AN: Hello my followers, and welcome to the next installment of A Dark God. I hope you enjoy. If you have a question leave a review. I'll will answer any non plot related questions.

Harry leaned nonchalantly against the wall across from the potion's classroom door. He had reunited with the other slytherins after they had finished breakfast. Now they were all waiting for Snape to open the door and start class. One would think that slytherins would have their masks up at all times, but when there is one clear alpha there is really no point. It was refreshing for the other first years to let down their masks. Then the gryffindors showed up led by one of their prefects. Immediately masks slipped back into place and the relaxed feeling in the air was killed. One annoying redhead was moving towards them with his little posse of idiots.

"So you're hanging out with death eater scum now?" Said a red faced Ron Weasley. "It's bad enough you got sorted into slytherin instead of gryffindor where you belong, but you're pals with slimey snakes? I knew you were a dark wizard, how else could you have defeated You-Know-Who?" The redheaded idiot continued.

"That will be thirty points from gryffindor for insulting fellow students Mr. Weasley." Said Snape in and acidic tone. The other gryffindors paled, thirty points before the first class even started was a terrible way to start the year.

"That's not fair you greasy git! Their junior deaths eaters!" Ron yelled. The other gryffindor's eye widened at the show of blatant disrespect. Everyone just stared at the idiot as he realized what he had said. Snape's nostrils flared in anger.

"That will be another forty points from gryffindor and a week of detention for insulting a teacher." Snape said smirking evilly. He had not gotten to take this many points from gryffindor this early in years. Perhaps having a Potter in slytherin wouldn't be such a bad thing after all if it allowed him to take points for legitimate reasons, as they couldn't be disputed. Ron looked like he was going to say yet another stupid thing, but thought better of it at the glares he was getting from his classmates. "What are you waiting for? Get inside!" Snape snapped. Everyone filed into the potions classroom and took seats at the desks. The slytherins all paired up at the front, and forced the gryffindors to take the back row of desks. "Put your wands away." Snape snapped. "There will be no foolish wand waving in this class. Snape then gave a speech about brewing glory, and putting a stopper in death, but Harry knew it was rubbish. If Snape could really do all that he wouldn't be teaching potions, he would be making himself rich selling his services to the highest bidder. Harry tuned out the speech as he waited for Snape to actually start the lesson.

Suddenly Snape turned towards the weasel. "Weasley, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"

Ron's ears turned red in embarrassment as he said "I don't know." A bushy haired girl from gryffindor raised her hand but Snape ignored her.

"Alright then, how about this one? Where would I find a bezoar?" Snape said, a sneer forming on his face.

Again Ron said "I don't know." The girl's squirmed, not wanting to talk out of turn, but also wanting to answer the questions.

"What is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?" Snape asked.

"I don't know." Ron said, grinding his teeth.

"Thought you wouldn't open a book before coming to class? Five points from gryffindor for not coming to class prepared." Snape said, his sneer fully developed.

"That's not fair!" Ron yelled, forgetting just how well that worked out the last time.

"Another fifteen points for disrespect and talking out of turn." Snape said with an evil smirk. Ron looked like he was going to keep talking despite the point loses, but he was cut off as and irate brown haired girl stomped on his foot from and adjacent desk. Snape turned turned towards the slytherin half of the room from his position in front of Ron's desk.

"Mr. Potter, can you answer my questions?"

"Yes sir. Adding powdered root of asphodel to and infusion of wormwood is the first step in making the powerful Draught of Living Death. A bezoar forms in a goat's stomach, although i would assume you and Madam Pomfrey have some located in a cupboard nearby incase of emergencies. Monkshood and wolfsbane are the same plant, and are also known as aconite." Harry replied.

"And where did you learn this information?"

"The first chapter of our potions textbook. It mentioned the Draught of Living Death as well as where to find a bezoar. The final answer to the final question is in the herbology textbook." All the gryffindors were once again glaring at Ron. The redhead nuisance had lost them ninety points and they weren't even a fifth of the way through the class. It was the first day too! They would never catch up at this rate. Snape walked back to the front of the room and tapped on the blackboard attached to the wall with his wand. Instructions for the day's potion were on the board, along with instructions on how to prepare the ingredients.

"The instructions are on the board. You will be brewing a simple boil cure. You have one hour. Begin." Snape said. Harry nodded to Blaise, and she went over to cupboard and grabbed the required ingredients. Harry prepared the cauldron and the tools while she brought them over. They smiled at each other and began working on the potion. Awhile later there was an explosion in the back of the classroom. The slytherins turn around to see that Neville's cauldron had melted and a green goop was spreading across the floor. The potion had obviously gone horribly wrong, seeing as the potion was supposed to be an orange paste, not a green liquidy goop. Snape stormed over and vanished the potion and snapped at the boy. "Stupid boy! You aren't supposed to add the porcupine quills until you remove the cauldron from the fire!" He turned to Ron who was next to him. "Why didn't you stop him Weasley?! Thought it make you look good if he messed up?! Another twenty points from gryffindor for not helping a classmate." All the gryffindors paled. Yet another point loss. At this rate they would never get out of the negatives! "Finnigen take Thomas! Take Longbottom to the infirmary." Snape turned to the rest of class. "Finish your potions, then bottle a sample and leave it on my desk." After the hour was up Snape collected the samples and dismissed the class.

