Snape stood there covered in ash. No one could tell what his facial expression was but everyone was guessing it was shock. His partner took a minute to realize what was going on.
"I can't believe you two!" Lily yelled at James and Sirius who were both gasping for air.
"Don't laugh!" screamed Faith. Several students went silent but some were still laughing.
Sarah took out her wand and pointed it at Severus. "Scourigfy!" she shouted. Some of the ash cleaned off but most of it remained. James and Siriu swere now crying, they were laughing so hard. Lily sighed and pulled out her wand. Faith did the same. The girls said at the same time "Scourigfy". The ash was gone to reveal a much taken aback Serverus.
"First bath he has had in weeks!" Sirius gasped bending over from laughing so hard. The rest of the class burst out laughing again. Even Remus was trying hard to stifle back laugh. . .he was failing. Suddenly the door flew open and Professor Putgis stormed in and the class fell silent.
"Bottle your potions. Now!" he barked.
Lily and Sarah quickly got to their cauldrons and filled up their vials with a sample. They wrote their names on it and quickly handed them over to Professor Putgis.
Faith snatched Severus's vial and filled it with her own potion. Quickly she scribbled his name on it and seethed, "That Sirius Black has something coming to him. I promise," as she handed it back to him. Professor Putgis quickly came over and took the vial Severus held in his hands.
"Looks like another O" he said to Severus, a small smile passing his lips.
Faith quickly filled her own vial and hastily wrote down her own name. Putgis picked it up and snarled at her
"Another A no doubt," he scolded.
Faith pursued her lips and picked up her bag as the bell rang.
"What is it with you two?" Lilyglared at James and Sirius who were busy wiping away tears.
"Oh come on! You mean to tell me you didn't find it the least bit funny?" Sirius smiled widely.
"No," Sarah said flatly and clenched her teeth together. James, Sirius, Peter, and Remus just chuckled and walked away.
"Just think once Quidditch start upJames willbe too busy to do anymore pranks." Faith huffed rummaging through her bag.
"Maybe, but his ego will grow twelve times the size it is now," Sarah muttered.
"When is the first Quidditch game any way?"inquired Lily.
"Three more weeks.Slytherin against Huffelpuff," Faith said taking an apple out of her bag and biting into it.
"Excited?" Lily asked Sarah.
"How could I not be?" she smiled.Sarah was in love with the game of Quidditch. She owned every book there was on it and was the Gryffindor Keeper. She was bloody good at it too.
"Who do you think is going to win?" Lily questioned
"Well Slytherin, I mean I don't want them to, but Huffelpuff hasn't won a game in 10 years," Faith stated taking another bite of her apple.
"I don't know, they have that new Seeker," Sarahput ingrabbing Faith's apple and taking a huge bite out of it
"How 'bout we bet on it?" Lily smiled slyly.
"Sure 5 knuts would you say?" Faith offered.
"I was thinking of something a little more interesting." Lilymurmured and then began to whisper something to Sarah. Sarah got a wide grin and nodded.
"Okay Faith if Slytherin wins we'll give you 5 galleons"
"And if Hufflepuff wins?" Faith asked cocking an eyebrow. Sarah leaned in and whispered to Faith.
"You're kidding." Faith almost yellledshocked. Lily shook her head.
"Is that even possible? Its like a sign of the apocalypse." Faith said her eyes growing wide.
The first Quidditch match was upon them fast. Faith fidgeted every time the Huffelfpuff Seeker would dive suddenly.
"What's your deal?" James asked nudging Faith in the back with his shoe.
"Nothing," Faith snapped as she watched the Quaffle go back and forth between the two teams. Lily and Sarah smiled confidently.
"Keanl passes to Meate...and Slytherin scores again,"
The green and silver blob of people cheered.
"Score's 50 to 200. Even if Hufflepuff catches the snitch it wont be enough points to win." Faith said smiling widely.
"Wait...Smithe passes to Delp...Huffelpuff scores!"
Faith smacked her forehead.
"Lanter goes for the Snitch and. . .barely misses a bludger . . .Lanter's got the snitch! Hufflepuff wins their first game in 10 years!"
Loud shouts of joy were heard from the large black and yellow blob that was the Huffelpuff house.
"Nooo!" Faith shouted jumpingto her feet.Lily and Sarah smiled as they took Faith by the elbow.
"Now I think Monday is the perfect day don't you agree, Sarah?" Lilyquestioned smiling.
"Yes, that way it's the buzz of the school for the next week." Sarah laughed
"You. . .You. . .guys aren't seriously going to make me are you?" Faith stammered.
"Of course we are. And make sure you get plenty of rest this weekend cause your going to have to wake up very early," Lilysnickered as they walked back to the castle.
