Hagrid took Brenda back to her "home" and handed her a ticket that said platform 9 3/4
" Stick to that ticket Brenda" Hagrid said before he left with a pop
Two weeks later, Brenda was at the King's Cross Station and she was looking for platform 9 ¾. She was getting scared because she couldn't find her platform
After about five minutes of searching she was becoming frantic, because the train would leave at 11:00 and it was 10:50. Finally she heard somebody talking about muggles and she heard Hagrid say something about muggles during their trip to Diagon Alley so she followed them. It looked like a black haired boy had the same idea as her
" Excuse me, Excuse me, can you tell me how to" Harry was lost for words
" Get on the platform deary?" Mrs. Weasley asked
Harry nodded
" It's really easy, all you have to do is walk straight through the wall between nine and ten. Best do it at a run if you're nervous" Mrs. Weasley said
Harry listened to the plump woman and walked straight through
" Wow" Brenda said walking up to the group of redheads
" Is he your friend?" The woman asked Brenda
" No, he just had the same idea I did" Brenda said
" Well you may go ahead of us as well" Mrs. Weasley said with a smile
" Are you sure?" Brenda asked nervously
" Yes" Mrs. Weasley said
So just walk straight through?" Brenda asked
Mrs. Weasley nodded
Brenda took a deep breath, closed her eyes and walked straight through and found platform 9 3/4
" Wow" Brenda said as she took her stuff off the cart and got on the train, " I'm going to Hogwarts"
Brenda found an empty compartment and sat by herself and then the boy who asked the woman first poked his head in
" Mind if I sit down?" Harry asked shyly
" Not at all" Brenda said as she smiled
Harry sat down
" I'm Harry Potter" Harry said
" Brenda Williamson" Brenda said shaking his hand, " It's nice to meet you"
" That's weird" Harry said
" What is?" Brenda asked confused
" You've been the first person I've met in the wizarding world who wasn't aw struck by my name" Harry said
" Are you famous or something?" Brenda asked confused
" I think I am, but I don't remember doing anything, I think whatever I did I did as a baby" Harry said
" That's strange" Brenda said
All of a sudden a red head poked his head in
" Can I sit with you guys? Everywhere else is full" Ron asked
" Yah sure" The two said together
The red head smiled as he sat down
" I'm Ron by the way, Ron Weasley" Ron said smiling
" I'm Brenda Williamson" Brenda said
" I'm Harry Potter" Harry said
Ron was in aw
" You are... do you have that... that scar? Ron asked a little embarrassed
Harry showed his scar and chuckled and Brenda was surprised, his scar was in the exact same place as her scar was, but his was a lightning bolt while hers was a star
The three began talking about stuff, mostly Ron because he knew the Wizarding world unlike Harry and Brenda. Harry bought the three of them a bunch of wizard candy from the trolley when it came around and then a girl named Hermione showed up looking for a toad that a boy named Neville lost. She saw that Ron was trying to do magic but it didn't work and then Hermione demonstrated by fixing Harry's glasses. Then she told the three to get into their robes since they would be arriving soon and then she left
After a while they made it to Hogsmeade and got off the train and heard Hagrid calling for the first years
" Hi Hagrid" Both Harry and Brenda said at the same time
" Hello you two" Hagrid said smiling
The first years all got in boats that was taking them up to the castle which was to be their home for nine months. Everybody was in aw at how magnificent the castle looked. They were lead up to the Great Hall but was stopped by a witch Professor McGonnagall who told them that they will begin the feast shortly but before they must be settled into their houses of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. She talked some more about the houses and then left to get permission to bring in the first years
" It's true then, The Potters have returned" Malfoy said
A lot of the first years started talking about the Potters
Malfoy went up to Harry
" This is Crabbe and Goyle and I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" Malfoy said with a sneer
Ron tried stifling a laugh but failed
" Think my names funny do you? No need to ask yours, red hair and a hand me down robe... you must be a Weasley" Malfoy said to Ron
Malfoy turned back to Harry
" You best be careful, you don't want to hang out with the wrong sort, I can help you and your sister there" Malfoy said as he stuck out his hand for a shake
Harry looked down at the hand and then back at Malfoy and said, " I can make out the wrong sort for my self thanks and I do not have a sister"
