Finally it was mid-October the year 1996, it was almost Christmas break I was excited to finally have a fully family Christmas!, getting up and stretching out in bed I accidently slipped on the cold tile floor, it felt good it was almost waiting for me up I scratched my head yawning, pulling on my white dress shirt, tying my silver and green tie under the collar i placed it down, finally pulling on my skirt my knee highs and tying my shoes, i pulled my Slytherin robes on finally being able to get of the Girls dormitory racing out of the common room and to the great hall to get some food eating a decent amount some eggs, a muffin, and some bacon as well as drinking my juice George had already finished eating before I had I got up walking over to the Gryffindor table, kissing his cheek whispering in his ear
Good luck today in classes Georgie!
You too Scarlet, youll do great love, come on Ill walk you there
Thanks, Georgie
How was the last few month?
Really awesome! Greengrass and Parkinson haven't done much to me recently but who knows what they could be planning next,
That is true Scarlet but Ill protect you
I smiled at this thought of him being my protector, it made me feel good inside to finally have him back in my life, we climbed up to the sixth floor corridor heading to potions, I smiled as we continued to hold hands it seemed as if some girls were jealous of me I didn't really care to notice if they envy me or not, we slowly reached the potions classroom I had a few moments to spare as I kissed him, and headed into potions taking my usual seating in the middle on the right side pulling out my books, and cauldron pewter size 2 to get set up my father smiled as the other students seemed to pile in some were late some had been on time or early like I had been. My father looked over all of us taking in every single detail doing a hum and ha figure out what to say.
Todays lesson class, The Draught of Living Death brings upon its drinker a very powerful sleep that can last indefinitely. This draught is very dangerous if not used with caution ... This is an extremely dangerous potion. Execute with maximum caution."
I was happy as he had said that potion it was one of my best brews other than wolfsbane potion, he almost started to speak again,
The history this potion is as followed, The Draught of Living Death is an extremely powerful sleeping draught, sending the drinker into a deathlike slumber, similar to suspended animation. This draught is an advanced potion, The potion is difficult to concoct your job today is to try and brew a perfect draught of living death in the two hours of class you have you better get at it
I smiled I could do this no problem my father smiled at me and took his seat, watching the class I pulled out my potions book, looking for Draught of living death in the back of my book, it was page 368 I found it and smiled and carefully went over the brewing instructions in my head to memorize it.
Add the Infusion of Wormwood.
Add the powdered root of asphodel.
Stir twice clockwise.
Add the sloth brain.
Add the Sopophorous bean's juice.
Stir seven times anti-clockwise.
My father's notes on this potions had been in here along with some notable examples I smiled this would make potions even easier this year
Severus Snape's notes
The Sopophorous bean should be crushed with a silver dagger, not cut, releases juices more efficiently.
The juice from 13 Sopophorous beans should be used, rather than 12.
Stir anti-clockwise seven times and clockwise once instead
The notable examples were quite good, The Wiggenweld Potion is capable of reversing the effects of the Draught. The Hag Leticia Somnolens used the Draught in an attempt to kill a princess who made her jealous. A prince who placed Wiggenweld Potion on his lips revived the princess with a kiss.
I had finished the potion quite easily and quickly and so my father let me sit until the end of class, I smiled as soon potions class was over for the day, I headed to care for magical creatures Hagrid was teaching it showing us a Magical creature, I wondered which one it had been as I headed down to the first where class was being held, I looked around running down i spotted hagrid and a Hippogriff I smiled,
Hagrid! This is awesome! I love these creatures!!!
Why miss Snape! Why don't you get to reading before the other students get here?
Of course Hagrid!
Physical appearance Hippogriffs have the bodies, hind legs, and tails of horses, but the front legs, wings, and heads of giant eagles, with cruel, steel-colored beaks and large, brilliantly orange eyes. The talons on their front legs were half a foot long and deadly-looking. It is stated that, once you get over the initial shock of seeing something that's half horse, half bird, you start to appreciate the hippogriffs' gleaming coats, which change smoothly from feathers to hair. Hippogriffs come in several different colours, including stormy grey, bronze, pinkish roan, gleaming chestnut, and inky black.
