Disclaimer: Most of these characters, or fictional places or really almost anything but the plot do not belong to me (obviously) they belong to the most wonderful and greatest genius ever. JKR of course. *CHEERS* If I take anything form anywhere else I will make sure to put it at the beginning of every chapter.
A/N: Harry not liking Iris came up totally all of a sudden! I had no idea that Harry was going to do that. So now I have to rack my brains and see how to fit that into my plot...For the first time on my fic (and its only one of the few times) I will show Snape's point of view...Lily, thanks for the "wishing me good luck" and I do hope you become one of those "OMG, that was so good" but only if its true. *Laughs*...and thanx to A.dee for beta-reading and for saying my fic is good...its greatly appreciated. Once again...Enjoy my newest chapter.
6.Potions and Sevie.
Iris knocked on Snape's office door. "Enter." She walked in and saw Snape standing by a cauldron.
"What do you want?" He said impatiently. All right! Thought Iris, he doesn't remember that I have detention. I may get out of this yet.
"Professor, I just wanted to say that..." Iris searched for something to say. Her eyes darted around the room as though looking for clues. "I just came because I wanted to see your office, sir. But I'll just go now." She turned towards the door smiling at herself despite the stupid excuse she had come up with.
"Wait just a second Miss Hernandez." Her heart sank "Did you honestly think that I would not remember you detention today?" He smiled wickedly.
"A dumbass like you? Yes."
"I'd watch your tongue if I were you. There are worse punishments worse than this at Hogwarts," he said, his voice low but clear. She looked back at him with hatred in her eyes. "Okay Snape, what will my big scary punishment be?" Said Iris in a mocking tone. Iris noted all the things floating in jars around her and suspected he was going to make her clean them out or something equally gross. Except that to Iris it wasn't gross.
"Tell me, Miss Hernandez, do you really think yourself capable of creating a Draught of Peace without the help of Miss Granger?"
"Yes, sir."
"So go ahead and do it," said Snape.
"Yes, sir." Snape showed her to a cauldron and the ingredients. "Begin," he said to Iris.
"But, Professor, where are the instructions?"
"I thought you said you could do this with your eyes closed. In other words, no directions." He smiled and looked to see her reaction.
"Okay then...I will." Iris struggled to remember all the ingredients she would need. She worked in complete silence for an hour and fifteen minutes. When she was finished she looked down at her potion in disgust. Instead of the silver vapor that should have been coming out of her cauldron there was thick blue smoke. Damn, where did I go wrong? She thought, her mind racing. The last thing she wanted was for him to think she had messed up. Too late, the Potions Master sneaked up behind her and said quietly: "Would you care to tell me what in the world you have created?"
"I don't know. Why don't you tell me?" She said sarcastically.
"Well, I like to call it garbage, " he said cruelly and then added "Evanesco." Her potion disappeared and then he said "Do it again."
She opened her mouth to complain but thought better about it and instead said "Will you at least tell me what is wrong with it so that I won't make the same mistake twice?"
"Do you know what the third step is, Miss Hernandez?"
'Yeah. Add the moonstone and stir six times clockwise, let it simmer for seven minutes, then two drops of hellebore. Right?'
'Wrong.' Iris thought to herself.
"Oh no."
"Yes?"
"I mixed up the potions...the Draught of Peace isn't stirred six times, only three and it's stirred counter clockwise. It's the Calming Concoction that's stirred six times."
"Very well, you may go."
"But I thought-"
"Miss Hernandez if you talk back to me one more time I will make it three weeks worth of detention and the next ones will not be as pleasant as this one was." Iris suddenly got an idea that would make her Potions Master so angry, if she could risk it. She smiled to herself and walked towards the door she then turned and said to Snape:
"Detention was so much fun, Sevie" and was out the door before he had a chance to chastise her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Severus opened his mouth in shock.
"How dare she call me Sevie?" He said, with disgust in his voice. He was quite amazed, although of course he didn't show it, at the girl's competence for potion-brewing. He really hadn't expected her to remember the directions to the Draught of Peace and he definitely had not expected her to know what she had done wrong.
Maybe, he thought to himself, we'll finally have a real Potion-maker in the Gryffindor fifth year, besides that insufferable know-it-all Granger. He contemplated that idea but soon forgot all about the new American girl when the Mark burned his arm and he knew the Dark Lord was calling him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When Iris reached the dormitory she threw herself on her bed and thought about the events of the day. When she had entered the common room, Hermione was pouring over a book. She noticed Iris come in but didn't say anything to her. Ron said "Hi, Iris, how was detention?" Iris looked at him and said "It went as I expected it to go. I'm going to bed," and walked toward the girl's staircase. As she went up the stairs she distinctly heard Ron say to Hermione "What's wrong with her?" But Iris shut the door before she could hear Hermione reply.
