Harry found himself looking forward to Potions each week. Professor Flaumel had returned for a second year, and was continuing to teach the nutrient potions and exercises, as well as several other useful potions. The students were broken up into the same groups as the year before, but, this time Harry was amused to see, several of the "control" group were asking for the nutrient potions and the exercises, the main exceptions being Draco and Crabbe, who just sat together at the back of the classroom, making smart remarks and just barely getting by.
