Gone Now, Here Tomorrow

Chapter 4

I thought about that question all night. But I couldn't bring myself to do anything  

about it. 

The next morning I quickly got dressed and checked my shcedule. First I had  

free period (sweet right!?), so I walked down the long corridors to the dungeon.  

It disturbed me that all the way there that people were talking about Harry. I  

could tell it disturbed him too because he kept looking at people and then looking  

away quickly. 

Just then Peeves threw a waste-basket on my head.  

"GAH! What the heck! Peeves! GO. AWAY!" I screamed. 

"Awww, ickle firstie having a tantrum, awwww, how cute!" He said in his  

extremely high-pitched voice. I ignored him and kept walking. I studied my shedule  

trying to remember which teacher was which. Potions with Snape, Herbology with  

Professor Sprout, and History of Magic with Professor Binns, the only teacher that's  

actually a ghost. Apparently he fell asleep infront of the staff-room fire and when he  

woke up he left his body behind and went to go teach his class. Then there was  

Professor Flitwick, the Charms teacher. A short and stubby like man. And lastly  

Professor Mcgonagall, she was Clever but strict. First thing she said,  

"No messing around or you will never see the walls of this room again." It was  

time for the mail. I never get any mail, I just pet Fluff and then send him off. But  

today I got a letter from Hagrid. 

Dear Jade, 

If you have another free period today would you want to come down to my hut? 

Thanks!, Hagrid 

I shoved the note in my pocket and sent off Fluff 

HOW COULD HAGRID INVITE ME TO HIS HUT IF HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW ME THAT WELL?! I  

decided I would go, but only under my invisibility cloak. I continued to walk to the  

dungeon. Snape seemed like a sketchy figure. As I walked past the potions room I  

looked in to see the 3rd years learning a new potion that was supposed to cure  

Paralysis. Wait. How did I know that?! I waited for them to end the class and walked  

in. I took my seat at the very back of the class. 

A couple minutes later more people streamed in. Harry sat infront of me next  

to ROn. ( of course :l ) Snape started talking about wand waving foolishly or  

something and then about 'brewing glory' and 'bottling death' or something like that.  

Real facinating stuff if you ask me. 

"Harry" I whispered really quietly. He's apparently not completely stupid  

because without turning around he said, "yeah" 

"Did you get a---" I started. 

"Harry can you tell me the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?" Snape
