Chapter 4: Potions Disaster
The potions classroom was full with people from Gryffindor and Slytherin were packed into the dungeon, they had been given the task of preparing a potion that would ward off vampires. Harry was paired off with Ron, Mark with Hermione and Kevin with Neville, "I've got a secret way of making this go faster," Mark told Hermione.
"What are you talking about?" Hermione asked, suspiciously.
"I mean adding a whole bottle of dragon blood," Mark said.
"Mark," said Kevin from his cauldron, "You don't want to do that."
"And why not?" asked Mark.
"You see," said Kevin, "I know this guy, who knew this guy, whose cousin did that and he wound up in sick bay, unable to move with pains all over his body."
"And the book says if you do add dragon blood, you should add only half a teaspoon," said Hermione.
"Screw that," said Mark and poured a whole bottle of dragon blood into the cauldron and…KABOOM.
2 hours later
"What's his condition, Madame Pomfrey?" asked Hermione.
"He's unable to move and has pains all over his body," Madame Pomfrey replied.
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Kevin entered the Hospital Wing to find Mark lying in a bed, "Hey, Mark," Kevin said.
"Hey," said Mark.
"How are you?" asked Harry.
"I'm stuck in bed, unable to move and my whole body hurts, how would you feel?" Mark asked, annoyed.
"I told you not to add the dragon blood," Kevin said.
"But it was funny," said Ron.
"SHUT UP," said Mark, "It was a brilliant plan."
"And the reason you're unable to move with pains all over your body," said Kevin.
"Touché," said Mark.