Malfoy didn't know what to say to that he was shocked that Harry Potter didn't take his hand, and he was shocked that Harry Potter said he didn't have a sister, he was sure the red headed girl was Brenda Potter and didn't have time for a comeback when McGonagall tapped him on the shoulder and told everybody that they were ready
Everybody followed McGonagall into the Great Hall and everybody was looking up at the ceiling that looked like the night sky. Brenda could hear Hermione telling somebody that it's not the real sky but magic that she read about in Hogwarts A History
Brenda rolled her eyes when she thought that Hermione would be snobby because she's smart
The first years stood in the middle of the Great Hall and waited until they were told what to do next. McGonagall told them what will happen and then the sorting hat started to say a rhyme and then the ceremony began with the sorting hat placement. There were a lot of Gryffindors Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws and Slytherins and before the hat could be put on Malfoy's head the hat screamed Slytherin
" Well that's a bad sign" Brenda whispered so only Harry and Ron could hear
Hermione got Gryffindor, so did Ron. It took a while for Harry to be placed also in Gryffindor and then it was Brenda's turn
" Brenda Potter" McGonagall called
There were whispers about Brenda Potter and people were also looking at Harry
Nobody moved
" Brenda Potter" McGonagall called again, " Oh I'm sorry... Brenda Williamson"
Brenda went up to be sorted
Hmm, Brenda Williamson… Plenty of courage I see, and very smart, yes, yes, you have ambition, I see qualities from all four houses, but where to put you, you are as difficult as your brother… Oh I see, you do not have a brother… hmm, well, I feel the best place to put you is in… GRYFFINDOR. Brenda smiled when she got off the stool and headed over to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Ron, she was going to be with her two friends
After a while the ceremony was over and the headmaster made a few announcements and then the feast began
Brenda was quiet throughout the whole meal, she was wondering why McGonagall messed up her last name, Potter and Williamson don't even look the same. The sorting hat thought she had a brother, she thought the sorting hat knew everything… Then she wondered why the bar tender said Brenda Potter.
" This night is really confusing" Brenda thought
After the feast the first years were led by the prefects to the Common Rooms and they learned the password which was Caput Draconus and learned where the rooms are and that all their stuff is up in their rooms
After a while professor McGonagall came up into the Common Room
" Mr. Potter, Ms. Williamson, I need to speak with you... alone" McGonagall said giving a few students the idea and they left
" Yes professor?" Brenda asked
" You might want to sit down when I tell you this" McGonagall said
The two first years gave each other worried looks and they sat down
" Ok... Harry you know most of what I'm going to say, what I don't say you can fill her in" McGonagall said
" Ok" Harry said still confused
" Ok, here it goes, Ms. Williamson I know you're wondering why I called for Brenda Potter" McGonagall said
" Yes, why does everybody call me Brenda Potter?" Brenda asked
" Do you know Brenda that you were adopted?" McGonagall asked
Brenda's eyes were wide but she shook her head no
" It's true, you were adopted by the Williamsons" McGonagall said
" Then if I was adopted, then who are my real parents?" Brenda asked
McGonnagall looked at both of the kids and said, " Lily and James Potter"
The two kids were quiet for a while and aw struck
" But that would mean that" Harry started looking at Brenda
" We... we're siblings" Brenda finished
" Yes" McGonagall said, " You both are famous in this world for your defeat in the most feared wizard "
" Who's that" Brenda asked
" We don't say his name" McGonagall said
" So is that why we both have scars on our foreheads? Because we defeated the most horrible wizard?" Brenda asked
" Yes" McGonagall said
" You have one too" Harry asked his new found sister
Brenda lifted up her bangs and showed a star shaped scar in the same place as his lightning bolt one
McGonagall continued talking, " On the night of your parents death and the fall of you know who, we had to separate you both for your own safety, so Harry, you went to the Dursleys and Brenda, you went to the Williamsons, so now you both know the truth, Brenda I have one question for you, what do you want to go by... William-"
