A few days had passed, Hermione was already barely used to life in this age. Hermione was still doing the same routine of visiting the library that she loved so much Harry was still lying in the hospital because of the incident in the transfiguration class. Not that Harry was just happy to be able to lie relaxed in the hospital like that. He repeatedly asked madam pomfrey to be allowed out of the hospital, but madam pomfrey never allowed him because of harry's injuries that still needed special care.
"harry look who I'm here with !" two boys who are already well known harry appeared from behind Hermione's back.Their faces barely seemed because they were covered by a pile of chocolate frog boxes, bottles of pumpkin juice, and so on, wrapped in candy, various types of cakes, and also some colorful flower bundles
"this is all from Gryffindor's children, we're very worried about you. Finally madam pomfrey let us come and visit you and can bring all this. All this time we tried to see you but it wasn't allowed, was it George ?" lupin and George put all the things he carried to the table next to the Harry's table. Hermione did not expect the friends in her dorm at this time to pay attention to Harry. Not only Harry, Hermione also felt very helped by the presence of all of them.
"yes right. Only professor Dumbledore and Mione were allowed. None of this is even allowed to enter. So tickle this madam pomfrey" Thomas said. Harry and Hermione could only laugh at the babbling of the two new friends. Both are very pleasant, that makes Harry and Hermione feel comfortable to be able to live in this era.
They chatted along with a little niggle as Thomas and George began to go silly. "ah thom, how is this. The next game is for sure our team will look ridiculous" George took one chocolate frog they had brought for Harry.
"do not. We don't have to come. Tell me we're short on players. Is it true ?" Thomas looked hard.
"what are you talking about ?" Hermione asked confusedly not understanding at all with the conversation of the two new friends.
"oh, quidditch. We're talking about quidditch. You know what ? we are short of players. Our seeker decided to quit because it was already in its seventh year. We've opened the slection for that position but they're all incredibly lousy, whereas the game is only a week away. Maybe we'll go to the next game" said George, tugging at his hair, frustrated.
"astaga ! so that's the problem. You know what ? harry Seeker was amazing at his old school. He became the youngest seeker in school. He's been a seeker since his first year." The flattered Harry could only smile in embarrassment. He completely forgot about his hobby since arriving in this era. He thought of nothing but a way to go back to his time.
"you're seriously mione !" george and Thomas are not playing. He patted harry's shoulder girang forgot with harry's wounds that were still not healed.
"apologies harry, still sick huh ? we were too happy to hear this news. You better get well harry fast so we can practice" Hermione saw the harry who seemed more excited. Hermione was also happy that at least Harry might be able to forget for a moment about his problem with tom and focus on his training. Because it's dangerous enough to show that we hate tom.
"let's go to class soon. Otherwise we can be late" Hermione looked at her watch, 10 more minutes of class was indeed about to begin.
"what classes will you enter ?" Ask harry.
"cropion grade. It's the first day of potion class in this smester"
(***)
Hermione, Thomas, and George arrived at the class just in time. Because a few seconds after they entered, professor horace slughron entered the class. The three of them were on the back bench because it was the bench that was left.
"good morning, class" said professor slughron with a cheer. The whole class answered professor slughron's greeting compactly. Professor slughron has not changed much, but it still looks the same, it just looks younger and not as fat in Hermione's time. Hermione wondered if she would like Professor Slughron in this age.
"have mr flamel started this class yet ?" Ask professor slughron whose questions go straight to the table the gryfindors are sitting on. They all said not yet with a small squeaking voice but like his professor slughron already quite understood.
"oh, what a pity, but we still have others in this class. Okay let's continue with our class" Hermione had absolutely no idea what Professor slughron meant. And he also does not want to bother.
"in this year we will only learn 3 ingredients. Where the third potion will be your final duty." Professor slughron flicked his finger and suddenly 3 cauldrons filled with liquid floated up and then fell gently onto the professor slughron's table.
"nah" said professor slughron, as he inflated his already inflated chest, so that the buttons of his vest were almost released, "I have prepared some potions for you to see, just so you know. These are all ingredients that you should be able to make after completing your NEWT. You must have heard of these herbs, even though you have never made them. Anyone know what this potion is ?"
Professor slughron pointed at the cauldron closest to the slytherin table. Hermione - even almost the entire class rose a little from her seat and saw a liquid like mud bubbling slowly in the cauldron. Hermione's well-trained hands did not even abandon her habit despite being stranded in an age very far from her time, already lifted into the air before the others – no, no, not this time. Because there are others who are now holding their hands high.
"oh is really what I thought, but this time let's let miss Dumbledore answer it. Hermione wondered who the person who wanted to rival her in this class was. He looked at the slytherin table and there the riddle sat down gracefully and alone. He completely forgot that he was a riddle class in this potion class. It has been a few days since Harry was admitted to the hospital Hermione was completely reluctant to deal with the riddle even he was reluctant to meet with the riddle even in the great hall.
"it's a polyjus herb, sir" he replied. He truly recognized the potion because he had managed to concoct the potion in his second year. At that time he and his two best friends wanted to find out about who the heir to the slytherin who had opened the secret room Hogwarts.
