Chapter 7 Annoying Potions Teachers
----------
Were is this place? It looks so familiar. Have I been here before?
A snake?
Nagini.
Were did that thought came from? How do I know the snakes name when I have never met her?
Her?
I do I know that it is a she.
"My lord"
"What?"
"Wake up Potter. You don't want to be late for breakfast."
"I am already awake thank you"
'What kind of dream was that? That was not the usual torture session. That man's voice sounded familiar. Great they left without me. Time to get up.'
Taking a quick shower and putting on his robes to get ready for his first day of class. Getting out of their room he noticed that the common room was empty
'They left without me. Not that I care.'
Walking trough the dungeons(not noticing that he knew the way up to the Great Hall) halting in front of the Great Hall deciding to enter or not. He entered.
All four tables were filled with students eating their breakfast, studying their time table and chatting to each other. Suddenly all the students looked at him when
he moved to the Slytheryn table. On his way he could here them whispering things like 'such a shame he is in Slytheryn. He is going to be killed in there. Will he be the next You-Know Who'
Sitting next to his roommates and filling his plate and started to eat in peace. The Slytheryn table aware of what happened last night gave him curious looks.
'What are they looking at? Word has spread that I can talk to snakes. Good, maybe they stay away from me now'
"Potter"
"What"
"Your time table"
"Oh, thanks" 'Now let's see what I have first. Ah Potions with together with the Gryffindors after that Charms and after lunch Double Transfiguration.
Time to go to potions' Making his way out of the Great Hall (still getting glances) and heading back to the dungeons. When he arrived he was the only so he made
up his mind and decided to sit in the back of the class in the shadows. After a few minutes of staring at the various things the first students arrived. Most of them were
Gryffindors and were sitting on one side of the class room while the Slytheryns were sitting as close as possible to Snape. No one in the class noticed that Harry was
sitting there.
"Silence" came a sneering voice from the front of the classroom. Its effect was marvellous. You could here a pin drop fall.
"I shall begin with a roll call for now. Everyone would best be quiet or I shall not hesitate in taking points off your house." Professor Snape drawled slowly, settling himself on his desk and taking out the parchment of their names, a bored look on his face.
"Mr. Potter, our new celebrity"
"Present" came a emotionless voice
Everyone looking were the voice came from. Still sitting in the dark was Harry Potter with sneer on his face. Whispers could be heard again.
"Mr. Potter, you will sit in the front so that I can see what my students are doing"
"I am sitting here very comfortable sir and I can assure you I will not make any mistakes"
"Then I can assure you this Mr. Potter: Make one mistake and you will have to find yourself a new Potions Teacher."
The rest of the class looking with horrified expressions on their face at the two silent speakers who were glaring daggers at each other. No one has ever talked this way to Snape and not being expelled. 'That went easy. I thought he would be more of a fight. Looks like I am going to be having a lot of 'fun' this year'
"Another Weasley. All of your brothers were a nuisance in my class. No doubt you will be the same" Snape said, looking at Ron with a smirk on his face, this causing Ron to turn an interesting shade of pink.
"Now that you are all present here" Looking at Harry for a moment and then continuing. "You are all here to learn the exact science of Potion-making. There will definitely be no foolish wand waving here and I don't really expect you to understand the beauty of simmering cauldron. The delicate power of liquids that can creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses. That is…If you aren't like the usual dunderheads I have to teach." Professor Snape spoke in a whisper but they heard every word, all of them hanging on his lecture.
Getting the desired reaction he continued"We will start this year with a simple sleeping potion. You will work in pairs of two and you three" Pointing at Hermoine, Lavender and Parvati "will be working together. Potter you will work alone." With a wave of his wand the ingredients appeared on the blackboard and the began working on their potion.
'Perfect. No one will bother me now and I am pretty much sure that at the end of the day the entire school knows it. They will learn to fear me. Now let's make that potion and prove that I am well capable off making my own potion.'
The rest of the class went in silence. Some from time to time stealing glances at him and Snape looking at Harry with a smirk on his face and hoping that he would fail. So when the bell rang the Gryffindors almost ran out of the classroom and forgetting to give a sample to Snape. When Harry brought his sample to Snape he looked at his Professor with a smirk on his face and walked out of the classroom with his robes billowing behind him dramatically.
Walking through the corridors to his Transfiguration classroom. (Again not noticing that he knew the way) People were giving him strange looks on his way there. Some he heard talking about that he wasn't walking with his room mates. 'It is not my fault that they are afraid of me.' Arriving at his classroom he was again the first one to arrive. Sitting in the back of the classroom, as far as possible in the shadows. No sooner then that the teacher came in.
"Welcome Mr. Potter. Were are your classmates?"
"I don't know Professor. I was the first one to leave after potions. And I believe they got lost."
"Then we just have to wait. You may of course already start reading the first chapter of your book."
'Who does she thinks she is. I already know all of my books. Including this one' "Professor? May I already start on start on transfiguration since I have already memorized the entire book?" using the Smiling-sweetly-and-puppy's-eyes technique.
"I don't see a problem why you can't. Here is match. Try to change it into a needle"
'Now let's see if I can do this' While Harry was very busy trying to change his match into a needle he did not notice that the rest of his house arrived. And not to forget the fact that they just loose 15 points for being this late. They too were being set to work and given a match.
"Excellent work Mr. Potter. This is a perfect Transfiguration. 10 points to Slytheryn"The rest of his class now noticing that he was there to shot him hateful glances.
"Class is almost finished. Your homework is to practice this spell. Next time I want everyone to be able to Transfigurate their match into a needle. Class is dismissed"
Harry feeling hungry decided he would eat lunch with the rest of the school.
'He got himself almost expelled in potions. Snape, his own Head of House did that.'
'This is starting to get irritating. Another one like that and i will send Celiel to kill them.' Getting angrier with all that he decided that it was time to let them know not to mess with him.'

1,300 words. I believe that is my new record.
So here is a question: Can anyone make a new name from Harry James Potter (just like Voldemort did with his name)
I just can't seem to think of a good name.
