My shoes make a loud thudding sound as I raced for my next class, Potions. I absolutely hate that subject, and to make it worse I was running really late! It's the only subject I'm not good at. I quickly stop at a mirror and check my hair, I look at my eyes and sigh at their yellowness, another reminder of what I was. Once I enter the dungeon I slow to a walk and try to calm my breathing before entering the room. I open the door quietly hoping that no one would hear me enter. But I was so wrong!
As soon as I put my hand on the doorknob practically everyone turned his or her head to the door. My face flushed and I nodded at Professor Slughorn then stood around his desk with everyone else.

"Ah, another late one. You must be Assyria, tell me do you have your textbook with you?" He asked.

"Um, yes I do," I smile and take out my small textbook to show him.

"Good, gather round" Then he gets back to talking about Love Potions.

I wobble over to the side of the cluster of students, and I realize that I'm standing next to Harry. I smile at him as he catches my gaze, he smiles back.

I didn't bother listening about professor Slughorn's speech on love potions because I know I will never need to ever make one. If I ever fall in love with someone I want him to love me back by himself. While the professor was rambling, I noticed that Harry was looking closely into his potions textbook.

"Now class, I want you all to smell this freshly brewed Love potion, it will reveal your true loves sent." He chuckles, and urges everyone to smell.

Once it's my turn to smell the potion I lean in close and take a good whiff. At first I smell:

Seaweed Crackers,

Fishy, tangy sea smell,

And a woody broomstick smell

"Ok class, I will assign you with partners and you will make a 'Living Death drought', the best potion will win the Good luck potion." Professor Slughorn beams. He starts walking around us, "You with you," he points at two Hufflepuffs," You and you, you and you and you two." He points at Harry and me.

Just great.

"So it seems we are partners again," He chuckles and leads me to an empty bench.

"Yep, whose book do you want to use?" I ask.

"Do you mind if we use mine, it has extra notes inside," He opens his textbook and I see what he means, the person who used it before had put in hints about every potion.

We open it up to the right page and get to work; instead of following the recipe we followed the notes. And it turned out really well, in fact when Professor came around, he declared us the winners. He handed me the good luck potion and I thanked him greatly.

"Here," I give Harry the potion, "If we didn't have your textbook then we wouldn't have won! You deserved it!"

"Are you sure? You played a big part in it." He hands it back.

"No, No! Keep it" I smile and shake my head.

"Ok fine," he gives in.

The bell rings. "Ok class dismissed!" Professor Slughorn shouts, "See you tomorrow!"

"Bye Harry!" I shout as I race through the door, I don't wait for a reply. As I wanted to use this free period with going to the lake. I enter the Ravenclaw common room and put my books in my trunk. Then I run out of the castle and walk down to the Black Lake.

I breathe in the salty air and feel at home. I make sure no one is here as I take off my school uniform and wad into the water slowly. Once I'm fully under I tune out any worries or fears and I fully relax.

Then I begin my transformation…
