Please review!!!!
********************************************* "We're going to be late!" Hermione exclaimed.
"We just got out of lunch. We can't be late!" Ron remarked. He and Harry were trying to keep up with Hermione who was speed walking to potions. Several other Gryffindors were right behind them. Others were running ahead.
"We made it!" Ron exclaimed as they walked into the dungeon and took their seats. Most of the Slytherins were there already. Some Gryffindors were there while others followed the trio in.
"Think again, Weasley," Snape said coming into the room. "You and most of the other Gryffindors all arrived to my class late. Fifty points from Gryffindor!" The Gryffindors groaned. Harry didn't miss this class or the teacher one bit.
"I see we have a guest today," Snape sneered as he took a seat at his desk. "Mr. Potter, how nice of you to join us although since you're so out of practice, I doubt you'd be able to do what we're doing today. I don't understand why you even bothered to come."
"Me either, sir," Harry replied. "I just thought that I might actually learn something." The Gryffindors looked at Harry in surprise as well as some of the Slytherins. Many snickered.
Snape glared at Harry but continued as if ignoring Harry's comment. "Today we're going to be working on a very complicated potion. Those of you who can't follow directions or simply can't make a simple potion will indeed have problems." He looked over at the Gryffindors. His main target was Neville. "Does anyone know anything about the Hythermine potion?" Harry's hand went up.
"Would you care to try, Mr. Potter? Let's see what you know, shall we?" Snape sneered.
"Let's see," Harry replied thinking. "The Hythermine potion was created before the time of the founders of Hogwarts. It was a potion used to completely wipe a person of their powers. Many dark wizards used it to kill other wizards. Although created, those who made it tried to keep it secret. Its secrecy was kept for about two hundred years until it was uncovered and banned and I highly doubt that Dumbledore would give you permission to have us make it," Harry finished with a smirk. The students looked at him in shock.
"For your information, Potter, I don't need permission to brew potions in class," Snape said angry at the correct answer.
"Well I still highly doubt that the potion is allowed," Harry replied.
"Twenty five points from Gryffindor for your talking," Snape said before ordering the students to take out the supplies needed. He then quickly told them what the ingredients were before telling them to pair up.
"Potter, I want you and Malfoy to work together," Snape demanded. Harry pretended to groan as he looked over towards Draco. He groaned also and gave Harry a glare.
"I guess he thinks that he's making our time here horrible by having us working together," Draco said as he moved over to Harry's desk.
"Well, who has to tell him the truth?" Harry asked.
"Back to the old times?" Draco asked smirking.
"Of course," Harry replied putting ingredients on the table. They were going to make the potion in Harry's cauldron.
"Who do you think he's going to use this on?" Ron asked. Him and Hermione were working together behind them.
"Take a wild guess, Ron," Harry replied.
"That's what I thought," Ron replied before going back to his work.
"What do we do now?" Draco asked.
"Why should I tell you?" Harry replied. The acting starts.
"Because if you don't, you'll have a new scar on your face," Draco replied holding up his knife.
"Here's the list, you read and figure it out," Harry replied handing him the list of procedures.
"Fine then," Draco said looking over the list. Harry was adding water to the cauldron.
"What do we need to do first?" Harry asked looking over the ingredients.
"You can do the first thing on the list," Draco said handing the list over. Harry looked at it. The first thing was to cut up a Wolf's tongue.
"You know what," Harry said looking disgusted at the list. "I don't think I packed that."
"You weren't suppose to," Snape said from behind them. He put a jar down on the table. It was filled with yellow juice and a pink thing in the middle. "That's something we supply."
"Care to do the honors?" Snape sneered, picking up a knife on the table and handing it to Harry.
"I just ate thank you very much," Harry replied back without taking the knife.
"Then fail," Snape sneered.
"That's not a fair choice," Hermione said.
"I'm not talking to you, silly girl! Twenty-five points from Gryffindor!" he said. Hermione just looked at him angry.
"Everyone will get a jar and finish the potion. Then we'll have some volunteers try them out," he said looking over at Harry who glared at him back. The glare almost made Snape shiver.
