Chapter 10
By the next day, they still hadn't learned from Dumbledore who was going teach them how to handle their weapons. So*took out comma* they had no choice but go to their lesson after breakfast, which was, much to Harry, Ron and Hermione's disgust.
"Potions!" exclaimed Ron, outraged.
"Oh, yeah," said Harry sarcastically, punching his fist in the air.
Hermione just groaned and rolled her eyes, while Draco smirked. They continued their way to the Great Hall and entered. Everybody inside the hall stopped what they were doing and looked at them. The silence was broken by a shrill voice coming from the Slytherin table. Everybody continued their meals and completely ignored the new arrivals.
"Dracky!" shouted pug faced Pansy Parkinson as she ran towards them.
Harry, Ron and Hermione groaned and much to their surprise so did Draco. As Pansy reached them, she shot a look at Hermione and smirked.
"How are you Dracky? Are you okay? Why are you hanging out with this filthy mudblood?" she said while stroking Draco's arm.
Harry and Ron's eyes were full of fury and they were about to say something to her when Hermione stepped towards Pansy. To their shock, she had a smirk on her face.
"Pansy, call me a mudblood all you want, just don't do it in front of me because you will regret it, dearly. You're going to get something worst than this," Before anyone could say a word Hermione, clenched her right hand into a tight fist and hit it against Pansy's jaw. Hard. Very hard.
Pansy stumbled backwards holding her jaw and looking at Hermione in shock. Harry and Ron looked at Hermione wide eyed just like they had done when Hermione slapped Malfoy back at third year for insulting Hagrid. Even Draco was staring at Hermione unbelievingly. They couldn't believe Hermione, Head Girl and bookworm, could punch someone, especially a Slytherin.
"Remember what I said Pansy," said Hermione in a low cold as she regained her posture. "See you later at Potions," she added in a sweet voice and started walking to the Gryffindor table with Ron and Harry following behind her, leaving Draco and Pansy standing there.
"Hermione, that was awesome! I didn't know you were capable of punching her like that!" said Ron.
"Yeah Hermione, you were always against violence," added Harry.
"Well, there are times where we need to make exceptions, and all those years Draco called me a mudblood made me realize that it's just a word and it won't affect me at all. It's not like I'm not going to be a witch anymore it she calls me that and at least that will get her of my back for a while" she said chuckling
Draco was about to go to the Slytherin table when Pansy caught his arm. "Dracky, aren't going to do anything about that m." but she was cut off by Draco.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Pansy, haven't you learn your lesson? Say the word and she will make you remember what she said just minutes ago. You never know, she might have sharp hearing," he said, nodding his head towards the Gryffindor table. Pansy looked over just in time to see Hermione glaring at her and mouthing, "Remember" before turning back to her meal. Pansy quickly turned away, still holding Draco's arm until he said, "Oh yeah, let go of my arm and clean yourself up. You look like shit." He smirked and yanked his arm away from her and continued his way to the Slytherin table. Pansy let out a frustrated shriek, which earned her weird looks, before stomping to the hospital wing.
Breakfast was done and the students poured out of the Great hall. Harry, Ron and Hermione went down to the dungeon and settled to their seats. Soon all the students were there both Gryffindors and Slytherins, including Pansy, who glared at a smirking Hermione who glared back. Soon after that, the greasy haired Potions teacher stormed into the classroom with the usual sneer on his face.
"Today we will be making a Sleep Potion. It is different from the Sleeping Draught because just one sniff from this potion will make you fall into a deep slumber. If a person drinks this or it gets injected to their system, they will fall into an everlasting sleep. There is an antidote which is supposed to be given instantly or they will fall asleep, forever. You will make this potion with a partner and I will assign your partner," he said and many people groaned.
