Chapter 41: Potions

Nick didn't mind the schedule as it was perfectly reasonable and even gave them plenty of free time. Most of the other first years in Gryffindor bellyached about having potions with Slytherin first thing on their first day. "You know if you just focus on your potions you should be fine right?" Nick said loudly so everyone could hear him. "Everyone says Snape hates us Gryffindor's though!" Seamus Finnigan said upset. "Maybe he does , but if we don't give him a reason he can't exactly take off points can he?" Nick suggested and everyone looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding in agreement.-

"That said you might want to look out Harry , he's likely to pick on you a bit tomorrow unreasonably because you are famous." Nick said warningly. Harry looked aggrieved at being singled out but he nodded in understanding anyways. 'I wonder how pissed the big bad bat is going to be when Harry answers those questions of his.' Nick thought with a snicker as he suggested a study group to prepare for tomorrow and most of his housemates agreed. Nick of course made it fun since normal studying wouldn't work on Gryffindor's and played a game of twenty questions involving the potions book knowledge.-

A certain bushy haired girl almost ruined the game however by trying to answer every question until Nick put a stop to that by implementing a three question spacing rule. It didn't stop the girl from perfectly answering every fourth question after that but at least everyone else got a chance. It also kept her from getting the others as resentful at her for being an insufferable know it all. 'Honestly speaking she may have preferred Ravenclaw with how she thinks.' Nick thought while asking another tricky question involving aconite.-

"Tracy Davis , likewise." Tracy said and Daphne said quietly "Daphne Greengrass , likewise." and so Nick had firmly made acquaintances with the pair of Slytherin girls. Harry , Ron and Hermione ended up working together like in canon as a result , though Ron looked unbelievably conflicted when he saw Nick chatting with the two Slytherin girls peacefully. Soon enough the time for class came and Snape walked in with his black robes dragged behind him with a menacing look. He took rollcall but paused at Harry's name "Ah, yes." he said softly "Harry Potter. Our new celebrity." Malfoy and his minions snickered.
