Lucius Hidden Son

Chapter 20: Last step before the holidays!


-- "I'll tell you ! You will work together to put your differences aside and you will have the best marks! The council will beg you to go in seventh year and with a little luck, they will remove this stupid reform! "Says the Professor of potions.

-- "And how are we gonna to do it? "Harry asked.

-- "It's easy: Harry is gifted for magical creatures, he will help you, Hermione has all her notes in the history of magic, she will give them to you and all three, you are going to work divination because it is far to be satisfactory! And you know what Lucius said you, both of you! And will you do the same for all other course! "Said the godfather looking alternately at the three children.

Hermione noted that the professor had been called her by her first name, was she in good graces?
All three agreed! They will work and had the best marks of the school!

"And specifically, how will we do? Asked Draco who think the conversation would lead nowhere.

-- It's very esay! I can ask Buck to come to school, we can train with him! Says Harry happily.

-- The hippogriff which failed to eat me? You're sick or what? Says Draco, panicked.

-- It will not harm you, ensured Harry. If you're calm, nice and… POLITE!

-- what are you speaking about ? Asked Draco, with a frozen smile.

-- Nothing at all! Respond Harry who did not want to compete with his twin for so little.

-- I agree! Says Hermione. It is better to train in case there would be a practical test!

-- Even if you do not want to admitit, they are right. Whispered Severus to calm his nephew whose the single word of hippogriff make him get grey hairs.

-- Ok! And for the rest? Tried Draco.

-- For the divination, we will learn by heart all the meanings and interpretations of symbols for reading tea leaves! I think it would be better to also train to do so because it might lead us to make a practical exercise! Explained Hermione.

-- It is true, this would be her to do so ! "Approved Severus.

The twins were also ok.

"And for history of magic? I do not see how we're gonna do… Says Draco. It was the most soporifique subject he had ever seen.

-- That’s very easy! " stated Hermione.

Harry, Draco and Severus looked sceptical.

"Before you gone to the library, I went to see Professor Binns, explained Hermione, and I asked him some questions about what he was intending to do for the duty.

-- I thought he was not entitled to help us. Says Harry.

-- Teachers are not allowed to assist us in matters of duty but for the kind of duty, yes! Dit Hermione, a very slytherin smile on her lips.

-- Hermione? You give me the sheets, there! You have missed your vocation for Slytherin or what? Asked Harry.

-- You're well placed to tell me that! she says.

Severus and Draco looked at each other . They did nothing, or rather did not want to understand.

"What you are talking about, you both? Tried Draco.

-- Harry, he had to go to Slytherin since the beginning… "Answered Hermione.

Severus was blocked speechless.

"How do you know it, you? Asked Harry.

-- You talk in your sleep… Says vaguely Hermione.

-- Huh? Says Harry.

-- She tried to explain you that she had guessed with everything that you have donz ! And that, knowing that you are Draco’s twin , you could not go anywhere but to Slytherin! "Clarified Severus who came to understand that he had been rolled in flour from the beginning! If Harry had not "cheated" in the first year, Slytherin would have won the Cup for six years! It was relative: Harry was now in his house and they would win at the end of the year! What a pity that this young girl is not in his house unless……

"And you? Says Draco who had reached the same conclusions as his beloved godfather.

-- Well… ie that… Mumbled Hermione.

-- Hermione! Smiled Harry who had also understood.

-- The Sorting Hut gave me the choice between Slytherin and Griffyndor and Ron and you were among lions, I wanted to go so… "Whispered Hermione.

When hearing these words, Severus did not know who he most wanted to strangle: students who spread infamous rumours about his house to escape it and being with the other or the Hut for leaving the choice to students. Since when did we have the right to choose our house? Or was it a lion or it was a snake! Snakes can’t be with lions by Salazar! He had wanted to commit murder! First Harry who had cheated for six years and now Hermione, one of the best school students who had gone at with the lions just because his house had a bad reputation! Where did the world gone !

Echoing a semblance of calm, Severus decided to ask the question that burned his lips:

"Do you want to go to Slytherin ? "

Severus begged Merlin and Salazar she says yes.

"Well… Ron has become so sinister since Harry has disappeared and then I'd like to be able to help Harry, then… do you accept that I change my house? "Asked timidely Hermione, waiting for the response with apprehension.

Severus who rubbed his hands internally since the beginning of the response of the girl, didn’t want to lose his chance.

"Given that this is where you should be from the beginning, yes. You know many students who should have come in Slutherin but choose not to because of disturbing rumours? "

Harry and Hermione shook their head. Immediately, the red and gold crest of the girl became green and silver. Harry threw himself into her arms. Now he would no longer need to hide to speak to her best friend!

Draco was happy for his little brother who would eventually make him lose his head but he was also pleased that the girl was in his house because he could ask his notes without being accused of pactising with the enemy!

"If we returned to duty, what you have learned from the History Professor? Asked Draco.

-- The duty will be a QCM. Answered Hermione. (Sorry, I don’t know the name in English )

-- A WHAT? Asked the three boys in chorus.

-- It is an Muggle invention, explained the brunette. It is just a questionnaire. If you answered right, you win a point, if you don’t answer, you will not loose point.

-- If it is wrong ? Cut Draco.

-- You lose a point! Finished Harry.

-- You know that, you? Says Draco.

-- Yes, there were at the Muggle school where I was. It surprises me that he knows that! Answered Harry.

-- That's what kind of questions? Asked Draco to see if he would be able to respond without working.

-- It may ask you a specific date, give you an event which you must give the precise date or ask the name of a goblin who did this or that thing, for example. It is very clear as the questionnaire. Admit Hermione.

-- It will have to learn each line of the course by heart? "

Draco believed that the sky had fallen on his head.

"I am afraid… Says Harry.

-- This is a very interesting method … Says Severus aloud.

-- you will not do that? begged Harry.

-- Ryry, he is a slytherin, I remind you, you're being encouraged him, there! "Draco said.

Harry grabbed the first book that came under his hand and began to hit his head with.

"We are dead, dead, dead…He mumbled.

-- I do not intend to use this method, Harry, reassured Severus. Otherwise, I still will have Ron and Longbottom in my class for 40 years and I do not intend to support them even more than necessary. So I'll work in a way that all of you will graduating and go in seventh year.

-- You will give us O, free? Asked Harry, stars in his eyes.

-- Don’t exaggerate! I'll still repeating and reapeting during my lessons until you can recite all my course by heart! I have enough pickles in other classes and years without that I added two more on the arms! With this method even these two will make it ! If using this method, they fail, I will eat my cauldron at the end of the year! Promised Severus, very self-confident.

-- Here, I can guarantee that you will! "Whispered Draco to the ear of Hermione. Harry also heard him and smiled. They were going to play well all three.
