CONSEQUENCE The boy who survived

Chapter 5

"In!" He ordered impatiently as he waved his wand and the door to the class opened, the students all entered quickly, knowing better than to give Snape a reason to target them. Though Harry and his group purposely took their time when they entered, they weren't so slow it was obvious but just enough to make them stand out from others. Once they got in Harry sat next to Daphne while Red and Ryan paired together just as Violet and Rose paired together.

"So...another Potter?" Snape said in a soft voice when he stood at the front of the class and looked at Harry. "As if two of you polluting this world was not enough, there had to be a third." He said as his gaze alternated between both Potter twins while a couple of students from Gryffindor and Slytherin sniggered. Adrian glared back while Harry merely stayed calm, Harry could sense that his brother was about to talk and decided to take over.

"Well sir...sometimes there is just too much brilliance for one body." Harry replied with a small shrug.

"Another arrogant brat." Snape sneered at him.

"Yes well perhaps I am arrogant but unlike most..." Harry paused fo a few seconds and looked at Snape, making it clear that Snape was considered part of 'most' "...I can back it up."

"Is that so Potter?" Snape said in a challenging tone. "Very well, tell me then, what is gillyweed?"

"A magical plant capable of giving the user gills and webbed feet and hands." Harry answered easily.

"A lucky guess, what for object can be used as an antidote to common poisons?" Snape sneered.

"A bezoar."

"And where would I find a bezoar?"

"Any place that sells them, your potions cabinet and the stomach of a goat." Harry answered. "It's been theorised that mountain goats provide better bezoars but any will do."

"Three point from Slytherin for showing off," Snape said, he would've taken more if the boy wasn't one of his Slytherin's. "What is Amortentia?"

"Well sir," Harry said, biting back his first response which was 'the only way you'd ever get lucky'. "It is the world's strongest love potion."

"What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Snape asked before turning to Granger who kept raising her hand. "Sit down you silly girl!" He snapped. "Ten points from Gryffindor!"

"Oh, asking newt level questions now?" Harry asked with an amused smile. "The answer is you would get a draught of living death, a potion which can make someone look dead when they aren't."

"What is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?!" Snape glared at him, refusing to believe that there was anyway a Potter could get his questions right without cheating.

"There isn't one, they are both the exact same plant and also go by the name of aconite. You got anything else you want to throw at me?" Harry asked with a raised and challenging eyebrow, something that he had admittedly practised. 'And Violet said it was a waste of time.' He mentally grinned.

Everyone in the classroom was shocked for various reasons, the Slytherin's because Snape never targeted a single Slytherin the way he was targeting Harry, also because they were shocked at how easily Harry was answering Snape's questions. Daphne was also very impressed and glad to know to know that her new boyfriend was intelligent, she looked at his friends and noticed that they were amused like they expected nothing less than for him to answer every question correctly.