"Brown and Zabini, Patil and Goyle, Finnigan and Crabbe, Weasley and Bulstrode, Potter and Parkinson, Granger and Malfoy." as he continued, the people who were already assigned started to move towards their partner, much to Ron and Harry's disgust. Draco transferred to the seat beside Hermione and smiled at her. Hermione blushed and smiled back. She felt someone staring at her. When she looked up she saw Pansy glaring, her eyes filled with jealousy. Hermione saw that and smirked at her. Draco looked at them both and chuckled while shaking his head.
"Now start and try not to mess up. The instructions are on the board and remember that the potion should be dark blue in the end. Begin!" he roared as the student started to work.
Time passed by until the class was almost over and everybody's potions were in different colors. Harry and Pansy's was dark green and bubbly, Ron and Millicent's was red and smoky, but Draco and Hermione's was dark blue, and therefore perfect.
Professor Snape passed by each table and criticized them any way he could. "Potter, your potion looks like troll's snot," he scowled as he passed by Harry's table. As he passed by Hermione and Draco's he scowled at Hermione when he saw it was perfect. "Good work Mr. Malfoy. 20 points for Slytherin," he said and started to walk away. Hermione bowed her head, wanting to say that she did half of the work but stopped herself because she didn't want to get detention. Draco looked at her and raised his hand. Snape notice and said, "Yes Mr. Malfoy?"
"Professor, Hermione did half of the work in our potion and I believe we are supposed to get the same amount of points," Draco said.
Snape and the other students- Gryffindors and Slytherins alike- looked at Draco like he belonged at St. Mungo's. Snape sneered and said, "Fine, 20 points for Gryffindor." With that he went back to his desk.
Class was 10 minutes from being over and the students were eagerly waiting to get out of class when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," drawled Professor Snape. McGonagall emerged behind the door and walked towards Snape and whispered something so that the other students couldn't hear. After a minute or two, Snape looked up. "Potter, Weasley, Granger and Malfoy, gather your things and go with Professor McGonagall," he said in a low voice.
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco gathered their things quickly and followed Professor McGonagall out the door, with the whole class staring at them and murmuring. Snape saw this and bellowed, "What are you doing stop gawking at them like a bunch of dogs? Get back to whatever you were doing!" The class bowed their heads and was once again silent.
The Heirs followed Professor McGonagall to the headmaster's office and realized that they were being called to find out who was to teach them how to handle their weapons. They reached the gargoyle and halted.
"Acid Pops," said Professor McGonagall.
The gargoyle jumped out of the way and the revolving staircase was revealed. They stepped on it and when they got to the headmaster's office, Albus Dumbledore was waiting for them smiling, sitting in his chair.
"Come in. Thank you, Minerva, for bringing them. You can go back now," he said. Minerva nodded and left.
Dumbledore waved his wand. Four chairs appeared and the Heirs took a seat.
"Today you will know who is going to teach you to handle your weapons, but first you must summon your weapons," he said.
They nodded and closed their eyes and concentrated. The weapons began to materialize on their hands.
"Good, now I'll call Ms. Granger's guardian." Dumbledore stood up and threw Floo Powder and shouted, "Serena Grizelda" and with that a woman's face appeared on the fire
"Yes Albus?" said a woman's voice.
"Serena, the heirs are here and are ready for you. Please inform Gordon while you're at it," the headmaster said
"Yes, Albus, it's my pleasure," and with that the head vanished from the fire.
After five minutes, a hooded figure came out of the fireplace. The figure looked up and pulled the hood off. It was a woman with sparkling blue eyes, angelic features, and long silky blonde hair, which had tiny braids on the sides. She had a tall and slim figure that made guys go gaga. She was wearing a dark green, long sleeved shirt with a hooded navy blue vest over it and tight navy pants and black high boots. She had a bow and arrows on her back, which meant her expertise was archery. Harry, Ron and Draco were staring at her with their mouths open. She smiled at them and turned to Dumbledore.
"Here I am Dumbledore and Gordon said he's going to catch up," the woman said.
"No need to worry. Now, lets make the introductions," said Dumbledore.
