With you by my side
"Harry are you ready?" Lily asked."Will this take long?" Harry whined.
"Probably" Lily answered honestly.
"Do we have to go?" Harry asked.
"Your health is important" Lily said.
Harry was curious most of all, to know what it was so important about the black smoke Poppy had noticed on the diagnostic spell, which she had given him almost a year ago.
Not being able to find out what it was, he had been called into St. Mungos for more tests.
Harry remembered exactly what Madame Pompfrey had said that day.
Flashback
"Is there something wrong?" Lily asked the mediwitch concerned.
Instead of answering her, Madame Pompfrey did the diagnostic spell one more time. This time, the black smoke disappeared almost as soon as it appeared.
"What does the black smoke mean?" Lily asked.
"The green means there had been injuries that had already healed throughout his life, which is perfectly normal. We've all had. The blue shows us his magic, the brighter the more powerful the witch or wizard is. Harry's is perfectly normal for his age. The red means torture. It can mean physically or mentally, but when it's this red means it hasn't healed. That alone makes me concern" at this point the healer paused for a second "I've never seen black smoke before. I have no idea of what it means, but I don't think it means anything good. I'm going to do more tests and get them to St. Mungos' research department for help" seeing the mother's scared expression she added " Don't worry Lily, I'm sure it is nothing life threatening"
End of Flashback
And now he was being rushed into the fireplace to floo to St. Mungo, his mother with him.
Danielle was staying at the Weasleys today, since she had refused to stay with Holly for the day.
Flashback
"I will call your aunt Laura to see if you can stay with them today" Lily said, grabbing some floo powder.
"No!" Danielle said frowning.
"No?" Lily asked.
"May I stay with Ginny instead?" Danielle pleaded.
"Are you sure?" Lily asked sadly.
"Yes" Danielle nodded.
"You should talk with Holly" Lily adviced.
"No" Danielle answered.
"I will call Molly" Lily sighed, and Danielle smiled.
End of Flashback
"We have an appointment" Lily told the woman in the reception.
"Name?" the woman asked.
"Harry James Potter" Lily answered.
"Research team?" the woman asked.
"Yes" Lily answered.
"4th floor" the woman stated, going back to whatever she had been doing before Lily had interrupted her.
"Come on Harry" Lily led the way to the elevator.
The elevator was packed with wizards; Lily and Harry had to squeeze in.
They apparently were on the ground floor. A voice announced what you would find in each floor everytime they reached a new one.
"First floor: Creature-Induced Injuries" the voice announced.
A couple of wizards got out, making more room for everyone else.
"Second floor: Magical Bugs" the voice announced.
Five wizards got out on this floor. The elevator was now comfortable to be in.
"Third floor: Potion and Plant poisoning" the voice announced.
A couple of witches got out, but four got in.
"Fourth floor: Spell damage" the voice announced.
"This is our floor" Lily gently pushed Harry outside once the doors of the elevator opened.
"The voice didn't say research team" Harry stated.
"It would be very long if the voice announced everything there is in each floor" Lily explained.
"How many floors are there?" Harry asked.
"Ten" Lily answered, "But only five allow non-staff members"
"Do you use to work here?" Harry asked.
"You know I was training to be a healer" Lily answered narrowing her eyes.
"I forgot" Harry said quickly.
"Why didn't you finish your training?" Harry asked.
"Because I chose to raise you instead" Lily hugged him, "You already knew that"
"Of course" Harry said.
"Are you planning on coming back?" Harry asked.
"Maybe next year when Danielle enters Hogwarts" Lily said with a smile.
Harry liked this moments, were he could get to know his mother better. He got to know her mother's dreams, what she liked.
"Here it is" Lily announced.
They reached a large bronze door with the words –Reasearch team- written on it; Lily knoched a couple of times.
A small plump witch wearing only white opened the door.
"Harry Potter?" asked the witch looking straight at Harry. Harry nodded.
