A/N ::: I want to thank all of those beautiful reviewers who last night
made me the happiest man on the face of the earth. Today has been the
snowiest day in the history of Glasgow and I am currently grounded for
trying to drown my little sister in snow. So that is why I am in here
writing the following chapter. Oh and before I forget. My 'friend' Jane is
under quite a lot of stress just now, so in your next reviews could you put
a great big 'get well soon' note to cheer her up. Thanks. Gee, I talk to
much lol.
Ahem...on with the chapter
Chapter 8 Changing Classes and a Letter From Sirius.
Two days had passed after the making of the Duplacous potion and Snape guaranteed Harry that if he didn't brew it correctly then he would take 200 points off of Gryffindor.
He still couldn't get it right. Harry tried three times today and the result was always the same except the pain got worse every time.
"Potter, you still haven't mastered this yet have you. Why do you insist on making a mockery of my potions teaching. For that alone I am willing to take only say 30 POINTS OFF GRYFFI-" Snape was interrupted by a levitating spinning sphere with words on it. He grabbed the sphere and tapped it with his wand. It instantly burst into flame and big silver sparkly words appeared in mid air and they read:
WOULD ALL TEACHERS PLEASE ALLOW ANY PUPIL WHO IS 2ND YEAR OR OLDER AND WISH TO CHANGE CLASSES TO COME TO THE GREAT HALL FOR A QUICK BRIEFING AND A CHOICE OF THREE OF THE NEW CLASSES.
Professor Dumbledor.
Harry shot out of the room faster than a speeding bullet. "Pot-" Snape's face looked like a baboon's bottom.
Harry met Ron and Hermione at the doors to the great hall. "Where you filling in your detention?" Hermione asked politely
"Yeah, and guess who I had, my favourite" Harry moaned sarcastically. "He made me do the Duplacous potion over and over again. I don't know why because I will never get it rig-" Harry was interrupted when the great hall's doors opened.
They looked at each other and walked in.
"Now gather round, gather round, can you all hear me?" there was alot of shaking. "I want you all to listen very, very carefully for what I am about to tell you may change your lives and may very well change your careers. Only students who are fifth year and over may drop the following subjects: Potions, Arithmancy, Charms and lastly History of Magic. Any other year may drop any other subject except those studies. Now, the three new studies are Villation, Quidditch Studies and Duelling attacks. If any of the fifth year wish to drop any of the studies mentioned then would they please make a line infront of the teachers dinning table". Professor Dumbledor continued talking to all the lower years as Harry, Ron and Hermione made their way over to the teachers dinning table. As they made their way over they saw Draco in the line.
"I wonder what he's going to drop". Hermione whispered.
"It will DEFINITELY NOT be Potions." Ron shouted. "Shhhhh, keep your voice down. I don't know. He's been pretty erm..bad! at it lately." Harry muttered. Draco turned around and stared at them horribly. He was the only Slytherin in the line. All the others must have thought that they were too good at everything too want to drop any of the subjects.
When they reached the bottom of the line Professor Snape was sitting right in the centre.
"Oh-no, its Snape, were going to drop potion. We cant say that to him. He'll take points off us". Ron's face whitened. "Oh Ron, your such a baby." Hermione laughed.
They reached the table and Snape threw a dirty glare at them.
"Yes How can I he-. Well Potter I don't have to ask why you are here do I. Potions, is that what you would like to drop" Harry nodded and so did Hermione and Ron.
"Sooo. Miss Granger and Mr Weasley want to join their little friend do they, fine. Will you be dropping any other subjects?"
"Yes actually. I would like to drop Charms and History of Magic." Harry said positively. Snape looked disgusted at Harry but not surprised. He turned to Ron, "I suppose you would like to drop the same wouldn't you Weasley." Ron nodded accordingly. "I however would like to drop only Charms and Potions Professor Snape." Hermione said. "Fine. Now, what subjects will you be taking on, Potter Weasley, I expect that you want to take the three new studies." Harry and Ron nodded. "Miss Granger. What will you be taking on?" Snape continued to glare at the three moving from one to the other. " I would like to take Villation and Duelling Attacks." Hermione looked at a stunned Ron and Harry. "What?" "You want to take Duelling Attacks, why?". Harry asked curiously. "Listen, its not only boys who will be able to participate". They walked off together with uneasiness in the air.

When Harry got back up to the dormitories there was a letter lying on his bed. The hand-writing belonged to Sirius. Harry sat on the bed and opened it with great anticipation.
What the content was however shocked him...
A/N ::: Sorry peeps, I have to get more than ten reviews, for you to find out what the letter says. Pleese oh Pleese find me more, tell your friends about it and if I get more than ten then 3 more chaps will be going up when I get them. I didn't put up three the last time and I am very very sorry about that. I had to go to the hospital the days I promised them for to visit my sick aunt. Shes fine now though so I will have no prob writing a further thre- actually make it FOUR! If I get Ten reviews then I will write four new chaps plus the reply from Sirius. Please tell your friends and anyone who likes harry potter/ draco malfoy fics.

P.S ::: REMEMBER TELL PEEPS, THE MORE REVIEWS THE MORE CHAPS.
