I do not own Harry Potter or its characters. That privilage lies with JK Rowling, Schoolastic, Bloomsbury and Warner Bros.
Chapter 8
Harry woke the next morning, got dressed and went down to the Great Hall with Ron and Hermione. Harry was just getting some eggs and bacon when Professor McGonagall was passing out the terms schedules. Harry took a look and groaned
"Double potions with Snape." Harry finished the rest of his breakfast and hurried out with Hermione and Ron closely following him. The trio made their way down toward the dungeons and found only nine or ten students waiting to be admitted into the class. Harry saw Malfoy standing in the corner talking to the new girl. She looked like she was doing the best that she could to read her book and not pay attention to him, but was doing a bad job.
Snape came down the stairs and admitted the students to his class room. Harry took a seat next to Ron and Hermione took a seat next to a Ravenclaw girl Harry didn't know. Snape started off the class very much like he did last years.
"To those of you who were lucky enough to make it to my class with the required grades congratulations. To the few who will make it through to next year's N.E.W.T classes," he said with a glance at Harry "this will be a difficult year if you do not pay attention. The potion we will be doing today is a Confusing and Befuddlement Draughts. It is a difficult potion you will need to do everything in the exact order, or you will find that it is a deadly poison. The ingredients and directions are on the board," Snape waved his wand "You have one hour. Begin."
Harry found that the potion was difficult. He was checking Hermione's potion for the color when Snape came walking by and looked down his nose at Harry's potion. Apparently, he could find nothing wrong with it yet, so he snorted and walked along the row looking at all the other students potions. Snape stopped by Hermione's caldron and muttered something that only she could hear and continued on to the next caldron. He reached Malfoy's cauldron and almost smiled at him. Finally, he reached the new girl. Harry's attention went back to his cauldron to finish his potion.
They were nearing the end of the class when Snape announced that the potions would need to sit for twelve hours in order to make the last ingredients be mixed into the potions.
"Your potions will be tested in the morning and will be graded on how well it performs. Dismissed."
Harry gathered his books and notes and as Harry was walking out of the dungeon with Ron and Hermione he noticed Malfoy whispering something to the new girl. She stepped back for a moment and contemplated something.
"Do you think we should say something to her about Malfoy?" Hermione whisperd?
"No, lets see where she is going with this one." Harry said, watching the two students.
She smiled, whispered something back to Malfoy and walked off. Malfoy went pink, was obviously angry with whatever she said to him and walked off in the other direction. He said nothing to Harry, Ron and Hermione as he walked by them.
