Back at the office

Well then Harry. I have nothing to say to you. Just wanted you to come have tea with me.

-gives wand a flick and tea appears on the desk-

And to find out how well you are getting on with your Occlumency lessons with Professor Snape.

-adds thoughtfully-

So? Any improvement?

~Professor Dumbledore~

-looks around-
Partner... partner...
Argh.
-spots ron-
should I..... ?

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

Miss Chang !!

Why are you peeking into the Year Fives' dungeons every now and then ?

Aren't you supposed to be in classes now ?

That's another five points you've lost for Ravenclaw.

-ruffled-

Hmmmmmf.

They've gone off to look for partners for their Love Potion,
and will be returning shortly.

Hmmmmmmmmmfs.

-turns away and paces around the dungeons-

-mutters something which sounded remarkably like "no chance of finding Harry in here"-

+ Professor Snape +

Reborn from ashes

-rolls eyes-
-mutters under breath-
Egoistical piece of slime.

-runs off to find a partner-

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY ???

-greases hair nervously-

Me ? Unpopular !?

-chuckles nervously-

Utter nincompoop !!

Hurry up and go find your partner !!!

-mutters under breath-

+ Professor Snape +

Reborn from ashes

-opens mouth to say something-
-closes mouth and glares at Snape-

-mutters under breath-
Unpopular, look who's talking.
hah !

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

-smirks-

I didn't know you were that unpopular ehh -sarcastically-

Why not take our dear Longbottom ?? -insults-

-smirks again-

+ Professor Snape +

Reborn from ashes

-looks up-
urm... well...
you see... I....
I... don't have one...

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

Granger ?

Where's your partner ??

-slicks hair down-

-looks around frantically-
Oh great, who do I give this to...
-eyes potion-

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

Meanwhile...

Outrageous !!

One day I'm just SO going to do something about that Minerva.

She's ALWAYS interrupting my lessons.

Moreover, this is a test !!

-mutters to self-

-notices most of the students have finished with their potion and are filling tiny glass bottles with their mixture-

-grins evilly-

Very well !! Now you may all go and find your partner and be back in 10 minutes.

Anyone who even tries to skip the test in that measly 10 minutes will die a terrible death.

-everybody gets up and goes off-

-eyes Harry's cauldron-

-looks at Draco, who was also eyeing Harry's cauldron-

-cackles-

+ Professor Snape +

Reborn from ashes

er... well then. take a sit Harry.

-waves wand and chair appears-

sit.

-looks expectantly at Harry-

~Professor Dumbledore~

Reborn from ashes

In the office

-looks at Harry Potter and Professor Mcgonagall standing in the doorway expectantly-

~Professor Dumbledore~

Reborn from ashes

-hears-

Ahem !!

-deliberately- Only 5 minutes left !!!

(in real life there are actually still 20 minutes left, but Snape just wants to make life hard for Harry)

-students jerk heads up and exclaim in shock-

-determined to fail Harry-

-pushes a few chopped sunflower roots into Harry's cauldron without him noticing-

-Harry's potion start to sizzle and boil into a sick purple color-

Now then, hurry up, people !!

+ Professor Snape +

Reborn from ashes

-glares angrily at Snape-
-mutters under breath-
Biased. Biased. Biased.

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

May I borrow THAT, Granger.

-snatches note away-

No notes during a test ! Even though this is a pre-test, you are still to treat it as a real one !

Understand ???

Five points from Gryffindor !!

And Weasley, your potion looks very green to me.

A probable D, I must say.

-cackles-

+ Professor Snape +

Reborn from ashes

-reading the note behind her cauldron-
-looks at ron-

-whispers-
congrats...

-quickly hides the note somewhere-

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

-looks at Snape-
... right ...

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

-bows head-

Oh, ohh !! Sure, sure Albus...

-grits teeth-

All right ! I'll make sure whoever told Albus about my unbanning of the Love Potion gets into major trouble.

MEANWHILE,

has everybody finished your potion ??

If NOT, you can't leave yet, Miss Granger.

-raises eyebrow at Hermione-

+ Professor Snape +

Reborn from ashes

-step swiftly into the potions class, interupting the test-
and what, do you think you are doing, Severus?
-looks into one of the cauldron-
oh my. asking them to make a Love potion?
-winks at Severus-
But, just as well. they are after all, old enough to be doing this. But Severus, do not go around unbanning other potions just because I allow you to unban the Love potion.
-looks at students-
Well then, continue with the test.
-walks off swiftly-

~Professor Dumbledore~

Reborn from ashes

-waves hand in the air-
Professor, I have finished making the potion.

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

-calls after Cho-

ANOTHER FIVE POINTS OFF RAVENCLAW !!!

FOR GIVING HARRY LUCK !!

HAH !

+ Professor Snape +

Reborn from ashes

-ignores Cho-
-adds ingredients to cauldron-

-mutters under breath-
Serves her right for interrupting the class

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

-glares at Cho-
-mutters under breath-
I didn't say he would be my partner...

-looks around for a partner-
-continues making potion-

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

-notices Cho spouting gibberish at one side-

No talking when students are having tests !

Ten points from Ravenclaw !!

+ Professor Snape +

Reborn from ashes

Tip him off indeed.