The witch opened the door to let them through. Inside there were several witches and wizards all wearing white, just like the witch that had greeted them, going from one place to another as if they were in a hurry, no one paid any attention to him or his mother.
"Follow me" the witch told them, walking quickly, avoiding with ease everyone else. Not something Lily or Harry could say, they were having trouble not being on anyone's way.
"If you could sit down and roll your sleeves up, Mr. Potter" the witch asked Harry.
Harry saw a small stool were he sat down and did just what he was told to do.
The witch got a large needle and came towards Harry.
"What is that for?" Harry asked a little scared.
"We are going to get a sample of your blood" the witch answered.
"I thought you already had one" Harry stated.
"It is a year old, we need a new one" The witch answered, and put the needle in his arm, taking a sample of his blood. It all took less than a minute.
"Now, go to Healer Wayne" the witch pointed to a man sitting on the floor with his eyes closed. He looked as if he was meditating.
"Come on Harry" Lily urged, pushing him towards the man.
"Healer Wayne?" Lily asked the man once they reached him.
The man bolted as if he was being attacked.
"You shouldn't disturb someone like that when he is meditating" The man narrowed his eyes angrily at them.
"We were told to come to you" Lily said angrily.
"
Who are you?" The man asked harshly.
"This is Harry Potter" Lily put a hand on Harry's shoulder.
The man stood up and grabbed Harry gently by his other shoulder, making him stand in front of him.
"This isn't going to hurt" The man told him gently and took his wand out pointing it at him.
"Wait a minute" Lily protested.
"I won't hurt him" The Healer told Lily.
"You are pointing a wand at my son" Lily said angrily standing between the healer and her son.
"I am a trained mind healer, I am going to try and see if I can find out what happened to your son with Legimency" The Healor explained.
"Will that work?" Lily calmed down.
Harry now was scared. he didn't want the Healer to go into his mind.
"We hope it will" the Healer told Lily. Lily started walking aside, and the Healer pointed his wand at Harry again.
"Wait" Harry said, "What is Legimency?" he asked.
"It is a way for me to gain access into your mind, hopefully it will help me find the answers we are looking for" The Healer explained to him as if he was a 10 year old, which annoyed him until he remembered he had been a 10 year old only 2 years ago, technically.
"I don't think so" Harry closed his eyes.
"Don't worry, I wont look into your secrets" the Healer chuckled, thinking he was with a stubborn child.
"How do I know you won't?" Harry asked not opening his eyes.
"You will feel everything I do, and see everything I see, so you would know if I don't keep my word" The Healer said.
"Still…" Harry started protesting.
"Harry, this is important, open your eyes" Lily ordered.
"No" Harry stated with no emotion.
Legimency.
Harry felt someone trying to get into his mind, which made him open his eyes in shock.
He saw how the healer went quickly over his memories, without looking into any of them.
Abruptly he felt the healer stop, Harry looked carefully at what had made the healer stop, and he could see it too.
It was as if it was a part of a room that hadn't been cleaned in years, dark looking, and with spider webs making it almost impossible for them to get near. At least there were no spiders in sight.
The healer left his mind.
"What was that?" Harry asked.
"Something I've never seen before" the healer answered.
"You've never seen spider webs?" Harry asked.
"Those weren't imaginary spider webs, those were real ones, magical ones" the Healer said.
"What?" Harry asked.
"We need to work on getting rid of them so we can see what they are hiding" The Healer said with a smile, obviously trying not to scare Harry, "It will take time"
"How much time?" Harry asked not really wanting to be there for the rest of the day.
"Lets hope for only a couple of months" The Healer smiled comfortably.
"What?" Harry shrieked, "Months?"
"Maybe a little more, but I will do everything for it to only take a couple of months" The Healer said.
"Is it bad?" Lily asked scared.
"
I don't know" The Healer told Lily, "I couldn't see anything but those webs"
"How are you going to get rid of them?" Lily asked.