"that's great, that's great. As I thought" said professor slughron happily. "well," he continued, pointing to the cauldron closest to the gryfindor table. "this one is no less famous than the previous potion, who ...ya son" once again Hermione's hand the fastest, even the riddle had not had time to raise his hand.
"it's amortentia !"
"really so. It feels kind of stupid to ask." Says professor slughron who began to be impressed by Hermione's actions in class today. Even his two new friends did not expect Hermione to be almost perfect in all lessons.
"do you know what it means, son ?"
"amortentia is the most potent love potion in the whole world !" hermione.
"right ! you recognize it, I guess from its luster that's like a pearl coral ?"
"and the steam is soaring in a typical spiral shape," said Hermione enthusiastically, "and the smell is different for each person, depending on what appeals to us, and I could smell freshly cut grass and new parchment and" Hermione did not finish her sentence, the other scent was the scent of ron hair, he said, it reminded her of her lover who was waiting for her to return in her current time.
"amortentia doesn't actually create love, it might make or imitate love. No, it just creates an overwhelming feeling of infatuation or obsession. This is probably the most dangerous and most powerful herb in the room" explained professor slughron, the rest of the class trying to record what professor slughron said. It seems like many of them will try to make this potion.
"well what about this third potion ?" professor slughron pointed at the cauldron in the middle of the room. Hermione woke up from her daydream and looked at the third cauldron. It was very similar to the veritaserum herb but there were a few different things that there was a very gentle and soothing fragrant aroma. This potion was completely foreign to Hermione.this was the second time Hermione could not answer the teacher's question. He really had to study hard in this age in order not to be left behind like this.
"well what about this third potion ?" tom heard a question from professor slughorn. He knew the answer, but he had no interest in wasting his energy answering it. Dumbledore will answer. A minute passed but no one answered. Tom saw my back where Dumbledore was sitting. How surprised he was to see Dumbledore was confused. Tom smiled faintly and raised his hand.Curtainly, he is not as genius as I thought his inner self is triumphant.
"it's a liquid Honestate potion, sir" the riddle replied with a polite smile.
"oho ! that's right ! this is the herb honeste liquiud. Can you explain this potion, son ?"
"remarkable…. We have two outstanding students in this class. 20 points for Gryffindor and 10 points for slytherin. Well, that was just an introduction. For amortentia and polyjus we can not practice in this class because it is quite dangerous for you. As for the herb honestate liquid we can try it to be our final task"
loud huu sounds especially from the slytherin table. Tom did not change his expression at all. He had never made this potion before, but he had already read many books about the herb because one day he wanted to try to make it and this time he would try it, he was very sure it would work. He looked around and his eyes stopped at the Dumbledore girl. What a rare sight to see him bewildered and anxious. 'what is he worried about ? is he worried about the flamel ? or is he worried about the task this time ? maybe he was worried because he was bad at making potions' tom tried to hold his kikiknya so as not to arouse suspicion for those who see him.
"alright before we start making potions today, I'll split the group. One group consists of two people. I've made a small roll containing the numbers. Your partner is the one with the same number. Come get your numbers earlier I'll take the numbers for mr. flamel who's still in the hospital" professor slughron picked up a random quickly one of the rolls of paper. It's not that paper.
"number 9, for those who get the number 9 your partner is mr flamel" professor slughron yelled at him to have the whole class hear him because the kids had started to grab him. Then one by one the children began to come forward to take his number. Tom just relaxes waiting for the crowd to thin out.
Already many students who shouted his number to find his partner, when it began to desolate tom began to take his number. The antiran gets thinner and finally arrives when his tom picks up his paper roll. He opened the scroll and looked at the numbers.
"number 7 ! come on no 7 who's no 7 !" tom heard the almost desperate scream of a girl. 'no 7, it's my no. I hope he's not a lousy person' tom immediately searched for the origin of the sound source.
"number 7 ! come on no 7 who's no 7 !" hermione's voice was hoarse because from earlier shouted her no so that her partner but did not come. He really hopes his partner is a person who is usually invited to cooperate.
"mione, have you found your partner yet ?" George asked, "not yet have I found it. What a bitch this is" Hermione was desperate. "who's your partner ?" Asked mione. "me ? with Harry" replied george. Oh it's so nice to have your own partner. He hopes to pair with Thomas. But it seems Thomas already has his partner. A small, cute gryffindor girl standing next to him. Hermione doesn't know her name, but like her she's a good girl.
"number 7 !" Hermione heard a man shouting number 7. Hermione turned to her. "here ! I'm number 7 ! I have been since…. Riddle ?!" Hermione is shocked not to play turns out her partner is riddle. 'fuck ! out of so many people why should he !?" hermione in the Heart. Riddle approached her with a smile that adorned her handsome face.
"we're one group ? I hope we can work together" the whispering riddle that made Hermione's feathers stand goosebumps heard. Riddle seemed to have no interest in sweetening Hermione and even showed her the demon side before her. Hermione did not respond at all to what the riddle had said.
