I thought this up while I was eating lunch and scrolling through instagram so I wrote it. I own nothing!

Snape strode into class with a wicked grin on his face. Normally Draco would love that grin, because it would mean trouble for the Gryffindors, but his godfather was looking at him with that grin and it didn't sit right in his gut.

"Today we will be doing something different." Snape paused dramatically, the obnoxious git. "I do not care to spend any longer than I have to grading your mostly likely dismal potions so you will work with the student whose grade is most similar to yours."

Draco relaxed and tuned out, Zambini was the closest to him so they should be fine. The boys shared a grin between themselves and waited to see what they would be making. As Snape called out the pairs Draco kept half an ear out for his name as he doodled on his parchment. "… and Draco Malfoy." Wait what? Who was his partner? Draco scanned the room, but all he saw was a collective look of horror from the Golden Trio. Shite, who'd his god awful godfather pair him with?

Draco's heart fell to his feet when none other than the Gryffindor Princess stood. He sighed and watched the witch cross the room with his patented sneer in place. She sat down as far away from him as she possibly could and didn't look at him. After Snape, who Draco is sure planned this on purpose, finished pairing everyone off he sat down at his desk and said. "You are making Amortentia. Go."

The Mudblood raised her hand. "Professor Snape? Shouldn't we be doing something more befitting our year? We've made Amortentia before during…" She trailed off under Snape's scowl.

"Well Miss Granger, while I am sure that you can make this particular potion with your eyes closed, some of your classmates would not fail to blow anything more difficult up and I do not want to deal with that presently. Now begin."

Hermione sighed and began to prepare the ingredients. They would occasionally bump hands as they worked together and Draco would scowl as his stomach fluttered in… revulsion. Hermione cleaned up the work space as Draco added the last ingredient. He leaned over the cauldron and smelled the same things he did when he first made the potion, but now he could also faintly smell parchment. Draco stiffened. He did not smell parchment because it reminded him of Granger. He smelled it for some other reason he could not think of right now.

Hermione gave the cauldron a small smile of approval before she leaned over and smelled it. She nodded and mumbled to herself, "Grass, parchment, spearmint." She frowned slightly and continued quieter. "Ron is missing though." Draco could not help the feeling of joy that Weasley is not in the line up. He scowled at himself and they waited for class to be over.

After class was over Draco left as quickly as he could without seeming strange. He ended up missing seeing the look of horror on Hermione's face when she sniffed the cauldron again and could still smell Draco's cologne.

I'm going to do a confrontation part later today. I would do it now but I have work. Boo work :(