"Like I said, they are either real ones, or magical ones. I'm going to try the muggle way first, dusting" The Healer smiled, taking it as a joke until he saw Lily's narrowed eyes. The healer cleared his throat and continued in a more serious manner, "If they are magical, I'm going to fight them with magic. If that is the way, then it will probably exhaust Harry"
"Why would it exhaust Harry?" Lily asked.
"It is Harry's mind, I would have to use his magic to get rid of them" The Healer explained.
"He starts school in a couple of days" Lily said concerned.
"I will talk to Dumbledore to schedule appointments, maybe Harry can come here a couple of times a month, or I can go there. Either way it has to be at least a couple of times a month, maybe more." The Healer said.
"I don't think it would be a problem" Lily said, smiling at Harry to comfort him.
"Spider webs?" Harry asked annoyed.
It made the Healer chuckle.
"Who should we go to next?" Lily asked the Healer.
"That is enough for today, we have to see if this works first" The Healer said, sitting down again into the position they had found him.
"Thank you Mr. Wayne" Lily said, but the made no reaction of hearing her.
"Lets go Harry, we have to pick Danielle from the Weasley's before going home" Lily said.
Harry still was skeptical about everything the man had said. Maybe he would be able to get rid of those weird things on his mind, without needing the help of the Healer.
"Mom" Harry tried to, carefully and gently, wake Lily up. Not wanting James to hear him.
Sleeply and slowly, Lily opened her eyes and saw her son kneeling beside her.
"Is there something wrong?" Lily jolted from bed.
"No" Harry tried to calm her down, looking over to where James was, hoping he didn't wake up, "I was just wondering…"
Lily saw her son fidgeting, and was starting to get worried.
"Is there any way we could get to platform 9 ¾, without James and Danielle or Sirius?" Harry rushed.
"No" Lily chuckled.
"You want to get rid of us?" James asked in an offended voice, looking over his wife.
"It's not that" Harry felt guilty.
"We love you so much" James cried.
"I love you too" Harry rushed towards James and hugged him.
"But if you don't want us there…" James said between sobs.
"Of course I do, I'm sorry" Harry said sincerely.
"Perfect. I'll call Sirius" James got out of bed and out of the room, presumably to go get Sirius.
"You do know you were guilted into it, right?" Lily chuckled.
Harry groaned.
"Go get ready" Lily smiled, "I'll make breakfast, your favorite"
Harry smiled weakly and went towards his room.
"Trying to get rid of us?" Danielle smirked when he passed her door.
"I tried" Harry shrugged.
"I'll make you regret it" Danielle threatened jokingly.
Harry groaned and watched his sister closed her door.
Harry had everything ready. He had been hoping to get out of the house before breakfast, which was why he had put everything inside his trunk yesterday night, and slept on his clothes.
Not having anything else to do Harry sat on his bed.
"I could try and get started into what Healer Wayne said" Harry shrugged to himself.
He closed his eyes and took on Healer Wayne's meditation position.
It took him time to relax, he didn't know how much, but it hadn't been easy.
He saw himself on his mind, and started exploring.
His mind for some reason was dark, he felt as if he were in Hogwart's dungeons.
Where was the spider web? He didn't remember where he had seen it.
Someone was sobbing. He could hear someone crying, a boy he thought.
The noise told him, the boy was far from where he was standing, but he could tell it came from a child.
"Harry!" a voice woke him up abruptly.
Harry fell off his bed.
"Breakfast is ready!" Lily called.
Harry looked at his bedside clock, a muggle one, an hour had pass.
"You are getting so big" Lily's eyes were getting moist.
'You are embarrassing him Lily" James put a hand on her shoulder and then came closer to Harry.
"My baby boy is starting his second year!" James cried loudly, getting a couple of families to turn their way.
Harry groaned and waited for the usual dramatic show to start. Instead of it James started to laugh.
