Chapter 5.
Elizabeth POV.
Why does everything have to be so complicated? It has been 2 days since I first met Malfoy and since then everything with my brother has been going downhill. Now my "magical" education is all going well my first Charms lesson went a little longer then thought but Professor Flitwick said it was a success. The same goes for my first Herbology and Defence against the Dark Arts class, even so that Mad-Eye guy is creepy. Today now was the day for my first Potions class and I am afraid honestly, Neville told me how that Snape guys act especially towards the people that aren't in Slytherin. I can just hope he isn't that bad towards me.
I reached the classroom in the dungeons and opened the door but no one was there, I looked around but no teacher.
Elizabeth :,,Huh? I must be early."
I took out my supplies from my shadow dimension and build it up. Cauldron, fire cup, mortar, scale and book. I finished building up my workstation and sat down, I grabbed my book about potions and started to read in it again.
I don't know how long I sat there until the door opened and Professor Snape came in.
Snape :,,Ah Miss Potter, you are here early."
Elizabeth :,,Good Afternoon Professor Snape."
Snape looked into my eyes for a few seconds before looking away and walking to the front of the classroom.
Snape :,,I will ask you some questions first just to see with what I am working here."
Elizabeth :,,Of course Sir."
Snape :,,Miss Potter. What would I get if I added powdered root of Asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
Elizabeth :,,You would get a sleeping draught so powerful it has earned the name Draught of the Living Dead."
Snape :,,Good. Where would you look if I told you to find me a Bezoar?"
Elizabeth :,,The stomach of a Goat Sir."
Snape :,,Elaborate, what is a Bezoar?"
Elizabeth :,,It is a small stone that will save you from most poisons.
Snape .,,I see that you have learned. Excellent. What is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?"
Elizabeth :,,They are the same plant Aconite."
Snape :,,Impressive. Now you are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion making. As there is little foolish wand waving here you will hardly believe this is magic. The first potion we will be working on is a simple cure for boils. The ingredients stand on the board collect them and then we will continue with the instructions."
I did as I was told but as I grabbed the phial with my false arm, my hands all of a sudden decided to clench into a fist breaking the phial.
Elizabeth :,,God damnit not again."
Snape :,,What was that?"
Professor Snape all of a sudden stood besides me looking at my hand and then at the ground.
Snape :,,Would you care to explain how this happened Miss Potter?"
Elizabeth :,,My false arm has been making problems since I came to Hogwarts and it only got worst over the last two days. Malfoy told me that it could be that the magic around here messes with my arm."
The Professor looks again at my metal arm and then turns around without looking me in the eyes.
Snape :,,Get another Phial then."
Later....
I just finished my cure for boils as Professor Snape walked up besides me again.
Snape :,,The color is fine just a few tones to light, anything else it seems fine."
Snape then pulled out his wand, flicking it over my cauldron before nodding.
Snape :,,This is an E quite good for your first potion Miss Potter."
Elizabeth :,,But when it is good why then a E?"
Snape :,,E stands for Exceeds Expectations."
Elizabeth :,,Oh"
Snape :,,By your reaction I guess nobody explained what our school ratings are?"
Elizabeth :,,Ahm yes Sir."
Snape :,,Well the highest rating you can get here is O for Outstanding, E is the second highest and as already said stands for Exceeds Expectations and then there is A for Acceptable. Those three are the passing marks. The not passing marks are P for Poor, D for Dreadful and T for Troll."
Elizabeth :,,Oh ok. So E is like a B, very good."
Snape looked at me for a second before again turning away.
Snape :,,Yes, now phial up your potion and bring it to me. Then clean your workplace."
I did as I was told and gave the phial to Snape.
Snape :,,Next week same time Miss Potter."
Elizabeth :,,Yes Professor Snape."
I left the classroom and began walking towards the ancient runes classroom. Now my first ancient runes lesson is in 2 days but I want to get my arm fixed now before something bad happens like accidently hitting someone with it.
Remus POV.
I was in Diagon Alley getting the gift I wanted to give to Elizabeth. I hope she likes it, well I only had the photo to go by to guess what she likes. Maybe I should buy some candy, right I will do that but which. A sugar quills those where Lilys favorite and Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans James favorite and some Cauldron Cakes. That sounds great together with my gift I hope I make a first good impression on my Goddaughter.
