Chapter 7
Slytherin all took their seats silently before they started to fill their plates or pass dishes around; they were usually the better behaved table at first glance. This meant that one ought to look deeper; Severus knew this by first-hand experience.
At 7:45, Severus appeared with their class schedules and began to hand them out.
The First Years’ first class was potions with Severus, and then they had a free period before double Defence Quirrell and Double Herbology with Pomona.
Half of Harry’s Defence class would take place before lunch and the rest would be after lunch...
Harry’s hands were no doubt twisting his robes nervously as Slytherin headed back down into the dungeons to find Severus’ classroom.
Severus was certain that Harry would remember where it was since he’d come with himself and Remus to help them move into their offices last week.
Remus had a classroom on the first floor as well as an office, so it was up to Severus to make sure that Sera, Nemia, Teddy and Fili got off to Number Four before they were expected in their classrooms respectively.
Remus might be the stricter disciplinarian in their family but Severus was the one who expected them to do excellent in their studies.
They weren’t so much as bribed to do well but if they all did, then the entire family got to go somewhere nice like to their property in France or someplace like that.
XooooooX
Half of the very large classroom was set up for lecture and a sharp jerk of Severus’ head sent Harry and Dudley’s groups to sit there...
Dudley was sitting between Greg and Vince on one side of the classroom while Draco, Harry, Theo and Blaise sat on the other. Millie had taken the last seat in the front row, so that left Neville, Dean and Seamus to sit behind them.
While Pansy, Tracey, Elaine and Daphne chose to sit behind Harry’s group...
Severus strode up to the front of the classroom with his bland black brewing robes billowing behind him like great black wings and cleared his throat, “My name is Professor Severus Prince; I am a Potions Master, First Class and the new Potions Professor of Hogwarts.”
Then immediately Severus began taking roll, barely catching Harry’s eye when he called his name.
“Mr. Black-Tonks what is the difference between Aconite and Monkshood?” Severus asked after putting the list of students in their class aside.
Dudley smirked, “Mother says they are the same plant professor. She gets irritated when they switch names for the ingredient in the same recipe.”
Severus’ mouth twitched just a little.
“That is an irritant; given your mother’s status as a First Class, Potions Mistress I am not surprised that you would have overheard her mention that.” Then Severus turned his attention to Theo, “Where would you look for a bezoar if I said to fetch one Mr. Nott?”
Theo snorted, “They are a stone from the stomach of a goat sir. However, if I were to look for one I would search your ingredients cupboard; I doubt a Potions Master of your skill would allow his cupboard to lack anything...”
Theo needed to cure himself of his obvious attempt to flatter, “Also correct, Mr. Potter what potion uses wormwood and Asphodel?”
Harry frowned, “Isn’t that a powerful sleeping potion? I remember you got upset with Sera for attempting it last year...”
Severus groaned, “Wormwood and Asphodel are primary ingredients in the Draught of Living Death which is the most powerful sleeping potion seeing as how it nearly mimics death. Who can tell me if there is a counter and what it is called?”
Immediately Draco, Theo and surprisingly Dudley put their hands up.
Severus smirked, “Mr. Malfoy?”
Draco’s immediate response was to preen, “The Counter Potion to the Draught of Living Death is called the Wiggenweld Potion.”
Then a scowl crossed Severus’ features, “Why are only those who graduated from Basillius Malfoy’s School for Gifted Children taking notes? Do you think I ask questions for my own amusement?”
Harry didn’t look up or even giggle, Severus had a habit of asking questions but he didn’t like getting snarky dismissive answers like Fili tended to give. He tended to ask thought-provoking questions that didn’t require a response...
“You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potionmaking,” Severus said in a quiet but firm parental voice that had everyone’s attention. “All instructions must be followed exactly as written in your text unless you have access to a different receipt otherwise it will be far more disastrous then a mere miscast spell.”
Perhaps it was his over ten years as a parent that had honed Severus’ gift of keeping a class silent without effort that exceeded his children’s teachers at Number Four.
“Since you will have little need for a wand in this class, a number of you will doubt that this is magic. As mere children, I don’t expect that a majority of you will ever come to understand the beauty of a gently simmering cauldron with its shimmering scents. The delicate power of liquids that can creep through human veins, bewitch the mind and ensnare senses. For those who wish to learn, I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even stopper death. There are some who I can tell may go far in these field while others will be glad to be done with it come their Sixth Year.”
So their lecture continued with Harry, Dudley and their friends taking copious notes so not to earn the ire of their Potions professor, Severus...
XooooooX
Coraline and Hermione trooped in along with the rest of their Ravenclaw yearmates and taking over the front of the classroom while leaving the back for the Hufflepuffs.
When the bell rang signifying the start of the class, Severus immediately began taking roll.
Pausing when it came to Coraline’s name, “Miss Lupin, I do hope for all our sakes that you take after your mother when it comes to brewing.”
Coraline swallowed, “Yes pa...I mean professor...”
Then he paused once again, “Ah Mr. Weasley, your brothers according to Horace have done quite well in this class. Apparently George has a gift for brewing, will you take after them in skill I wonder...”
Hermione peaked over her shoulder to see Ron scowling.
“I have a sister too...” Zacharias snorted.
“Zacharias Smith, the son of my closest rival when it comes to brewing. Sadly, I have little expectation of you doing well in this class.” Severus said gruffly.
Severus knew because of Remus’ friendship with Damocles that Zacharias was Damocles’ son but they preferred his half sisters Deborah, Salma, Addi and Carys, as well as his half brother Thaddeus...
However, Zacharias was nothing like the rest of his family...
After roll was taken, Severus began to speak in that low voice that he used when he was lecturing Sera or Teddy.
“You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potionmaking,” Severus said in a quiet but firm parental voice that had everyone’s attention. “All instructions must be followed exactly as written in your text unless you have access to a different receipt otherwise it will be far more disastrous then a mere miscast spell.”
“Since you will have little need for a wand in this class, a number of you will doubt that this is magic. As mere children, I don’t expect that a majority of you will ever come to understand the beauty of a gently simmering cauldron with its shimmering scents. The delicate power of liquids that can creep through human veins, bewitch the mind and ensnare senses. For those who wish to learn, I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even stopper death. There are perhaps a few of you that may go far in these field while others will be glad to be done with it come their Sixth Year.”
Coraline and her friends were studiously were taking notes, like the good Ravenclaws that they were when her papa stopped talking.
Coraline frowned looking up just in time for him to snap.
“I see that you three wish to increase your House’s negative points.” Severus glowered at three brats in the last row.
All of the students spun around to glare at Ron, Zach and Ernie...
“Since you three need to focus on potions I will expect you to report to this classroom at 6 tonight.” Severus’ expression darkened, “You will be cleaning up after my son Teddy’s Potions lesson.”
Coraline snorted, she knew of course that Teddy had no patience and usually resorted to tossing random ingredients into a cauldron despite both Sera and Severus’ lectures and warnings.
Hermione and Coraline glanced around and realised that they’d totally been oblivious to Ron, Zach and Ernie’s had been throwing scraps of parchment at them...
This time Severus had witnessed Zacharias and Ernie’s bullying for himself...
Once they were ‘caught’ and sentenced to detention Zach, Ron and Ernie had settled back in affronted silence.
Which wasn’t that much of a surprise, to Severus’ knowledge Zach and Ernie had never felt the slightest bit of guilt when it came to bullying; it seemed that Ron was cut out of the same cloth.
What a sad turn of events...

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