" Potter" Brenda interrupted, " I want to go by Brenda Potter, I didn't like my family and they didn't like me, I was mostly raised by my strict nanny. I only saw my parents once a week if I was lucky and I don't really remember them since they died in a car crash when I was 6, I want to go by Brenda Potter"
" Very well then" McGonagall said, "I will let the rest of the staff know, I will let you two have some time alone, I know you have a lot of catching up to do
The professor left leaving the two first years by themselves looking at each other
" The guy who we defeated is Voldemort, nobody likes saying his first name" Harry said
" Yah I guess not, I asked Ollivander about Voldemort when I was getting my wand, he said my wand is like Voldemort's, only three -
" Phoenix feathers?" Harry asked
" Yes" Brenda said curious and took her wand out, " My wand is Oak, 10 inches with a phoenix feather and mermaid scale core"
Harry took out his wand and said, " Mine also has a Phoenix feather" Holly, 11 inches with a phoenix feather core"
Both their eyes were wide
" Maybe it's a twin thing" Brenda said
" Twin thing?" Harry asked
" Harry, we're twins, not identical like those Weasleys but twins as in born at the same time" Brenda said
" I haven't even thought about that" Harry said
Brenda started to chuckle, " Well we saw how Ron reacted when he met just you, lets see how he reacts when he meets both of us"
Harry chuckled," I'll get him"
Harry left and came back down with all the first year boys and Fred and George
" That's not just Ron" Brenda said lifting an eyebrow
" I know, they followed me" Harry said and chuckled a bit
" What's going on?" Ron asked confused
" Lets just say I found my long lost sister" Harry said
Everybody was in aw, the Weasley twins started cheering, not only did they get Harry Potter, but Gryffindor also got Brenda Potter, they got the set
For 30 minutes Harry and Brenda were signing autographs and the girls heard all the commotion and came down and figured it out. The autographs stopped when McGonagall told them to stop and for everybody to get to bed because they had school tomorrow
The next day Brenda was happy she figured out who and what she is and that she has a family even if it's only a twin brother
Brenda got out of bed and got dressed and went down to the Great Hall for breakfast and met Hermione down there
" Hi... Hermione Granger is it" Brenda asked
" Yes, and you're Brenda Potter, there was a lot of talk about you last night" Hermione said
" Yes I know, last night I just found out who I was, it was pretty overwhelming... so what are you reading?" Brenda asked
" Hogwarts A History" Hermione said
" I read that book a few days ago"
" You like reading?" Hermione asked interested
" Yes, I mostly like books on Potions and Dfense Against the Dark Arts books, mostly written by Gildaroy Lockheart" Brenda said
" Yes he is dreamy" Hermione said
Brenda smiled and finished her breakfast
The first class of the day was Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall. She began teaching right away and told her students that she was an animagas and she proved it by turning into a cat. There were many oohs and aws and she told everybody to take notes written on the board. When Harry and Ron finally got to the class room it was quiet
" We made it... could you imagine the look on McGonagall's face if she caught us?" Ron asked Harry
Hermione and Brenda looked up at the two boys
" They're in trouble" Brenda thought to herself
All of a sudden the cat on the desk jumped down and transformed into Professor McGonagall. She went up to the two boys who were scared and amazed. Ron tried getting out of trouble
" That was bloody brilliant" Ron said
" Thank you Mr. Weasley for that compliment, Now maybe I should turn you and Mr. Potter into a pocket watch, that way at least one of you might be on time" McGonagall said in a harsh tone
" We got lost" Harry said
" Then perhaps a map, I trust you don't need one to find your seats" McGonagall said as she took her seat behind her desk and watched as the two boys took their seats
Finally the class was over, the first years all got out of the class room and Brenda went up to her brother and Ron
" So what took you so long? You said you got lost, but I didn't even see you guys at breakfast" Brenda said
" We also slept late" Harry said
Brenda gave them a look
" Yah we had a party in the common room to celebrate you guys" Ron said
" So that was the noise I heard last night" Brenda said
" Yah, hey it was a fun party" Harry said
" But McGonagall told everybody to get to bed" Brenda said
" Fred and George made sure that McGonagall wasn't going to be back and that's when the party started" Ron said
Brenda chuckled and rolled her eyes, " So did you two learn your lesson?"
