Hope and The Marauders (ON HOLD)

Chapter f i v e

"What are they? The things you're eating I've never seen them before." She said/asked.

I looked at Dumbledore before answering, he smiled at me and I smiled back knowing what that meant. I kept my smile and replied; "There called beignets. It's a French dessert but they are also famous in New Orleans, where I'm from." I said finishing one and kept smiling.

"Pass me one Hope?" Lily asked and I complied.
I gave her one and waited for a reaction as soon as she took a bite she smiled and moaned at the taste.

"Good?" I asked laughing and never letting my smile falter.

"So good." She said laughing.

"Sweet sweet carbs." I told her and we started laughing. 
Only then after what looked like a heated discussion the Marauders joined in on the conversation.

"What are you two laughing about?" James asked curiously.

"Oh just your failed attempts on flirting." I joked laughing.

"And here I thought we were becoming friends." He mocked feigning hurt and I just laughed it off. 

"What's he talking about?" Lily asked.

"Oh this morning I woke up early you were still asleep I went to the common room to draw and he came down annoyed me and we talked. That's it." I told her shrugging and eating some more beignets while she nodded and ate more too.

"What are you eating?" Sirius asked.

"Beignets. Try one." I said simply, he nodded and took one off my plate before I could stop him.

"These are good." He said with a mouthful.

"Don't talk with your mouthful, it's disgusting." I scolded. Before he could say something I got up with my bag taking one more beignet and saying to the girls. "Well, I'll see you later I have potions."

"Bye." Marlene and Alice said Lily just got up and looked at me.

"I'll come with I have it too." And with that we walked out of the great hall and to potions, I ended giving her half of the dessert I had.

We walked in and sat at different place since she sat next to some guy name Severus. I sat at an empty table and when I turned there sat Sirius.

"Really? Don't you have any where else to sit?" I asked annoyed.

"I do. But I want to sit with you." He said with a mischievous smile. I just sighed and took out my potions book.

He was about to say something else when the teacher walked in.
"I'm going to ask some questions and you are going to raise your hands to answer."
There was a chorus of 'yes sir's.
"What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
He asked and Lily's hand went up.
"Evans."

"It would make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death." She said.

"Correct. 10 points to Gryffindor.
Next question: Where would you look if I asked for a bezoar?"
I put my hand up after a minute.

"Miss Mikaelson?"

" A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons." I tell him.

"Correct 10 points to Gryffindor.
Next question: What is the difference between monkshood and wolfs bane?" He asked looking directly at me and I snarled under my breath but after he finished the question I saw Remus tense out of the corner of my eye.
But to please the teacher I put my hand up now looking at him with a glare.

"Miss Mikaelson." He said with a smug look.

"Monkshood and wolfs bane, they are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite. It can be a poison to some breeds of werewolves, to others it can be made into a potion if they don't want to turn every full moon." I answered the one with a smug look now and he just looked shocked. After he regained composure he spoke.

"Correct Miss Mikaelson. 20 points to Gryffindor for an extra explanation."

"Thank you Professor Slughorn." I said still with my smug smile.

"I expect 1 roll of parchment on the uses of aconite and where it can be found by Monday. Class dismissed." He said While everyone left I walked up to his desk.

"Professor." I stated making my presence known.

"Miss Mikaelson." He said surprised. "What can I do for you?" He asked wearily.

"I just thought I would tell you, if you try and go against a Mikaelson, you. Will. Lose." I told him with a deadly look in my eyes, and for a second I thought I saw fear.

"Is that a threat?" He asked trying to look like he wasn't afraid.
I just smiled and laughed slightly before turning my smile to the famous Mikaelson smirk.

"Of course not Professor, just a friendly... warning. Have a good day." I smiled and walked out to find my friends.
