"Okay, now pay very special attention to this part of the recipe. If you don't, your potion will-" Megan didn't hear the rest of what Professor Slughorn was saying. She zoned out the minute Scorpius Malfoy entered the room, late as looked around to see who he would be paired with; all the other students had a partner, except for her. She silently squealed to herself with the thought."Ah, Mr. Malfoy, you can partner with... let me see... Miss McCarry. Yes, now please sit down.""Her? A Gryffindor? You must be joking!" He and a few other Slytherins snickered. Meghan ran from the room, tears in her eyes."Mr. Malfoy, I am most certainly not joking. Twenty points from Slytherin for disobedience and tardiness. You may also go search for Miss McCarry as well, apologize and make sure she gets back to class." Slughorn pointed towards the had made her way to the Great Hall and was sitting down at Gryffindor table. Scorpius, after climbing several staircases and searching half the castle, found her almost near lunchtime, thank God for double potions, (not!) so they didn't miss any other classes. "C'mon, get up. Slughorn'll take off more points if we don't make it back before class is over." He yelled this at her quite loudly."NO. You can't hurt me like that and not get any repercussions." She screamed back equally as loud. She just sat there, refusing to budge. "Well, he took twenty points, good enough for you?" He sat down next to her."No, points don't mean anything to you! You know you'll win them back next Quidditch game. You know how good you are at it, losing points and winning more back. You don't feel bad or anything, you just feel bored at having potions.""How do you know about my Quidditch scores? Your head's always in a book. Or do you watch me? Do you?" He had come to that realization and hoped her answer was yes, he was sick of appearances."No-o-o..." Her voice quivered and he knew he caught her."Liar, that's why you want an apology so bad, you like me." To prove it he kissed her. He felt her kiss back and he knew he won. They pulled apart shortly."You kissed me... which must mean that you like me as well... do you?"He answered her with a kiss while standing up and pulling her to potions with him.
