In Thrall

Seventh year Gryffindor Harry Potter had finished slicing his water lily tendrils and had just picked them up to drop into his potion when Professor Snape suddenly hovered over him berating him, for not slicing them thin enough. Just then they both heard a soft "Oops" and the contents of Neville Longbottom's cauldron, right next to Harry's, burped a huge glop of sludge right onto the back of Snape's outstretched hand. The Professor froze for a moment, building up a good head of steam before turning to properly berate the walking disaster, and the lime green goop dripped off the tip of his pointing finger into the palm of Harry's hand, which was still holding the sliced tendrils. The rest of the class saw the blood drain out of Professor Snape's face as Harry's eyes became vacant. In a very strained and quiet voice, the Potions Master said, "Mr. Finnigan, get Professor Dumbledore as quickly as you can."