The slytherins left the room and headed towards their next class, which was charms with the hufflepuffs. The charms room was different from the potions one. Instead of being dimly lit and windowless, the charms room had high windows and was brightly lit. Instead of two person desks, there were ones meant for three people. They split into groups with Harry being the odd one out going to sit with the diminutive half goblin practically bounced out of his office and leapt onto a stack of books behind his desk. He almost fell off, which made many hufflepuffs laugh. He called role, then began to speak "Hello, welcome to charms class! For the first few days we will be covering basic theory. You will have a two foot essay due on the monday of the following week except for this one. Now, who can tell me the motions for the levitation charm?"

After their charms class they headed to lunch. They chatted about their classes and about their teachers. Harry was smiling, until he felt a slight brush against his mind. It was faint, little more than a slight tickling sensation, but Harry knew what it was. He immediately scowled and gently activated his outer occlumency shields. Most people slam their shields down when faced with an unexpected and unwanted intrusion, but that would be a stupid thing to do if you needed to hide the fact you had shields in the first place. Slamming occlumency shields down was a great tactic to force someone out of your mind, but it was about a subtle as a nuclear bomb. Harry moved some innocent memories to the forefront of his mind to give probe something to find, an empty mind is a sign of occlumency of the imperious curse, neither of which would a good. If Dumbledore was only going to a do a surface scan that should satisfy him. He wouldn't dare do a deeper intrusion, even his considerable political weight and public goodwill wouldn't save him from being metaphorically crucified for mind raping the Boy-Who-Lived. The probe withdrew and Harry let out a mental sigh, even with his considerable power fighting Dumbledore right now would be stupid. He hadn't even attended a defense class yet! Raw magic power would not win a fight against someone who knew one hundred forty years worth of magic.

History of magic, the class baffled the potter heir. The novelty of having a ghost as a teacher quickly wore off as the class went on. Harry wanted to slam his head into a wall. How the hell could someone make armed rebellions boring?! The ghost that taught the class, Binns was possibly the worst teacher he could imagine. A mindless, monotone, drone was the only way he spoke. Harry snarled, how could Dumbledore allow something like this?! At least the ghost was teaching something related to the subject. The only way this could get worse was if the teacher was some pompous arsehole who didn't know what he was talking about, and so only talked about have fabulous he was without being able to back it up. All of the others were asleep. Blaise looked really cute when she was asleep Harry noted. After two hours of wondering if it was possible to die of boredom, class was finally over and they well allowed to go to dinner.

Dinner was peaceful, minus the glares coming from one Ronald Weasley being sent their way. Harry turned to his fellow students "Do you guys want to go study in the library after we finish?"

"Sure why Nott." Draco said with a smirk. Everyone but Theo groaned, then in hit him.

"Malfoy, I am going to hurt you if you ever make that pun again." Nott said without any real heat in his voice.

"Sure sure. Let's just eat and get out of here. The less time I spend looking at that slob the better." Malfoy said indicating the weasel with horrendous table manners. Everyone grimaced at the thought of Ron's eating habits.

"Draco honey, I love you. But if you ever make me think of that disgusting excuse of a blood traitor while I'm eating, we will have a problem." Pansy said in a maliciously sweet voice.

"Suddenly I have lost my appetite. Let's just go." Daphne said sourly. Everyone nodded and they got up and left. Harry, Draco, and Pansy were looking over the transfiguration textbook, while Blaise and Daphne were playing wizard chess. Tracey was next to Theo, both reading the same book. Greg, Vince, and Millie were all reading some books they had brought from home. When it was getting close to curfew they packed up and started going back to their common room. On the way there, they were accosted by Ron and a few gryffindors.

"Hey you slimy snakes! I got a bone to pick with you!" Yelled the redhead. The slytherin first years stopped, then Harry smirked and nodded. He turned around, hands clasped behind his back, and schooled his face into a bored look.

"What do you want Weasley?"

"You cost me a hundred points today! Now I'm going to pay you back!" Ron snapped moving closer to Harry. The others tensed but Harry waved them off.

"And how are you going to do that?" Harry said mockingly while raising and eyebrow. The other slytherins were trying hard not to laugh.

"I'm going to hex you!" The now red faced boy said while pulling out his wand and aiming it a Harry.

"Really? Allow me to show you a problem with your 'plan'." Harry said making air quotes. Ron just looked confused. Ron was only a few steps away from Harry at this point. Harry suddenly dashed forwards and punched Ron in the face breaking his nose, and forcing him to drop his wand as he clutched his face in agony. Harry kneed him in the crotch which caused him to double over in pain. Then Harry threw an uppercut into his already damaged face sending him reeling back once more, and followed it up with a knee to the stomach. He did a half spin and slammed his elbow into Ron's neck, knocking the boy out cold. Harry looked at the other gryffindor students who were just standing there in shock.

"A word of warning you might want to pass on the weasley when he wakes up. Don't threaten me or my own unless you can back it up. I took him out in five hits without a wand, just imagine what I can do with one." Harry said darkly with an evil smile on his face. He turned around and said "Well? What are you waiting for? And invitation? Get that sorry excuse for a wizard to the hospital wing." The gryffindors hurried to comply lest they face his wrath. The slytherins made there way down the corridor and turned the corner before they all burst out laughing.

"Harry that was amazing!" Theo managed to get out through his laughter.

"Maybe he will think twice about messing with us next time." Pansy said while giggling.

"I personally hope he doesn't, then Harry will have a reason to beat him up again." Millie said with a dark smile.

"Oh I am sure he will try something. And when he does, it'll backfire horrendously." Harry said through his snickers. The slytherins made their way to their dorms and settled down for the night.
