October beamed as Evvie skipped into the room and sat by her, it was impossible to be unhappy around someone who seemed to radiate happiness like her.
"yes it really has, I hope he's not as bad as toad face.... he dusn't seem very happy does he? We should make it our mission to make him smile" October declarerd with a determined nod.
She then looked up to see a girl with fiery red hair enter the class, she glanced at October and Evvie then sat by herself by the black board. Feeling guilty she hadn't asked her to sit with them October lent forward, "Excuse me, hi, would you like to sit with us?" She said and smiled warmly

After Professor Snape told them to write down the notes on the board, Andie heard someone, who she assumed was October because she recognized Evvie's voice, ask her if she'd like to sit with them. She turned around and kindly said," No, thank you, but I'd like to sit next to you guys next class if that's alright." She turned around and began writing notes on the board. From what the notes said, today might actually be fun. It sounded like they may actually be making a potion. Andie smiled. She loved to make potions and, she was quite good at potions and making potions.

Evvie wrinkled her nose again at the mention of lady toad. Without thinking about it, she let her fingers carress the bandage on the back of her right hand that hid the scars from her detention. She was still planning on revenge, tonight perhaps. Evvie was just bubbling inside thinking of it.
"He does look very sad," Evvie agreed, looking at the Professor, then a thought hit her, "ooohhh we did just learn that cheering charm in Charms today. I bet that'd cheer him up!" She said happily. Before October even had the chance to argue, Evvie aimed her wand at Professor Snape and cast the cheering charm.

October grinned "yeah sure!" she replied to Andie. She finished writing her notes from the board, the potion looked fairly complicated but any challenge was fun when it came to potions she thought happily. October waited patiently for the rest of the class to finish their notes, reading through her the list of ingredients and trying to figure out what type of potion it was.

"Protego." Snape muttered, as he had heard Miss. Willows' idea a couple seconds before. He wasn't interested in this, and was not sad, as the odd girl had pointed out. He was annoyed. "20 points off Hufflepuff. Don't try that again." He stood up, and pointed out that the potion was called the Draught of the Living Dead. "What do you suppose this potion does?" He asked, and peered around the room.

October winced at Evvie, it was her first day back and she was already in so much trouble. "nice try" she muttered giving her a comforting smile.
She raised her hand nervously, ProfessorSnape looked at her, "it's a potion that when used puts the drinker into a sleep, like a living death, if it is incorrectly made the drinker may never wake up" she answered promtly

Evvie shrugged her shoulders, though she was impressed by the Professor's reflexes. She continued on with her notes and listened as October answered the moody professor's question.
Draught of the Living Death? This did not sound like a potion that Evvie wanted to learn how to do. Why couldn't they do something fun? She let out a silent sigh and began twirling her short pink hair around her finger.

Andie finished writing the notes on the board and looked up in time to witness Evvie try to use the cheering charm on Professor Snape. Afterwards, when he had asked about the draught of the living dead, Andie raised her hand to answer, but October had beat her to it. Oh, joy, she thought sarcastically. That question told her exactly what kind of potion they would be making, or at least, gave her an idea about the lesson for today.

Professor Snape ordered the class to begin their potions and sat down at his desk and continued what ever he was doing before the class had apparently interupted him.
October grinned at Evvie who was still writing down her notes "I'l get your ingredients for you" she offered then almost pranced to the store cupboard. She returned, her arms full of lace wing flies, sopophorous beans, daisy rooots and other ingredients, after handing Evvie hers she began to crush the beans with the edge of her knife humming happily to herself.
October inspected her potion, it was now a light lilac colour, she smiled happily, she looked over at Andie, hers too was lilac, it seemed Andie was as enthusiastic about potions as October was.
Suddenly there was a loud band and a cracking noise,and the air was filled with a sickly haze that made her eyes water, October jumped looking round in shock to see what the source of the noise was.

Evvie began mixing her potion, humming a tune quietly as she did it. She wasn't really paying much attention to her measurements and added too many daisy roots. All of a sudden her potion turned a bright green color and started bubbling, then the loud BANG! came. The potion exploded.
"Oopsy," Evvie said with a giggle.

October giggled when she seen Evvie, her hair was sticking up on its ends and covered with a green soot. "Here, let me help you" she said grinning, she cleared Evvies potion's mess up and began helping her prepare new ingredients. "You know, with that colour hair you could be a toad" she chuckled.
"Speaking of toads, how're you getting back at Umbridge?" October asked, her own potion was now clear and so she filled her flask with the liquid, ready to hand in at the end of class.

Evvie giggled and said "Ribbit," when October said she could be a toad. Finally, when all the mess was cleaned up, and October asked how Evvie was going to get even with Umbridge, Evvie's smile widened.
"Lets just say that tonight she's really going to croak." Evvie replied with a giggle.

October looked at Evvie curiously, but decided not to question her more, she had a feeling that she would find out what Evvie was up to sooner or later.
The two girls put their flasks of potion on Snape's desk just as the bell signaling end of class went and left the dungeons chatting happily with Illyanna, Luna and Andie about Evvie's exploding potion and what the rest of day might bring.

Andie began to mix her potion quietly, when suddenly, she heard a bang. She quickly began turning around, eyes scanning the room. She soon saw that it came from Evvie, who had incorrectly mixed her potion. She shook her head and turned back to her own potion until she had finished it correctly.

The bang made Erin jump, she looked up and sure enough Neville, was covered in green soot with smoke billowing out of his singed hair. Apparantly Snape had done this class with the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws the day before and he didn't look too pleased. She shuddered and then her eyes widned as some chocolate she had sitting in her bag, hiding from her head of house had just jumped into the mixture during the explosion, No, No NO!! The draught turned brown for a second or two then went back to the lilac colour indicated in the book three stages ago. She stirred frantically while Snape breathed down the Gryffindors backs. Needless to say she feared for them, Snape had never picked on her personally, she liked to keep her head down in lessons, but she still knew how intimadating he could be, Over i the corner Neville whimpered. Well at least she could be sure that her potion wouldn't be the one to be put on test in front of the class, it would probably just kill someone, never mind putting them into a tame artificial sleep. Ugghh, potions... When she was little she was always fascinated by this subject, but now it was clear she had always had a misconception. She glance up at Snape, still on the other side of the room with an evil glint in his eye as he looked down at Neville's congealed mess. Poor Neville... But she shouldn't think that, she was Slytherin for gods sake, but still...
