First Day Back II
Harry's premonition wasn't that far off infact. Professor Fletcher, to Harry, wasn't that much different from Snape. He tormented him, gave him a hard time, and made Harry humiliated if he didn't know the answers to his question. The only thing different from Fletcher and Snape was that Fletcher didn't bore Snape's usual bitterness in his voice when he addressed Harry. It was more of amusement when he annoyed Harry.
"Potter what is the result of the combination of Wormwood, Unicorn Horn, and Nitric Acid (Sorry is there even a Nitric Acid in real life, I'm sorry I suck at science and my science teacher haven't taught us shit), the latter which was discovered in the muggle world!" Shouted Fletcher.
"Probably a new potions dealing with an overall acidic liquid since I've never heard of Nitric Acid used in any potions before." Harry responded sarcastically.
"WRONG! The Nitric Acid which is a type of dissolving liquid, which can burn through a lot of common objects, is canceled out by the Wormwood and the Unicorn Horn, both of which would need to be grounded for the potion. The Unicorn Horn makes the acid neutralized and the Wormwood makes the liquid very thick giving the potion a nice oozy liquid that can turn a permanent soft solid. Also if you add a sort of flavoring into this potion the whole potions turns into the same flavor even if you put only 1 teaspoon into a whole cauldrin of the stuff. This in fact is used in many of your candies like the 'Every Flavor Beans' you eat. 1 points off for Gryffindor's golden boy's no knowledge of 'sweets'"
Harry and a few other muggle-borns looked a bit green after that statements since mostly they knew the full uses of Nitric Acid. Harry did not want to eat those candies anymore.
After 45 minutes or so of pathetic torture from the auror, it was almost time to leave and Gryffindor was 20 points lower then when they entered. It was the first day no less! More then half the class was putting their parchments and quills away. The other half already did. Harry was thoroughly pissed off by then. He had to put up with that annoying teacher for the whole class, and most of his house was already mad at him, Ron at several seats away looked quite smug indeed though. Harry sure wasn't anymore cheered up when he remembered that he had divination next.
'Maybe I should drop that lesson' thought Harry. 'I sure as hell will see Mcgonnagol and try. Don't need to waste one hour learning nothing except the many different ways to die in that stuffed old bat's tower.'
Soon the bell rang and Harry rushed out of Potions. He didn't hurry after he was out of Potions. Truthfully he wasn't in that much of a rush to go to Divination. He walked up to Draco and handed him a note secretly in his pocket knowing that someday later he would find it. Then he parted from Draco's path and started climbing the stairs going up to Divination. On his way to the other side of the castle for Divination, he bumped into Alicia Spinnet after turning a corner. Both his and Alicia's belongings were scattered on the floor.
"Sorry 'bout that Alicia." Said Harry
He bent down to pick up his stuff, and help Alicia get her items. A couple of seconds or so of searching and organizing his belongings his stuff were more or less back to it's original condition. He looked up to Alicia's face and saw a bit of withdrawal on her face. He thought she was in heavy thought, and he wasn't wrong.
"Hey you okay?" He said with a bit of concern in his voice.
"No, I wanted to say that I am sorry for my harsh voice yesterday I didn't mean to be so defensive, I just thought you would send me away with a cold remark." She replied, thinking more or less that he did.
"Oh sorry about that, I was having a bad day, and I guess I was stressed to the point that I was easily spiteful at anyone. I truly am sorry about that, I didn't mean to be so rude about the fact that you were in the common room also." Harry replied with a bit of blush, he really was embarrassed at his own behavior yesterday. He shouldn't have been so cruel to Alicia after all she wasn't the reason he was so mad it was Ron's attitude and a bit of Hermione's nosiness.
"Well it was nice talking to you I got to go to Divination. I think I'm already late." Replied Harry.
"Yeah see ya later, I think I'm not fairing to well either. See you at the prefect meetings and at Quidditch practice." Said Alicia.
Alicia's PoV
'He said he was sorry. Well that's great at least he's not so cold to me. Still why did he ignore me last night? He showed a bit of concern in his voice. I shouldn't have been so afraid that he might be cruel when I talked to him. Oh great now I know I'm gonna be late for my class.'
With that she sprinted to her next class.
Harry's PoV
'I might make it in time. If not who cares it's just Divination, the old bat Trewnally would probably have predicted "The poor child will not make it to this class, he has faced his demise, DEMISE!" Stupid old excuse for a teacher. At least I won't be marked for absent if I'm 'dead'.'
Normal PoV
A few seconds before the bell was scheduled to ring Harry made it to the ladder leading up to the tower. 'Oh maybe I'll make it!' Just as he reached the top of the ladder about to open the trap door leading up to the upper level of the tower the bell rung. 'Damn! Was so damn close!' With that he opened the trap door and went inside the class. (Don't you just hate being like not even a meter away from the entrance of your class and the bell rings? Okay back to the story.)
Divination was as usual; overly exaggerated "premonitions", predicted death for Harry, fake, boring, predicted death for Harry, too much stuffy in scents lit in the room, and the all favorite on Trewnally's divination prediction, the predicted death for Harry.
Harry sat by Neville today since he was late. Poor Neville was the only person with a seat available. It was sad that Neville was alone and usually had no one to talk to. Harry knew that Neville was a nice guy and was incredibly kind too. Harry understood that he was like him in a way. Losing his parents by a dark wizards hand. Neville's parents just weren't killed however, they went insane and didn't even know who Neville was anymore. They didn't know who anyone was anymore.
