Plans

Harry couldn't wait for his lesson with Professor Snape. He was being taught the different ingredients, potion theories, as well as brewing different potions. He was now a few days ahead of the other first years.

Harry entered the private lab and sat down waiting for Professor Snape to enter. He opened a potion journal to read as he waited. He managed to read four pages when he did arrive.

"Good afternoon master Snape." Harry said the formal greeting between apprentice and master.

"Good afternoon apprentice Reese. Today I will teach you how to properly gather some ingredients. Follow me."

Harry stood and followed his master out. He couldn't wait to learn how to gather ingredients properly and he would be able to see where the potion master had gotten such excellent quality ingredients.

"We will be only doing non-dangerous plants until you are taught more advanced defense and offensive spells. Why is that?"

"Some plants, animals, and magical creatures are dangerous so I will need to be able to defend myself and some need to be stunned before harvesting them."

"Correct. Twenty five points to Ravenclaw. I want an essay on that next week on dangerous ingredients and what plant, animal, magical creature needs to be stunned."

"Yes sir."

They stopped at a door with a gold plaque on it that read 'Non lethal/dangerous plants'. Professor Snape grabbed a key ring out of his robes and looked through them. The keys were all shapes and colors. Professor Snape grabbed the gold key that had a p shaped bow. The shaft was as long as a pinky while the blade was short with lots of points.

"This is the key to this room. Later I will give you a copy of the key that way if I ever need you to gather these ingredients you can." Harry nodded and professor Snape opened the door.

They walked into a small room with a door on the other side. Racks lined the walls that were doorless. Professor Snape walked over to one of the racks before he motions Harry over.

"Anytime you enter this room I want you to put on these gloves to protect your hands and these boots to protect your feet."

"Yes sir." Harry said as he put them on.

Professor Snape moved to the racks on the other side. "In these toolboxes are tools used to gather them. Make sure to always grab one."

"Yes master Snape." Harry grabbed one of the toolboxes.

Professor Snape then unlocked the other door with the same key. They entered and Harry was in awe. Flowers and other plants were everywhere. Harry could even see ponds and what looked like an aquarium filled with plants towards the back.

"Wow." Professor Snape just chuckled and led them to some lavender plants.

"Why are we collecting a muggle plant?" The professor asked as he showed Harry what to do.

"Muggle plants are used in potions."

"Good. I also want an essay on what potions muggle plants are used in."

"Yes sir."

"Both need to be at least 3 feet and at most 5 feet."

"Yes sir." With that the two began gathering ingredients.

(Potter Manor)

Lily Potter couldn't believe what had happened to her life since the disagreement with that little brat. Why couldn't anyone see just how special her baby was? Godric had defeated the dark lord for Merlin's sake.

Lily just couldn't understand what the hell they were thinking. First they tell her that her baby isn't making friends and failing, then they tell her that he is bullying and was caught harassing that brat. No she knew that it was that Reese boy that confronted her baby and then cried that he was being bullied.

Godric was smart, powerful, and kind. There is no way that he is a bully. That was why she thought it was unfair and ludicrous that that damn boy had not only gotten away with bullying her son but also is being rewarded with becoming an apprentice.

Lily had to figure out how to get the life she loved back. She sat in the library thinking until an idea came to her. Lily knew that Severus was a death eater so she would tell the ministry then she would tell the board of education at Hogwarts about that brat's cheating. Then she would be able to treat her child like he deserved again and James would be back to normal.

Lily smiled as she thought over the plan only to frown when she realized one problem: Remus. She knew that James and him reconciled. Lily did not want that flea bitten mongrel anywhere near her family. She then realized that she never saw a branding number on his wrist stating that he was a werewolf.

It was perfect. When Lilly informs the ministry on Severus she will tell them that Remus Lupin is an unregistered werewolf. Lily smiled and figured that she would do it Wednesday when James had to go to France for a mandatory meeting for the family business, that way he couldn't interfere with any of her plans.

Lily laid back on the couch smiling. Soon oh so very soon her life would be back to normal. All she had to do was be patient. Knowing that her son was on her side she sent him a letter.

(Hogwarts-Gryffindor Tower)

Godric was sitting on his bed going through his mum's letters. Ever since he was punished she sent him seven to eight letters a day. He would do his homework first before going through them. Luckily Ron offered to help him. Together they went through them.

"Most of these are just about how unfair people are acting towards you and reassuring you that despite what your father said you are very special." Ron said as he finished his pile.

"These too." Godric said with a sigh.

Before they could say anything Hedwig entered the tower and landed on Godric's shoulder. He grabbed the letter from her and she went back to the owlery. Godric opened it before he began to read it.

"Merlin's hairy balls!" Godric gasped.

"What is it?"

"I need to get this to dad."

"Why?"

"Here."

"Bloody hell. Professor Mcgonagall might let you use her fireplace to get a hold of him."

"Let's go."

They both ran to their teacher's office. Luckily they had an hour until curfew. They knocked on the door and she was surprised to see them.

"What can I do for you boys?"

"I need to get into contact with my dad and I was wondering if I could use your floo to do so."

"Why?"

Godric handed the letter over to her. She read it before she allowed them inside.

"Do you know where he is at?"

"At work. Uncle Sirius and another auror are out with the wizarding cold so dad is taking over their shifts with auror Shacklebolt."

The transfiguration's teacher grabbed a bag of powder and threw it into the fire. "MINISTRY OF MAGIC LAW ENFORCEMENT AUROR POTTER'S OFFICE!"

"Hello Minerva." James greeted and then caught sight of his son and Ron. "Godric, Ron? What is wrong?"

"A letter came to your son today from Lily. The contents caused him to become concerned and he came to me so that he could get into contact with you. Please floo over so that you can read the letter."

"Of course." He cut the connection before flooing over.

Professor Mcgonagall handed over the letter and James read it. The contents horrified him.

"Thank you Godric. Even if she had managed to do this nothing would have happened."

"Really?"

"Really. Professor Snape does have the mark but he was forced into it. Remus is a registered werewolf who had the mark until the new law passed. The law states that werewolves are to be registered if they are in contact with wizarding or muggle society and their magic is tracked on every full moon to make sure no one gets hurt. They do not get branded. Those who are, are given a special potion to heal the mark. Remus isn't going against any law. As for Mr. Reese since he isn't cheating nothing will happen."

"Thank Merlin."

"Indeed. Your mum on the other hand would be punished for false accusations."

"Why?"

"Godric, she is accusing people just because I am not treating you as she thinks I should. The ministry does not take kindly to being used for personal gain. She would lose her healing license because she is too fixated on you to do her job."

"Oh. What are you going to do?"

"I think that talking to a mind healer will help when I get home. Godric I don't want you to send her any letters for a while, okay?"

"Okay." Godric said sadly.

"Good." James hugged his son before leaving.

Professor looked at her two lions. They had changed so much and they were only eleven. She looked them in the eye.

"Go back to the dorm boys. I know that this is hard Mr. Potter but you did a good thing. 50 points to Gryffindor. Good night." She smiled proudly at them before they left.

Ron put his arm around Godric's shoulder. "If you want, you can write a letter to my mum. She is a really great listener and she always helps us with our problems."

"I think I will." Ron nodded and they soon entered the tower before they got ready for bed before going to bed.
