The next day, in the double class of potions with Slyterin's, Snape was in a dog mood and devoted himself to taking points out of his own house! Instead with Hufflepuff he ended up giving away the same amount of points. They all wondered if the professor hadn't gone mad and tried to look not too happy about winning the cup, just in case.
“Miss Deetz, stay after class," Snape told Lydia, when she gave her sample of her potion before ending the class.
“I'll wait for you outside, Lydia," Percy said to her.
“Thank you, I hope I won't be long.”
Snape, once alone with Lydia, sent her to the seat with a dry wiggle of his head.
“I must congratulate you Miss Deetz for making the pathetic Hufflepuff team take the quidditch cup, do not expect to have the same luck with the cup of the house at the end of the course.”
“I am grateful for his words professor," said Lydia without flinching, after all she had always been challenged by the other people for her Gothic way of dressing," I regret that your house has not had the opportunity to show its so characteristic worth in the tournament," she said, looking him directly in the eye, something that no student did, not even the prefects or the annual prize.
“I dislike you Deetz, you think that simply coming to Hogwarts can turn everything upside down as you please.”
“Sir, I'm not trying to turn anything. My only intention is to make my house the best it can be. Isn't that what we all want?”
“Get out," Snape said.
Snape was confused, no student had ever said such a thing to him before, he knew that the girl's look and smile were sincere, for a moment he reminded her of Harry's mother. He decided to leave his office and when he opened the door he found that all the Hufflepuffs were right outside.
“What the hell are you doing here," the man barked at them.
“We're sorry, professor," said Percy, "we stayed to compare notes, we've already retired.”
Having said that, all the students withdrew in silence, Snape had a chill run down his back.

Lupin returned to give classes and to make up for lost time he decided to give double classes, this time it was Griffindor and Hufflepuff's turn.
The professor brought a new creature and both Lydia and Hermione earned points for their homes.
“Now I want you to come closer, Miss Deetz and show us what we learned in this class.”
“Yes, sir," Lydia replied, "Percy, please give me back my wand.”
“Oops, sorry I got distracted," Percy said very embarrassedly, Percy immediately turned into a cat and Lydia grabbed his tail and effortlessly detached.
The hairy tail stiffened and turned into the girl's wand. Both Lupin and the others were impressed, looked at Percy the cat again and saw that his tail had regenerated almost instantly, then Percy became a Cat Boy again.
“Ahem,” the teacher coughed for his students to focus on the class again.
The creature in question was a boggin he had brought from San Mungo, a donation to the hospital from the Mystery Department of the Ministry of Magic, and though invisible, Lupin asked Dumbledore to charm the creature into a semitransparent pink color.
Lydia pointed her wand at the amorphous creature and it began to move and in its body came out as green dots, at the same time that tentacles came out, it looked like a kind of mixture between an octopus, a squid and a jellyfish.
"As you can see, the boggin was subjected to a spell of happiness that bothers him, the boggins," Lydia continued explaining, "feed on feelings of discomfort and other similar feelings, in that they resemble dementors and just as these attack magicians and muggles alike. If a boggin is not stopped and remains feeding on a person, in the end he or she will develop a personality equal to the feeling that the boggin provided to his or her victim. If a boggin of sadness feeds on a man for a long time, that person who initially presented a picture of chronic depression, in the end will be with this same pathology even if the boggin abandons him or her. There are even cases in which the victims lose all will to live, this is also similar to the dementor's kiss."
“What is the dementor's kiss?” Hermione asked.
“The dementor's kiss is an action in which this creature opens its mouth toothless and tubular form and places it just above the mouth of the subject to perform this action, sucking the soul in this way. A body without a soul is still alive, it resembles being in a coma with the difference that the subject has a limited capacity for movement, always obedient to an external factor than internal. The Ministry of Magic applies the dementor's kiss to dangerous criminals," Lydia explained.
Hermione and the rest of the class, except Percy, made gross gestures at Lydia's explanation.
“Excellent as always Lydia, fifteen points for Hufflepuff, now to the practical demonstration, any volunteers?
Only Percy raised his hand animatedly, not even the bravery Griffindor encouraged students to offer themselves freely.
Lupin grabbed the boggin and placed it on Percy's head, then the Boggin unfolded two rare tentacles and tried to place them in the Cat Boy's ears.
“As you can see, the boggin tries to stick to his victim, watch how the tentacles want to penetrate the ear canal..." said Lupin as he grabbed Percy's ears and tried to turn them forward so that the whole class could see better.
“Nyajajaja, enough it tickles me," Percy laughed when Lupin touched his ears.
"Calm down, Mr. Percy" was trying to say Lupin, but Percy's tail was shaking nervously in the professor's face.
“How cute!” the girls said.
“No, please stop nyajajaja...”
Already tired, Lupin held Percy's tail and he bristled his hair, as well as the hairs on his tail, which moved it more strongly.
“Mr. Percy, please control yourself," Lupin said impatiently and proceeded to grasp the tip of his tail.
“NYAAA, do NOT touch that! That part is my erogenous zone," shouted Percy all red and Lupin let go of his tail as if it were a red-hot metal.
"Nya, how mean," said the Cat Boy while with sorrow and still embarrassed expression rubbed his tail.
“How cute!” the girls screamed again, this time including Hermione.
Lupin scratched his head, not knowing what to do.
How about if I offer myself as a volunteer professor," Lydia said amusingly.
Lupin accepted and placed the boggin on the girl's head.
“As you can see, the boggin tries to get his tentacles into Miss Deetz's ear canals, I know that you can't see very well, the best thing would have been to show this with Mr. Percy, but anyway," sighed Lupin funnyly.
