The first period class of potions in the morning was always the worst for Brittany S Pierce the 5th year Hufflepuff. It was too early in the morning for her. She sighed and sat down with the little energy she had, moving her blonde bangs away from her ocean blue eyes. Tina Coheed Chang, a 5th year Ravenclaw sat beside her and Kurt Hummel a 7th year Gryffindor on the opposite side.
"Brittany did you get the notes on the potion we were doing last class" Kurt whispered quietly.
"I started to, but I ended up making notes for my own potion instead. It makes you turn into a magical unicorn!" Brittany said proudly.
"..Alright then..." Kurt replied, knowing that she wasn't serious about her little potion idea.
More students flooded into the dungeon classroom, but only one caught Brittany's eye.
Santana Lopez, a 5th year Slytherin. She has long raven black hair, and a sun kissed skin tone. Brittany has been admiring her for along time now but never had the courage to say anything. Slytherins generally don't appreciate Hufflepuffs.
Santana sat down and exhaled. She didn't mind this class, and it was the one that had that really cute Hufflepuff girl she had been admiring for a while. She didn't mind that she was a mudblood, which most of her kind wasn't so easy going about. She just saw a happy, kind hearted girl.
Snape walked into the classroom and stood at the front, with his normal blank expression face.
"Class, today we will be working on a babbling beverage brew, so I'm going to be putting you all in groups." He said with a bored tone to his voice, which isn't unusual.
Brittany suddenly smiled; it was a chance to meet Santana Lopez.
"Tina and Finn"
"Kurt and Mercedes"
"Quinn and Artie"
"Brittany and …Santana."
Brittany's heart thumped, it couldn't stop beating. 'This is it!' she thought. She was so overwhelmed she was smiling from ear to ear.
Santana looked over at her and her eyebrow raised curiously.
"Alright, now that everyone is paired up, get going." Snape said in his monotone voice.
Brittany stood up with great enthusiasm and grabbed all of her materials need for the potion, and all of her books, and walked over to sit by Santana.
Santana pulled over a chair and made space for the other girl, when another Slytherin named Karofsky yelled.
"Hey San! Working with a moodblood aren't ya?"
Brittany stopped, tears started to flood to her eyes. She wasn't ashamed of whom she was, but she was still really sensitive about the prejudism.
"Fuck off Karofsky Santana snapped back with the look of daggers in her eyes.
"…What's wrong with you…"Karofsky muttered and walked off.
Brittany gave her a thankful look and sat down beside her, and place her materials and books on the desk.
"Thanks." Brittany said shyly.
"It's no problem." Santana answered nervously. 'Get it together Lopez, you're usually calm and collected!' she thought.
The potion brewing went along well. Brittany was a little clueless but Santana helped her out, and was very kind about it. She didn't rush or get mad at her for her slowness. It made Brittany kind of happy. Santana grinned at Brittany's reaction when she added the herb, which made a colourful cloud of smoke appear. They were adding the finishing touches of the potion when they both leaned into do it, and their hands brushed each other.
Instantly they both pulled back, and both faces turned into a light shade of pink.
Santana got her composure back and added the final touches, and then they handed it into Snape, and the bell rang.
"I'll see you around!" Brittany said cheerfully.
"Yeah, I'd like that." Santana replied quietly.
