The class was taught by a ghost named Professor Binns. Apparently he hadn't noticed when he had died in his sleep and got up the next morning to teach like normal. I could tell the majority of the class found the subject boring and the Professor's voice certainly didn't help, but I remained alert in my chair and scribbled down notes along with Hermione.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvnt91K9co

"Then perhaps, a map." Minnie said sternly. I couldn't help but chuckle a little louder. Minnie glanced my way, the corner of her lips tugging into a small smile. "I trust you don't need one to find your seats," she said turning back to face Harry and Ron again.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxdhQ1r7sK

The rest of the lesson went by without a hitch as we continued to copy down notes from the board. Halfway through the lesson we were then given matches that we had to try and turn into needles. I nervously waved my wand and said the incantation. To my surprise, my match immediately turned silver. I grinned widely at Minnie.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VqSi6XJAy

"Yeah, I bet you won't be laughing when it's your turn!" Ron muttered angrily. I shook my head and continued to giggle as we walked to our next class; Defense Against the Dark Arts.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSr2OntOwN
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLLi0zHreX
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdSoOHANpd
Defense Against the Dark Arts was the class we had all been looking forward to the most but Quirrell's lessons turned out to be a bit of a joke. His classroom smelled strongly of garlic, which everyone said was to ward off a vampire he'd met in Romania who he was afraid would becoming back to get him one of these days. His turban, he told us, had been given to him by an African prince as a thank-you for getting rid of a troublesome zombie, but we weren't sure whether we believed this story.For one thing, when Seamus Finnigan asked eagerly to hear how Quirrell had fought off the zombie, Quirrell went pink and started talking about the weather; for another, we had noticed that a funny smell hung around the turban. The Weasley twins insisted that it was stuffed full of garlic as well, so that Quirrell was protected wherever he went. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97p5nZcpBz

As classes continued, Harry and I were relieved to find that we weren't miles behind everyone. Lots of people had come from Muggle families and, like us, hadn't had any idea that they were witches and wizards. There was so much to learn that even people like Ron didn't have much of a head start.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3fhH4occN

"Congrats!" I said applauding Harry and Ron at breakfast on Friday. "You two finally managed to find your way without getting lost." They both glared at me as they shoveled down food but I could tell they weren't actually mad so I wasn't worried. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO2RYZJYRO

"Wish McGonagall favored us," said Harry. Professor McGonagall was head of Gryffindor House, but it hadn't stopped her from giving them a huge pile of homework the day before. I rolled my eyes and continued to skim my potions book in preparation for our lesson. I liked Minnie, and Snape seemed nice enough from what I had gathered in our few encounters. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXwwkgMiKY

Just then, the mail arrived and we all looked up. Harry and I watched in surprise as Hedwig and Salazar came swooping down to drop two letters in front of us. We looked at each other, we never got mail! We pushed aside our plates and quickly opened the envelopes. The letters were roughly the same.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2hQyJFlc1

I shivered as we entered the classroom. It was colder down here than any other part of the castle and the pickled animals floating in glass jars all around the walls didn't help matters. I felt Harry's arm wrap around my shoulder as we sat down at one of the desks and I smiled at him appreciatively. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc2t2mPRYq

Snape, like many other professors had done, started class off by taking roll call. Like Professor Flitwick who taught Charms, he paused when he reached Harry's name. His reaction however, was very different.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHYNogDAtM

"Ah, Yes," he said softly, "Harry Potter. Our new...celebrity." I could hear Draco Malfoy and his friends Crabbe and Goyle sniggering behind their hands and turned in my seat to glare at them. They closed their mouths and I returned to face forward in triumph. Snape paused a second time when he reached my name, but didn't say anything. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXoveuiwDk

"You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making," he began as he looked up at the class. He spoke in barely more than a whisper, but I caught every word. Like Professor McGonagall, Snape had the gift of keeping a class silent without effort. "As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses.... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death - if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach." 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LJdYoLfyi
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGpmZLy7la
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVGOwS25bI
More silence followed this little speech. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Harry and Ron exchange raised eyebrows, but Hermione and I both sat on the edges of our seats; eager to start proving we weren't dunderheads. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPdiaNUa1A

"Let's try again.