“Are these things always hanging around?” Parvati asked nervously.
“That's right, and the worst thing is that they are undetectable by magicians and witches, and of course much worse by muggles. That is why since time immemorial both magicians and witches had a cat as a pet. The feline will always detect the boggin and attack him to save his masters.”
“Excuse me, professor," Percy raised his hand.
“What's the matter, Mr. Percy?” Lupin asked.
“I think you make a mistake, cats don't attack boggins to defend their masters, in fact we do that in order to protect our food suppliers who are humans, a cat that prides itself will never see his human as its owner, in fact we consider humans as our possession, well most good.”
“Umm, thank you for letting us know a fact we didn't know, ten points for Hufflepuff.”
“So you cats are in charge of defeating those monsters?” a Griffindor asked.
“Yes, otherwise our humans would fall into the vice of sadness for example.”
“Well, you didn't do a good job with Deetz," said Ron mockingly.
Lydia, who before didn't flinch at Snape, now looked surprised and somewhat sad.
“Weasley, it seems you got a big mouth boggin, 50 points less for Griffindor, and Weasley, you'll be punished with me.”
“Abnormal, imbecile, discriminator, jerk, cretin, insufferable mouth, racist...” Hermione whispered against Ron so that no one else would listen to her.
Harry shook his head and saw how Percy looked up at Ron, he was sure that if Lupin were not present, Percy would swoop into the redhead.
.

As Christmas approached, Percy met Harry near the dining room.
“Hello Harry," he said, "have you seen the potty head with tartar?”
“Whom?”
“You know...”
“JA,JA,JA” A laugh came up behind Harry, it was Malfoy with his two gorillas, “it is obvious that he refers to Ron's blood traitor, Ron's scaly, pissy-colored hair, stupid cracked head.”
“What! Look, Percy, I know that Ron sometimes talks without thinking first, but don't call him that.”
“Tell him how? The tartar can stick to a potty and not only serves to urinate, it can also be full of poop.”
Malfoy's laughter was raging, as were his lackeys.
“Retract yourself," Harry threatened him.
“Okay, I think I went over, I won't say him like that again," he said cheerfully to Harry and jumped into the big dining room.
The trio of snakes whispered to each other and looking up at Harry, they rushed into their common room. This gave Harry a bad feeling, he knew that Percy had planned all this, he met with him at the same time as Malfoy and his henchmen.
The cat boy would surely comply in not repeating the derogatory nickname, but the Slyterin were something else, he was sure that the common house of Slyterin would call Ron that way and he could do nothing to prevent it, while Percy would act like the good boy Hufflepuff that he was, could not say anything against Percy, nobody would believe him.
“The hat was right, he should have gone to Slyterin," Harry muttered to himself.
Upon arriving at the large dining room he saw how Percy, who was transformed into a domestic cat, was caressed by the entire female quidditch team.
“He's so cute.”
“And listen to his purr.”
“His whole body also vibrates when purring.”
“He's so soft.”
“Look at that face, he's adorable.”
Harry saw Percy the cat look up at him, but instead of a mocking or sarcastic look, he could see a look full of innocence and kindness. Harry shuddered and understood that Percy was someone you shouldn't be antagonistic to.
Lydia and Hermione talked lively as they watched entertainingly as Percy amused the Griffindor girls.
.
.
The Slyterin worked quickly to scare Harry away, and by the next morning they were all chanting to Ron things like: "hello, Mr. Strung Potty Head," or "that there's a potty head with tartar," or "you still don't take off the potty tartar," etc., etc.
Ron's face changed from white to red, depending on whether he was angry or embarrassed, even freshmen insulted him in his face and Filch pointed his finger at him and laughed more than anyone else.
Girls in every house didn't do anything to defend Ron because of the mean treatment he gave both Lydia and Hermione. Even Snape laughed when he saw the redhead in one of the empty corridors of the castle (he took advantage of the fact that no one was in sight).
Hermione tried to stop the teasing but did not achieve much. Only the Hufflepuffs stopped mocking because Lydia asked them.
Ron's brothers didn't help him much either, as they felt Ron had asked for it. Fortunately, the visit to Hogsmeade arrived early, and Hermione, Lydia and Percy (for Harry's concern) decided to accompany Ron to cheer him up a bit.
Close to the house of screams, friends watched the haunted structure.
“Do you want us to come closer?” Hermione asked.
“What about you, Lydia, are we getting close?” Percy asked.
“Of course, I don't see why not," said Lydia.
Then Percy hugged the two girls in a very sweet way, while Ron looked ashamed.
“I was referring to approaching the house," Hermione said nervously.
“Oh, I'm sorry, my fault," said Percy without letting the girls go.
“Let us go, Percy," Lydia said nervously.
“I don't want to," Percy said with a tender tone in his voice. Ron was becoming increasingly uncomfortable, and this is what Percy was planning, but of course, Malfoy had to be the fly in the soup...
The trio of snakes showed up (without forgetting to call Ron stringed pottery) and declared that they were going to sexually abuse poor Percy.
The girls forgetting how strong Percy was, stood in front of him to protect him, while in the process they pushed Ron aside and he fell on a pile of yellow snow.
When the three Slyterin approached the girls, Harry in his invisible cloak took care of them, while Ron spat in disgust at the snow filled with urine.
The girls laughed at the way the snakes fled from the place in terror, though Percy was probably laughing at something else. Friends went to the three brooms and once inside, Harry insisted on listening to a conversation between Minister Fudge and other people.
As the adults withdrew, Harry in tears of anger and helplessness told them the whole truth about Sirius Black and the death of his parents.