Harry squinted his eyes open and saw James standing in front of him, laughing freely.
"I won't do anything this year" James promised and hugged Harry tightly.
Harry smiled and hugged James back.
"Why?" Danielle asked confused.
"What is it, honey?" Lily asked Danielle.
"I miss Sirius" Danielle pouted.
Lily started laughing at Danielle's disappointed expression.
"What is so funny?" James asked, letting go of Harry.
"Sirius is funnier" Danielle kept pouting.
"Than whom?" James asked narrowing his eyes.
"Than you" Danielle accused.
"You don't mean it" James looked offended.
"I wish Sirius were here" Danielle stated.
"I wish he were here to. I think he is funnier, as well" James said squinting his eyes at Danielle.
"Good, you accept it" Danielle patted James' back.
"I meant funnier than you" James narrowed his eyes at her.
Danielle just smirked.
"I like this better" Harry said with a smile.
"This isn't fun for me" Danielle sing-song.
"I am just glad Sirius couldn't make it this time" Harry said relieved.
"Really?" Danielle had a mischief look.
"You are going to tell him I said that aren't you?" Harry sighed.
"Of course! What kind of niece would I be if I didn't?" Danielle smirked.
"I am not going to miss you" Harry stated.
"Yes you are" Danielle said.
"No I am not" Harry said.
"Yes you are" Danielle said.
"No I am not" Harry said.
"Yes you are" Danielle said.
"No I am not" Harry said.
"You are right" Danielle said.
"No I am not" Harry said. Danielle smirked.
"You should get in the train" Lily hugged Harry good-bye.
"She wants you out of the house already" Danielle said, getting a gentle slap on her head from her mother.
"Hug your brother good-bye" Lily stated.
Danielle walked towards Harry and hugged him tightly. "Write to me"
"I will" Harry promised.
"Harry" Ron nodded.
"Ron" Harry nodded with a smile.
He was walking through the narrow halls in the train, trying to find Draco or Theo, when he passed Ron's compartment, where he was sitting with his younger sister, Ginny and her friend Luna.
Both Ginny and Luna waved to him and went back to talking to each other.
"Potter!" Draco called from afar.
Harry walked towards him and into the compartment he had seen Draco get into.
Inside, Daphne, Pansy, Theo, Blaise and Draco were already sitting in complete silence.
"Hi" Harry greeted. Only Theo and Draco nodded.
"Is this going to be like this for the whole time?" Harry asked.
"The whole year?" Daphne asked.
"Yes" Blaise answered.
"I was just talking about the ride to Hogwarts" Harry mumbled.
"Yes" Blaise said again.
"Don't mumble" Pansy chastised.
"They will get over it" Draco shrugged.
"Really?" Harry asked in disbelief.
"No" Draco answered.
"Thank you for your honesty" Harry said in a sarcastic manner.
"That is what friends are for" Draco answered.
"Maybe I should go find Hermione" Harry said.
"She isn't talking to you either" Draco said.
Harry just slumped further into his seat.
"Welcome to a new year in Hogwarts" Dumbledore greeted in his usual cheerful tone.
The Sorting had already gone through.
Luna had been sorted into Ravenclaw and Ginny into Gryffindor.
"I hope he shuts up soon, I am hungry" a new first year Slytherin whined, earning glares from everyone around him.
"Just a few words before we can enjoy the awesome food the Hogwart's house elves prepared for us" Dumbledore said.
"Thank you Headmaster" Lockhart interrupted.
"This should be interesting" Pansy said.
"I hope he shuts up, I am hungry" Draco glared.
"How come no one glared at him?" The boy said pointing at Draco, earning a glare from everyone around him again.
Dumbledore sat down amused and let the new DADA professor talk.
"Thank you headmaster for giving me a chance to greet my new students" He smiled widely towards everyone present.
