yes professor" they nodded.
"Now go, I'm tired looking at your faces! GO!!" he shouted at them.
