Chapter 14: Potions Gone Wrong

-----

The six friends hurried down to double potions after lunch. Along the way, Lily walked into someone.

"Oops, sorry," she said. She had walked into Snape. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Sirius and Remus starring.

"Er, you slimy, uh, git!" she finally spat out. There was an audible sigh of relief from Sirius and Remus and even from Snape.

They continued walking along and finally reached the classroom. They were early.

"Five point from Gryffindor – EACH – for begging late," the potions teacher yelled.

"But we're EARLY!" Remus protested. Professor Edwards smirked at him and walked away.

After everybody came into class, Professor Edwards explained what they were going to do.

"You and the person I pair you up with are going to concoct the "Cold Potion". This cures the common cold. Now, when you're done, I will put a spell on one of you that gives you a cold. The other person will then give their partner the potion to see if it works. Any questions?" A boy in the front row raised his hand. "What is it, Aubell?"

"What will happen to the person with the cold if the potion doesn't work?"

"You'll be stuck with it for a few days," Edwards said with an evil grin. "Any more questions?" A few people raised their hands, but he ignored them. "Ok, I'm going to read you're name and partner and you will sit... somewhere. Marcus Daniels and Paul Perdente, Julia Smith and Lucius Malfoy (A/N: is that how u spell his name? I keep forgetting), James Potter and Jason Sierin, Lily Evans and Severus Snape..."

James walked over to Snape not believing his luck. Two words popped into his head at that moment: Prank Time.

On the other side of the room, Lily walked over to Sierin. He grinned at her and she noticed he had basically one tooth left in his mouth. She sat down as far away from him as she could, but close enough so it would look like she was working with him.

As Snape drawled on and on about him being a Mudblood (A/N: remember, he's in Lily's body), James was trying to think of a prank that he could do without anyone seeing. Then the perfect idea came to him. 'Veritaserum!' James suddenly thought. 'I can convince Snape to let me give him the potion, slip some Veritaserum into it, and give it to him! PERFECT!'

"Uh, Snape?" James said cutting Snape off.

"What is it now, Mudblood?" Snape spat.

"No offense or anything, but I think I have a better chance of getting us an 'A'," James said quickly. "So I think I should make the potion. You can receive the cold from Edwards... I'll give you the potion and we'll receive an 'A'!"

Snape thought about this for a moment before grinning. "Alright, we can do that."

"Ok," James said. He started mixing the ingredients – not knowing what he was doing – and then figured out how he would get the Veritaserum. He raised his hand.

"What?" Professor Edwards snapped.

"May I go to the bathroom?" James asked politely. Edwards snarled.

"If you MUST." James hopped up and speed out of the room. When Edwards turned his back, James sneaked back in and quietly went into his office.

"No, Sierin, you're putting the ingredients in wrong! No... stop it! We're gonna fail!" Lily was fed up with working with this idiot.

"Can I PLEASE change partners?!" she screamed at the professor.

"Potter, you will work with the person I assigned you to."

"Fine!" She turned back to Sierin, snatched the ingredients and put them in herself.

James snuck back out the door, the bottle of the potion in his hands. Lily's outfit didn't have any pockets, so he had to hold it. He casually walked back in and took his seat next to Snape.

"What took you so long, Mudblood?" Snape whispered.

"If you MUST know, I was fixing my hair," James said simply.

"It looks the same."

James turned red. "Your point?" 'Now to get Snape to look the other way...'

"Ooh! Look! A distraction!" James yelled. (A/N: lol) Snape's head snapped in the direction he was looking. He quickly poured the contents of the bottle out and stuffed the bottle into his bag.

"You done yet?" Snape asked impatiently as he turned back around.

"Uh huh," James said nodding. He filled a tube with some of the potion and walked with Snape up to the professor. "We're done," James announced.

"Good... for being the first group done, I award your houses 10 points... actually, make that 15 for Slytherin. I saw Snape doing most of the work." James rolled his eyes.

"Attention, class!" Everyone became silent. "We will watch Miss Evans and Mr. Snape." Edwards put a spell on Snape; he immediately started to sneeze his brains out.

"Give him the potion!" the professor yelled at James.

"Oh yeah..." Snape opened his mouth and James gave in the potion. Snape stopped sneezing a bit... and then became still altogether.

"Tell us your secrets," James whispered so that only Snape could hear him. Snape started blankly at the far wall, and began to talk.

"I still sleep with my teddy bear." Some people snorted at this comment. "I have a crush on Sally Stygg." More people started laughing. She was the loudest, rudest, ugliest girl in the school. "I believe in the Easter bunny." Now people were getting interested. They sat in anticipation, wondering what he would say next. "I wet the bed last night." After he said that, there was a burst of laughter, even from the Slytherins. Remus and Sirius were leaning on each other for support because they were laughing so hard.

"I ate a beetle by accident at dinner. I'm scared as hell of James, Sirius, and Remus. I wish Peter was my friend. I kind of like Lily Evans. I hate the term 'Mudblood'. I just use if so I can be cool-," at this point, Sirius snorted and whispered to Remus "Is he serious?", "I missed Kathy Richards when I tried to kiss her. I'm afraid of ladybugs. I-"

"THAT'S ENGOUGH!" Professor Edwards roared. "Class dismissed!" Everyone ran out of the room and up to their dormitories. Lucky for Snape, the potion had worn off by dinner, though he was embarrassed beyond belief when he came into the hall.

The six friends stayed up until 11:00 before going to bed. Lily and James were waiting for the change to occur. They stayed up until 3:00 in the common room, but eventually fell asleep anyway.
