Enthusiasm for potions
Hills upon hills of green grass as far as the eye could see, each stand waving in the breeze, in the distance the sun slowly rose above the hills and the warm light shone over the land, there was a silent call of 'gwyneth' each time the wind blew getting louder and clearer 'gwyn…we're late' the voice became clearer and clearer but yet still no one was around, suddenly gwyneth woke up with a start with the recognizable cry of Abi saying
"GWYNETH…we are late for first lesson!!"
"What lesson are we late for…because if it's care of magical creatures then Hagrid will forgive us…" Gwyneth yawned rubbing her eyes as Abi rushed about the room in panic
"We're late for potions!!" yelled Abi and Gwyneth's eyes widen
"Oh shit!"
"No kidding…even if we are slytherin…Snape will still be pissed at us"
"At least he won't take points off his own house" she said jumping out of her bed and dashing about
After a very panic moment the two girls ran down to the potions classroom and pushed open the door with a loud bang and to their surprise the room was empty, Snape looked up at them very confused
"How…late are we?" Gwyneth asked
"I don't think we are late," said Abi looking around at the classroom
"Miss Stevenson…miss smith…I understand your enthusiasm for potions but you are both extremely early, the lesson starts in half an hour…you may stay here and wait or go have some breakfast…"
"I'm getting some breakfast im starving!" said Abi backing out the door and pulling Gwyneth by her robes
"I'm staying here" Gwyneth sighed throwing up her arms and walking towards her table but being pulled back "what?"
"You are staying," asked Abi "why…"
"Could you two please hurry up and decide where you are going to go?" grumbled Snape.
"Sorry professor"
"Sorry…ill stay with you" Abi said rolling her eyes and letting go of Gwyneth's robes.
The potions lesson was going fine, after Gwyneth and Abi had shown up a half an hour early, until suddenly Gwyneth's cauldron exploded In a puff of green smoke everyone screamed and ran out the room apart from Snape and Abi who crowed around her as she was lying on the floor, she woke with a gasp and sat up
After the smoke had settled everyone who had ran out walked in slowly and surveyed the room and all stared at Gwyneth shockingly
"What?" Gwyneth asked seeing everyone looking at her "is my nose still here?" she put her hand up to her face feeling her nose
"Erm…your nose is fine Gwyn…it's your hair…" Abi tried to explain
"Oh god…im bald!"
"No you have hair…its just…green"
"Green?"
"Dark green…looks very nice…very…erm…sly…"
"My hair is green!!!!"
"Yeah…is there anything you can do professor." Abi asked and Snape examined Gwyneth's hair and then looked into her eyes and noticed that they were no longer green but dark brown almost black and very hypnotizing.
"You seem fine" he sighed not taking his eyes of her's "but I think you better go to the hospital wing. Miss Smith you take her"
"Yes sir"
"Abi do you have your mirror?" asked Gwyneth looking up at Abi and Snape
"Yeh…here" Abi handed her pocket mirror over to Gwyneth and she looked in it at her shiny very dark almost black green hair and smiled
"Looks…nice," she said
"Suits you," the mirror reported
"Even my mirror agrees…come on…" Abi said putting out her hand and helped Gwyneth up and walked with her to the hospital wing.
"Well…Gwyn…you wanted something to happen…"Abi giggled as they walked up the steps
"Yeah…but I really think my hair changing color will really change my life…"
"Well…they do say the smallest things…Gwyn your eyes are black…"
"Black…give me your mirror again…"
Gwyneth looked into the mirror and saw that her eyes where in fact so dark that you had to look in them for a long time before finding the pupils
"Wow" she said under her breath.
