Title: Romance Shmomance
Part Four: Potions
Author: Look up.
Disclaimer: Of course I don't own Harry Potter. I only own the computer that I'm typing on... wait a minute! I don't own that! What's this world coming too?
Spoilers: Of course
Summary: This is just the first potions lesson of the year. Since I couldn't wait, I had it be their first class on the first day.
A/N: Hey! I met my own deadline. Cool. Wonder how this year's going to turn out. Anna's in Gryffindor and well, you'll see.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" So, your name's Anna?" Hermoine was trying to make small talk with the new girl. Anna looked like she'd swallowed numerous bugs at once.
" My name's Ron, this is Harry and the know-it-all is Hermoine."
" Hey." She interrupted him briefly.
" We have potions next, with Slytherin." Harry whispered letting Hermoine and Ron fight for once. Anna brightened at both the word 'potions' and 'Slytherin'.
" So, you live with Malfoy?"
" I work for him."
Anna answered quietly, reaching for another piece of bacon. Ron was so flabbergasted that he just about dropped his cup of pumpkin juice and he just about let good food fall from his open mouth. Hermoine remedied the situation by taking the cup from Ron's limp hand at the same time she forced his jaw shut.
" You work for a slimy git like that?" Ron practically screeched when he got his senses back.
" Don't insult Master Malfoy." That dangerous glint from Diagon Alley was back in Anna's eyes.
" Fine, fine." Ron backed down quickly, much to the watching Slytherins' amusement.
" When does our first class start?" Anna asked, looking at a watch attached wrong side up to her left wrist.
" In fifteen minutes, why?" She sighed.
" No reason."
~~~~~
" So, what do ya think Snape's come up with this year?" The wonder trio was sitting together at a desk, wondering what was taking Snape so long.
" Probably something mean and nasty." Dean injected into the conversation.
" Knowing Snape." Ron agreed. When he twisted around to see Dean, he saw Anna sitting by herself in the back of the room. Tapping Ron and Hermoine on the shoulders, he nodded to the back.
Unfortunately, Snape choose that moment to walk in.
" I had hoped some of you would find yourselves unable to come back this year. A pity really." He commented looking mainly at the Gryffindors'. " A pity. Now listen up because I will not repeat myself." Severus continued to outline the school year. " Any questions."
Although Hermione's hand shot up, he ignored her.
" Good. Now for our first assignment you will be making a Terrak (A/N Tear- ack) Potion. It's an extremely volatile mixture because of the first three ingredients. If mixed correctly, it should calm down by the fifth ingredient and be able to protect you from all curses, excluding the unforgivable curses."
A few students shuddered, thinking of the danger that lurked outside of Hogwarts walls.
" Here is a list of ingredients needed for the potion. Find them and bring them back by next class." Anna scanned the list looking for a certain weed.
" Sir?" She asked, raising her hand.
" What?" He snapped.
" You're missing an ingredient. With what you have here, this is more likely to blow up than calm down." Anna said, trying to disappear now that she had EVERYONE'S attention. No one had ever questioned Snape before.
" Well." He paused a second. " I'm glad someone picked up on it. I will be providing that certain weed next time. I wouldn't have if you hadn't noticed it. You all owe Miss Terrise, here, your life. Dismissed. Go on git!" He yelled when they didn't move fast enough.
" What?" Everyone was staring at the girl as if she'd grown a second head.
