A/N: Herbology- Icky huh? Well this takes place just after the puppy incident… Enjoy!
Oh yes, I don't own any of the H.P characters and I don't own any events or anything else Harry Potterish. Heehee, I actually did cut and paste that.
So

"Wishes are sometimes better left unsaid"
Chapter
Eleven: Potion Fun
Kayla's P.O.V
"ARDEN MAKE IT STOP!"
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"
In truth though it was Arden's spell that made the vine grow so big, actually bigger then it should of. It was a simple growing spell- But by the way that things kept getting bigger and bigger- I knew it had to be Arden's power working its magic.
Sprout was practically having a nervous breakdown as she hurried us out of the greenhouse as the vine began to look rather reminiscent of a large green elephant.
Hurrying into the castle as Sprout screamed for some other teachers to help, I was just inside when a beagle came scurrying down the hallway.
"We're allowed to have puppies here?" I asked nodding toward the dog.
"Huh?" asked Arden before another five came running down the hall.
When the shouting started we looked to our right the way the dogs had come to see Cedric and Melody running down the hallway.
"CATCH THOSE DOGS!" Melody screamed.
Without even hesitating me and Arden ran after the dogs followed right by Neville Longbottom and some other kids from our class all of us running after the dogs.
It took nearly an hour of running about, diving, and a lot of scurrying to finally catch the dogs. By the time that was done all of us looked rather ruffled and our robes were torn in several places. Melody's hair was tangled all about her, Cedric's tie was askew and it seemed that Arden had scratched his glasses somewhere in the shuffle.
"Hopefully Hermione can fix them," he muttered taking them off as Melody put the dogs all in a sack.
"Probably will just curse them knowing her." I said shaking my head, "More often then not she's angry at you."
"Angry?" questioned Cedric though Melody merely shook her head.
"Long story." she said running her hands through her hair.
"What are you all doing in here?" asked Sprout coming in looking ruffled, before McGonagall came looking just the same.
The two teachers looked at each other before they both nodded and left the classroom.
"What was that about?" questioned Arden who looked as oblivious as I felt.
"No idea here," said Neville shaking his head.
"None over here either," said one the Hufflepuff girls.
"Mel, what the heck is up with the dogs?" questioned Arden turning to our blonde friend who was trying to keep the struggling bag from escaping her grasp.
"Well first, what were you guys doing out of class?" asked Melody.
"Spell gone wrong- Arden made a rather weird species of vine." supplied Neville as Arden blushed slightly.
"Melody turned a chair into a dozen or so puppies." said Cedric smiling.
"I told you I couldn't do it!"
"I don't mean it in a bad way Mel, it was bloody brilliant." said Cedric grinning as Melody blushed even more.
"Great first day and we're already getting into trouble!" I cried shaking my head.
We were safely able to go to our next class without having to see Dumbledore, since the teachers never really came back to get us. Sadly though that did mean that we were going to Potions, which was with the Slytherins.
At least halfway there we joined Hermione, Harry and Ron though Hermione was still giving Arden the silent treatment, even though he told her nearly a hundred times that he didn't read anything.
When we entered the classroom the first thing I noticed was that it was small, and slightly stuffy. Imagine a dungeon, which true to its nature sounded like there was a pipe somewhere dripping. It was cold, even colder then the hallway outside had been when we had come by earlier. Shivering I took a seat by Harry, just as a blonde came over.
It was pretty easy to guess who he was. Blonde, and looking slightly stuck up there was no one else that could have been more Draco Malfoyish. Though I must admit he was as handsome as he was in the movies- The rude mean air he had about him made that whole little fact fly out the window.
Harry was practically glaring at him as we shuffled about getting ready for class, though Draco seemed to be sneering even more giving Harry rather nasty looks, and muttering things to the two boys behind him.
"Who are they?" I asked pretending to be totally oblivious of the whole little nemesis part.
"Draco Malfloy and his cronies, they're Slytherins." said Harry, "And rather nasty people."
