THE POTION

The Crime:

It was the middle of spring of their 5th year and Ron, Hermione, and Harry were on their way to their Care for Magical Creatures lesson. Harry would've been in a good mood if it hadn't been for Malfoy, Umbridge and the rest of the Slytherins in the Inquisitorial Squad. They had been taking off so many points from Gryffindor, that they no longer had any chance of winning the house cup! But that was the last of Harry's worries! They had O.W.L's coming up and weird dreams to control, tons of homework and Occulemency lessons with Snape.

Just then Harry's thoughts were interrupted by the Slytherins singing their old Quidditch song "Weasley is our King". Ron's ears turned bright red. "Shut up Malfoy!" said Hermione.

"Shut up you filthy Mudblood!" Pansy Parkinson shrieked with laughter.

"IMPEDIMENTA!" Three voices rang out and Pansy & Draco went flying backwards.

Unfortunately for them, Umbridge was evaluating Hagrid this class. She came running over.

"Potter, Granger, Weasley, detention! And 30 points from Gryffindor." "30 points!" Harry protested.

"Fine, make it 30 points each" Umbridge replied.

Turning to Harry, she added "Potter I thought you had learned not to lose your temper."

Then she smiled one of her evil false smiles and left to help Malfoy and Pansy. Malfoy smirked.

"Crabbe, Goyle take Malfoy and Parkinson up to the hospital wing, Madame Pomfrey will be able to help them." ordered Umbridge.

The rest of the class Hermione, Ron and Harry were fuming over with anger towards Malfoy.