-chuckles stupidly-

I'll MAKE SURE Potter fails. -whispers to self-

-not exactly a whisper though, as Cho strains her ears-

The Next Day, Potions Pre-test

-eyes everyone in front of their cauldrons-

Your test today is to whip up a Love Potion.

Everything you need will be in the students' cupboard.

And -smirks- to see if your potion works, you have to get a partner and test it on.

You have one hour before I declare the end of the test and allow you to find your partner.

-laughs maniacally at the weird things that will start happening when students feed each other with their Love Potion-

Reborn from ashes

| enters the Great Hall and sees Snape sitting at the High Table with his "nose wrapped up like a sushi" |
| breaks out into silent laughter |
| leans over to Hermione |
He looks ridiculous!
| stops short when Snape announces the pre-test |
Oh no!
Harry's going to have a test already?
I have to wish him good luck, that Snape's horrible, he might give him a D...
Harry!
Good luck!
Don't be too upset if you get a D, try harder for your OWLs, they matter more...

| Cho |

Reborn from ashes

-heads turn towards hermione-
What ? Well, it's true you know !
Our OWLs is coming !
And you should have started studying

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

-sits in the Great Hall with nose wrapped up like a sushi-

-sees students streaming in-

-grins evilly as a pre-test for Potions is being announced-

We should all thank your dear fellow schoolmate, Miss Granger here, for suggesting this.

You all should be prepared for your OWLs !!

-eyes the guestbook deliberately-

The test will be held tomorrow !!

AND -sharply- don't even COMPLAIN to me that you don't have time to study.

You should have already begun studying for your exams.

-slicks hair down with some greasy gel in satisfaction-

+ Professor Snape +

Reborn from ashes

| screams after Draco |
What did you say, Malfoy?
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?
HOW DARE YOU INSULT HARRY AND HERMIONE?
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!?!?!
YOU SHUT UP YOU...
SNAKE!

| turns to face Harry |
Harry, you all right?
Don't take what he said to heart, I...
| stops at the look on Harry's face |

-turns around at the scream-
huh ?

-burst out laughing-
nice one, professor !

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

-follows the girls into the Quidditch pitch-

I will NOT tolerate this sort of-

AAH !!!

-gets hit in the nose by a Bludger-

Reborn from ashes

-raises eyebrow-
No... he didn't tell me...

They are skipping potions ?!
What about their grades ?!
-shakes head-

Anyway, ok, I will come along,
I am searching for ron anyway.

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

I have no idea...
I'm going to look for him now.
Want to come?
He's probably with Ron somewhere at the Quidditch pitch, he told me this morning he was going to try to skip Potions.
| giggles |
I suppose he told you as well.

| Cho |

Reborn from ashes

-shudders-
he must be out of his mind
where's harry and the others anyway ?

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

-sobs-

Everybody detests my lessons !!!

-shoots a glare at Luna-

-mutters under breath-

Rubbish magazines...

+ Professor Snape +

Reborn from ashes

-indignantly- Pathetic Morons !?

-mutters under breath-
Why am I here anyway ?

-snaps-
Fine. It's not my business

-looks around-
Where's Ron ?!

-closes book and storms off-

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

Mind your own business, Granger.

I seem to recall only Miss Chang and Potter are in this couple business.

-shoots a glare right back-

Ah, ah. Of course I'm not punishing Potter for not being present.

It's because he issued a secret meeting with our poor Miss Chang here.

-straightens robes-

I am always fair.

-grins sickeningly-

And Miss Chang, I am certainly not going to tell you what I'm going to do to Potter.

Until I see him, of course.

...

-wonders aloud-

Where IS everybody ?

Maybe they've all gone to watch the Quidditch practice ??

!!!

THAT GOOD-FOR-NOTHING JOHNSON MUST HAVE ISSUED THE PRACTICE

TILL EVERYONE'S FORGOTTEN ABOUT POTIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!

Except certain pathetic morons here...

-grins stupidly at self-

+ Professor Snape +

Reborn from ashes

Yeah Sna-...
Er, Professor Snape, sir.
I agree with Hermione, Professor.
Why aren't Malfoy and the others punished?
You're really bia-...
Oh no not again.

| Cho |

Reborn from ashes

-jerks up at harry's name-
What the... ?!

He's not the only one who is not present !
Malfoy is not here either !
Why is Harry the only one being punished ?!

-glares at snape-

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

Sea of heads ?? -repeats sharply at Cho-

My dear Miss Chang, I simply do not recall seeing any head about three seconds ago,
except yours and Miss Granger's.

What happened to all my students !?

Malfoy ? -calls out-

-no response-

Secret meeting huh.

Potter's in BIG BIG trouble this time.

+ Professor Snape +

Reborn from ashes

-turns around to face professor snape-
Oh ? Sorry Professor
I was reading my book

-walks over-
Well, we are ready now aren't we ?

-starts reading again-

`Hermione

Reborn from ashes

Ahem, ahem. Round up, wizards and witches !! Time for your Potions.

-looks around in silence-

Hello ???

-peers around hopefully-

I said, TIME FOR YOUR POTIONS !!

This is getting out of hand. I demand to see all the students right this very minute !!