This was something Harry learned from last year when he accidentally stumbled into a magical memory recorder of Dumbledore's. With the memory recorder, called the pensive, Harry found himself in a living breathing seeing all around him the actual memory taking place. The pensive had it's limit though, it wouldn't allow him to interact with anyone or thing that was taking place around him. If he was to see a man coming up with a knife behind an unsuspecting person all he could do was watch how the event turned out rather then being able to help the man. With the pensive Harry saw the trial of a group of death eaters who were charged for placing the Crucatious curse on a man and his wife who were aurors for so long that their minds just snapped. They were found guilty of taking away the sanity of a well known husband and wife auror, Frank and Linda (was it Linda I know it was Frank but- whatever let's just say the wife's name was Linda.).
Neville had to live with his grandmother and some relatives for most of his life, since the unfateful incident took place when he was one nearly two. Harry understood that Neville, like him would want to help the light's cause and help destroy those who took away his parents. It wasn't possible directly anymore since previous circumstances caused those that were guilty to be as good as dead or dead.
Most were actually dead, insane, or a fate worse then death "kissed." If the word "kissed" in the wizarding word was said with fright, disgust, or fear, then usually meant that they were referring to the Dementor's kiss. (That is of course unless they were 4 years old afraid of cooties.)
The Dementor was a dark creature, currently working for the Ministry to hold prisoners of Azkabam, an almost under escapable wizarding prison (it was actually considered impossible until the events 2 years ago when Sirius Black escaped.) under captive. The dementors had the ability to eat away at a person's soul sometimes little by little giving the person that they were near a "cold" feeling, or directly a quick sucking their soul through their victim's mouth into the dementor's mouth therefore considered a "kiss." Those "kissed" were now empty sell that had no history, memory, reaction to anything, cause for living, and soul. They were considered a dead man still living or vice versa. They just took up time till they died, since they couldn't eat or anything. That was the case unless they were tubed their food, that would have meant someone really wanted to keep them "alive" for sentimental sake. There was only one way to fight off the dementors and that was with the patronus charm.
It is a highly complex charm that required almost absolute consentration to get it right the first time. It needed determination and dedication of a lot of free time. If the charm was successful then the wizard or witch should have a bright force come out of their wand and charge at what they feel is a threat to them or those that they care about. The force that comes out of the wand takes a shape which no wizard and witch exactly knows what it will be before it takes it's shape. Once the shape has taken it's form usually everytime it is called the same form shall take place.
Harry didn't feel it was right for Neville to usually be alone. He promised himself that he would spend a lot of time with Neville and help him out. If he needed help with homework he would be available even though letting Hermione help Neville would have been a better thing.
Soon Divination was over and Harry once again rushed to get out of a class. He had Charms with Ravenclaw next and he wanted to actually be on time and be able to get decent seats for this class. He made it with 5 minutes to spare, but found that it that the 5th year Hufflepuff were already here. He got a seat that was in the third row at the very right side of the room so he could have a bit of distance from most of the class and yet have an easy time hearing the lecture the professor gave. 5 minutes later when the bell rung the professor spoke up. In a bit of a high pitched voice the midget- sized (no offense meant to any little people) professor started his lesson.
Today's lesson only briefly covers last year's more important lessons. It was only used to help us remember some of the important charms from last year. Harry dozed off during most of the class. He only was really paying attention when some of the more complex spells were asked to be performed. For Harry however it wasn't so hard. The only time Harry even bothered to try was when Prof. Flitwick came by to check on his progress. He congratulated Harry on his great sight-illusion charm, a basic charm yet pretty complex for 4-5th years that fooled the sense of sight into believing in seeing something that wasn't there. The next was the smell illusion charm that required a test subject to be fooled. If done correctly the subject, for the class it was a hamster, believed that they were smelling that wasn't real. Harry's hamster was going around in circles trying to catch a moving ball charmed to smell like the hamsters food.
Soon the class ended and Harry for once didn't rush to leave the class. He headed for Transfiguration at a slow pace, but that proved a mistake. Hermione reached up to Harry half dragging Ron along with her. She meant to make Ron apologize for his horrible attitude yesterday.
"Harry!" cried Hermione, which Harry groaned at.
"What Hermione." Harry replied curtly.
Hermione flinched at Harry's tone, but resumed what she intended to do earlier. She wanted their friendship to not be ruined just from one incident and hoped to solve it, and if Harry couldn't see how important their friendship was then maybe it was for the best what happened.
Ron during Hermiones thought was brewing in anger. He was feeling guilty and resentful to apologizing, but after he heard how Harry spoke to Hermione he quickly forgot all those feelings. He was now just about to punch Harry and one more misspeaking would make him snap.
"Ron just wanted to apologize to you, and I wanted to also say sorry for being nosy last night." Spoke Hermione while also pushing Ron forward to let him speak. "Right Ron?" asked Hermione but it was more of a command.
"I'm sorry Harry for being a jerk yesterday." Said Ron through clenched teeth.
Harry sighed, "Look Ron anyone could lie. So if your gonna lie might as well try to at least make it sound convincing." Said an exasperated Harry. With that he walked away from his past friend.
"Oh yeah, and I'm sorry also for my attitude last night Hermione, have a nice day." With that Harry walked away.
Thanks for all the reviews. Sorry I'm going so slow in the updating and the progress in the story's plot. I really hate Ron for some reason. Also can someone tell me how beta readers go?
