Some transcription...early drafts of PS and Revision of OotP
large and gloomy dungeon, lined with glass jars. Some held brilliant, jewel-colored liquids, (illegible), pickled roots, and various bits of creatures.
Harry changed his mind about Snape. At the Start of Term Banquet he had got the idea that Snape didn’t like him. Now After his very first Potions lesson he knew he had been wrong (written above: he was wrong to think Snape didn’t like him - Snape hated him.). Snape didn’t dislike Harry - he hated him.
As he called the register at the start of their first lesson, together Snape glanced up to look at each student as they answered, “Yes, sir.” When Harry answered, Snape’s black eyes flashed as he stared at him for a long while and a twisted smile twisted his thin mouth.
“Ah, yes, Potter,” he said. “Dr. Flitwick Our new - ah - celebrity.”
Draco Spungen snorted loudly and Harry flushed with anger. The first-year Gryffindors and Slytherins had (illegible) together which gave the Gryffindors the chance to (illegible) the truth of what everyone said about Snape, that he was vicious to everyone except the members of his House.
When he had Snape finished taking the register, Snape cast a long look around at the twenty students, his black eyes glittering addressed his new students.
“Potions,” he said. “You are here to learn the subtle science and exact artistry of potion-making. No bangs and sparkles As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. How very few of you cloth-headed young dolts will apprec understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron and its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that steal through human veins, bewitching the body and ensnaring the mind. I can teach you how to bottle fame and glory, decant power, stopper death - but how few of you dunderheads will be able to learn.”
Snape paused and his glittering black eyes (illegible: roved over the class?). No one spoke or moved. Snape was one of those teachers whose silences you didn’t break. Hermione Granger, (illegible)
a fat kind of cactus in the corner of the greenhouse which moaned in a feeble sort of voice that its spines were aching.
Quirrell’s classes were a bit of a joke. Everyone was hoping for gruesome, spine-chilling classes on Dark Magic but with Quirrell in charge they couldn’t somehow get in properly the right mood. His classroom smelled strongly of garlic. The story went that ever since a narrow escape from a vampire in Romania Quirrell had lived in fear that it would come and get him. He seemed almost as frightened of his students as the trolls, werewolves, and hags he was teaching them(?) about; Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas had a bet on to see how long Quirrell would stutter over a single word in each lesson.
Madame McGonagle, who taught transfiguration, was as different from Quirrell as it was possible to be. (illegible) She was very strict and allowed no messing about.
“Transfiguration is one of the most difficult and dangerous kinds of magic,” she told them in their first lesson. “Anyone playing the fool will leave my class and not come back.” (illegible)
Then she demonstrated how to turn a desk into a pig and back again. They were all very impressed. As Percy Weasley had predicted, however, she gave them a single match and told them they would first be learning how to turn them into needles. It really was horribly difficult. After two lessons only Hermione Granger had managed to make any difference to her match. Madam McGonagle showed the class how Hermione’s match had gone pointed and silvery and Hermione beamed at the praise.
And then there was Snape, who taught potions
EDIT: Now includes Revision of OotP; firehead (I'm assuming) means sticking your head in the fire, Floo powder and all that. Sorry for the sloppy cut and paste job on the second part of the chart, the rows are subtly off for some reason...
ETA: Certain corrections:
In the first chart, Ch. 13 plot: "illegible" is "injuries" (ie. Hagrid fresh injuries)
2nd chart, Ch. 16 Cho/Ginny: "faker?" is "father"
2nd chart, Ch. 13 Hagrid + Grawp: "illegible" is "injured" (Hagrid still being injured)
2nd chart, Ch. 14 DA: "really (illegible)" is "reading" and a crossed-out word
Possibilities for illegible words:
2nd chart, Ch. 24 Hagrid + Grawp: "illegible" is possibly "clinging" (ie. Hagrid clinging to his job)
1st chart, Ch. 22 Plot: "HRH go to (warn) Hagrid (on) Umbridge" is "go to warn Hagrid of Umbridge"