Behind us, Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, were shaking with laughter and I glared at them again.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbl3IemXTY

"Thought you wouldn't open a book before coming, eh, Potter?" I knew for a fact that Harry had looked through his books at the Dursleys'.

My head shot up and I looked at him in shock. I hated being put on the spot like that...and how did he even know whether or not I knew the answers? For all anyone knew, I was as clueless as Harry!

"Well? Why aren't you all copying that down?" Snape snarled to the rest of the class, though there was warmth in his eyes as he glanced at me. There was a sudden rummaging for quills and parchment.

"What are the 3 most crucial ingredients in a forgetfulness potion, how long does it take to brew the polyjuice potion, why should Felix Felices not be taken in excess, what is veritiserum used for?" I gulped and stared at him. Did he honestly expect me to know the answers? Those were definitely not mentioned anywhere in our textbook!

"It was so unfair! He better not make a habit out of it or I'll have something to say!" I said as we split up into pairs and got ready to make a simple potion to cure boils. I was starting to get angry again as I thought of the way Snape had treated Harry. Harry simply grinned and put a hand on my shoulder. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfN9WqKgqk

Things didn't improve for the Gryffindors though as the Potions lesson continued. Snape swept around in his long black cloak,watching us weigh dried nettles and crush snake fangs, criticizing almost everyone except Malfoy and I, whom he seemed to favor. Since I was paired with Harry, he simply ignored us and told everyone to look at the perfect way Malfoy had stewed his horned slugs.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquPsFFR1no

Suddenly, clouds of acid green smoke and a loud hissing filled the dungeon. Neville had somehow managed to melt Seamus's cauldron into a twisted blob, and their potion was seeping across the stone floor,burning holes in people's shoes. Within seconds, the whole class was standing on their stools while Neville, who had been drenched in the potion when the cauldron collapsed, moaned in pain as angry red boils sprang up all over his arms and legs. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhFDCQbecO

"Idiot boy!" snarled Snape, clearing the spilled potion away with one wave of his wand. "I suppose you added the porcupine quills before taking the cauldron off the fire?"Neville whimpered as boils started to pop up all over his nose. I shook my head feeling sorry for him.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFUgwtXU9c

"I'd be happy to take him up to the hospital wing, Professor." I said as I skipped my way over to where Neville stood. Snape nodded and the two of us headed for the doors. As I was exiting, we heard him yell at Harry and Ron.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6XlbYrnqH

"You, Potter - why didn't you tell him not to add the quills? Thought he'd make you look good if he got it wrong, did you? That's another point you've lost for Gryffindor."This was so unfair that I opened my mouth and turned back to argue, but Neville let out a loud groan and I decided it was best to get him to the hospital wing pronto. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DLHw7kl9t

"Oh, my! What happened!" the nurse Madam Pomfrey exclaimed as Neville and I entered. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmiIRlI9hY

"There was an accident in potions class, ma'am" I said as I helped Neville to one of the beds so he could sit down. "We were making a cure for boils and he made a mistake with the porcupine quills."450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43FbSzLnDc

"Ahh, I see. Yes, yes, a common mistake, see it all the time. Not to worry, not to worry, easy enough to fix." she said hurrying into her office and reemerging with a bottle of cream. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBqLkzO6hR

Madam Pomfrey drew the curtains around the bed to give him privacy and I stood with my back to it as Neville rubbed the cream all over his skin. After about ten minutes or so I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCSyWuI2Js

"Really, Neville. There's no need to be embarrassed. Didn't you hear Madam Pomfrey? You're not the only one who's messed up on that potion before. It could have happened to anyone." I said reassuringly.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78i2JEHVuy

"Yeah! The weird thing is, they weren't caught, and nothing was found missing! I asked Hagrid about it and he got really weird. I think the person was after whatever was in the vault we visited!"450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR4S03QzsY

"Hmm...it definitely seems like it...we need more information." I said thinking this new information over. It did seem a little too strange to be a coincidence. I finished my meal, hugged everyone goodnight, and walked back to my room; my mind focused on the mysterious small package we had watched Hagrid scoop up.
