Hermoine joined Harry and Ron as they trudged into their least favorite class, Potions. Sitting in the back of the class as usual, they quietly took out their cauldrons and waited for Snape to make his dreaded appearance.
The door finally slammed open, causing the whole class to jump as Professor Snape walked quickly up to the board and with a flick of his wrist, the ingredients appeared on the blackboard. With another flick, the method appeared as well. "You now have the ingredients and method." He waved his wand impatiently at his cupboard and the doors flew open. "30 mins. Start."
Hermoine gazed at the blackboard with apparent interest. Even the infamous reputation of Snape couldnt stop her from shivering with exitement at the thought of brewing something so intense and difficult potion. As the minutes ticked by, Hermoine added the ingrediants as needed, heated and cooled, stirred the potion counter-clock wise, all while side-glancing at Harry on her right and Ron on her left, checking on their progress, but being able to say nothing, while Snape always lingered nearby.
"Your potion should now be a dull orange and be emitting green sparks," Snapes ominous voice drawled out. Walking among the students, he would smirk every now and then at a Gryffindors progress. Arriving at Hermoines cauldron, he glared down at her orange potion spitting out greenish sparks. Saying nothing, he passed by and looked severly down at Harry's cauldron, which was bright red and spitting out no sparks but smelling like mans cologne.
All the Slytherins heads perked up simutaniously as they heard the Professors voice ring out menacingly in a tone he reserved for only Harry. "I do believe i asked you to add wolfsbane before the dragon scales and then stirring clock wise 5 and a half times while adding shredded frog liver. Did you do that?" He said quietly with a dangerous calmness.
Harrys face lit up bright red and it was apparent that he was fighting back the urge to snap off at him. "Yes."
"Then I'm guessing you didnt add the 3 drops of Doxy Venom?"
Harry's lip quivered, "No," then, as if rethinking it, he added, "sir."
Professor Snapes face lit up triumphantly as he disposed of Harry's useless potion with another flick of his wand. "Would everyone that did do the potion correctly, please leave a sample on my desk with your name on the bottle."
Once out of the class, Hermoine pulled Harry and Ron aside with an outrageously furious look on her face, though nothing near the look on Harry's face. Not needing to say anything else, Ron said, "Lets just go eat."
