Chapter 5
I rode the stairs till they stopped then I knocked on the door to Dumbledore's office.
"Come in." I heard him yell, then I pushed the door open and walked into the office. Dumbledore was sitting at his desk stroking a beautiful phoenix.
"Ah, Sydney. Just the person I wanted to see I was wondering if you would be finishing the year with us."
"Yes sir, if you will have me."
"Well, but of course. I have taken it upon myself to get your school supplies, I had a feeling you would be staying."
"Thank you, sir."
"You can stay in Slytherin or if you would like or we can get you sorted."
Even though she was curious as to what house she would be put in she decided to stay in Slytherin.
"I'll stay in Slytherin, sir.
"Here is your time table. Enjoy your stay."
"Thank you, sir."
I walked out of his office and descended the stairs. I walked back to my room and stared in wonder at the large pile of things laying on my bed. I looked down at my time table and saw that I had double potions.
I noticed my things were in piles of what class I needed them for. I slipped on my new Hogwarts robes and put my potions things in my bag.
I hurried down the stairs and out of the Slytherin common room and down the hall to the potions classroom. Everyone stopped talking as soon as I came in and I looked to see Snape glaring at me.
"Sorry sir." I said breathlessly.
"Take a seat Miss. Longbottom. Don't be late again or I'll have you hung by your ankles in the dungeons."
"Yes sir."
I looked around for an empty seat and found one by the sexy Draco. I smiled at him sweetly and sat down next to him. Snape started to lecture, but I couldn't listen, I was to busy teasing Draco.
I slid my hand under the table and lightly grazed Draco's knee. I stared straight ahead, catching Draco's look of surprise out of the corner of my eye. I laid my hand on his knee and slowly started upward. I heard his sharp in take of breath as my fingers brushed the inside of his thigh.
"Sydney Longbottom-Harry Potter." Snape said stopping my journey.
"What?"
"Your potions partner Miss. Longbottom."
I looked around the room and noticed that everyone had moved. I leaned down while picking up my stuff and whispered in Draco's ear. "Later." I grabbed my bag and sat down next to Harry.
"Hi." I said giving him a sweet smile.
"What was that about?" He asked gesturing to where I had been sitting.
There he goes with all those questions again. I rolled my eyes and ignored his question. He was so nosy! I began to stir the ingredients into the steaming cauldron in front of me, paying careful attention to what was going on around me.
The dog face girl's cauldron was billowing with black smoke. Neville's cauldron had blown up and I watched as Snape stalked over and banished the scorched cauldron.
"Mr. Longbottom, can you do anything right?" Neville said nothing. "That's what I thought, your to stupid!" Neville shrank down in his seat and I couldn't help what came out of my mouth.
"STOP IT!" I yelled.
Snape whirled around sending me a death glare. Everything got quiet.
"Detention Miss. Longbottom. Tonight."
With that Snape stalked to the front of the room with a dramatic swish of his robes.
