An hour later, the two sat across from each other for their first lesson.
This time severus made sure that he was sitting 'correctly' on the chair. After all, he didn't want to remind his student of the first lesson in potions.
Harry himself sat cross-legged on the bed. he alternately stroked the monster book and Blacky.
"So Mr. Potter, what do you know about wild magic?"
The boy didn't think twice.
"On the one hand, that I shouldn't be able to do it."
"What exactly do you mean by that?"
"Wild magic is uncontrolled, it happens and is not used in a targeted manner. Children use them when they are afraid or angry. Hagrid explained that to me back then. "
"Good, anything else?"
"Some parents in the magical world try to force magic into their children. Take Neville's uncle, for example. He held Neville out the window. Actually he wanted the child to do magic through his fear. but the fool dropped Nev. This then showed the wild magic. "
"Longbottom almost got killed by his uncle? No wonder the boy has no self-confidence. "
Harry shrugged.
"Apparently there is nothing worse for a wizarding family than a child without magic."
"That's right, Squibs are called someone without magic."
"They also have a name for everything."
Severus didn't want to go into it now.
"Something else?"
"Only that the wild magic stops when you get your wand. That's how it should be. I don't know why it was different for me. "
Severus looked at the boy in front of him for a while. he really didn't seem to know why his magic broke through.
The teacher took a deep breath.
"By and large, you are right. But there is also another reason for wild magic. "
The boy looked at him with wide eyes.
"Hopefully it's not a disease?"
Severus snorted.
"Potter, if there were any suspicions that you might be sick, the Minister would have taken you to St. Mungo's long ago. the reason for wild magic can also be that the wizard who works it is very powerful. "
"Just like you."
Severus looked at his student in surprise. But then he remembered the newspaper again.
"Yes, just like me. and as you have seen for yourself, that power can be very difficult to control. Not paying attention once and the hangover strophe happened. "

Harry thought for a while.
"But why should I have such power? I mean, Hermione is much better than me. "
Severus made a derogatory noise.
"Ms. Granger is good at school knowledge. But if I gave her a task where she had to be more creative, she would fail. "
the look that met him could only be described as devastating.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not blaming Ms. Granger, I'm just saying how it is. The best example is flying. you surely still remember the lessons in the first year? "
Oh yes he did. And Snape was right. It was extremely difficult for Hermione to keep on the broom. Even Neville learned it faster than his girlfriend.
Harry nodded.
"Well, as far as I understand. But still Hermione knows more spells than I do. Wild magic should also make itself felt with her. "
Severus rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"Potter, your friend knows a lot of spells, but she doesn't use them as well as you do."
"What do you mean by that? She learns faster. "
"Yes that may be. But when you cast a levitation spell, you don't need as much magic to do it as Msgranger. It's not because your friend is Muggleborn, it's because she's doing too much with her head. You, however, learn the magic and then stop thinking about HOW to do it. You just do it. "
"That means Hermione often gets in her own way?"
"I agree."
"How about Ron? Surely you won't say that he's thinking too much. "
"Rather the opposite. darn Potter, stop that look, I can do that much better anyway. If you want to know exactly, Mr. Weasley is just too hectic. With him everything has to work out immediately. if it doesn't, he becomes aggressive and that usually ends with his kettle blowing up. "
Harry giggled again.
"You followed closely."
"Save your jokes. Will I have to listen to this all summer now? "
"I'm still on vacation," the boy pouted. And the mutt jumped on the bed and snuggled up to the student.
'Yeah, just stick together.' Merlin, when did he get so childish?

severus reached down on the table and grabbed a book.
"Here, in this book, the wild magic is described in great detail. Read it, then we'll start the lesson. "
Harry took the book. Then he stared at his teacher. the look became more and more resigned.
The jailer also noticed that, of course.
"Potter, I know you think I'm a terrible teacher."
"You ARE a terrible teacher," the boy interrupted.
"Don't interrupt me. Besides, it is your own fault if you do not learn anything in my class. You just have to be careful. "
The boy didn't want to let that sit on him.
"Watch out? Professor, the only thing you do is write a recipe on the board and tell us the page number in the book. And then we should brew. It's like working with a cookbook, but it has nothing to do with teaching. "
The boy looked challengingly at the man in front of him.
"If you don't understand something, please ask."
"As if that would help. Hermione tried the first year. either you ignored them or made fun of their ignorance. Otherwise, sneak around in class and diligently deduct points. How should you concentrate there? "
