As I walked into the classroom, I saw Professor Slughorn setting stuff up.
I took a seat in the back of the classroom. All the Slytherins were arriving first. They were all eyeing me. Not sure who I was. Then Professor turned and his eyes settled on me.
"Ah, you must be our new student. Miss…" he looked through some papers. "Ahhh…Miss Potter, would I be wrong in assuming you might be related to James?"
All the Slytherins spun around to stare at me.
"That would be right professor, she's my baby sister." James said walking into class..
"Oh yes, 'cause I'm so much younger than him." I said sarcastically.
"There twins professor." Remus said weakly. Sick of always explaining it. James sat down next to me while Sirius and Remus sat at a desk next to ours. Peter was on the desk in front of us with some girl.
"Excellent, Excellent." Professor Slughorn said. "Now this year we will be working very hard, as at the end of the year you will all be taking your O.W.L's. So today I thought we would start with a small fun exercise. You will all work in pairs and I will give you a box. This box will contain ten vials of potion. You will identify them and write it down on a piece of parchment. Then you will hand it in and I will correct it." He waved his wand and the boxes each flew to a desk.
When our box landed, James tried to open it but I hit his hand away.
'What's that for?" he asked holding his hand.
"James if you touch this box something will explode. Again." I said. I heard a laugh from near us. I turned and saw Lilly trying to keep in a laugh.
"Lily-flower, what's so funny?" James said immediately entranced by her.
"Yes Lily-Blossom, enlighten us." I said mockingly hitting James.
"Oh, hi… Jade. I just found it funny. I mean James is dreadful at potions. I was actually afraid it might have ran in the family." She said.
"Well, see the thing is. Potions is a lot like cooking…And James burns toast." I said insightfully.
I opened the box and stared in it for a minuet before scribbling down ten names. My hand writing was just like James' but a bit neater. Then I closed the box and sat in silence for a second before raising my hand.
"Yes, Miss Potter? Is there a problem with the exercise?" Professor asked walking towards us.
"Actually professor, there's no problems at all. In fact, we're finished." I said brightly and handed him the sheet. He studied it for a moment before his eyes widened.
"Well they're labeled right. Would this be your doing, Miss Potter? I mean it is in James' hand writing but he has never really excelled as much in my class." He said.
"Not all me. James is good at identifying potions. It's making them he can't do." I said. Professor nodded and looked looking deep in thought.
"50 points to Gryffindor. Now you seem to be gifted in potions. Please move to the desk next to Mr. Snape. He is also an excelled student in my class and I think you will work well together." I nodded and quietly packed my stuff up.
"But, Professor!" James said in protest.
"No, James. I want no house rivalry in my class. My class is about potions skills and abilities― not who hexed who in what corridor." Professor Slughorn said through his large mustache.
I sat down at the desk Professor Slughorn had pointed to, which was next to a boy tall boy with black straight hair that was leaning towards the long side. He was reading his potions book and scribbling notes on it.
"Hi, I'm Jade Potter. You must be Severus." I said nicely with a kind smile. He turned and looked at me incredulously. "This must be a shock, coming from a Gryffindor, a Potter no less. But I'm not as arrogant and big-headed as my dim-witted brother." I said. He nodded.
"Okay…Hi." He said. I could feel James's questioning gaze on me. I opened the connection between our minds.
"Why, hello James. Nice weather, Huh?" I thought calmly to him.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? BEING FRIENDS WITH SNAPE!!." He thought so loudly I flinched and put my hands up to my temples.
Snape turned to me. "You alright?" he said before catching himself and remembering who I was.
"Yea, I'm fine. It's just my brother being a git. But what's new?" I said turning to face James. I sent him such a fierce glare that I could see Sirius and Remus flinch at it.
Then Professor Slughorn told us to start on a project. We were to make an intermediate level potion as a long-term project. He wrote a list on the board to choose from. He also declared that whoever you were sitting next to was your partner for the project regardless of what house you were in.
James got so angry that his anger hit me in a sharp pain in my head. I groaned clutching my head. "Are you sure your fine?" Severus asked again. I groaned again lightly.
James ran over to stand in front of me with his hands on my shoulders. "Oh, Merlin. I'm sorry Jade. Merlin knows, I didn't mean it. I'm so sorry." He said quickly.
"Too bad, James. That hurt. A LOT. You're such a pig-headed git. You hurt your sister over a stupid grudge. You ass. No wonder Lily won't go out with you. Just go back to your table." With that I set a strong wall between our minds. I took a few deep breaths calming myself.
"So, what potion should we do?" Severus asked. I studied the list. The hardest one on it was Polyjuice Potion, and that was really easy.
"I actually think that most of them are to easy." I said truthfully.
"Would you be againstmaking FelixFelicis? I've never made it and it sounds challenging." He asked.
"Lucky Potion." I noted thoughtfully. "I can't see why not." I answered. It sounded like fun and maybe I could get a little to help me to get with Sirius. Wait, I couldn't get with Sirius. He's Sirius. God, why did I have to fall of one of James's best friend? And why does Sirius have to look so dam godly all the time, it's not fair!
I snapped out of my thoughts and called Professor Slughorn over.
"Professor? As both Jade and myself are quite good at potions and agree that the potions on the list are too easy and would be of no challenge, May we make a more difficult potion?" Severus asked. Professore Slughorn furrowed his brow.
"What potion were you thinking of?" he asked.
"FelixFelicis sounded good. I am sure it's a challenge and would be a better potion for our level of skills." I said. "And while some students would be rather dumb and give out the potion, we both can be trusted. Wouldn't you say?" I said finishing in an almost arrogant and very Slytherin-like way. Professor chuckled.
"You're smart, I'll give you that. How you didn't get out in my house I don't think I will ever understand. Very well, but you must be very careful. If you are successful you will get quite a bit of extra-credit as it is a very difficult potion." With that he went to note down what potions other pairs were doing.
Suddenly a small paper airplane landed neatly on my desk. I opened it and read the note
Sis,
You HAVE to let me have some Lucky potion,
when you've finished it. I can use it to get Lily-Blossom to
to be mine.
J1.
I rolled my eyes and wrote a note back.
Jamie,
I will do no such thing, and you should know better than to
have expected me to actually given you some.
Nice paper-plane spell, you're getting better. It actually landed.
This time.
J2.
I charmed it into a bird shape and it flew away and circled Sirius's head a few times before skimming over Remus's head and landing on James shoulder, where it unfolded its self.
He read it his face falling. Then just as he finished reading it, it burst in to flames sending a bit of blue smoke into the air. Oops, minor mistake.
James's desk and the front of his robed were covered in blue powder. He was just sitting the shocked. Then he replaced it with a smirk.
"I always thought blue suited my complexion." He said.