" Yes, make sure you have an alarm clock after a party" Harry said
" What's an alarm clock" Ron asked
" It's a muggle invention" Both Harry and Brenda said
" Fred and George do that too" Ron said
" Do what?" The twins asked
" That, saying the same thing at the same time" Ron said
Brenda and Harry looked at each other and smiled and the three of them went to lunch
After lunch their next class was Charms with Professor Flitwick
" Ok class today we are going to learn the floating spell, so everybody take out your wands and repeat after me...WINDGADRIUM LEVIOSA" Flitwick said
Everybody tried it on a feather. Ron was trying to say it but he was getting frustrated and Hermione was trying to help him out
" No no no you're going to poke somebody's eye out with that thing, it's LEVIOSA not LEVIOSA" Hermione said
" Well lets see you do it, go on lets see" Ron said
Hermione rolled her eyes and Brenda saw the whole thing and at the same time the girls said the spell
" WINDGADRIUM LEVIOSA" Both Hermione and Brenda said and everybody was watching them
" Well done ladies well done... 20 points for Gryffindor" Flitwick said
The girls smiled at each other
At Harry's table a boy named Seamus Finnigin tried the spell and all that happened to his feather was that it exploded
" I think we need another feather here professor" Harry said who was sadly sitting next to Seamus Finnigin
After a few more hours the class was dismissed and it was time for supper
" So what do we have tomorrow" Harry asked
" Potions and flying lessons" Brenda said with eagerness
" Potions? That's with Professor Snape, Fred and George told me all about him, he's the head of the Slytherin house, he likes to favor them and he really doesn't like Gryffindors" Ron said
The two Potters groaned
" Percy told me that he's after Quirrel's job... Defense against the Dark Arts" Harry said
" Yah George told me that too" Ron said
" Well, we'll just have to stay on Snape's good side then won't we?" Brenda asked
That night Brenda read her potions book all the way to the end
" This is so interesting" Brenda thought to herself, she didn't want to stop reading
The next day she was excited about potions, this is something she was looking forward of doing, brewing potions, she was excited when she read of all the different kinds of potions. She hurried down to the Great Hall and waited for her brother, Hermione and Ron to get down and they all had breakfast together
" Why are you in such a rush Brenda" Ron asked
" Potions, I've been wanting to do potions since I found out I'm a witch" Brenda said
" Wow we must be different, I've been dreading potions" Harry said
" No you're just afraid of Snape" Brenda said
" Can you blame him? you've seen what Snape looks like" Ron said
" Looks can be deceiving" Brenda said
" We'll see" Ron said
" So where's Hermione, I haven't seen her since Charms" Brenda said
" I think Ron made her upset, he was making fun of her on the way here yesterday" Harry said
" Ron she was only trying to help" Brenda scolded
" She was being a know it all... Kind of like you" Ron said before he could stop himself
Brenda's eyes went wide and her mouth fell and Harry glared at Ron
" I don't have to listen to this... I'll see you guys in Potions" Brenda said as she left the table and headed towards Potions
" I'm sorry Harry, it just slipped" Ron said
" Don't apologias to me, apologias to my sister" Harry said with a glare
" Ok, after Potions I will apologias" Ron said as he went back to his breakfast
Finally it was time for Potions and everybody was talking when they were in the class room, until the professor entered
" I do not want any wand waving in this class" Snape said
The Potters were the only ones taking notes
" Some of you might not think this is magic at all. I don't believe you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with it's shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death... some of you might think it wise to... NOT PAY ATTENTION
The Potters looked up from their notes
" Ah the Potters, our new celebrities... Tell me Mr. Potter what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Snape asked
Hermione raised her hand and Brenda just sat there thinking of the answer in her head
" I don't know sir" Harry whispered
Snape sneered and said, " Lets try again, Mr. Potter where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar?"
