"How much sleep do you two need?" Marissa asked as she shook Ursedonah and Kristie awake. "Rhonda, you slept in yesterday too! And you never did your potions homework last night. I know you got away with being late yesterday, but he might not be so nice today."
Ursedonah and Kristie both laughed.
"Have you finished your potions yet Kristie?" Marissa inquired.
"Nope. I did three inches and quit. I didn't feel like writing." That wasn't the whole truth. Ursedonah told her that she shouldn't do it.
"Hey, why rush, we have potions first you know," Ursedonah said with a smile.
"You two are going to be in so much trouble!" Marissa stated as she hurried out of the room. Kristi and Ursedonah dressed at their own pace and came down to find an empty common room.
"Let's go," said Kristie. They slowly strolled to potions.
"Why hello Rhonda!" Snape said in a cheery voice as they entered the room.
"How many times do I have to tell you, Severus, I HATE cheery voices," Ursedonah sneered.
"Miss Rate, you're late!" boomed Snape.
"No she's not, Severus, and neither of us should be required to produce homework either. Now be a good boy and drink some Veritasserum." Ursedonah replied.
A few people in the class dared to turn around to see what was going on.
"You and I both know that you don't need a truth potion to get the truth out of people." Snape stated with a smirk.
"You know something else we both remember, Severus?" Ursedonah shot back in a cruel voice.
"What?" Snape questioned nervously.
"We both remember what happened the last time that you talked back to me. Do you need to be reminded of who I am, who my brother is and what was burnt on your left arm?" Ursedonah questioned pulling out her wand. By now, the whole class was intently peering at the situation over their shoulders.
"NO, URSEDONAH, NO!!" cried Snape who was cowering on the floor. Whispering broke out in the class.
"Severus, Severus. Look at you! Cowering on the floor. Besides that, do you realize what you just called me and where? You will be reminded, Severus, just wait."
Ursedonah and Kristie took their seats and the whole class shifted back into place.
"Now, today we will be continuing our potions from yesterday," Snape said returning to his usual tone.
