Just to tell you all- Stella is in love with Scorpius and Snitch is in love with James. It was their requests :)
Chapter 4- Potions
The next day the girls woke up in all of their separate house dormitories and made their way down to the Great Hall for breakfast. They all met in the Entrance Hall. "Hey Willow, does the Ravenclaw common room look nice?" Pippa asked.
"It's awesome! How's the Gryffindor one?"
"Oh It's nice…" Snitch replied airily. "Now what's for breakfast?" she said, more alert. "I hope it's cake!"
"They're not going to have cake for breakfast Snitch," said Stella with a roll of her eyes.
They walked into Great Hall. Snitch pointed to something on the table. It was a big, white, cake.
"I stand corrected." said Stella. "But it's breakfast cake, not cake, so technically I was right."
"And it's not chocolate cake, I like chocolate cake." Replied Snitch disappointedly.
"See you Stella, See you Willow!" Pippa said as they went to their house tables with a big wave.
"Stop doing that." Snitch said.
"Doing what?"
"Waving so high and big like that." She demonstrated with an exaggerated wave. "It's annoying me." She caught James Potter looking at them quizzically. "See!" She hissed. "Now he's wondering why we are waving to mid air!"
"You were waving to mid air. I was waving to Willow and Stella." Pippa replied with a giggle.
"Whatever." Snitch replied. "Let's eat!"
At the end of breakfast they all met again in the entrance hall to go to Potions, which was their first lesson.
"How was breakfast at your tables?" Stella asked the group.
"Well," Willow began. "Lorcan put salt into his orange juice you know because he was experimenting for his WizzardFizzle drink or whatever and it happened to be sugar so it was all sweet and he gagged and Lysander then put some cereal and apple juice in it and-"
Willow caught them all looking at her puzzled.
"All I heard was WizzardFizzle, something something Lorcan, something something Lysander, something something…can you slow down and say it?" Pippa said with a smile.
"Oh never mind!" said Willow with a laugh. "Let's just go to Potions!"
They made their way down into the dungeons and got lost twice. By the time they got to Potions Classroom, they were late. They ran up to the entrance, breathless. "Why are you late girls?" said Professor Grassus, with a voice cutting through the air like a knife. The girls were stunned for a moment looking at the intimidating figure of Professor Grassus towering over them like a giant.
"We-we lost our way." Pippa told her.
"Don't be late again." She turned her back on them and swept towards the front of the classroom, her cloak sweeping behind her.
The girls ran toward the two empty desks. Willow and Snitch shared a desk and Stella and Pippa shared one.
"So let us see who is in this class." Professor Grassus began.
"Colin Creevey, Fred Weasley, Roxanne Weasley, Stella Flint, Willow Davies, Snitch Wood-" She paused for a moment over Snitch's name. "Pippa Williams, ("Oh, not another one!" She said exasperatedly) Guy David, Finnigan Finnigan-" She continued reading the names and finally slammed the scroll back down on her desk. All the students jumped.
"Now!" She barked. "Get out your Potions Book and read Chapter 1!" For the next ten minutes, all the students read Chapter 1, not daring to take their eyes of the page.
"Now get out your cauldrons! Add an infusion of wormwood to-" Suddenly she stopped and her eyes glazed over. She started having a fit and letting out gurgling noises. The girls sprang into action. "Finno," Snitch commanded. "You go get help!"
"Finno?" Finn enquired.
"That's your new nickname! Now just go!"
Finnigan scrambled out of the dungeon. Willow and Pippa had gone and grabbed the table cloth off the Potions Mistresses desk and Stella was rolling Grassus onto it, who was now rolling around on the floor chucking short random spasms and gurgling "SSSSSssss!" "sssSSSSS!"
"C'mon let's take her to the Hospital Wing!" Stella yelled.
They each grabbed an end of the purple silk table cloth and rushed Grassus out, the rest of the class looking on open mouthed.
They ran up the stairs and down the corridors panting and moaning with their heavy load.
"She's so fat and heavy!" Willow moaned.
Finally got to the Hospital Wing, and rushed her in and put her on the floor with relieved sighs.
"What is this?" exclaimed Professor Foood. "Oh, poor professor Grassus- What is happening?"
Professor Grassus was still moaning and moving on the purple cloth. "SSSSSS! SSSS!"
"Thank you girls for bringing her here. Headmaster Weasley will be informed. That was very good of you. You may leave. We'll take it from here."
Right on cue, two nurses came out with a big stretcher and one with some curious pink liquid in a vial.
The four breathless girls made their way out of the Hospital Wing. "Well that was quite an experience!" Pippa remarked. "For our first lesson!"
"Yeah." They all replied, and made their way back to Potions Classroom, to meet Finn and the teacher he went to get.
