"Love Potions are brews which cause the drinker to become infatuated or obsessed with the person who gave it to her/him. Love potions are considered to be power and highly dangerous. Amortentia is the most powerful love potion in existence." Snape droned, "We will be studying it and then brewing it. And if I hear one inappropriate giggle, you will be given a toothbrush and be sent to the trophy room."
Everyone shut up immediately, and stopped thinking about what they could do with the most powerful love potion. Meanwhile Harry was struggling to keep his eyes open, Snape's lectures could quite literally bore anyone to death. He looked over at Malfoy next to him, even Malfoy looked bored out of his mind. Harry was surprised that Snape had decided to make him and Malfoy potions partners for the year, he had assumed Snape had given up on forcing them to work together after 7 years.
Finally Snape finished his lecture, and instructed them to make doxycide for reasons that were only known to Snape. During the first week of school after their potion had exploded for the fourth time, Harry and Malfoy had come to an agreement, Harry would gather the ingredients, and Draco would mix them, and if need be, test it. Since their agreement, their potions began to turn out well, with less disastrous results. Harry got up and gathered their ingredients from the cabinet, he laid out each one-somewhat-carefully on the table.
Okay, doxycide. I just finished with the steeler venom, so what next? Cowbane essence? Harry thought. He began to reach for the cowbane essence when he was interrupted,
"Dragon liver, Potter! Dragon liver!" Draco snapped, still managing to keep stirring the potion, 5 times clockwise. One, two, three.
"Five points from Gryffindor for your insolence, Potter!" Snape said from across the room.
Harry glared at Draco as he added the dragon liver to the doxycide.
"Honestly Potter, why are you even taking this class?" Draco asked, sneering slightly.
"I need this class to graduate. Sorry if I don't live up to your expectations, your pratness." Harry snapped.
Draco didn't say much after that, the rest of the class went smoothly until…
BOOM! BOOM!Their potion flew everywhere.
The room was silent.
Until…
"20 points from Gryffindor for destroying Mr. Malfoy's potion, Potter!" Snape roared, "And I'll see you after class for your detention!"
Harry glared, while Draco grinned in satisfaction next to him.
Snape handed a mop to Harry,
"I want it clean in an hour." He ordered before sweeping from the room.
Harry grumbled as he mopped his ruined potion off the stone floor, cursing Snape and Draco in his head.
Suddenly he heard,
"Well if it isn't Potty moping the floors!"
Harry jumped and looked up, Peeves hovered above him.
"Perhaps you need more to clean!" Peeves snickered, and knocked a row of potions onto the floor.
"Stop! PLEASE! Snape will kill me!" Harry pleaded.
Peeves didn't answer, he simply knocked over a shelf of about 100 multi-colored potions. They crashed to the floor, hissing, and bubbling as they mixed together.
Harry didn't even hear Snape enter until the potions master yelled, "PEEVES!"
"I-It wasn't m-me." Harry stammered.
"I can see that, you idiot! Get out before I reconsider having you clean this mess up too!" Snape snapped.
Harry didn't respond he just ran out of the classroom, thankful to be away from Snape's fury.
He walked down the corridor towards the Gryffindor common room, when suddenly the floor beneath him seemed to open up under him.
The last thing he heard was the sound of a bone breaking before everything when black.
