   POTTER STINKS!
   
   The Slytherins howled with laughter。 Each of them pressed their badges too; until the message POTTER STINKS was shining brightly all around Harry。 He felt the heat rise in his face and neck。
   〃Oh very funny;〃 Hermione said sarcastically to Pansy Parkinson and her gang of Slytherin girls; who were laughing harder than anyone; 〃really witty。〃
   Ron was standing against the wall with Dean and Seamus。 He wasn't laughing; but he wasn't sticking up for Harry either。
   〃Want one; Granger?〃 said Malfoy; holding out a badge to Hermione。 〃I've got loads。 But don't touch my hand; now。 I've just washed it; you see; don't want a Mudblood sliming it up。〃
   Some of the anger Harry had been feeling for days and days seemed to burst through a dam in his chest。 He had reached for his wand before he'd thought what he was doing。 People all around them scrambled out of the way; backing down the corridor。
   〃Harry!〃 Hermione said warningly。
   〃Go on; then; Potter;〃 Malfoy said quietly; drawing out his own wand。 〃Moody's not here to look after you now…do it; if you've got the guts…〃
   For a split second; they looked into each other's eyes; then; at exactly the same time; both acted。
   〃Funnunculus!〃 Harry yelled。
   〃Densaugeo!〃 screamed Malfoy。
   Jets of light shot from both wands; hit each other in midair; and ricocheted off at angles…Harry's hit Goyle in the face; and Malfoy's hit Hermione。 Goyle bellowed and put his hands to his nose; where great ugly boils were springing up…Hermione; whimpering in panic; was clutching her mouth。
   〃Hermione!〃
   Ron had hurried forward to see what was wrong with her; Harry turned and saw Ron dragging Hermione's hand away from her face。 It wasn't a pretty sight。 Hermione's front teeth…already larger than average…were now growing at an alarming rate; she was looking more and more like a beaver as her teeth elongated; past her bottom lip; toward her chin…panic…stricken; she felt them and let out a terrified cry。
   〃And what is all this noise about?〃 said a soft; deadly voice。
   Snape had arrived。 The Slytherins clamored to give their explanations; Snape pointed a long yellow finger at Malfoy and said; 〃Explain。〃
   〃Potter attacked me; sir…〃
   〃We attacked each other at the same time!〃 Harry shouted。
   〃and he hit Goyle…look…〃
   Snape examined Goyle; whose face now resembled something that would have been at home in a book on poisonous fungi。
   〃Hospital wing; Goyle;〃 Snape said calmly。
   〃Malfoy got Hermione!〃 Ron said。 〃Look!〃
   He forced Hermione to show Snape her teeth…she was doing her best to hide them with her hands; though this was difficult as they had now grown down past her collar。 Pansy Parkinson and the other Slytherin girls were doubled up with silent giggles; pointing at Hermione from behind Snape's back。
   Snape looked coldly at Hermione; then said; 〃I see no difference。〃。
   Hermione let out a whimper; her eyes filled with tears; she turned on her heel and ran; ran all the way up the corridor and out of sight。
   It was lucky; perhaps; that both Harry and Ron started shouting at Snape at the same time; lucky their voices echoed so much in the stone corridor; for in the confused din; it was impossible for him to hear exactly what they were calling him。 He got the gist; however。
   〃Let's see;〃 he said; in his silkiest voice。 〃Fifty points from Gryffindor and a detention each for Potter and Weasley。 Now get inside; or it'll be a week's worth of detentions。〃
   Harry's ears were ringing。 The injustice of it made him want to curse Snape into a thousand slimy pieces。 He passed Snape; walked with Ron to the back of the dungeon; and slammed his bag down onto the table。 Ron was shaking with anger too…for a moment; it felt as though everything was back to normal between them; but then Ron turned and sat down with Dean and Seamus instead; leaving Harry alone at his table。 On the other side of the dungeon; Malfoy turned his back on Snape and pressed his badge; smirking。 POTTER STINKS flashed once more across the room。
