Chapter 7: The Potions Lesson
The next class Kay, Lexine and Erin decided to attend was Potions with Professor Snape. Lexine explained to Kay how much of an "asshole" he was.
Kay grinned evily and rubbed her hands together. "Hehe...I'll have LOTS of fun with him."
Harry, Ron and Hermione were already there when they reached the dungeon where the lesson was to be held. Snape, as soon as he caught sight of Harry, sneered. "Ah yes--Harry Potter. Our new--CELEBRITY." He spoke the last word so sharply that it was almost as though it were a germ he was trying to get rid of. Draco Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle sniggered behind their hands. Kay glared at them. She looked around and saw some hideous specimens in jars on old, dusty shelves. She noticed a large cabinet with the lable FORBIDDEN on it. Snape came right up to Harry who was frowning. "You are here to learn the subtle science ane exact art of potion-making." he began. "As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe that this is magic." He then started to walk up and down the isles, his black cloak swishing as he went along. "I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that..."
"Like IODINE?" Kay asked loudly.
Ron sniggered.
Snape whirled around to face the psi-mage. "Did I ASK you to speak?" he snapped. Kay shrugged and looked at him without blinking. "I didn't THINK so." Snape turned his back to her. "NOW. As I was saying--ensnaring the senses. I can teach you..."
"I like peas!" shouted Lexine randomly.
Kay began pounding a fist on her desk and the three girls sung "Snow peas and snap peas and big peas and small peas..." to the song from the Sound of Music 'My Favorite Things'. At this point, Snape looked ready to send them straight to an executioner. Ron and Harry were both rolling on the ground laughing along with the other Gryffindor's who had suddenly formed a circle around the classroom (even Hermione joined in) and began swaying back and forth as they sang along with Kay, Lexine and Erin.
"STOP THIS!" Snape bellowed. "TEN POINTS FROM GFYFFINDOR! SIT DOWN!"
Kay aimed a finger at Snape and ZAP
The Slytherin students gasped. Snape looked at Malfoy with a cocked eyebrow. "What?" he asked.
"Professor--your--your hair!"
Snape's dark eyes widened as he pulled out his desk drawer to retrieve a mirror and looked into it. His screech could be heard all throughout Hogwarts. He had an ENORMOUS pink afro with shiny blue sparkles mixed in. Snape took a glass phial from the top of his desk and threw it in Kay's direction. The psi-mage screamed and ducked, and ran around the classrom.
"Run, Kay! Run!" Katie Bell, another Gryffindor student, shouted anxiously as Snape dove for Kay, missing the hood of her sweatshirt by an inch. Kay aimed a finger at Snape and ZAP Snape flew backwards. The Slytherins were watching this comotion with their mouths hanging open. Kay hid behind Lexine, trying to avoid being caught. "Don't hurt me..." Kay begged.
"GET...OUT..." Snape wheezed. "NOW."
Kay grabbed Erin and Lexine's arms and they bolted out of the room, jumping as they heard Snape slam it shut behind them. When they were far enough away from Snape's room to be safe, Kay sat down on the floor panting. "Oh Lordy...does he have a stick up his ass or what?" The psi-mage asked breathlessly.
Lexine laughed. "That was fun, though."
Erin looked at both of her friends with a raised eyebrow.
Later that evening, Ron and Harry met up with the three of them in the common room. "That," Ron began, "was GREAT! You're bloody brilliant!"
Kay grinned proudly. "Thank you."
"Hey," began Harry. "Tomorrow is our first flying lesson. Do you want to come with us?"
Kay's lips then again curled into an evil smile as she turned to look at Erin and lexine. "Hehehehehehe--"
The wild mage gulped nervously as she frowned at Erin. "Uh oh." she whispered, knowing nothing good would come out of this.