"Do something!" Ron said. "I can't cut this up!" Snape was putting a jar on each of the tables.
"We have no choice," Harry replied.
"The potion is due in fifteen minutes. I suggest that everyone go back to your work," Snape said before taking a seat at the front. In a few minutes, everyone got through cutting and was placing items into their cauldrons.
"Neville!" Hermione shouted. Neville accidentally put too much of the beetle eggs making the potion bubble and pop. It turned a black color. It was suppose to be dark blue.
"Shh," Harry said quietly. "Don't draw Snape's attention. Go back to what you were doing." Hermione and the rest of the class went back to normal as Harry closed his eyes and concentrated on the potion. He concentrated on the ingredients in the potion and began making any extras, disappear. The potion slowly turned dark blue. After a few more minutes, everyone had finished and was cleaning up.
"That was gross," Lavender said as Harry walked by.
"That was nothing," he replied. "Remember, he's going to make one of us drink it."
"You seem certain that you know who he'll pick," Lavender pointed out.
"I think everyone knows who he's going to pick," Harry answered as he walked back to his table with a wet cloth. He washed the table before getting rid of the cloth and sitting down.
"Now, if all of you have done this correctly, all should be dark blue and they should all work," Snape said as he walked around. He stopped at Neville's potion and looked at it and him with hatred. "Who helped him?" he demanded. No one answered. "Granger! How many times do I have to tell you?"
"You have no proof that she helped him!" Ron said.
"It was her then," Snape said.
"Why can't you believe that Neville can make a potion correctly?" Harry asked.
"Because most people get this potion wrong. Only a few people have managed to get it right after practice. Plus, this is Longbottom we're talking about," Snape answered.
"That's comforting," Harry said to Draco as Snape continued his rounds around the class until reaching the front.
"Who would like to volunteer? How about a Gryffindor?" Snape asked looking around the room. "Or how about Potter? Guests first."
"You're giving me the honor of drinking the first potion? You shouldn't have. You know what, I'm not feeling that well and I wouldn't mind if you went before me," Harry replied smirking.
"Would you like to lose more house points?" Snape asked. Harry looked at him and then to the potions. He really didn't want to drink one. Then again, he would loose house points. "Your answer?"
"Let's get this over with," Harry said as he stood and headed to the front.
"I think I'll have you try Longbottom's." He walked over to the cauldron with a goblet and a spoon. He filled the goblet before walking back to Harry and handing him the cup. "Drink up," he said smirking.
Harry looked at the class. Hermione, Ron and the rest of the Gryffindors were giving him a worried glance. Draco mouthed a quick, 'Good luck.' He looked at the goblet not believing that he was to drink this. Looking at Hermione and shrugged telling her that he had no choice before drinking the potion. The effect was instant. The glass went crashing to the ground. Harry fell to his knees. His whole body hurt. He felt weaker and weaker. He began feeling numb all over. His head felt fuzzy as his vision blurred. Blue and green light filled the room.
Snape was surprised at the boy's reaction. Usually wizards feel slight pain. He didn't think it would effect the boy this much. He had no clue where the light came from. That never happened before.
"What did you do to him?" Hermione yelled. She stood from her seat and started to run towards Harry but Snape stopped her.
"Stay in your seats!" he ordered. The Gryffindors looked frightened and worried. Draco was worried as well but he tried to hide it. It wasn't easy. Hermione heard the worry in the professor's voice.
"This wasn't suppose to happen was it?" she asked as she tried to get out of her seat again.
"Remain in your seat!" Snape ordered. He looked at the boy. Harry was still on fours on the floor. He didn't seem like he was ready to get up. Hermione didn't listen to him as she ran up to help Harry.
"Stand up!" Snape ordered. Harry stayed on the floor. He was breathing softly but unevenly. His eyes were closed. Snape yelled again. Harry reached up and grabbed the desk near by to help him up. With all the strength he could gather, he got off the floor and almost to a standing position with Hermione helping him. She put an arm around his waist to help him.
