Feeling the floor
~*~
The next day, the Sixth-year Gryffindor boys woke to the sound
of someone retching in the washroom. Harry\'s bed was empty and
everyone was quite worried about him. Ron retrieved him from the
washroom and dragged him down to breakfast.
Once the boys were seated comfortably at the Gryffindor table
and eating their breakfast, Hermione arrived carrying the sixth-year
timetables. She handed one to each ot the boys and sat down
purposefully beside Ron and began chewing on a muffin, her eyes fixed
intently on her schedule.
\"Oh no, look at these schedules,\" complained Ron. Double
Potions first thing with the Slytherins of course. Then Divination
and Transfiguration followed by Astronomy tonight. What a first
day.\"
Harry\'s stomach churned more violently at the mention of
Potions first thing in the morning. He wasn\'t sure he could stand
Snape so early in the morning. Nibbling on some dry toast, Harry
pondered the day ahead and hoped that he would be able to control his
stomach. He desperately wanted to avoid making a fool of himself
during Potions.
Breakfast finished and the Gryffindor sixth years filed down
into the dungeon along with the Slytherins. Snape wasn\'t yet in the
classroom which wasn\'t unusual. The students seated themselves as
Professor Snape hobbled into the dungeon room and slammed the door
shut.
\"Well, I see that our numbers have thinned. As I said last
year, I take only the best students into my NEWT classes. Clearly,
the OWL has become too easy as I see some surprising faces in the
class.\" Snape sneered as he stared directly at Harry, Ron, and
Neville. \"Mr. Potter, a surprise indeed. Though not nearly as
surprising as Mr.Longbottom\etureturn. Haven\'t had enough I see.\"
Snape turned to the blackboard and with a flick of his wand
produced the instructions for the days assignment. The instructions
were more complicated than any of the students had ever seen and the
name of the Potion was strange and unfamiliar.
\"No doubt you are all wondering what Potion would require
such careful and precise attention,\" Snape stated. \"It is an amazing
Potion indeed. Arcanus Intus translates as Secret Within. It causes
the drinker to spill their most precious and well hidden secret.\"
Snape grinned evilly. \"Now get to work!\"
The students gathered their ingredients quickly and set to
work on the Potion. Harry\'s hands began to shake and he felt his
stomach sway again. His heart beat faster at the thought of his
secret being revealed to the Potions class. Not here, not here he
thought to himself. However, his inner pleading was simply in vain as
he passed out onto the stone cold floor of the Potions classroom.
