Potions ended up being worse then any of them had figured. Both Cameron and Harry had gotten the idea that Snape didn't like them too much. They where wrong, Snape hated them, he was particularly nasty to Harry, but he was also nasty to Dan, Cameron he just didn't like and glared at him every time he walked by, like he knew Cameron from somewhere but couldn't figure out where. Cameron felt bad for Harry and Dan, because they got the brute of everything. When Snape did roll call, he paused at Cameron's name, and gave Cameron a look like he didn't believe that was Cameron's last name, and glared at Cameron as if Cameron's true last name would appear on his face he also sneered.
"Mr. Jenkins, please remove those ridiculous glasses"
All the Slytherins laughed as Cameron slowly took his sunglasses off and slipped them into his pocket. The light wasn't bright in the dungeons, and what little light there was came from candles Snape is lucky its not all that bright down here Cameron thought or else I wouldn't agree to this.
Then Malfoy whispered
"Hey Jenkins don't faint now, wouldn't want Dumbledore rushing down here to
Get a stretcher for you now would we."
Cameron desperately wanted to say something back to Malfoy, but Snape's glaring at him brought him back to facing front and staring at the large cauldron in front of them. Snape also paused at Harry's name just like Professor Flitwick had. Unfortunately for Harry unlike Flitwick Snape wasn't falling out of his chair in excitement.
"Ah yes, Harry Potter our new- Celebrity."
He sneered when he reached Dan's name too
"Well, well, well, Potter and Tomas, hmm isn't this quite a coincidence, the famous Harry Potter and the famous Daniel Tomas, now aren't we missing some individuals from the little group?" he said sarcastically,
Dan looked dumbfounded, and Cameron knew what he was thinking, Dan didn't even know what he was famous for, Harry did sort of, but Dan didn't. Why was Snape picking on them more then anyone? And what did he mean somebody was missing. He couldn't possibly mean Cameron, could he? Maybe I should ask Uncle Remus who else was in Marauders group. Besides Uncle Remus, Max Tomas and Harry's Dad I think… who where the other guys in the picture. Cameron thought.
Snape jumped right into a long explanation of what the class would be learning.
"Potter, what would I get if I added powdered root asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Snape suddenly asked.
Harry looked dumbfounded; he looked desperately at Ron, Dan, and Cameron, who looked just as stumped. Hermione's hand however shot up
"I don't know sir" Harry said
Snape looked at Harry like he expected this and asked Harry another question
"Lets try again. Potter, where would you look if I told you to find me a Bezoar?"
Again Harry looked stumped, Cameron had heard of a Bezoar before but didn't know what they where or where to look for one. Hermione's hand stretched up as far as it would go, and Cameron was sure the next question she'd be out of her seat.
"I don't know sir" Harry said
The next question however Cameron did know.
"What is the difference between monkshood and Wolfsbane?"
Cameron's hand shot up, anyone with werewolf blood knew what Wolfsbane was and had to know what monkshood was, because Cameron knew they where the same plant. Also known as aconite. Snape however ignored both Cameron and Hermione and continued sneering at Harry.
"I don't know, I think Hermione and Cameron do though, why don't you try one of them"
A few people laughed, Cameron, Ron, and Dan exchanged a grin. Snape however was not pleased. He yelled at Hermione to sit down, and launched into a speech answer his questions. And it was all Cameron could keep from saying 'duh' when Snape told them what the difference between Wolfsbane and Monkshood was and took a point off of Gryffindor.
The class didn't get any better, for Gryffindor that is. Snape put them in pairs to make a simple potion to cure boils. Fortunately for both Cameron and Dan, they where pretty good at making potions, which gave Snape who looked slightly disappointed in his sneering sort of way, no reason to criticize them. But there where also no praises either all of Snape's praises where going to Malfoy. Next to Dan and Cameron, Ron and Harry where working together and next to them, Neville and Seamus where having a tough time, as Neville accidentally melted Seamus's cauldron and Neville's face began popping with boils. Snape yelled at Neville and sent him up to the infirmary. Then he rounded on Harry and Ron and began yelling at Harry making it seem like it was Harry's fault that Neville had accidentally added Porcupine quills before taking the cauldron off the fire. He took another point from Gryffindor. One thing that made it a bit better was the sight of Serena bursting into the dungeon. She was flushed from running and kept flapping a hand in front of her face. Cameron had the impression that she didn't want to laugh.
"What is it Assistant Professor?"
Serena went, if possible, redder. As she struggled to form a complete thought.
"Weasley…Nealan…. woman!" suddenly she burst into hysterical laugher, sitting down hard on the floor. Snape was livid.
"Why are interrupting my class Serena?"
Several students gulped. They wouldn't be laughing that hard if Snape had used that tone with them.
"Gred…. Forge…potion…woman!!" she was crying now, tears of laugher streaming down her face. She was still flapping her hand. Snape's skin turned the color of sour milk as he fought not to scream at his baby sister.
"Once more and if I can't understand you, you'll have to fix whatever it is on your own."
Serena took a huge breath and when she began speaking it was very fast.
"FredandGeorgeWeasleygaveNealanapotionthatturnedimintoawomanTheyscreweditupitwassupposedtoturnhimgreen!" Snape took a step back, startled.
"Are you sure?"
"Ahhh, I think I know what a woman looks like."
"Yes of course," Snape's voice was oddly tight. Cameron had a feeling he was trying very hard not to laugh, "I will attend to it watch the class for a moment while I make the potion to fix this…unfortunate…accident."
"Me? Cover a potions class? Are you on crack?" Snape didn't answer, he was gone. Serena stood up and eyed the class wearily. The class eyed her back. Suddenly she let out a snort and burst into laughter again, this time the class joined her. The laughter quickly stopped, however, when Snape re-entered the room.
"Tell him to drink this directly," he handed her a bottle containing potion the color of bile. Serena nodded and sped off. When they left the dungeon an hour later Harry was still wondering why Snape hated him.
"Cheer up" Ron said "Snape's always taking points off Fred and George. Say can we come and meet Hagrid?"
