Chapter 6: Humiliation
The next couple of days, they both went on their business with out worrying about Ron. Harry was enjoying the fact that no one was following him or bothering him for that matter. Also Harry really did try to play the part of Neville, so that no one would get suspicious. The only downfall to this arrangement was that Hermione got pick on for always being by his side. She was getting a lot of slack from the other students, especially the Slytherins. It was at its worse during Snape's classes were not only did the students bother her, but also the teacher. She was not the only one that got picked on in his classes. It was particularly hard to keep quite when Snape was also insulting yourself.
Snape asked, "So class can any one tell me were a spiny newts horns are located?" Of course Hermione's hand went straight up, but as usual Snape did not let her respond. "Does any one else know were the spiny newts horns are? Ummm...How about you Longbottom?" Harry not recognizing the name did not look up from his work. Snape tried again, "Longbottom..." Hermione finally hit Harry in the ribs. This brought Harry to the realization that Snape was calling on him. Harry answered, "Yes Professor". Snape with a slight smirk on his face said, "I see you even need Granger to remind you of your name, pathetic..."
Harry could feel the anger building up inside him, but he was determent not to let Snape get to him. Then Snape raised his voice again, "Well, Longbottom, Do you know the answer?" Harry said calmly, "Yes Professor, the spiny newts horns are found on the bridge of his nose." Snape unhappy with the right answer stared, "Granger! I don't appreciated cheater in my class. That will be 10 points from Gryffindor."
Before he could stop himself, Harry blurted out, "But Professor, I did not cheat". Snape plastered a smirk on his face for finally getting a rise out of him and stated, "Longbottom, are you talking back to a Teacher that's another 10 points from Gryffindor...I see you have grown some courage over the past couple of says".
Harry could not stop himself from saying under his breath, "That's not I have gained." Unfortunately, Snape heard this and said, "Was that a challenge...I see, Longbottom wants to test me...ok...an oral pop quiz right now. It will count for 50% of your grade, and you must come to the front of the class to take it NOW!"
Harry did not speaking to anyone as he went up to the front. His eye even stayed focus on Snape as if they were in a staring contest. Harry did not take into consideration that the real Neville would have broken down crying by now, but he could not back down now.
The whole class was watching in awe as this conflict unfolded. The Gryffindors were all looking on sympathetically asking themselves, if he knew what he was doing. While, the Slytherins were watching on excitedly waiting in anticipation for what was to be a Neville blood bath. Only Hermione was calm and collective, and to Ron's amazement, she was actually smiling.
Harry got up to the center of the room and stood bravely. "Ok Longbottom, what are the seven uses of dragon's blood?" Harry who remembered studying this gave the right answer right off to everyone surprise. Then Snape went on to harder material, but the more questions he asked, the more Neville got right. Also the more answers Neville got correct, the more irritated Snape became.
"What is Veritaserum used for?" "It's a truth potion used to make people confess their wrong doings." The more question Snape ask, the less excited the Slytherins became, and the larger the smile on Hermione's face became.
"When do you add the last ingredient of Polyjuice potion?" "You have to wait until the full moon."
Finally Snape got tired, and said, "Ok Longbottom, you may have answered all my preliminary questions right, but for your test I only have one question." Snape plastered a great big smile on his face as he said, "What would happen to a person who takes a Polyjuice potion with an animal hair?" Snape, satisfied with himself because he knew that he had never taught that, or that it would appear in any book. He so wanted to fail Longbottom, but to his surprise, Neville did not appear to be nerves or confused. Neville was just standing in the font of the room with is arms across his chest with a stratified smirk on his face. "Professor, if a person takes Polyjuice potion with an animal hair, they would partially turn into the animal that the hair is from. The effects also last a lot longer then the traditional hour. Plus the effects can only be removed by magical attention."
At this Snape went dumb. Longbottom had defeated the great Potions Master. His mouth went slack, and the room went silent.
At that moment, Ron turned around in his seat to look at Hermione who was turning red. The only thing Ron could say was, "You told Longbottom!" Unfortunately, Professor Snape saw the exchange of words, even though he did not hear what was said.
Snape eager to change the subject said, "10 points from Gryffindor for Weasley speaking out in class, and a detention. Please see me after class for your assignment."
Without another word, Snape went back to teaching his class. Harry gladly walked back to his seat, and Snape did not even glance at him once for the rest of the period.
When they got out of class, Neville was being patted on the back by all the Gryffindors for standing up to Snape. Hermione just kept looking at him and saying, "Wow, you really did it Harry" under her breath, but Harry always heard this little remarks making him smile.
