I even started my Patron page and the love you showed me is going to be remembered for long. I thank you all for staying with me all this time and hope you stay with me for the years to come.

Discussion and Discovery

Harry, Padma and Terry entered the dingy and smoky Potions class to see Snape leering at them as soon as they entered.

Harry didn't mind the grease ball, so he went to his seat without much trouble as other Ravenclaw's and Slytherin's settled in as the class was about to get started and first came the roll call.

Harry knew the grease ball won't let this slide and will attempt to take as many points as he can from Ravenclaw and he was prepared.

"Harry Potter. Ah, the new Heir." Started Snape, as Harry expected. "Tell me, Potter, do you know anything about the House you were the Heir off or its nobility?" He asked with a sneer, Harry didn't respond, not that he was given such luxury.

"What can a good for nothing, useless, stupid, big-headed dunderhead like you know about Houses and their Noble history," he asked, daring Harry to talk.

"Ancient and Noble houses are revered in our society and I feel by accepting as it's Heir, House Potter might have lost all the name it once had.

Though I doubt that it has any good name in the first place considering who your father is and what he had done in the past," Snape scoffed.

"First you change your House by blackmailing the Headmaster and now you cheat to get money, which doesn't belong to you?" Asked Snape, practically shouting in Harry's face.

"Aren't you feeling proud with all that money you won in that trial by cheating? I know you were. Why shy away, show us," he asked(more like demanded).

Harry just sat in his seat, Padma beside him. He knew how to get back at Snape and with just a gesture of his hand, the scene reversed.

"Let's start," said Snape and the chalk started to write the instructions for a Potion on board. Snape was looking around like a hawk as if daring anyone to make a move.

But in a most unexpected turn of events, the Potter boy turned to his side to talk to another one of his illiterate he called his housemate and he snatched the opportunity.

"Po-Malfoy!" Shouted Snape. Draco, who was sleeping because of all the detentions and strain he was going through, woke up with a jolt, hitting Crab and Goyle, who were covering him.

"Tell me what is the word for Dunderhead in French!" He shouted. Malfoy was looking at him, genuinely lost.

"What are you starting at, answer my question!" pressed Snape while Malfoy was still lost.

"10 fr-to Ravenclaw for neatly dressing." He said, pointing to Anthony Goldstein, who was surprised by Snape's sudden attention.

"20 points to-from Slytherin for laughing in the class," started Snape pointing to Nott who was laughing at Malfoy's lost expression.

"What are you gawking at? Answer my question," yelled Snape. Malfoy opened his mouth.

"Quite. What is the Latin word Wolfsbane?" He fired again.

"What are the dark creatures which can change on full moon's conditions called?"

"Why are you all looking as if it is a circus? Write it down!" Barked Snape and everyone started writing what the greasy professor said till now.

What followed was Slytherin tasting their own medicine. Snape started to take points for normal things they do in class.