Hermione's hand shot straight up
" I don't know sir" Harry said
" Ok lets try one more time, Mr. Potter what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?
Hermione's hand shot straight up again
" Put your hand down you silly girl" Snape commanded Hermione
Hermione slowly put her hand down
" Well Mr. Potter?" Snape asked
" I don't know sir" Harry whispered
" Pitty, clearly fame isn't everything is it?" Snape asked then he turned to Brenda, " Ms. Potter what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
Brenda smiled, "Sir, if you mix those two ingredients together you get a very powerful sleeping potion known as the Draught of Living Death. And where would I look if you told me to find you a bezoar? I would look inside the belly of a goat for the stone. And Monkshood and Wolfsbane are the same plant which also goes by the name of aconite. And with no disrespect professor, Harry and I were just taking notes of every thing you were saying since you came in the class room, you can check my parchment if you wish"
Snape checked her parchment and he knew there was no way that he could deduct points from Gryffindor, the Potters were doing what they were supposed to be doing. Snape glared at Brenda and then looked at the class, " Very well, I want you all to take notes for the rest of the hour while I lecture on the importants of potion making"
" Stick to that ticket Brenda" Hagrid said before he left with a pop
Two weeks later, Brenda was at the King's Cross Station and she was looking for platform 9 ¾. She was getting scared because she couldn't find her platform
After about five minutes of searching she was becoming frantic, because the train would leave at 11:00 and it was 10:50.

" Is he your friend?" The woman asked Brenda
" No, he just had the same idea I did" Brenda said

" Are you sure?" Brenda asked nervously
" Yes" Mrs. Weasley said
So just walk straight through?" Brenda asked
Mrs. Weasley nodded
Brenda took a deep breath, closed her eyes and walked straight through and found platform 9 3/4
" Wow" Brenda said as she took her stuff off the cart and got on the train, " I'm going to Hogwarts"
Brenda found an empty compartment and sat by herself and then the boy who asked the woman first poked his head in

" I'm Harry Potter" Harry said
" Brenda Williamson" Brenda said shaking his hand, " It's nice to meet you"
" That's weird" Harry said
" What is?" Brenda asked confused
" You've been the first person I've met in the wizarding world who wasn't aw struck by my name" Harry said
" Are you famous or something?" Brenda asked confused
" I think I am, but I don't remember doing anything, I think whatever I did I did as a baby" Harry said

All of a sudden a red head poked his head in

" Yes, why does everybody call me Brenda Potter?" Brenda asked
" Do you know Brenda that you were adopted?" McGonagall asked
Brenda's eyes were wide but she shook her head no
" It's true, you were adopted by the Williamsons" McGonagall said
" Then if I was adopted, then who are my real parents?" Brenda asked
McGonnagall looked at both of the kids and said, " Lily and James Potter"
The two kids were quiet for a while and aw struck
" But that would mean that" Harry started looking at Brenda
" We... we're siblings" Brenda finished
