Scene Six

Snape's classroom. Snape walks quickly up to the front of the classroom and turns

Snape: Here in my hands, I have the seats that you will be sitting in for the whole year. Each person will be assigned a lab partner. You will not be allowed to change. Do I make myself clear? Good.

Snape begins passing out the papers

Ron: Psst, Harry. I'm with Neville!

Harry: Because he knows you both don't know what you're doing. It's his way of instantly failing both of you. Let's see who I got…

Harry opens his paper and drops it

Ron: Well, who is it?

Harry: It's…it's…Draco.

Ron: Bloody hell! Well, don't kill him!

Snape: Now move to sit with your new partners!

Everybody grabs their belongings and move to their new seats. Harry drops his belongings on the floor next to Draco

Harry: Don't bother me, and I won't bother you.

Draco: Let me do everything, since I know what I'm doing more than you do.

Harry: What did you just say?

Draco: I said that I'm better than you in Potions.

Harry: So what?

Snape: Potter, shut up. Now, everybody, follow the instructions on the board and I'll check your work in twenty minutes. I'll be in my office.

Snape leaves the room

Harry: So what if you're better than me in Potions?

Draco: Well, come to think of it, I'm better than you in everything.

Harry: What did you just say?

Draco: Let me put it simple for you, imbecile… Anything you can do, I can do better!

Yeah….

Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better

Snape bursts into the room

Snape: What is going on here? Malfoy, explain!

Draco: Well, you see, Harry was having a fit because I said he was cutting the roots wrong, and I was trying to calm him down.

Snape: Ah, well then. Potter, you just lost your house 40 House Points. And you'll have detention tomorrow night.

Harry slowly sits back down

Snape: Now, back to work everybody!

Snape slams the door. End scene
