A/N: The student that began to talk in the last chapter was a student from Greenings, there will be no one else from Hogwarts showing up. At least, for now.
Fate.
Once the hour was over, the five teenagers rushed back to where Ron, Harry and Hermione were sitting, pretty much ignoring all other students who were trying to grab their attention. With a sigh, Harry leaned back into his chair and waited till the other Gryffindors had approached them. Smirking slightly he asked. "Ok, whose wonderful idea was it to get Snape here?"
The other teenagers looked at each other puzzled, Snape was not a topic they wanted to discuss but nevertheless Lavender answered. "I think it was Dumbledore, you know he's a bit crazy."
Seamus nodded. "He has to be to put Snape in charge of a bunch of Gryffindors, he will end up killing us."
Neville looked at his friends. "You know it's a really coincidence we ended up in the same school as you."
The trio laughed out loud. Hermione was the first to calm down. "Sorry to disappoint you, Neville, I hardly think it was a coincidence."
Parvati looked at her questioningly. "Why do you say that, Hermione?"
The girl grimaced. "Please, call me Phoenix, everyone does. And Dumbledore knew where we were going to school so it's no wonder he decided to put you here. Probably trying to make us come back to Hogwarts."
The five teenagers looked at their friends puzzled, but didn't have the chance to say anything else, because the biology teacher came in with Remus and Snape, ready to teach her lesson. A proof that it had all been a set up from Dumbledore, was the fact that neither man looked surprised when they saw the five Gryffindors sitting with the trio. Dragon could have sworn he even saw Lupin looking around before his eyes fell on them. While Snape sneered to them in his usual way, Remus smiled a little, unsure how the trio was going to react. The three teenagers seemed to be taking it relatively well, but Remus was a bit unsure, during the holidays he had noticed the trio had changed a great deal and now it was kind of hard to tell how they were feeling. The werewolf felt a little reassured when Harry acknowledged him with a nod of his head, and he took his seat next to Snape.
For the rest of the lesson, the trio didn't acknowledge any of the Hogwarts students nor professors in any way. They concentrated on their work and only now and then did they look at their former friends, trying to hold their laughter at Neville's desperate attempts to use a ballpoint properly. Soon it became apparent to the trio, that they fellow Gryffindors didn't have much idea of what the teacher was talking about. Luckily for them, the studies in Care of Magical Creatures were close enough for them to follow the lesson and between Dean and Lavender they managed to keep from making many errors. When the teacher began to notice that the new students seemed to be acting strange and not knowing much about what she was talking about, the trio looked at each other. They couldn't let the secret of their former friends come out, because then their own secret would be revealed. In a few seconds of silent conversation between the three of them, they decided to take matters in hand. From then on, every time the teacher asked any question to the Hogwart's students, one of the trio came up with some question that got the teachers attention.
After biology, they had chemistry. To the trios relieve that day they were going to do practical work in the lab. They had to work in pairs. Quickly the three of them decided to take each of the purebloods with them, so as not to let them do much damage. Dragon, being the best in chemistry, forcefully grabbed Nevilles arm and dragged him to her usual sat. Ron paired off with Parvati and Hermione had to put up with Seamus. Dragon also made sure Dean and Lavender would be sitting in front of him so he could see if they were going to do something wrong. During that whole lesson, Snape hovered over them like he used to do in potions back at Hogwarts. He specially kept a close eye at Neville making Harry incredible nervous. Finally, when the end of the lesson was approaching, Harry's patience wore off. Putting the erlenmeyer he had been using down, he turned to face the potions master. With a soft, deathly voice, he asked. "Professor, would it be too much to ask if you kindly left us alone? Nothing is going to happen."
Snape snorted. "I will remind you Potter, that you're working with Longbottom, the boy can't even make the simplest po… experiment right. Not that you are much better."
Harry's lips thinned and his eyes became dark with suppressed anger. Without removing his gaze from the other man, he grabbed the vase Neville was about to drop and put it on the table. "That was then and this is now. I would like to inform you that I hold the highest marks in chemistry from this school." Then Harry smirked. "You know, it's curious, I change schools and suddenly become very good at chemistry. I wonder if it had to do with our teacher."
Snape's face became deathly pale. "Are you suggesting I'm a bad teacher, Potter?"
Neville cowered in fear behind Harry, and all the other Gryffindors stared at them. Harry smiled innocently at the man. "Me? No." Harry's expression suddenly changed and became hard. "I am telling you. You are a poor excuse for a teacher."
Snape looked murderous, but Harry didn't pay him any more attention and returned to his experiment. Phoenix and Griffin, had been listening to the exchange but neither had stepped in nor looked up from their experiments, they knew Harry was more than able to deal with the man himself. Snape, seeing he couldn't do anything else without causing a scene, abruptly left and went to join Lupin in front of the classroom.
