The Promise-19-all The Potion

"Come one, I have a station set up in my room." Once they returned to Hogwarts Harry led them to a statue of a Phoenix. He mumbled something and the statue moved aside. Harry walked in first followed by Ron with Hermione bringing up the rear. They walked into an elaborate bedroom. The blanket and curtains on his four poster were a deep scarlet and the pillows and sheets were gold. The rug on his floor was a moving gold Gryffindor lion on a red background. Across from the bed was a large fireplace. To either side of the fireplace were doors. The one on the right was made of Cherry wood and had a gold handle and the one on the right was made of Pine and had a ruby for a handle. He led then to the Cherry door.

Harry pulled out his wand and placed the tip of it on the handle and said "Alohamora" and the lock clicked. "Harry?" Hermione said before he opened the door, "Why did you put your wand tip on the handel of the door for a 'Alohamora' spell? You don't have to." Harry smiled, "Not with a normal one. But this door opens only when it is my wand doing the spell, and for it to know that I have to put the tip of it on the handle." Hermione nodded and looked interested in the spell.

Harry opened the door to show a large stone room with an enormous circular fireplace in the middle of the room. "Harry, what is this place?" Hermione said as she pushed her way to the front and began walking around the room. Harry shrugged, "It's my personal potions room. Sometimes I teach classes up here, the students come through that door there," he said pointing to a door to Hermione's left, "but most of the time I use the dungeons. Snape doesn't have a lot of time anymore and sometimes he needs to goon a mission, so I teach his classes part time. I also brew potions for myself or other people. Every month I send enough Wolfsbane potion to Moony, I help Madame Pomfrey with medicinal potions and some potions for me personally: Veritaserum, Polyjuice, and--" at this point Hermione was at the cabinet where he kept all his potions. "A love potion?" She said with a grin. He shrugged, "Extra from last weeks class."

Harry walked to the far side of the room and grabbed 3 size 1 cauldrons. "The potion needs to be brewed in 3 different cauldrons then some is to be mixed together when it's done brewing." He handed one to Hermione and another to Ron. "Why does it have to be brewed separately, and in special cauldrons no less?" Ron asked noticing this gold sparkle coming from Hermione's and clear light bouncing off the inside of his. "One, the three potions are different, mostly the same ingredients but added in different ways. Hermione's cauldron had gold shavings in the inside because that is one symbol associated with love. Yours has clear Quarts Crystal shavings imbedded into yours because that could be a symbol of light." -God, he must be one of the best teachers in Hogwarts- Hermione thought before saying, "What's special about yours?" "Well, Friendship is said to heal all wounds so mine was dipped in a vat of Phoenix tears during the cooling process. "Ohhh." came from Ron's direction.

When all the ingredients were sorted and each person had a copy of the directions to their own potion they went to work.

{A/N I really don't feel like placing the potion so I'm just gonna make a time laps...}

In two hours it was dinner time which was all well and good because they were at the stage where all the ingredients were added and they need to simmer, untouched, for a day. When they walked into the Great Hall everyone was quiet and turned to look at them. After a minute a very familiar voice spoke loud enough for everyone to hear. "The trio, back together! I knew it was going to happen soon. I saw it in my crystal ball!!" "Forgot to mention," Harry started, "Lavender's the Divination Professor."

A/N Sorry, I know I haven't updated in like forever but life's been a little hectic lately. I'm learning to drive and have In-car lessons now, I'm tutoring a 10 year old in math every Tuesday and Thursday, and I'm stressed about waiting to see if I get into the National Honor Society so I'm a little busy lately. Once spring vacation rolls around (April 16 is my first day) I'll try to post at least every other day. bye bye
