Chapter 1: Potions Class is Hell

The day had barely begun but already Harry could tell it wasn't going to be a good one. He had woken up late and barely made it to the great hall in time to grab a quick bite of bangers and mash before Hermionie was dragging Ron and him out of the room and down the long dank hallways into the dungeons, and the waiting potions room. Of course given that the day started with potions it wasn't all that shocking that it was going to be a bad day. Of course he never thought it would be quite this bad. Ron had been paired off with Pansy Parkinson of all people, which left Harry ad Hermionie as a partners. Now normally this wouldn't be bad, but Hermionie was way too preoccupied by Ron and Pansy. Who seemed as if they were flirting with each other, which was kind of making Harry want to vomit.

"Hey, 'Mionie, what are the directions for the pickled snake heart?" Harry looked over to Hermionie was glaring at Pansy. " 'Mionie, the snake heart?"

Hermionie spun around to face him. "I don't care about the snake heart!" There was a thick plop sound and Harry stared hard at his friend. She had just tossed something from the table-top into their potion!

" 'Mionie what did you-" The potion began to bubble violently, the cauldron shaking and a vibrant green gas beginning to rise. "Hit the deck!" Harry pushed Hermionie violently out of the way, just as the cauldron exploded.

Harry screamed in pain as the boiling liquid ate through his school robes and scalded his flesh. He fell to the floor, withering in pain, vaguely aware of another person screaming in pain, and many high panicked voices surrounding him.

"-get help"

"-Pomfrey - hurry now!"

"-! Harry!...hear me....OK?"

"-ssor...help!"

"Save... potion..."

The voices began to fade into the background and slowly the darkness swallowed him, the pain following him into oblivion.


**11:43 p.m., Hogwarts Hospital Wing**


Briefly Harry rose out of the depths of sleep. HIs mind amidiatly aware of the pain centering in his hips and legs. He must have made a noise because there were gentle hands lifting his head. Soft words following the hands. And then the cool touch of smooth glass against his lips, and the slide of a bitter liquid down his throat.

The hands returned him to the heaven of the pillow. Slowly the pain disappeared and Harry fell back into a deep sleep.


**Morning, Hogwarts Hospital Wing**

The first thing upon waking that Harry noticed was the light. The room was bathed in light so bright it almost burned. He groaned and heard it echoed from a bed near-by. The sharp scent along with the feel of the mattress beneath him, and Harry knew that he was once again in the hospital wing.

"Good Morning, Mr. Potter. I hadn't expected to see you again quite so soon."

Harry rolled his head towards Madam Pomfrey. " 'morning, Poppy."

Poppy smiled, brushing Harry hair out of his eyes. "How are you feeling, dear?"

Harry swallowed, tacking stock of the various aches throughout his body. "My back and my legs ache a little, but they don't really hurt as much as they did yesterday."

"I am glad to hear that." Poppy reached into her apron and pulled out two vials. Harry recognized each immediately. Pain reducing and a nutrient potion. "I want you to take both of these. Dobby will be along with your breakfast shortly. Now I need to check on Professor Snape, if you need anything just call for."

"Thanks, Poppy."

Poppy walked off towards the bed that Harry had heard the moaning coming from. Harry sent up a silent prayer to whoever was listening that his Professor would be okay. It didn't matter how mean and snarky the git was, the pain that Harry had gone through was easily as bad as the curatais curse and he wouldn't wish that pain on anyone, not even Snape. Harry was startled out of his thoughts by a sudden pop signalling the arrival of Dobby the house elf.

Harry dutifully ate the food hat Dobby brought. His eyes kept straying back to the curtained bed where Poppy had gone to check on Snape only a few short minutes ago. Something was defiantly going on. Poppy never just rushed off like that. "Maybe I should get up now while she's gone and try to get to the restroom and back" Poppy wouldn't like it if she found him out of bed so soon after such a painful accident.

Harry pulled back his covers, twisting his lower body to the side of the bed. There was a soft thump noise and Harry looked down. For a moment he wasn't sure what he was seeing. Then he realized that what he should be seeing, his Quidditch toned legs, weren't there. Instead there was a long snake tail. His eyes tracked up the length of the tail to where it met with his hips. He had a tail. A snake tail.

Harry screamed.
