I was in Potion's class, last class of the day, and, against all my luck, Snape had seated me with two of Slytherin's meanest bullies.
Scorpius and Prospus, inseparable and vicious. I think the only thing they were good for was possibly mercenaries. They weren't very bright.
Anyway, we were all trying to brew a de-aging potion. Snape, as usual, had written instructions on the board and was now ignoring us. I sighed and got to work chopping ingredients.
Scorpius snorted. "Look at Oleander! Such a little bookworm!"
I glared at him. "You know, you could try helping."
Prospus chuckled. Honestly, third years should not chuckle!
"And why would we do that?" He asked.
I sighed. Looks like I'll end up doing everything. Again.
Just then, someone appeared at our table. I looked up, and my jaw dropped.
Draco Malfoy, Slytherin Ice Prince, a seventh year! What did he want?
He grinned at us. I gulped. It was never good when a Slytherin grinned at you.
"Hey, I need you two to do me a favor." He was looking at the boys. Figures. Why would he have anything to do with a third year Griffindor girl? Humph.
They looked interested. "What?"
"I need to distract Sev. Light these firecrackers and throw them into the center of the classroom." Draco said, holding out what looked to be Weasley twin products.
The two were hesitant. "I-interrupt Snape's class?"
Draco looked frustrated. "Yes, do it!"
I rolled my eyes. Don't trust those two with anything, Malfoy.
I swiped the firecrackers from Draco's hand. Quickly whispering a lighting spell, I chucked them to the left and covered my ears.
A loud explosion followed. The two idiots just looked at me as pandemonium erupted.
Students screamed. Cauldrons boiled over. Snape stood in alarm, yelling at the Griffindors.
Draco glanced at me. "Well, aren't you the little daredevil. Thanks, kid." And with that, he ran behind Snape, who was too busy to notice him, and snatched something off his desk.
As Snape turned around, he ducked and rolled under the table, standing up on the other side and dashing out the door.
Needless to say, class ended early.
