Ch 5

Harry woke up the next morning with still a dull throbbing on his head, he had grown immune to the pain. He got dressed and went down to the Great Hall to see which classes he had today. He sat at the table by Ron and Hermione just as McGonagall was coming around with the schedules.

"Mornin' mate! Can't believe that we have classes again, I sure hope they don't pile on the homework like last year" said Ron

"Ron, if you would have done your work when it was assigned last year you wouldn't have had that problem" added Hermione reading her schedule.

Harry looked down at his schedule and frowned, double potions with the first thing in the morning. Ron was looking at Harry's schedule and comparing all of their classes.

"Well at least we'll have Care Of Magical Creatures and Defense Against Dark Arts."

"And I'll also have Potions and Herbology with you" added Hermione.

Harry looked up at the staff table and noticed the Defense Against Dark Arts teacher, she wasn't at the sorting ceremony last night. She had dark curly hair and wore long dark robes.

"Who is the new professor up there?" asked Harry

"Her name is Professor Bugiardo" said Ginny, "the ministry once again gave us a teacher, though I don't think she will be as bad as Umbridge, she seems like a nice person."

Everyone ate their breakfast, Harry trying to eat the slowest, he was dreading Potions, he did study a lot for it, but he just knew that Snape would make it hell.

"Are you ready Harry" asked Hermione.

"As ready as I'll ever be for potions" said Harry getting up.

They got to Potions early and took a seat at the same table. Harry looked around and noticed that a few Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs made it in, and a lot of Slytherins, yet only Hermione and himself made up the Gryffindors.

When class started everyone took their seats and Snape entered the room.

"This class is very quick-paced and difficult, I don't believe all will make it through the term. We will start today with a very simple healing potion, the directions are on the board, now everyone begin."

Immediately everyone got to work, Hermione finished the potion with ease and hers was a perfect dark blue color. Harry worked really hard on his and finished as class was ending, his was a little of a lighter blue but still looked okay to turn into Snape. He couldn't believe he worked three hours on a single potion. He was really exhausted and was not looking forward to seeing Snape that night.

@----

The rest of the day went by very quickly for Harry, he sat in the common room dreading going to Snapes. He waited until he would make it down there just in time to leave the common room.

Harry walked down into the dungeons and when he got to Snapes office knocked on the door.

"Come in" growled Snapes voice.

Harry entered his office bringing back memories last year of being in here for occlumency.

"Mr. Potter, I assume you practiced clearing you mind over the summer."

Harry didn't know what to say, the truth was he hadn't thought of occlumency at all over the summer.

"Er, a little."

"Tonight we won't need to do any Potions work, though your healing potion today was disgraceful, I don't see why you get all the special treatment and exceptions. Don't expect that from me."

Harry had the urge to talk back but held it in, remembering Dumbledore wanting them to get along.

"Tonight I will just enter your thoughts like last year, to see how much of a defense you have built up since last year."

Snape stood up and took out his wand, Harry's heart was pounding he had no idea how he was going to block out Snape, but he didn't have much time to think because before he knew it, Snape entered his mind.

He was in Dumbledore's office, all of his items shattered from throwing them.

He was in detention with Umbridge his hand bleeding.

He was in the forest with Grawp, Hermione, and Hagrid.

He was at Grimmald Place with Sirius.

He was in the Department Of Mysteries.

Sirius was falling through the veil.

At this Harry couldn't take it anymore. Snape had stopped and Harry had found himself on the ground, shaking. He quickly got up and wiped his face, hoping Snape didn't notice the tears he had.

"You don't have much of a defense, we will have a lot of work to do. You need to clear your mind before you go to sleep, it's the only way you can get better at this. You can leave now."

Harry left, he was still panting, occlumency was so draining, but he really wanted to stop the dreams. He went to bed but remembered to clear his thoughts, or at least try to.