Serena nodded and smiled at the four and said, "No need Albus, I think I can guess". She walked over to Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco and stood in front of them. She nodded at Harry and said, "Can I borrow your weapon, please, and what's your name?" she said and she caught a glance on the scar on Harry's forehead. "Oh, never mind. You're Harry Potter," she added. Harry nodded and handed his weapon to Serena. Serena gripped the handle and examined it, then said "Great grip. Rubies, so you must be Godric Gryffindor's heir. Am I correct?" she asked, handing the sword back. Harry nodded and took it. Serena moved to Draco and asked, "May I know your name and see your weapon?"
Draco smirked and said "Draco Malfoy," while handing his weapon to Serena.
She took it and said "Ahhh, Lucius's son. Are you sure you're not planning to be a Death Eater?" her voice serious.
The Golden Trio was shocked about this question and so was Draco but said "There is no way I'm going to bow down to someone who was defeated by a one- year-old child and kills people for fun," he said coldly looking Serena in the eye.
Serena smiled at him and said, looking at his sword, "Curved, emeralds. You're Salazar's heir, am I right?" she asked Draco. Draco smirked then nodded, taking his sword back from Serena. She then moved to Ron who handed his weapon automatically. She smiled at him and asked, "What's your name?"
Ron answered and said, "Ron Weasley". Serena smiled once more.
"You're Arthur's son. What a jolly fellow!" she said chuckling, then examined the axe before saying, "Light, but a very dangerous blade. Topazes, then your Hufflepuff's heir, is that correct?" she asked sternly giving the axe back to Ron. He nodded *take out his head* and took the axe back. Finally she reached Hermione and said "I'll assume your Ravenclaw's and it is my knowledge that your weapons are a bow and arrows?" she asked softly. Hermione nodded.
"My name's Hermione Granger. Nice to meet you," she said, extending her hand.
Serena smiled and shook her hand. "Now, can I borrow your bow and one arrow please?" she asked sweetly. Hermione handed her the bow and pulled out one arrow from her back and handed it to her. Serena thanked her and took out her wand, and conjured a bull's-eye at the end of the office stepped back a bit and readied her position. She aimed and then shot the arrow, which soared like a comet and hit the target the center of the target. She smiled and said, handing the bow back to Hermione, "This is an awesome weapon and I am looking forward to helping you learn how to use it." Hermione nodded and stepped back.
Suddenly there was a loud crash and a grunt was heard from the fireplace. Then a large figure emerged and looked up. It was a large man who has an axe strapped on his back. He had a bushy brown beard and brown hair. Basically, he looked like a mini Hagrid.
"Hey, Dumbledore, I'm here. Whom will I be teaching?" he asked in a friendly, yet gruff voice
"Ahhh, students, this is Gordon White, an experienced blacksmith and has specialties in handling an axe," Dumbledore said chuckling. "This Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger," pointing at the respected person.
"Why, hello everybody," he took a glance at Ron's axe, then said, "So you're the lucky bloke, ey? Aren't you Weasley's son?"
Ron nodded and Harry tried to refrain himself from laughing, while Draco smirked and Hermione tried to stifle a giggle for the look of nervousness on Ron's face. He was obviously scared of the guy.
"Well, now that's over, Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy, I assume you want to know who will be your teachers?" Dumbledore asked calmly.
"That's why we're here, right?" Draco sneered. Harry, Ron and Hermione shot him a glare, but he just smirked. His Malfoy attitude was surfacing again.
"Very, well. You both are going to be taught by two people. One is our very own Professor Snape. As you know he has a class right now," said Albus.
Harry looked outraged and Ron and Hermione looked at him with sympathy written in their eyes. Draco just shrugged and nodded.
"And accompanying Professor Snape is." he was cut off, by a voice.
"Me of course." All of them turned their heads towards the door and Harry, Ron and Hermione's eyes widened. Harry was grinning like crazy. He couldn't believe it.