" Yes" McGonagall said, " You both are famous in this world for your defeat in the most feared wizard "
" Who's that" Brenda asked
" We don't say his name" McGonagall said
" So is that why we both have scars on our foreheads? Because we defeated the most horrible wizard?" Brenda asked
" Yes" McGonagall said

" I haven't even thought about that" Harry said
Brenda started to chuckle, " Well we saw how Ron reacted when he met just you, lets see how he reacts when he meets both of us"
Harry chuckled," I'll get him"
Harry left and came back down with all the first year boys and Fred and George
" That's not just Ron" Brenda said lifting an eyebrow
" I know, they followed me" Harry said and chuckled a bit
" What's going on?" Ron asked confused
" Lets just say I found my long lost sister" Harry said
Everybody was in aw, the Weasley twins started cheering, not only did they get Harry Potter, but Gryffindor also got Brenda Potter, they got the set
For 30 minutes Harry and Brenda were signing autographs and the girls heard all the commotion and came down and figured it out. The autographs stopped when McGonagall told them to stop and for everybody to get to bed because they had school tomorrow
The next day Brenda was happy she figured out who and what she is and that she has a family even if it's only a twin brother

" Yes, I mostly like books on Potions and Dfense Against the Dark Arts books, mostly written by Gildaroy Lockheart" Brenda said
" Yes he is dreamy" Hermione said
Brenda smiled and finished her breakfast
The first class of the day was Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall. She began teaching right away and told her students that she was an animagas and she proved it by turning into a cat. There were many oohs and aws and she told everybody to take notes written on the board. When Harry and Ron finally got to the class room it was quiet
" We made it... could you imagine the look on McGonagall's face if she caught us?" Ron asked Harry
Hermione and Brenda looked up at the two boys
" They're in trouble" Brenda thought to herself
All of a sudden the cat on the desk jumped down and transformed into Professor McGonagall. She went up to the two boys who were scared and amazed. Ron tried getting out of trouble
" That was bloody brilliant" Ron said
" Thank you Mr. Weasley for that compliment, Now maybe I should turn you and Mr. Potter into a pocket watch, that way at least one of you might be on time" McGonagall said in a harsh tone
" We got lost" Harry said
" Then perhaps a map, I trust you don't need one to find your seats" McGonagall said as she took her seat behind her desk and watched as the two boys took their seats
Finally the class was over, the first years all got out of the class room and Brenda went up to her brother and Ron
" So what took you so long? You said you got lost, but I didn't even see you guys at breakfast" Brenda said
" We also slept late" Harry said
Brenda gave them a look
" Yah we had a party in the common room to celebrate you guys" Ron said
" So that was the noise I heard last night" Brenda said
" Yah, hey it was a fun party" Harry said
" But McGonagall told everybody to get to bed" Brenda said
" Fred and George made sure that McGonagall wasn't going to be back and that's when the party started" Ron said
Brenda chuckled and rolled her eyes, " So did you two learn your lesson?"
