It was now only 1 week till the next task. The champions had now retreated to the library. They obviously knew what the next task was or they were just amazing at pretending they did. But they refused to tell even their best friends. Victor and Fleur said they didn't want somebody to tell the other champions and help them. Cedric said he wanted it to be a surprise. But everyone else was getting impatient. Everybody wanted to know. Rumours were going round about underwater adventures, journeys through the forbidden forest and battles with ogres. No doubt the Weasley twins had started these.
Harry was exited. He was looking forward to the next task. And to his potions lesson. He and Draco had put some itching ointment in Snape's pumpkin juice. So halfway through the lesson, Snape should start spluttering, choking and then eventually he'd leave the lesson and then they could just go and have a free period.
"Potter. Why is your potion lilac? It should be magenta. Have you done all of the steps? "
"Yes Sir" "Even step number three? 'Before adding to potion, dice the Baneberries'. Even that Potter? " "No Sir. " "Then you may clear away your in-" He made a weird face. He clawed his throat. Harry smirked. "Sir?" "Not now Potter." He looked like he was choking. Then he shouted "Class dismissed whilst I visit Madam Pomfrey. When I find out who did thi-" he choked. The class roared as he swept out the room.
Sorry the chapter's so short! The next one will be longer! :-)
