Chapter 14: Potion class.

The door was slammed open with a loud noise, and a figure with long black robes entered the class. "You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of making potions. There won't be any silly wand-waving in my class," Snape said with a blank face.

"He looks exactly like a typical villain, no wonder Harry always suspected him," I thought. Then he continued with his introduction. "Potter, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Snape suddenly questioned Harry. In the whole class, Hermione was the only one who raised her hand.

When Harry didn't answer the question, Snape grinned his teeth and looked at Harry mockingly. "You don't know? You don't know? That's basic potion-making knowledge, Potter! Clearly fame isn't everything, is it?" The Slytherins were laughing mockingly at Harry. When he pointed at Hermione, she answered it with a proud expression.

"Stefan, did you really not know the answer?" Ron asked me with a raised brow. "I know the answer," I replied with a blank face. "Then why didn't you help me?" Harry asked with a sad expression, thinking how Snape literally berated Harry without any mercy.

"It will be pointless. You see, he likes to bully students from other houses and take points from the house, especially Gryffindor," I said with a sigh.

The class continued. Professor Snape explained the theoretical part of potion-making, safety precautions, about the 12 uses of dragon blood, how to use Bezoar, how to find it, different types of cauldrons and bottles, and how they interfere with the potions, and standard ingredients for brewing potions.

During the class, Professor Snape asked questions here and there and also deducted points, especially from Harry and Neville. He looked at them with eyes of terror and a grin like 'I found the treasures full of points.' He started to squeeze points from both of them.

"Mr. Grindelwald, who wrote Magical Draughts and Potions?" Snape asked me. "Arsenius Jigger," I answered him with a calm face. He left my table with a sneer after the class ended.

"I can't believe he actually targeted Gryffindor. It's not fair," Ron said angrily. Harry and Ron nodded with a serious face. Suddenly, I got struck with an idea with an evil grin. "Well, you guys see, he likes to look at the back of the students, especially boys," I said with a serious face.

"Hey, that can't be true," Ron said with a disgusted face and thought about when Snape stands behind him, a chill runs down his back. When Harry turned back, he saw Snape standing behind a Hufflepuff student who was speaking with his friends. He gulped the words he was going to say to me.

Suddenly, I felt my senses are alerting me. I moved from my place, and a charm hit Ron, who was in front of me and made him wear women's clothes with dancing legs. When I looked behind, I saw the twins laughing behind the armor. They came out. "Gorge, he escaped our prank at the last moment," Fred said with an exciting look. "Fred, it was worth it. Look at our mom's little prince," George said with a satisfied look.

"You guys are Ron's brothers, right?" I asked them with red eyes from laughing.

"Yes, we heard your conversation at lunch in the Great Hall. We felt like somehow we could be friends. Are you really going on a night tour tonight?" they both asked me excitedly, looking at me with stars in their eyes.

"Yes, I am planning to go tonight," I said with a proud look. The twins and I planned to meet at midnight in the common room, where they said they would show me something interesting. As we were discussing, Ron interrupted us, "Fred, George, is it true that Professor Snape likes to stare at the back of male students?" he asked with a serious face.

Fred and George were dumbfounded, looking at Harry and Neville seriously for their answer. They both looked at me, and I wrinkled my nose at them with an evil grin. They both started to look at me with fake tears, "Our intuition was not wrong. You are one of us." They both exaggerated the story, making all three of their faces turn green.

"Hey, Steven, what were you doing at the library earlier?" George asked me, and Fred nodded.

"I was practicing the Disillusionment Charm," I told them.

"What, by any chance, can you use it for?" they both asked me at the same time.

"Yes," I answered, flicking my hair with a proud look.

We went to the common room where Harry and Ron were playing wizard chess, and Neville was practicing the Disillusionment Charm because he had finished his assignment given by Snape. Harry lost five games of wizarding chess straight, and Seamus took his place and continued to play the game.

Harry noticed Neville practicing spells, "Neville, are you practicing charms today that Professor Snape taught us?" Harry asked Neville curiously.

"No, it's a spell that Steven taught me at the library. It's an invisibility spell called the Disillusionment Charm," Neville answered, pointing at me. None of us noticed this exchange falling in the ears of Hermione.