" Yes, make sure you have an alarm clock after a party" Harry said
" What's an alarm clock" Ron asked
" It's a muggle invention" Both Harry and Brenda said
" Fred and George do that too" Ron said
" Do what?" The twins asked
" That, saying the same thing at the same time" Ron said
Brenda and Harry looked at each other and smiled and the three of them went to lunch
After lunch their next class was Charms with Professor Flitwick
" Ok class today we are going to learn the floating spell, so everybody take out your wands and repeat after me...WINDGADRIUM LEVIOSA" Flitwick said
Everybody tried it on a feather. Ron was trying to say it but he was getting frustrated and Hermione was trying to help him out
" No no no you're going to poke somebody's eye out with that thing, it's LEVIOSA not LEVIOSA" Hermione said
" Well lets see you do it, go on lets see" Ron said
Hermione rolled her eyes and Brenda saw the whole thing and at the same time the girls said the spell
" WINDGADRIUM LEVIOSA" Both Hermione and Brenda said and everybody was watching them
" Well done ladies well done... 20 points for Gryffindor" Flitwick said
The girls smiled at each other
At Harry's table a boy named Seamus Finnigin tried the spell and all that happened to his feather was that it exploded
" I think we need another feather here professor" Harry said who was sadly sitting next to Seamus Finnigin
After a few more hours the class was dismissed and it was time for supper
" So what do we have tomorrow" Harry asked
" Potions and flying lessons" Brenda said with eagerness
" Potions? That's with Professor Snape, Fred and George told me all about him, he's the head of the Slytherin house, he likes to favor them and he really doesn't like Gryffindors" Ron said
The two Potters groaned
" Percy told me that he's after Quirrel's job... Defense against the Dark Arts" Harry said
" Yah George told me that too" Ron said
" Well, we'll just have to stay on Snape's good side then won't we?" Brenda asked
That night Brenda read her potions book all the way to the end
" This is so interesting" Brenda thought to herself, she didn't want to stop reading
The next day she was excited about potions, this is something she was looking forward of doing, brewing potions, she was excited when she read of all the different kinds of potions. She hurried down to the Great Hall and waited for her brother, Hermione and Ron to get down and they all had breakfast together
" Why are you in such a rush Brenda" Ron asked
" Potions, I've been wanting to do potions since I found out I'm a witch" Brenda said
" Wow we must be different, I've been dreading potions" Harry said
" No you're just afraid of Snape" Brenda said
" Can you blame him? you've seen what Snape looks like" Ron said
" Looks can be deceiving" Brenda said
" We'll see" Ron said
" So where's Hermione, I haven't seen her since Charms" Brenda said
" I think Ron made her upset, he was making fun of her on the way here yesterday" Harry said
" Ron she was only trying to help" Brenda scolded
" She was being a know it all... Kind of like you" Ron said before he could stop himself
Brenda's eyes went wide and her mouth fell and Harry glared at Ron
" I don't have to listen to this... I'll see you guys in Potions" Brenda said as she left the table and headed towards Potions
" I'm sorry Harry, it just slipped" Ron said
" Don't apologias to me, apologias to my sister" Harry said with a glare
" Ok, after Potions I will apologias" Ron said as he went back to his breakfast
Finally it was time for Potions and everybody was talking when they were in the class room, until the professor entered
" I do not want any wand waving in this class" Snape said
The Potters were the only ones taking notes
" Some of you might not think this is magic at all. I don't believe you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with it's shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death... some of you might think it wise to... NOT PAY ATTENTION
The Potters looked up from their notes
" Ah the Potters, our new celebrities... Tell me Mr. Potter what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Snape asked
Hermione raised her hand and Brenda just sat there thinking of the answer in her head
" I don't know sir" Harry whispered
Snape sneered and said, " Lets try again, Mr. Potter where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar?"
Hermione's hand shot straight up
" I don't know sir" Harry said
" Ok lets try one more time, Mr. Potter what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?
Hermione's hand shot straight up again
" Put your hand down you silly girl" Snape commanded Hermione
Hermione slowly put her hand down
" Well Mr. Potter?" Snape asked
" I don't know sir" Harry whispered
" Pitty, clearly fame isn't everything is it?" Snape asked then he turned to Brenda, " Ms. Potter what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
Brenda smiled, "Sir, if you mix those two ingredients together you get a very powerful sleeping potion known as the Draught of Living Death. And where would I look if you told me to find you a bezoar? I would look inside the belly of a goat for the stone. And Monkshood and Wolfsbane are the same plant which also goes by the name of aconite. And with no disrespect professor, Harry and I were just taking notes of every thing you were saying since you came in the class room, you can check my parchment if you wish"
Snape checked her parchment and he knew there was no way that he could deduct points from Gryffindor, the Potters were doing what they were supposed to be doing. Snape glared at Brenda and then looked at the class, " Very well, I want you all to take notes for the rest of the hour while I lecture on the importants of potion making"
