Harry, Ron, and Hermione were at their table at the back of the potions
classroom. An extremely complicated potion was written on the board at the
front of the room. Harry refused to talk to either of them. He was
stirring his potion angrily.
"Harry, I'm really sorry," said Ron, "We weren't trying to hurt you."
Harry glared at him. "This is getting old," he said, "I wish the two of you would just stop this joke."
"Harry, Please, This isn't a joke. It's real," said Hermione, "and please stop stirring your potion so hard. It says gentle. This is a very important potion to get right."
Harry glared at her for a moment, but then slowed down him movements.
"Your potion should be a deep violet color by now," said Professor Snape from the front of the room. "Stop stirring and let it cool for five minutes. Then put it in a vial from the front of the class room. We will let it sit for a week. Next week we will see if it worked."
Everyone set there spoons down and then sat on the benches near their cauldrons.
After a couple moments of uncomfortable silence, Hermione said, "Harry, I'm really sorry. I promise not to say another word about Sirius."
Harry still did not look at her.
"Please don't be mad," said Ron.
"Fine," said Harry, "but only because if you talk much more Snape is likely to take more points away."
They bottled their potions. Then it was time for Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"Today I have a new spell for you," Professor Riddle said, "This spell is unblockable. It will turn your robes green. I will be able to do a counter curse at the end of class. If anyone hits you with this spell you will be out for the rest of the day. This will teach you to dodge spells such as the Killing Curse. If you get hit by the spell you are dead," she said. Then she turned to Harry, "Except for you," she said, "We don't know what happens to you, but you'll sit out anyway." The class started laughing, but were interrupted when she started again. "The spell is simple and is done like this." She pointed her wand at her desk and said, "Verdosa." Her desk turned a dull shade of green. "Now do it to your desks."
Everyone repeated after her. Most of the class managed to get it on their first try. A few of them had to try two or three times, but soon everyone's desk was green. With a quick wave of her wand Professor Riddle turned all of the desks back to their original color. "You may begin your duel now," she said as she sat down at her desk.
Spells started flying through the air. Immediately, Ron was hit by the verdosa spell from Malfoy, and had to sit by the wall of the class room. "Don't worry Ron," said Harry, "We'll get him for you." Hermione looked at Hermione who had just dodged a spell cast by Crabbe. He ran over to her dodging spells as he went. "When I say now send a verdosa spell at Malfoy." She agreed. He dueled with Goyle for a while until Harry successfully turned him green. Then made his way over to Neville and Luna and told them the same thing that he had told Hermione.
Harry then noticed Malfoy and Crabbe had ganged up on Hermione. "Now," he shouted. Four beams of green light hit Malfoy at the same time turning him a extremely bright shade of green. He growled in disgust.
Unfortunately, while the group was celebrating, the remaining members of Malfoy's group surprised them by turning each member green. Malfoy's team ended up winning. The Gryffindor's and Luna were disappointed about losing; however they were still thrilled with the success with Malfoy. Professor Riddle did the spell to return the robes to their normal black. However, Malfoy was still a bit green when he left.