"we'll start working on the potion for Christmas, where I'll tell you more" Riddle just left. Hermione Masi was still riveted. Really he still could not believe the fact that he was a group with a riddle and had to work on a potion that was quite dangerous for him. He intended to make veritaserum only. Because the effect of veritaserum is not so strong that Hermione can regulate it. As for what he had to make, Hermione really did not know what the potion was. In addition, one group with riddles that have intelligent brains. It was impossible for Hermione to fool him.
"mione ? mione ? are you okay ?" Hermione was made aware by Thomas. "oh, sorry. I'm still a little surprised" Hermione replied. "Riddle comes to you, are you a group ?" Thomas asked, Hermione just nodded. And in reply to the long 'oh' of Thomas.
"just relax mione, there's a lot of gossip that there's something bad about riddle. But you know, it's just gossip. In reality there was nothing bad about him. So the spirit is" george calms Hermione. 'the problem is I already know her bad behavior' inner Hermione.it seems like she should immediately discuss with harry about this matter.
"have you all the couples ? okay, now it's time for us to get to work" said professor slughron.
"open page ten Advanced Potion Making. We still have an hour less, though, so enough time for you to try to make Life Hiccups Dead I know this potion is more complicated than any potion you've ever tried to make before, and I don't expect perfect potions from anyone. However, the child who produced the best potion would win 100 points for his dorm. Please start !"
There was a creaking sound as all the children pulled the cauldron close to them, and a loud clang as some of the children began to weigh the potion, but no one spoke. All the children were fully concentrated. Hermione saw her two best friends opening up her Advanced Potion Maker book excitedly.
Hermione is actually not so excited because of her 'couple' case. But he followed the others as well, he hurriedly bowed to see the Level Potion Making book he rushed to the ingredient cabinet to pick up what he needed. As he ran back to his quality, he saw the riddle was slicing the valerian root thoroughly and very neatly. Really if he's not a bad guy it must be a perfect riddle. Hermione shook her head to wake up to herself who was already almost mesmerized by the good looks of the riddle.
All the children were constantly glancing at what the other friend was doing. This is the advantage and disadvantage of the potion lesson, it is difficult to maintain the confidentiality of the potion you made. Within ten minutes the entire room was filled with bluish steam. Riddle was of course the one with the most rapid progress. The herb already resembled a "smooth, black berry-colored" liquid that was mentioned as an ideal mid-stage.
After he finished slicing the roots, Hermione bowed low in her book again. Hermione recalls the notes of the prince of mixed blood saying that the sopophorous beans should be on a crepe with a flat part of a silver dagger and would give off more liquid than when she cut it. Harry had already tried it and it was more effective, so this time he did not follow the instructions in the book and followed what was said by the prince of mixed blood.
After Hermione had picked it up she hurriedly poured all the liquid into the cauldron. He saw that the potion had instantly turned into light purple just as described by the book. He smiled thinly. Remember that time he hated harry so much because harry did not follow the instructions in the book but instead made a potion that worked perfectly thanks to the help of the prince of mixed blood.
Hermione stirred counterclockwise, and stirred it clockwise. The effect is immediately visible. The potion turned pale pink.
"how did you do it ?" Asked George whose face was reddish due to the steam from his qualities. Her potion with the wayward was still purple.
"add one round clockwise"
"no, no, according to the book.."
"trust me I used to be like you, more trusting in the instructions of the book, the result of which my potion is not perfect." Obviously Hermione while grinning. George believed it and immediately the potion turned pale pink as well.
"thank you" said George. Hermione continued what she was doing, seven counterclockwise strokes, one clockwise, one clockwise, stopping…
Across the table, Thomas cursed softly. The potion looked like a thick black cough medicine. He looked around he saw the riddle looked annoyed with the potion although not bad, it could be said that the potion was the same as he had made it before. Hermione simply smiled and continued her activities.
"time's up.. time's up kids" exclaimed professor slughron. "please artfully stir !"
Professor slughron moved slowly between the tables, peering into the cauldron. He did not comment, sometimes stirring the potion and sniffing it even some were just in his passing because the smoke that appeared in the cauldron was pitch black and smelled very strange. He patted fondly on the riddle's shoulder when he saw his potion. And Riddle replied to her with his most charming smile.
Finally the Professor slughron arrived at the table of Hermione, Thomas, and George. On cringing at Thomas's potion which was like hot asphalt. And he agreed to George's potion. Then he saw Hermione's potion and an expression of joy and disbelief appeared on his face.
"remarkable. This is the first time for me to see a student who has succeeded perfectly in making this potion. Really you dumbledore family boy. 100 points for Gryffindor !" in her heart, Hermione was truly grateful to Harry and the book of the prince of mixed blood. He accidentally saw the riddle, the riddle grinned horribly and just hurriedly Hermione turned her face away.
"you are amazing !" whispered Thomas and George together.
They were all out of class when the lesson was over, Hermione saw her watch turned out to be lunch time.
"we're going to the great hall now" Thomas said. Hermione nodded in agreement as she was hungry at the moment.