"Try to use your wand," he heard a voice say. It was the professor but Harry was too dizzy to hear things correctly. He reached into his pocket and grabbed his wand. He opened his eyes slightly and found a paperweight. Pointing his wand at it, he whispered the levitation spell but nothing happened.
"Well the potion worked as you can see," Snape said to the class.
"Is he suppose to be that weak?" Draco asked as he watched Hermione grabbing onto Harry. Instead of her helping him stand, it seemed that as the minutes passed, she was actually holding him up.
"It's a side effect of the potion," Snape answered. Harry gave up trying to stand as he fell a few feet before Hermione could keep him still. Ron rushed up to help. Together they got Harry upright again. His eyes were closed and his head was down. He looked like he was sleeping.
"Want to bring him down to the hospital wing?" Ron asked Hermione as he took more and more of Harry's weight from her.
"No," Harry said softly. He obviously wasn't completely unconscious.
"You need to get help!" Hermione persisted.
"I'm fine," Harry said as forcefully as he could. Snape checked his watch. The potion they made was only supposed to last a minute. It was over that time.
"Are you sure, mate?" Ron asked worried.
"Set him in a chair," Draco said getting out of his seat. He helped them bring Harry to a chair and set him down. Draco moved to another table to give room for Ron and Hermione to sit next to him.
"How long is the potion supposed to be in effect?" Lavender asked.
"Only a minute," Snape responded.
"What's going on here?" a woman's voice asked loudly from the doorway. Stacy looked around at the amount of light in the room.
"We're working on the Hythermine potion," Snape answered.
"Albus would never let you do that potion!" she said as she walked in the room. She looked around at the light in confusion before her eyes went wide. "Which of my students are here?" she asked frantically.
"Harry," Hermione answered.
"You didn't!" Stacy exclaimed. "Not to him!"
"He had him drink the potion," Ron said. Stacy ran over to them and saw Harry. He was sitting in a chair but Ron and Hermione were holding him up. His head was down and his eyes were closed. His skin was pale.
"Harry," Stacy called kneeling down by him. "Open your eyes. Come on, look at me." Harry opened his eyes slightly to look at Stacy before closing them again. "Keep your eyes open," Stacy ordered.
"What's with the light?" a Slytherin asked.
"It's where the powers of a person goes," Stacy answered. "The green stands for what powers Harry doesn't have at his age but will have in the future. The blue represents what he does have and can do."
Suddenly the light in the room dimmed. "Whoa," Hermione responded at the sudden decrease of light. "What's happening?"
"It seems that the potions master made you create a potion that would take away your powers for a short amount of time. Harry's powers are returning to him now that the potion that is keeping them here is disappearing," Stacy said. She turned to Snape. "Isn't that right?"
"I know what I'm doing,' Snape said.
"Then don't use one of my students as your Guinea Pig," Stacy said. Harry groaned.
"How are you feeling?" Hermione asked.
"I'm never drinking anything dark blue again," Harry responded putting a hand to his head. Hermione and Ron were able to remove their hands from Harry. Harry could hold himself onto a chair now.
"It's a good thing that your powers are coming back," Stacy said breathing in a deep sigh of relief.
"I totally agree with you on that one," Harry replied. The light in the room continued to dim until it was all gone.
"Come on," Stacy said grabbing his arm and helping him up.
"I'm not going to the hospital wing," Harry demanded.
"And I'm not about to bring you there. I'm bringing you back to the common room. By the time we get there, you'll be all clear headed and back to normal. I hope," she added.
"Terrific," Harry replied sarcastically at her last remark. "By guys," he said as he grabbed his bag and headed out of the room with Stacy at his side ready to catch him if he fell.
"I can't believe he tried that on you," Stacy said.
"Why did you come?" Harry asked.
"I had to tell Severus something but when I went to the classroom and saw the light, I knew something else was more important that a lousy message," Stacy answered.
"What was the message?" Harry asked.
"You know what?" Stacy said laughing. "I don't even remember. Seeing you made me forget about everything. When I saw you, all I thought about was if you were okay and how I was going to break the news to Sirius that you were turned into a muggle."
"He would've taken that too well," Harry replied.
