Chapter 2: Potions Class

The next day was everyone's first Potions lesson. So, of course, the Slytherins couldn't wait for it.

"Believe me, Snape favors us," Draco reassured Maria. "You could light his hair on fire, sign your name on his forehead, smack his butt, and call him 'Daisy', and he'd still blame it on the Gryffindors."

"Do you have experience in smacking professor's butt and calling them girl names?" Maria laughed as they walked into the Potions dungeon and took their seats. Maria sat next to Draco just as Snape walked into the room.

"I trust that your heads haven't emptied completely over the summer." Snape said cruelly to the Gryffindors. Then, turning to Neville, he said, "But I suppose your head is still as empty as it has always been."

Neville's round face went pink, and he sunk down a little in his chair.

"So, let's test your small brains." Snape said, walking to the front of the class. "Can anyone tell me where you could find a Grandprop?"

Immediately, Hermione Granger's hand shot up in the air. But before Snape could call on Hermione or, more likely, say something rude about her being a know-it-all, someone's voice echoed around the dungeon.

"Africa, Asia, and parts of Japan." Maria said coolly.

"Very good Ms. Gonzalez." Snape said with a smile. Hermione turned around in her seat and glared at Maria.

"Miss. Granger, turn back around." Snape said sternly. "Ten points from Gryffindor."

Every Gryffindor in the room looked like they wanted to tell Snape off, but thought better of it. For the rest of the class, Hermione and Maria seemed to be at war. They kept trying to say the right answers faster then the other, even when Snape wasn't asking a question.

"So," Snape began. "The growing potion was("

"invented by Fredrick Doberson." Hermione said quickly, before Maria could open her mouth

"Ms. Granger, I will ask you not to interrupt me again." Snape said angrily. "Now," he said, turning back to the class. "Gingress root is("

"Found in the Phillipenes, used to cure colds, and changes colors in the winter." Maria said quickly, smiling wickedly at Hermione.

"Very good Ms. Gonzalez." Snape said proudly. "Twenty points to Slytherin." All of the Slytherins cheered. "So, if you mix Gingress root with bat dung it("

"Makes a bomb that could blow up half of the world. " Hermione said smartly, glaring at Maria.

"Ms. Granger! I have asked you numerous times not to interrupt me!" Snape yelled. "Detention!"

"What? But that's not fair!" Hermione yelled, standing up in her seat. "Maria interrupted you and you gave her points!"

"Ten points from Gryffindor! And do not talk back to me again!" Snape yelled.

The rest of class was boring, so Draco decided to pass a note to Maria.

Good show. I'm glad that someone's smarter then Granger.

Thankz! She is kind of annoying, huh?

She is really annoying. You've really got to get her detentions more often. It brightens my day.

LOL! I be sure to make this a daily thing. But I don't think I could get away with it in any other classes.

Probably not. That's why it's so great to have Snape for one of our teachers.

Yeah. Maybe tomorrow I could light his hair on fire!

I'll give you twenty Galleons if you do.

Hee hee, but you'd have to help me.

So, what am now, your bitch?

Silly Draco, you've always been my bitch. :)