   Harry sat there staring at Snape as the lesson began; picturing horrific things happening to him。。。 If only he knew how to do the Cruciatus Curse。。。 he'd have Snape flat on his back like that spider; jerking and twitching。
   〃Antidotes!〃 said Snape; looking around at them all; his cold black eyes glittering unpleasantly。 〃You should all have prepared your recipes now。 I want you to brew them carefully; and then; we will be selecting someone on whom to test one。。。〃
   Snape's eyes met Harry's; and Harry knew what was ing。 Snape was going to poison him。 Harry imagined picking up his cauldron; and sprinting to the front of the class; and bringing it down on Snape's greasy head…And then a knock on the dungeon door burst in on Harry's thoughts。
   It was Colin Creevey; he edged into the room; beaming at Harry; and walked up to Snape's desk at the front of the room。
   〃Yes?〃 said Snape curtly。
   〃Please; sir; I'm supposed to take Harry Potter upstairs。〃 Snape stared down his hooked nose at Colin; whose smile faded from his eager face。
   〃Potter has another hour of Potions to plete;〃 said Snape coldly。 〃He will e upstairs when this class is finished。〃
   Colin went pink。
   〃Sir…sir; Mr。 Bagman wants him;〃 he said nervously。 〃All the champions have got to go; I think they want to take photographs。。。〃
   Harry would have given anything he owned to have stopped Colin saying those last few words。 He chanced half a glance at Ron; but Ron was staring determinedly at the ceiling。
   〃Very well; very well;〃 Snape snapped。 〃Potter; leave your things here; I want you back down here later to test your antidote。〃
   〃Please; sir…he's got to take his things with him;〃 squeaked Cohn。 〃All the champions。。。〃
   〃Very well!〃 said Snape。 〃Potter…take your bag and get out of my sight!〃
   Harry swung his bag over his shoulder; got up; and headed for the door。 As he walked through the Slytherin desks; POTTER STINKS flashed at him from every direction。
   〃It's amazing; isn't it; Harry?〃 said Colin; starting to speak the moment Harry had closed the dungeon door behind him。 〃Isn't it; though? You being champion?〃
   〃Yeah; really amazing;〃 said Harry heavily as they set off toward the steps into the entrance hall。 〃What do they want photos for; Colin?〃
   〃The Daily Prophet; I think!〃
   〃Great;〃 said Harry dully。 〃Exactly what I need。 More publicity。〃
   〃Good luck!〃 said Colin when they had reached the right room。 Harry knocked on the door and entered。
   He was in a fairly small classroom; most of the desks had been pushed away to the back of the room; leaving a large space in the middle; three of them; however; had been placed end…to…end in front of the blackboard and covered with a long length of velvet。 Five chairs had been set behind the velvet…covered desks; and Ludo Bagman was sitting in one of them; talking to a witch Harry had never seen before; who was wearing magenta robes。
   Viktor Krum was standing moodily in a corner as usual and not talking to anybody。 Cedric and Fheur were in conversation。 Fheur looked a good deal happier than Harry had seen her so far; she kept throwing back her head so that her long silvery hair caught the light。 A paunchy man; holding a large black camera that was smoking slightly; was watching Fleur out of the corner of his eye。
   Bagman suddenly spotted Harry; got up quickly; and bounded forward。
   〃Ah; here he is! Champion number four! In you e; Harry; in you e。。。 nothing to worry about; it's just the wand weighing ceremony; the rest of the judges will be here in a moment…〃
   〃Wand weighing?〃 Harry repeated nervously。
   〃We have to check that your wands are fully functional; no problems; you know; as they're your most important tools in the tasks ahead;〃 said Bagman。 〃The expert's upstairs now with Dumbledore。 And then there's going to be a little photo shoot。 This is Rita Skeeter;〃 he added; gesturing toward the witch in magenta robes。 〃She's doing a small piece on the tournament for the Daily Prophet。。。〃
   〃Maybe not that small; Ludo;〃 said Rita Skeeter; her eyes on Harry。
   Her hair was set in elaborate and curiously rigid curls that contrasted oddly with her heavy…jawe