"Not well at all," Stacy answered.
"Can we not tell anyone about this?" Harry asked. "I don't want anyone worrying about it."
"I understand but you have to promise that if you have any more side effects, you need to tell me. You don't have to tell the others about the potion but tell them that you aren't feeling well and to come and get me," Stacy said.
"Done," Harry said. They continued walking until they reached the Fat Lady. "Hey, I do feel better," Harry said.
"I knew you would. Just don't do anything that involves dueling or using a lot of your magic. It might be mostly all back but not all. Give the last bit a chance to find your body and find where it needs to be," Stacy said as they walked into the common room.
"Go fish," they heard Remus say by the couches. "Have any Merlins?"
"What are you playing?" Harry asked as they walked over.
"Go fish," Sirius said to Remus who picked up a card.
"We're playing Go fish," Remus answered. He looked at his cards as Sirius asked him a question.
"I can see that now," Harry replied. He went in back of Sirius and looked at his cards. Sirius had a Dumbledore. Looking at Remus, he transfigured a beard, wizard's hat and glasses onto his face before changing back.
With a slight laugh not to alert Sirius of his godson's tricks, he said, "Do you have any Dumbledores?"
Sirius grabbed his card and handed it over leaving Remus with one card left. "Do you have any centaurs?"
"Go fish," Remus answered. In back of Sirius, Harry made his clothes turn into black robes that covered his face before quickly changing them back. "Do you have any Dementors?"
Sirius handed over the card. "How did you win?" he asked surprised as Remus put his last cards down.
"I'm very psychic you know," he replied laughing.
"Who knew Sirius had those two cards?" Harry asked. Sirius turned to him and gave him a smirk. Harry smiled innocently back.
"You were behind me the whole time weren't you?" Sirius asked. He knew something was up. Harry smiled and nodded. "Cheater!" he yelled as he reached for Harry. He grabbed the child's arm and threw him onto one of the couches.
"I didn't cheat!" Harry said between laughs.
"Cheater!" Sirius said again before tickling Harry as he laid on the couch. Harry tried to get up but couldn't.
"Stop!" Harry yelled. Finally after a while, Sirius stopped leaving Harry gasping for breath.
"Now I know where you're ticklish," Sirius responded as Harry was still laying on the couch breathing deeply.
"Now I know never to let you lose to a card game," Harry replied. Sirius brought up his hands to again tickle Harry but Harry jumped onto a farther couch. "Don't you even think about it," Harry said as his breath became regular.
"This is comfortable," Sirius said as he laid on a recliner.
"I'm tired," Harry replied. Sirius laid on the recliner as he relaxed. Harry laid on the couch staring at the fire before falling asleep.

"Go fish," Remus answered. In back of Sirius, Harry made his clothes turn into black robes that covered his face before quickly changing them back. "Do you have any Dementors?"
Sirius handed over the card. "How did you win?" he asked surprised as Remus put his last cards down.
"I'm very psychic you know," he replied laughing.
"Who knew Sirius had those two cards?" Harry asked. Sirius turned to him and gave him a smirk. Harry smiled innocently back.
"You were behind me the whole time weren't you?" Sirius asked. He knew something was up. Harry smiled and nodded. "Cheater!" he yelled as he reached for Harry. He grabbed the child's arm and threw him onto one of the couches.
"I didn't cheat!" Harry said between laughs.
"Cheater!" Sirius said again before tickling Harry as he laid on the couch. Harry tried to get up but couldn't.
"Stop!" Harry yelled. Finally after a while, Sirius stopped leaving Harry gasping for breath.
"Now I know where you're ticklish," Sirius responded as Harry was still laying on the couch breathing deeply.
"Now I know never to let you lose to a card game," Harry replied. Sirius brought up his hands to again tickle Harry but Harry jumped onto a farther couch. "Don't you even think about it," Harry said as his breath became regular.
"This is comfortable," Sirius said as he laid on a recliner.
"I'm tired," Harry replied. Sirius laid on the recliner as he relaxed. Harry laid on the couch staring at the fire before falling asleep.