The diet of the Hippogriff consists mainly of insects, birds, and small mammals such as ferrets. They will sometimes paw at the ground for worms if no other food is readily available. When breeding, Hippogriffs build nests on the ground and lay only a single, fragile egg. The egg usually hatches in twenty-four hours. Infant Hippogriffs are capable of flight within a week, but it takes many months before they are strong enough to accompany their parents on long journeys. approaching the Hippogriff slowly and carefully When Humans approach Hippogriffs, a proper etiquette must be maintained to avoid danger. Hippogriffs are intensely proud creatures, and an individual must show proper respect by bowing to them, and waiting for them to bow in return before approaching. Eye contact should be maintained at all times, without a single blink. The Hippogriff should be allowed to make the first move, as this is polite. If offended, it may attack. Hippogriffs are tameable, but only by experts in their care
Although proud, Hippogriffs can also be fiercely loyal and protective of those who have earned their trust,
Owners of Hippogriffs are required by law to cast a Disillusionment Charm on the creature every day to prevent it from being seen by Muggles. Using Hippogriffs for personal transportation is also illegal under the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.
Hippogriffs at Hogwarts
I smiled as I read about the Hippogriffs everyone had come standing around and reading I looked up a Hagrid, and he nodded meaning in a few minutes he would make his speech and I could try to show Buckbeak that I wanted to be loyal to him I waited for several minutes before Hagrid bellowed out.
Times upset your books down!
Who want to try and get Buckbeak to show respect!
How about you Miss Snape
"Now, firs' thing yeh gotta know about' hippogriffs is, they're proud. Easily offended, hippogriffs are. Don't insult one, 'cause it might be the last thing yeh do. Yeh always waits for the hippogriff she makes the first' move. It's polite, see? Yeh walk towards him, and yeh bow, a' yeh wait. If he bows back, we're allowed to touch him. If he doesn' bow, then get away from him sharpish, 'cause those talons hurt."
I looked at Buckbeak fallowing Hagrids instructions very carefully I took a few steps toward him he started a slight fit as a began to bow I held my arms out holding them now daring to look up he got mad Hagrid looked at me,
Scarlet! Get out of there!
But as I stood Buckbeck stopped and bowed down to my left Hagrid and the class cheered for me, but that obviously wasn't good enough Draco had to stick his damn mouth into it as I turned around not even paying attention to Draco as he stormed up to Buckbeak the wrong thing to do as he got on the wrong side buck break raise himself on his hind legs he accidently hit me instead of his intended target Malfoy I was sent to the ground I rubbed my head Hagrid ran over
Yeh okay? We need to get you to Madam Pomfrey
Hagrid no, no I'm fine it's just a scratch don't worry about it!
No yeh father will have a fit!
Hermione, Ron take her up
Class is done for the day!
They both took me up I sat for a bit and looked around waiting as madam Pomfrey wrapped my arm up into a sling it was sprained not a huge deal, my father and George storming in both asking at the exact same time
What happened
Hey! I said it first!
Stop that!
No! You stop that
Boys! Stop it I'm fine it's nothing!
No, it's not Scarlet what in the hell happened!
My father yelled he was mad I could tell he was but I didn't want to say it was because of Malfoy George sat beside me and kissed my cheek,
I read about hippogriffs and well I was brave and got Buckbeak to respect me and, well Draco decided to be an idiot and rush right up I hadn't noticed and buck beak stood up on his hind legs and it got knocked over and my arm sprained I'm fine dad really
Are you kidding me?!
George was mad and so was my father, I couldn't tell exactly who they were mad at Draco, or Buckbeak, but soon I came to learn they wouldn't kill buck beak, like I had thought George had walked me up to Charms Professor Flitwick looked at my arm and sighed I chuckled, George left with a kiss on my cheek and headed to his last class well I stayed at charms professor Flitwick looked at me again after George had left
What are we going to with you maybe were both walking disasters waiting to happen
I think so professor I don't seem to have much luck right now!
Yes today we are doing the water-making spell easy for you Miss Snape, you know how to do non-verbal spells so you may do it that was as your arm is out of commission
Thank you, professor
anytime Miss Snape
Students began to pile into the charms classroom I chuckled to myself I spent an hour creating tons of water, using Aguamenti the water making spell soon class was ending I made my way to the Great hall to eat dinner smiling at everyone and looking around George was already there I laughed to myself as I ate dinner looking down my arm still hurt so it was hard to eat dinner I looked around and left as soon as most were done eating making my way to the common room I came to the painting of Salazar Slytherin the painting into our common room in the dungeons,
Pure-Blood
You may enter
The painting flung open as I walked through t common room was nice and warm I had headed straight to the girls dormitory getting my robes off I switched into my warm pj's as of course, no one lit the fire in the girls dormitory it was ice cold i looked at the fireplace in my the dormitory and smiled
Incendio
It lit up immediately I was glad it was near my bed everything lit up and the room started to become warm so I decided to get into bed a prepared to start a new day.
