Chapter 16
A/N: Sorry this took so long people, I had the hugest writer's block known to man and have just gotten my inspiration to start this chapter. Mind you I hope this chapter doesn't suck too much because I started it at 12:50am! I really appreciate everybody's reviews and compliments and constructive criticism and hopes that this satisfies everybody's expectations. I have already started cooking up the sequal to this story as this is going to be the last chapter in this engagement. I really appreciate everybody that's reviewed so far because I really don't think that I could've made it this far without everybody's support. But enough of my rambling since I'm sure you're all dying to get past this and read the actual chapter.

The welcoming feast went by uneventfully with the usual announcements from Dumbledore about the Forbidden Forest being just that and reminding students to take extra care and be very careful about Voldemort's return.
The next morning Harry Ron and Hermione were sitting at the Gryffindor table eating breakfast as Professor McGonagall made her way down the table passing out the term's schedules. Further down the table Harry saw Lei sitting with her group of friends whom he had met at Diagon Alley athough, Oliver was not their as he left 2 years ago. She looked up and down the table and gave a smile and went back to talking with her friends.
Harry was brought back to earth by Ron's outburst upon seeing his new schedule
"Bloody hell! How could they stick us in Double Potions with the Slytherins first thing in the morning!"
Hermione gave Ron a glare warning him about his mouth but Ron ignored it and continued on his mini-tirade. Ron's indignant cry hadn't gone unnoticed up at the High Table where Snape was sitting and he sent a glare Ron's way.
Hermione, in a futile attempt to pacify Ron said
"Oh come on Ron, at least we get it done and overwith first thing in the morning, and besides we have Defense right afterwards and I don't know if you noticed but Professor Lupin is back this year, so you know that it'll be a good lesson."
Ron sighed and nodded his agreement and Harry just watched the exchange with a small smile playing across his lips.
It was at that moment that Harry looked at the watch that Professor Snape had gotten him over the summer after finding about Harry's last watch stopping after the Second Task of the Triwizard Tournament, and realized that if they didn't leave right then they would be late for potions.
Harry grabbed his bag and stood up and said
"Come on you guys, if we don't leave right now we're going to be late for Potions and the last thing that I want is start off the year in negative points for lateness."
Harry stuffed the last bit of toast in his mouth and started for the door with Ron and Hermione close on his heels.
They arrived just barely on time at the Dungeons and slid into their seats just as Snape was about to take points off and assign detention for tardiness but closed his mouth as he saw the infamous trio slide into their seats.
Snape stood there quietly for a moment observing his class and began his speech.
"I see that you have all somehow managed to pass and advance onto the next level, some of you I've yet to figure out how on Earth you did make it this far."
He said looking over at the desks where Neville, Ron and Harry were sitting.
"This year we will be brewing even more difficult potions than in previous years in preparation for your O.W.L exams in May."
With that said Severus turned around and waved his wand and the instructions and ingredients for the Dreamless Sleep potion appeared on the blackboard and turned around to see the class staring at him.
He arched and eyebrow and said bitingly
"Well what are you all waiting for? A written invitation?! Get your ingredients and get to work! And Potter don't you even think about working with Weasley and Granger. Move your stuff over with Longbottom."
The class collectively flinched and Harry slowly stood and moved his stuff over to Neville and sat down.
"Harry I'm really sorry that you have to work with me." Neville said.
Harry just shook his head and smiled and said
"Neville I'd rather work with you over Malfoy any day, why don't you stir the ingredients as I add them."
Neville nodded his agreement and Harry went to work cutting up and organizing and preparing the ingredients to add to the simmering cauldron.
Forty five minutes later Harry and Neville peered over the edge of the cauldron and were surprised to see that their potion looked just how the book said it should look. Snape also saw this and walked over and could barely keep the surprised look off of his face at the fact that Potter and Longbottom had actually managed to successfully make a potion together.
This first time since he had started teaching Potter and Longbottom he couldn't find fault with the potion, it was perfect and he and the boys both knew it. So he merely sneered mentally thinking to himself that the Granger girl must have been whispering instructions to them as she always does, and walked away.
Five minutes before the class was due to end is when he said his next statement.
"Time is up. You will bottle and lable your potions and leave them on my desk then clean up the mess that you've made and class is dismissed."
Harry quickly bottled up his and Neville's potion and put the vial on Snape's desk as ordered. As he was walking back to his work table Draco Malfoy dropped a dungbomb a few feet in front of Harry.
Now normally a dungbomb is bad enough because of the smell but it was discovered over the summer that Harry had an extreme sensitivity to smoke and specifically dungbombs that always violently triggered his asthma.
Harry sought out and sunk onto the nearest stool and automatically reached for his inhaler and took it. Over the mayhem Snape saw the distinctive yellow tube and raised an eyebrow and said loudly.
"Potter?"
Harry raised his hand as if to say 'I'm fine'.
Snape questioned it for a moment but when he saw Harry get up and get his stuff and leave the classroom he didn't think any more of it. Snape did see Malfoy trying to sneak out though and said
"Don't even think about leaving Mr. Malfoy and get up here this instant."
Malfoy thought that he'd gotten away with his little prank but put on his most arrogant and confidant face and walked up to his teacher's desk and said in a seemingly innocent tone of voice,
"Yes professor."
Snape saw right through the mask and tone of voice and said
"Don't play dumb with me Mr. Malfoy because you most certainly are not that but I saw you pull that little stunt back there and just thought that I'd let you know that you have detention with me tonight at 8pm in this dungeon and if you do not show up for it you will have detention with Filch for a week."
Malfoy paled at the thought of having detention with Filch and moved to leave the classroom.
"Did I tell you that you could leave Mr. Malfoy?"
Draco paused and turned around and looked Snape square in the eye waiting for him to make the next move. He didn't have to wait long.
"Ten points will also be taken and you will write Mr. Potter and the entire class a written apology. This will be done outside of detention and I expect all apology letters to be ready to be distributed by the next class."
The look on Draco's face was absolutely priceless because Snape had always favoured him previously, but things had obviously changed this summer.
"Now get out of my sight!"
Draco quickly was snapped out of his reverie and exited the classroom.
Snape watched the retreating back of Draco Malfoy and sunk down on to his chair and rubbed the bridge of his nose in attempts to combat the growing headache. He silently thanked the Gods that he had the next period off.
***************************(On the way to DADA)
As the infamous Hogwarts Trio made their way to their next class Hermione's curiosity finally got the better of her.
"Harry what are you doing with an inhaler?"
Harry mentally smacked himself for not telling Ron and Hermione sooner and decided that now was the best time to tell them that one little part of what happened during the summer.
"Well Hermione, the reason that I have an inhaler is because I found out that I have asthma this summer. And because of Malfoy's little trick I needed it."
"Harry, how did you get asthma?"
"I got pneumonia during the summer and the Dursleys didn't pick up on it so it got worse and I ended up with asthma."
Harry said with finality to let Ron and Hermione know that the subject was closed as they got to the Defense classroom.
Remus saw the Trio enter and take seats closer to the front of the classroom. He smiled inwardly then sent the trio and the rest of the class a smile.
He saw Harry and already saw the small changes in the boy's appearance and thought that it shouldn't take more than a week or two for the charm to be completely worn off and everybody would see just what Harry Potter......or Snape should look like.
With that thought, Remus began the first class of the Trio's fifth year.
