The second year students of Slytherin and Gryffindor stood in front of the Potions room door. On either side, glaring at each other waiting for their Professor. Thankfully they didn’t have to wait long before the doors to the classroom opened. Severus Snape ushered them in and ordered them to stand along the wall, quickly and quietly."This year is going to be different. After I graded your results from last years class, I sat down and made a setting plan." Loud groans came from the Gryffindors at the latest announcement."Silence!" Severus snarled."I am placing you with others to help your studies and to put a stop to sabotage. Yes I noticed every incident last year" he glared at Henry and Ron when he said this."You will be paired with people based on your knowledge, patience, and compatibility." He stated."Right, the first pairing will be in the front seats on the right." he said leaving a pause, enjoying the Gryffindors shuffling in their seats.
