CHAPTER 20

I sighed as I listened to Snape go on and on about some stupid antidote to a poison. I noisily pulled out a quill and some ink and began doodling on my textbook.

After about 20 minutes, he finally told us to begin. I just sat there as Jake went off and got the ingredients for it.

As he came and sat back down, I opened my textbook and looked the potion over. Then the most brilliant idea ever came over me.

"Jake! Okay, it says to add these ingredients in this order…" I named them quickly and grinned.

"Okay" he said, completely oblivious to my expression which clearly gave away the fact I was up to no good.

I waited until he looked at my face. He studied it for a second or two before he grinned.

"What's on your mind?"

"What if we start at the end and make our way to the beginning" I said, still grinning.

"So, we're going to add them in backwards?" He said, looking at me.

"Yeah, just to see what will happen…," I answered, grinning.

"Maybe it'll be a poison… considering it's the antidote to one," he said.

"Or maybe it'll blow up," I suggested.

"We should probably put a spell on the cauldron so it won't explode till Snape looks into it…" I said as I grinned mischievously.

After about an hour of potion brewing, Snape began to walk around the class and see how 'poorly' we were all doing. Since we were in the back, we were last. I grinned as he neared our cauldron but I growled as he paused to yell at Neville.

The bell was about to go and I finished putting my textbook away. I giggled with Jake as Snape walked to us with a suspicious look on his face. I bit my lip as he paused before our cauldron. He narrowed his eyes before peering down into it.

BOOM

I burst out laughing as a thick orange smoke filled the room along with the laughter of my fellow Gryffindors. I waved my hands in front of me, trying to clear some of the smoke.

"Ow!" I heard Jake yell and I giggled

"Oops" And I moved in to see his face.

He was still laughing. I high-fived him as the bell rang. I quickly found my cauldron with my hands and cleared it and grabbed it. I was about to make a run for it when

"BLACK AND BLACK!" Snape screamed through the thick fog.

"DOUBLE THE DETENTION AND 40 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR FOR DOUBLE THE STUPIDITY" I groaned and emerged into the hall. As I did, most of the students were clapping and cheering. Even the older and younger students who were only passing. I grinned at Fred and George at the approval on their faces. I laughed and thought 'Oh well, at least it was worth it' as Jake laced his fingers with mine.

A/N: I would love to know what you guys think of it so far!

Ps~ Its almost over but there will be a sequel!!! (But I would be needing some ideas..!)