"I know you are all star-strucked at seeing me this close, a celebrity as a professor. How many kids can say that?" Lockhart chuckled.
"Shoot me now" Draco said.
"Gladly" Blaise said, sending a stinging hex towards him.
Draco yelped loudly earning a glare from Professor Snape.
"Exactly" Lockhart said towards the Slytherin table, thinking it had been an over enthusiastic reaction to him, "Please, treat me as you would treat any other professor, I am here to help you"
Everyone clapped loudly, except for the majority of the Slytherins.
"He is a fraud" Draco stated.
"Shut up Drake" Pansy said with a glare, and started to clap loudly.
"I thought she was smarter than that" Daphne said disappointed.
The food had been great as always.
They were now all asleep, except for Harry.
He thought he would try to see who they boy was before going to sleep.
It took him a while to completely relax and get to where he had gotten into that morning.
He could hear the soft sobbing. He walked towards where he thought it was coming from.
Before he could reach the boy, he saw them.
There they were.
In a dark corner, or so he thought, were the spider webs.
Forgetting about the boy he walked towards them.
He could feel them, they were sticky and they smelled as if they were rotten.
He reached towards them and tried to get rid of them by hand.
But when he got rid of some, new ones appeared.
"The muggle way doesn't work" Harry told himself, "So magic it is"
Of course since he was in his head, he had no wand. So he tried to call his magic into doing what he wanted it to do: getting rid of those spider webs, still wary of there being a spider somewhere near.
But he just didn't know how to do it, tired and annoyed he decided to go to sleep, and maybe wait until Healer Wayne taught him how to do it, before he could do it by himself.
"It must be crowded in there" Luna said seriously staring at him.
It was early in the morning, and everyone was eating their breakfast ready for the first day of class, when Luna walked towards him.
"Not that much" Harry said confused, thinking Luna must be asking about the common room, because of the larger number of first years in Slytherin this year.
"Really?" Luna asked increduosly, "A mind isn't supposed to handle what yours is"
"My mind?" Harry asked confused.
"It must be crowded in there" Luna stated.
"Is she flirting with you?" Theo asked Harry confused.
"I don't think so" Harry answered, not taking his eyes off Luna.
"You should be careful" Luna advice, "Maybe Ycnemulcco could help"
"Ycne… what?" Draco asked, now being part of the discussion.
"Ycnemulcco" Luna repeated, "You need to take control of your mind, I just don't know which you I am talking to"
"What?" the three boys asked at the same time.
"Have a great day" Luna smiled and went towards the Ravenclaw table, she left three very confused slytherin boys behind.
"Mad, that one" Draco said.
"You know her?" Theo asked Harry.
"Yes, she is one of my sister's friends" Harry answered honestly.
"Your sister must be weird then" Theo said, "Did you like my present?" he asked changing the subject to something he had been trying to ask for a long time.
"What?" Harry didn't know what Theo was talking about, he had forgotten about the diary the moment he had hidden it.
"The birthday present I sent you" Theo answered.
"I am not into diaries" Harry said coldly, remembering the diary, which he knew was safely hidden.
Did Theo know about what the diary really was?
It looked like he at least knew it was something that could hurt him. Too much attention was put into it at the moment for his comfort.
"You got him a diary?" Draco asked Theo increduosly, trying hard not to let a loud laugh out.
"It is not a normal diary" Theo defended himself, Draco started laughing and Harry glared at Theo.
"It writes to you back" Theo explained angrily.
"A diary shouldn't write back" Harry stated in the same cold tone.
"Its called magic" Draco stated.
"It still shouldn't write back" Harry said.
"So you are saying, you didn't like my gift?" Theo asked looking offended.
"I just don't like diaries" Harry stated, going back to his food.
"Fine" Theo stated angrily and walked out of the Great Hall.
"That was rude" Daphne stated, once Theo was out of sight, "If you didn't like it, you should have lied"
Harry just shrugged, not really caring about Daphne's advice.