"We'll tell you sometime how bad." whispered Ron from behind me, before he went back to talking to Lavender- At least I think that's what her name is.
When Snape came in me and Arden had to keep from laughing. I knew he was fighting off the chuckles to just because of the little fact that his shoulders were heaving and he was turning a rather odd shade of red.
"Today class we seem to have some new students." said Snape as he neared the front of the classroom glaring at Arden. "It seems that some of our students want to have emotional outbursts during the start of our class. Ten points will be take off for that Mr.-"
"Kent sir. Clark Kent." said Arden before he began to laugh loudly.
By now I was quite sure I was going to get a bloody lip from biting down so hard. Mainly it was just because he looked so slimy- More so then even the actor in the move could pull off. I mean this guy actually looked as if he hadn't had a shower in the last century. He also had the longest hook nose in the world- It practically looked razor sharp at the end.
"Excuse me!" cried Snape glaring down at Arden, "Will that be yet another twenty points?"
"No sir, he meant no harm. That's his name truly. They messed it up when they moved him here." said Hermione before she turned to Arden giving him a glare.
Snape nodded though not before he took another thirty points from Gryffindor for Hermione's 'outburst'. Following that they told us to make a potion- Some weirdo one that had some name in Latin that I'm sure even Melody the language major 'well future one that is' couldn't even figure out.
While we were doing the potion though I don't know how it happened- Some comment that I didn't here was passed- Though in a moment Malfoy and Harry were practically at each others throats cussing like a sailor. I stopped my eyes wide the knife still raised that I was supposed to cut some bamboo roots with.
"What is your problem? Will you please go back to your seat Malfoy?" I hissed angrily at them.
"So this is the bloody yank. Tell me; is it true that your country is the fattest in the world? Or is it just you in particular?"
(A/N Kayla isn't fat! She's athletic, so she has muscle on her- But she is not fat.)
"Take that back Malfoy!" cried Harry angrily reaching for his wand.
"Don't worry about it Harry, I don't listen to prats. Besides if you get into a spat with him you might make his crush on you even worse," I said smiling sweetly at Malfoy, "I do believe also his two other boyfriends are to much for him to handle already. Look they're practically counting the seconds for him to come back over."
Indeed there was some truth in what I said, for Crabbe and Goyle (I had no clue which was which) were both looking over here from their table the dumb boy look on their faces as they watched Draco.
Malfoy gave a snort though he was to red in the face to even reply as he moved to his side of the room.
"Great Kayla, I would never have thought to call him gay." said Arden from behind me grinning.
"Oh he is impossible, no wonder you dislike him Harry," I said turning to my partner as Arden got a earful behind us by Hermione because he added to much powdery substance, "Not that I have anything against gay people- My best boy slash friend in seventh grade was gay-"
"Is alright Kayla, I never assumed that." said Harry smiling at me, "Though I will assure you that I am a 100 girl liker."
"Amen to that." muttered Arden from behind us.
"Ignore him, he loves to eavesdrop." I said smiling as Harry looked back at Arden again.
"I do- Uh oh…" cried Arden from behind us.
Twirling around, I gasped seeing Arden's cauldron. It was bubbling over, and steam seemed to be omitting from cracks that were now appearing in the side of his cauldron.
"Arden?" I cried throwing my arms up.
It was like the wand shop, but this time it was stronger. Gasping I watched as suddenly all of the cauldrons in the room started exploding- And the potion started to be sprayed on the now screaming students.
"Uh oh!" me and Arden cried as we were dragged out of the classroom by Hermione, Harry and Ron who looked just about as freaked as I felt. Even Snape was screaming as we left.
"This has been one great day," muttered Arden as we ran down the hall.
: ): ): )So, Potions class didn't go so well. Sorry if any characters are OOC, but I really don't think I have it in me too make Harry as shy around girls as he was in the book. That might take centuries for him to even flirt with poor Kayla! And Malfoy my be pretty bad later, forgive me for that. Even I wish the guy would do a three sixty and turn good. So Please Review :):):)
