"Harry, don't listen to the old fool. These dreams mean something." I say to him as he nods.

"I don't trust the headmaster for a second, I just need him to think I do." Harry explains as i grin at him.

"Shocker you aren't in Slytherin." I say as he snorts, nodding as we walk down the corridor.

"It's a sign, Severus!" I hear igor yell as Harry sighs.

"You know what it means as well as I." Igor snaps as the door next to us opens, revealing igor holding out his arm which had the dark mark on it.

Igor turns towards us as I put a hand on my waist, glancing at igor and snape.

"How interesting..." i mutter as igor quickly pulls his sleeve down and runs off.

"Potters! What's your hurry?" Snape snaps as me and Harry almost walk away, I glance at him.

"Congratulations. Your performance in the black lake was inspiring." Snape says monotonously as i grin.

"Gillyweed, am I correct?" Snape directs this question towards Harry as he nods.

"Yes sir." Harry says as Snape glances at him.

"Ingenious." Snape says before walking back into the room, me and Harry walking over to the entrance so we can see.

"A rather rare herb, gillyweed." Snape says as he climbs the ladder, digging through the shelves trying to find something.

"Not something found in your everyday garden..." Snape mutters as he picks something up, turning it around before climbing back down the ladder. "Nor is this."

He holds a small bottle of a green liquid up as he looks at the two of us. "Either of you know what it is?"

"Bubble juice, sir?" Harry remarks sarcastically as I snicker at the boy.

"Veritaserum. Three drops of this and you-know-who himself would spill his darkest secrets. The use of it in a student is..." Snape pauses as I grin in amusement, what if I got Tom to take this?

"Regrettably, forbidden. However, should you ever steal from my personal stores again, my hand might just slip over your morning pumpkin juice." Snape says as I raise an eyebrow at the man.

"I haven't stolen anything." Harry says as Snape glares at him.

"Don't lie to me." Snape demands as I scoff. "Gillyweed may be innocuous, but boomslang skin, lacewing flies? you and your little friends are brewing polyjyucd potion, and believe me, I'm going to find out why."

He then slams the door in our faces as I laugh at the man before skipping away.