"Really Potter, you are a disgrace to this house" Pansy stated and walked out with Daphne and Blaise besides her.
It was their first class of the year and he was actually looking forwards to it.
Charms had always been an entertaining class. Flitwick was a more than capable teacher.
The class was never quiet, but the only topic there was Charms.
The professor knew how to keep people interested in the subject.
"Welcome back" a very cheerful Professor Flitwick exclaimed at the start of the class.
"He will get a heart attack one of this days" Draco whispered to Harry.
"I though,t maybe today, we could remember what we learned last year" Professor Flitwick tried to tell his class, knowing it wouldn't be received so well.
Everyone in the class groaned except for Hermione, just like Flitwick had known the reaction would be.
"Come on guys" Professor Flitwick sounded excited and tried to get everyone into it as well, "We can see it as a game"
That got everyone's attention, how could it be seen as a game?
"We could make it a contest, or a race" Professor Flitwick started to literally jump up and down.
Murmurs could be heard from the confused, but starting to get excited, class.
Professor Flitwick vanished every chair and desk in the room.
Everyone was standing at the far end of the room with a little muggle toy car in front of them. Some of the purebloods looked like it was the first time they had ever seen a car in their lives.
"Everyone is going to use what they've learned last year in this class, to get the car in front of you to the goal" the Professor explained.
A goal banner appeared at the other end of the room, where Flitwick was standing.
"Easy. now what is that?" Draco asked pointing at the cars.
"It won't be that easy" Professor Flitwick clapped happily, "Those are called cars, it's a muggle type of transportation. Everyone will start at my sign"
The pureblood looked disgusted at the thought of using any type of muggle transportation, and confused as well. Some of them actually put their wands away and crossed their arms.
After a couple of seconds, lights came out of the professors' wand and everyone started to get the car into the other side of the room.
Flames appeared in front of some cars, or the floor started to crack as if an earthquake had appeared in front of others.
Some cars burned and others disappeared into the floor.
Harry hadn't started the race yet, astonished to how hard the race actually looked.
Professor Flitwick was doing everything in his power to make everyone fail. He looked as if he was having the time of his life.
Hermione's car looked as if it was going to make it, until Flitwick saw it and turned it into ice, making the girl adopt a shocked expression.
Wingardium Leviosa
Harry levitated his car towards the other side, where the banner was.
Putting it down gently, and pushed it with a little magic to go through the banner.
"I won" Harry announced calmly.
"What?" The professor asked amused, turning around to see the car that had gone pass him.
Harry pointed to his car, and Professor Flitwick saw that Harry was being honest.
"Congratulations Mr. Potter" The professor exclaimed happily, "20 points to Slytherin" he awarded him.
"Congratulations Mr. Potter" Draco imitated the professor, once class was over.
"That is disrespectful" Hermione chastised, she had been walking behind them.
"That is disrespectful" Draco now imitated Hermione.
Hermione huffed and walked away.
"Hermione wait!" Harry ran after her, it was the perfect opportunity for him to talk to her.
"I'm sure Draco didn't mean it" Harry apologized once he had reached her.
"Yes, he did" Hermione had tears coming down her cheeks.
"He likes you" Harry tried.
"You all left me behind" Hermione sobbed, she had been wanting to ask for a long time why they had left her behind.
"What?" Harry was now confused, he didn't know what she was talking about.
"You went to get the stone without me" Hermione said in a whisper, looking at the floor. She felt a little unsure of herself at the moment. She had thought she had had friends, but they had abandoned her.
"We thought you didn't want to go" Harry tried to make her feel better.
"You still lied to me" Hermione accused angrily, gaining more confidence.
"Hermione, we had to go get it" Harry tried to reason with her, trying to get her to understand how it important it had been.
"No, you didn't" Hermione shoved him lightly, "A professor would have done a better job"
"You can't always expect others to save you" Harry said angrily, he loved Hermione, but he hated the fact that she was so trusting of the power figures around her.
