Chapter Five
"Kiyoshi!" Ron called from the Giffendor table. 'Whew safe.' Kiyoshi thought happily walking to the Gryffindor table tanking the perfect timing. "Hey guys." Kiyoshi greeted her friends. "What's this talk about you being a legend?" Harry asked. "Well remember me telling you about how had lived here for four years?" Kiyoshi asked. At her friend's nods she continued. "Well every once in a wile someone would see me, but that did not happen often and I talked to one girl once I gave my name, and I think from that moment on people tried hard or harder to try and find me over the years I wasn't attending the classes. They all wanted to know if there really was some one by the name Kiyoshi Ships or did some one make it up. But now they know that I'm real." Kiyoshi explained. "That makes sense." Ron said. "But I got to admit that might have made a good story." Hermione said. And at the confused looks of Harry, Ron and Kiyoshi were giving her she had to elaborate. "What I think that it would be a very interesting story to grow up hearing. That a small dark haired girl waking the halls of Hogwarts." Hermione said. "Hmm maybe, but that doesn't matter now." Kiyoshi said. "Yeah but people are going to act like it a big deal anyways." Harry said. "So I don't care as long as it doesn't get out of hand." Kiyoshi said. "Are you going to eat here or at your own table?" Ron asked. "I think I'll eat her for to day." Kiyoshi said sitting down at the table in front of her. As soon Kiyoshi sat down she could fell eyes on her, and she know who's they were. She was only vaguely aware of Severus's rather dislike for all Gryffindores, she was disaonted that Severus could dislike an inter house for what seemed to her was no good reason. She tried to ignore the eyes but she found it harder to deal with as the minuets passed by. "Who is he, and why is he staring at you?" Harry asked. With out even looking Kiyoshi answered. "He is Professor Snape and he doesn't like Gryffindores very much. Why? I don't know, but I don't think he likes my chose in friends." Kiyoshi sad sadly. "But please don't be angry at him I don't think it's entirely his fault." Kiyoshi added not looking at any of them. The meal was an uncufftrelbel one that dragged at for to long.
Incidentally the first class for the was posions. "Come on guys it's this way, hurry you don't want to be late." Kiyoshi said leading not only here friends but the inter first year class. "How does she know the way?" a Hufflepuff girl asked. "My big brother said that she has lived her for years." Answered a Hufflepuff boy. "That imposable!" A Gryffindor exclaimed. "No it's not." Kiyoshi said to the large grope behind her as she stopped by the door to the dungeon. And immediately the door was opened by Professor Snape, he moved aside to allow them in. when they were all seated Severus took his place at the front of the class. "You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion making." He said to the class after tacking role call. He looked around the class to see how many were still paying attention. Which they al were, "As there is little foolish wand- waving here, many of you will hardy believe this to be magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses … I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach.'' Silence followed this little speech. "Ships!" "What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" "Asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful its know as the Draught of Living Dead sir." Kiyoshi answered. "That's correct Miss Ships, Two points to Hufflepuff." Snape said. Both the Gryffindores and the Hufflepuff were in shock, Snape had just awarded a house that wasn't his own. "I sum what impressed, but I doubt that any of you could tell me were to find a bezoar." Snape said to the class. Two hands rose in the air, they belonged to Hermione and Kiyoshi. "Yes Miss .Granger?" "You can find a bezoar in the stomach of a goat." Hermione said. "That's correct Miss Granger. Two points to Gryffindor." Snape said. The students were not believing what they were hearing not only had Snape given points to a house that not his, but also to a Gryffindor! "It seems that only two students have even bothered two read the book, truly pitiful." Snape said to the class. Snape then put every one into pairs were they were to make a simple potion that would cure boils. Kiyoshi was pared with a round- faced boy named Neville Longbottom who had no clue about potions. "Ok you can be my assistant; you just give me what I ask for. Ok?" Kiyoshi asked. "OK." Neville agreed. Neville wasn't the greatest assistant in the world, but he was trying real hard to get it right. "Ok Neville first we take the caldron off the fire, then we add the quills." Kiyoshi expanded to Neville who was going to put in porcupine quills in will the caldron was still on the fire. "Oh I'm sorry Kiyoshi." Neville said. "Hey no problem there was any harm done." Kiyoshi said. Kiyoshi had Neville was working remarkable fast and was done with plenty of time to spear. "How can you be done so fast, when some of us are just now stewing are horned slugs?" A boy named Seamus asked in a loud voice that got the attention of every one in the class. "It would be impossible for any first to …" Snape said coming to Kiyoshi's and Neville's table but stopped when he looked at there caldron seeing that it was done and it was perfect. "What can we do now Professor?" Kiyoshi asked. "You two my start on your homework. And another ten points to both your house." Snape said before going to inspect the other's potions. Kiyoshi and Neville were hard at work doing the essay that Snape had assigned. Five minutes later Neville had a question. "What does your name mean?" He asked. "My name means pure." Kiyoshi said. Neville occasionally asked questions about the assigned homework and Kiyoshi gladly helped. Kiyoshi and Neville had finished there essays just in to turn them into Snape before the bell rang. When they were out side of the dungeons they were bombarded with questions and comments from there classmates. "That was incredible!" Hermione said to them. "It unbelievable that Snape would actually willing give points to anther house let alone two!" Said a Hufflepuff boy. "It's all amazing, but how did you two do it so fast?" Asked a Gryffindor boy named Dean. "I guess I'm just talented in positions." Kiyoshi said not wanting to be bothered about spending fore years in the castle. "And I got a lot of help from her." Neville said quietly. "What do you guys have next?" Kiyoshi asked. "We have DADA class." Hermione said. Me to, come i'll so you the way!" Kiyoshi said leading the way.
