Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

Ginny was enjoying her food when she felt a small tingle in her head, Harry told her he'd explain later so she left it at that. Looking around, she was amazed at how great her life is right now. She had always dreamed of going to Hogwarts and marrying Harry Potter when she was younger, and now thanks to a certain young man both, dreams had come true or at least one had and the other was going to come true.

She knows it wouldn't be all fun, Harry had stressed that when he asked for her decision on whether or not she wanted to stay with him. She knew he was right and that there were lots of risks, but she was going to do it anyway. Harry Potter, to her at least was worth it. The two gulped down their food and after greeting a few of the ghosts, they were taken to their dormitories. Neither slept well that night as Hermione decided to constantly bug Ginny for information about Harry as if he was one big mystery she could solve whilst Ron had decided to try and befriend Harry. Ginny and Harry decided to take the old fashioned approach of pretending to fall asleep.

.....

The next day the two woke up early and headed to the great hall, Professor McGonagall seemed very pleased by how early the two were because it seemed like all the head of houses were awake and that was it. She gave the two of them their timetables, Harry didn't really care what lessons he had as long as he was with Ginny he didn't really care. He and Ginny soared through the classes, transfiguration was fun as Professor McGonagall gave Harry ten points for recognising her in her cat form before everyone else which he particularly enjoyed doing as everyone thought he was mad until she transformed back. Seeing Ron late was amusing and Harry took great pleasure in showing up Hermione by having himself and Ginny transform the needles on their first go which earned them twenty points each.

Hermione was furious and Harry could tell, Harry had hypothesised that she was trying to either do better than them or figure out something wrong with theirs. Unfortunately, she was too focused on that too get her own right. Neville wasn't doing too bad, after Harry whispered words of encouragement to him he had managed to do it right. When Hermione asked what he had said and Neville replied with the words 'Be confident, you can do it' she glared at all three of them. Neville looked frightened whilst Harry and Ginny looked amused.

"Miss Granger would you like to give me a reason as to why you're trying to see through Mr Potter and Mr's Weasleys head?" Hermione had turned from her glaring to find the stern professor looking at her.

"No Professor" Hermione nervously shook her head

"Well it seemed important enough for you to not focus on your work and also scare Mr Longbottom, Mr Longbottom ten points for your transformation and Mr Potter another five points for helping Mr Longbottom. Miss Granger, ten points for disturbing other students" And with that she walked off. Harry and Ginny soon found themselves in potions, Harry and Ginny sat together, unfortunately Ron and Hermione sat on each of their sides.

Professor Snape walked in, his cape billowing behind him, most found that impressive except for Harry who noticed him sliding a wand back into his sleeves. Snape walked with a no nonsense attitude that demanded respect from everyone in attendance. He looked around when he saw Mr Potter, who he had to admit was quite a fascination for him. From what little he saw of him he could see that Potter was well capable of showing off but he didn't, at least excluding that jump at the ceremony but he couldn't blame him for that as the dunderheads weren't moving out of the way. He'd do it himself if capable, all of his teachers had glowing recommendations for him and yet he doesn't seem to interact with any students for longer than he needs to. Except of course for Miss Weasley. Snape saw James Potter's face and his hair, but Lilly's eyes and an attitude that seemed to draw from both. Snape began to explain potions to them knowing that none of them would probably last five minutes.

"Alright class pop quiz, Mr Potter, tell me what will I get if I add Powdered Root of Asphodel to an infusion of Wormwood?" Miss Granger's hand shot up, Potter however looked on with a neutral face, void of any emotions."

"The Draught of Living Death sir" he answered

"Where would you look if I tell you to find me a Bezoar?"

"The stomach of a goat, research suggest mountain ones work best but any will get the job done"

"Final question Mr Potter, What is the difference between Monkshood and Wolfsbane?" There was no way he could get this.

"There isn't one sir, they're the same plant and can also be known as aconite."