"We are just kids" Hermione looked offended.
"We are capable of doing more than you think" Harry said softly, trying to make her understand and be more trusting of her capabilities.
"You lied to me" Hermione said, more tears coming out.
"I am sorry" Harry apologized sincerely. They had really hurt her.
"It is not enough" Hermione said with intensity in her words.
"What can I do?" Harry asked a little desperate to make things better.
"You can start by answering the question I asked last year" Hermione said seriously.
Flashback
"No, I meant. Why do you think I am more powerful than what I let others know?" Harry asked.
"You killed a Troll" Hermione said.
"No, I didn't" Harry said.
"I was there. You don't have to lie, no one is here but us" Hermione said.
"Hermione, I didn't kill the Troll" Harry said.
"I saw you" Hermione said.
"We are talking about Halloween right?" Harry asked. She nodded.
"The Troll just fell dead" Harry said.
"No it didn't. I saw you kill it" Hermione said getting frustrated.
"I didn't even have time to point my wand at it" Harry said.
"Yes you did, I saw you cast the curse that kill it" Hermione said.
"I think you have no idea of what you saw" Harry said.
"Really?" Hermione asked, "So there is nothing weird about you?"
"No there isn't" Harry said.
"Why did you curse Ron off his broom?" Hermione asked.
"I didn't" Harry said
"You said Draco did" Hermione said, "Yet your wand was the one that was used"
"My wand wasn't used" Harry said.
"Everyone know it was, it was all over the school about the Priori Incantatem, just like the fact that you denied the wand was yours" Hermione said.
"It was a misunderstanding" Harry said.
"You didn't know your own wand?" Hermione asked.
"I didn't had much time with it" Harry said.
"How do you know Ginny Weasley?" Hermione asked. It startled Harry.
"Why do you ask that?" Harry asked surprised.
"So you do know her?" Hermione looked triumphant.
"Why do you think I know her?" Harry asked.
"You mentioned a Ginny. I just wasn't sure it was Ginny Weasley" Hermione said.
"Why is this important?" Harry asked.
"I don't know yet. You are going to answer that" Hermione said.
"I am sorry Hermione but we are all entitled to have our secrets" Harry said, with a finality to his tone.
End of Flashback
"I am sorry Hermione but we are all entitled to have our secrets" Harry said once more, using the same words he had used before.
"There shouldn't be secrets between friends" Hermione said sadly.
"You shouldn't push people to tell you something they aren't ready to tell" Harry stated.
"I thought you trusted me" Hermione looked hurt.
"I do" Harry said.
"Not completely" Hermione said.
"I am sorry" Harry apologized.
"You keep saying that" Hermione said.
"I am really sorry" Harry said.
"We are going to be late" Hermione said, walking away.
"Mr. Potter, you are late" Professor Snape said when Harry walked into the class, one minute before it was supposed to start.
"The bell hasn't rang" Harry protested.
"Maybe a T on today's assignment will help you read a clock" Professor Snape said.
"Being on time is the same as being late" Blaise told him once he sat down, something they had explained to Harry last year.
"And an essay about punctuality" Snape continued once Harry sat down.
The potion they were supposed to do for the class was already written in the board.
Harry started on his potion with Draco.
At the middle of the class, they were interrupted.
"Mr. Potter you already have a T" Snape said once he walked beside him.
"So I shouldn't be doing today's assignment?" Harry asked confused.
"You shouldn't be in my class" Snape stated coldly.
Harry grabbed his things and started to walk out of the room, not really wanting to fight with the potions' master.
"Another detention for walking out of class" Snape called after him.
"But you said…" Harry started to defend himself.
"Maybe and essay about how to act in class" Snape dismissed him.
Harry shut the door close after him.
The first day of classes' had finished with Herbology. it couldn't have come any faster for Harry.
