Capítulo 6: Slytherin Pride
The pair sat down and McGonagall began explaining about transfiguration, and how dangerous it was and how it was important to obey her instructions. She handed everyone a needle and ordered them to turn them into matchsticks. Harry lazily waved his wand over the needle and transformed it into a needle, he then handed it back to McGonagall. Who looked amazed, she looked over the match before looking at Harry.
"That was quick" She said, she turned the matchstick into a needle and handed it to Harry "please show me it" Harry did so, except this time he remembered to actually say the incantation and the matchstick turned into a needle.
"My, that's impressive Mr Potter. I dare say that your father would be proud, he was excellent at transfigurations, take ten points to Slytherin."
"Thank you Professor" Harry smiled at her, and once she left he began helping Daphne and Tracy who had eventually got it as well. Granger came close, but not as good as Harry or his friends. Neville was still having difficulties and Harry couldn't seem to work out why.
After the class finished, Harry walked out of the lesson with Daphne and Tracy and they were talking when someone decided to walk up alongside them.
"How did you do that?!" Hermione demanded
"I've done a lot of things, can you please be more specific?" Harry replied
"You turned it before me" She pointed out
"And your point?" Harry raised an eyebrow
"How did you do it?"
"McGonagall explained how to do it in the class" Harry replied "not my fault if you weren't paying attention"
"I was paying attention!" She snapped "But you still did it before me, you must have been cheating!"
"Power, will, intent" Harry replied "that's all I used. I just focused on what I preciously wanted the needle to turn into and focused on the details, it's really not that complicated"
"But that can't be it!"
"Listen Granger" Daphne interrupted "it's the exact same thing that Harry told us in class, believe it or don't but stop bothering us."
Daphne grabbed Harrys arm and the started pulling him so he would walk faster, Tracy sped up alongside them and soon they had managed to get some distance between themselves and Hermione. At that point Daphne realised that she was holding Harry's arm, and let go. Harry for his part didn't say anything, he just smiled but Tracy wasn't the same.
"So Daphne" She said "I think it's nice of you to protect your boyfriend from the evil Miss Granger"
"He's not my boyfriend" Daphne replied, not looking either of them in the eye
"Lay off her Tracy" Harry said "I for one am thankful for her saving me from Granger, so as thanks" Harry kissed Daphne on her cheek, before walking slightly faster than Daphne because he was pretty sure he'd laugh at her reaction and from the sounds of it, Tracy was.
Soon they arrived at potions class, Harry sat down and Daphne sat on his right while Tracy sat on his left. Soon everyone else came in and sat down, Snape walked in, his cape billowing as he did. He introduced himself and quickly talked about the class before looking around at everyone.
"Ah, Mr Potter" He said to Adrian "our new celebrity, tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
"I dunno, a potion?" Adrian replied, Hermione raised her hand.
"Then tell me, Potter, where would you look if I asked you to find a bezoar?"
"Your potions cupboard?" Hermione raised her hand even higher
"Ten points for your cheek, now what is the difference between monkshood and Wolfsbane?" Hermione had actually stood up.
"I don't know" Adrian admitted
"Tut, tut. It seems fame isn't everything" Snape said before he turned and ignored Hermione, he looked at Harry "and what about you? Do you know the answers?"
"Yes sir" Harry nodded "the first answer is the draught of living death, you can find a bezoar in the stomach of a goat and there is no difference between the monkshood and Wolfsbane. They are the same plant and can go by the name of aconite"
"Correct" Snape nodded, Hermione sat down, looking a little upset at the fact that somebody had answered instead of her.
"Come on" Ron shouted "there's no way he could have known all that, he is probably cheating"
"Either that or I read the potions book that we were supposed to buy" Harry replied "all of that information is in the first half of it."
"Mr Potter is correct" Snape said "twenty points to Slytherin and ten points from Gryffindor for interrupting the lesson"
Soon Snape set everyone off on making potions, he walked around the class and inspected each potion. Hadrian Potter was making his potion with ease, he was also working well alongside Daphne Greengrass. Another surprise for him was when he saw Tracy Davis working alongside Neville Longbottom, he turned when he heard a bang from behind him.
Adrian Potter was standing shock and staring at Ronald Weasley who was covered in boils, it was clear his potion had went wrong and exploded.
"What are you doing Potter?" He snapped "do you think you'd look good if he failed, ten points from Gryffindor, now take him to the hospital wing"
Adrian mumbled under his breath before leaving, taking Ronald Weasley with him as he did. Harry couldn't help but smirk, he knew it wasn't that funny but as a Slytherin he had to enjoy this, it was the rules and he didn't break rules, or at least not when they don't bother him. At the end of the class, Professor Snape told him to hold back while everyone left.
"I believe you are wondering why I told you to stay behind" Snape said
"Yes sir and I doubt it's because you like to stare at my face so I assume there is something you want to talk about"
"Yes" Snape nodded "a few things, the first of which is how you are so good in potions"
"Like I told Weasley, I did read, I just didn't limit myself to the school books"
"Hmm?" Snape raised an eyebrow "what else did you read?"
"Nothing illegal or forbidden sir" Harry replied
"You don't feel like telling me?" Snape said, debating over if he should read his mind.
"Maybe in the future but for now it's my secret, but like I said, it's not anything that would break rules. Now, is there anything else you would like to discuss sir?"
"Yes" Snape nodded "the headmaster would like to see you in his office after your classes have finished. You will wait in the great hall and I will come and collect you, is that understood?"
"Yes sir" Harry nodded "thank you" He made his way out of class, leaving a thoughtful Snape.
"What did he want?" Daphne asked, she and Tracy were waiting outside
"Just to ask me about class and tell me the headmaster wanted to talk to me"
"Why would he want to talk to you?" Daphne wondered
"I can think of a few reasons" Harry sighed
"Care to share them?"
"No, I need to mentally relax because I can guarantee a headache by the end of this meeting."
