"Turn to your potions book to page 587. I would like for you guys to read the information," said Professor Snout as everyone loudly sighed and protested. "Yes I know this may seem like a tedious task, but I promise this will help you in the long run."

I looked down at my my textbook and I found the reading was about the Intensifying Potion. Surprisingly enough I have never heard of this potion before. Potions happened to be my favorite subject so I found myself reading my Potions textbook at night just to absorb the interesting information that was there.

The text said:

Intensifying Potion is a potion that gives a wizard much more power than they once have had previously. Only two individuals who are close at heart may permantly combine there magic making them unstoppable. There will be only one perfect match for someone to use this potion. Because there can only be one single match per person, there has only been one recorded case of a couple that had the effects of the Intensifying Potion thrust upon them. This potion does have it's faults. Both individuals will not be able to perform magic on there own. If one individual is left alone, there may be a chance that the wizard may not be able to protect himself from any possible dangers. Both individuals must repeat a spell while waving a wand in complete synchronization. There is a mystery behind this potion because we can never be certain what a couple induced with a Intensifying Potion will be able to achieve because of the lack of research. You can tell if these two individuals are not a perfect match the color will turn black if the color of the potion turns a beautiful shade of-

"Okay by now you should have finished the text I have assigned," Professor Snout said looking around the classroom. "Now we are going to perform this experiment in pairs," he said while I automatically looked at Sirius and we nodded to indicated that we wanted each other as partners, "but I have actually chosen your partners for you," he said while I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.

"I have a list up front indicating who I have paired you with. You may go up."

The class raced to the front keeping our fingers crossed it was someone intelligent.

"Look there has to be some mistake," I heard Lily's voice above the crowd. "I can't work with him."

"Sorry there is no way around it for this one," I heard Professor say with a sigh.

I ran my finger down the list once it had reached my turn to get a look. Lily Evans. I know what you are thinking. Yeah we did start over, but it didn't mean we were friends. We weren't enemies. But she would still rather work with anyone else.

I, on the other hand, am glad I got her. We may not be on best terms, but we will still create the potion correctly. She is the smartest girl I have ever met.

My head turned to Lily, who was already sitting at the table organizing the ingredients we needed for the experiment. I walked towards her and took my rightful place besides her.

"Okay so for this experiment we need 2 cups of dragon's blood, 1 cup of powdered moonstone, 1 single drop of each of our blood, and the 7 drops of the venom of a black widow spider. I got all of that here," she said motioning to the ingredients she set to the side. "Did you finish the reading?"

"No," I said sheepishly. "I didn't get enough time to complete it."

"It's okay I didn't either, but I skipped to the end to read the directions on how to actually make it," she said.

We worked in a comfortable silence making sure everything was done to perfection. We added every ingredient very precisly. We didn't add the ingredient until we were positive there wasn't any more or any less than we were supposed to. By the time we were done with the potion it was a beautiful shade of gold. It was the most beautiful shade of gold I have ever seen in my life.

"It's beautiful," she said gasping at the mixture we had created.

I only simply nodded knowing we had completely the experiment accurately.

"Okay! Now I am going to walk around to check to see if you have completed the assignment correctly. Most likely your potion will be a shade of black," the professor said.

"Oh no! I could have sworn we did this potion right," Lily whispered in horror. "I never mess up a potion. This is definitely going to kill my grade," she said in defeat.

"It's okay. We did the best we could do. And that is all we can ask for," I said giving her a small smile that she returned.

"Okay Lily and James, let's see what we got here," he said making his way over to our table.

"Professor, I don't know what happened, but it's-"

"Perfect. That's impossible," he said as his clip board slipped from his hand that he was using to take notes on.

"Professor, didn't you just say that the potion was supposed to be black," I said in confusion.

"I-I must see Professor Dumbledore immediately. This can't be. I will be right back. If anyone of you changes your potion or leaves this classroom you will all receive detention," he said running out of the classroom.

Sirius immediately turned around in his chair to face me because he was in front of me.

"What happened just now?" Sirius said while I just shook my head in confusion.

"Hey, did he say yours was perfect?" Sirius asked he said motioning to my golden liquid.

"Yeah, but it's clearly not it's supposed to be gold though."

"Well, Moony and mine turned this nasty shade of green. You want to help me fix it?" he said with a smirk.

"How many times do I have to say don't call me moony? What don't you get about keeping this on the down low," Remus said in frustration.

"Of course I'll help," I said ignoring Remus' complaining. He always be Moony to us be has absolutely no say in it.

"James," Lily said grabbing my arm, "I don't think we should. Professor said not to touch anything."

"Come on. Can't you bend the rules just a little," I said pleading.

"Well, okay. Just this once," she said while I flashed her a grin.

Lily and I looked at there green mixture.

"Did you put the 2 cups of dragon blood?" Lily asked inspecting the mixture carefully.

"Err.. Yeah, but I think I put one? Or maybe it was 1 and a half?" Sirius said scratching his head.

"How in the world can you forget something like that?" I said rubbing my temple in frustration.

"Just add maybe a little bit more?" Lily said.

Sirius did as Lily suggested. He added one more cup of dragon's blood. He stirred it carefully. Slowly the potion started to change in color to a black.

"Wow, Lily your a genius!" Moony said turning his attention away from the potion.

"Did everyone else's potion do that..?" Sirius said pointing to our now bubbling potion that was now overflowing onto the table. "Everyone duck it's going to-"

In that moment, choas exploded throughout the room and my first reaction was to jump in front of Lily to protect her from the explotion. The force of the explotion knocked our perfect potion to the ground sending the golden liquid all over Lily and I.

"Is everyone okay?" I said holding out my hand to help Lily to her.

There was a chorus of yeses throughout the room.

"Okay no harm. No foul," Sirius said trying to make light of the situation while everyone simply glared at him. "Woah," he said in amazment directing his attention to me.

"What?" I said in annoyance.

"You are-"

"Glowing," Dumbledore said entering the classroom. "Mr. Potter and Mrs. Evans I believe you should come with me."


"You know the lily flower has always have had the meaning rebirth or renewal," Dumbledore said carefully twirriling delicate looking lily flower in his hand. "A perfect name for a perfect girl who is made to change the world in one decision," he said with sigh setting his flower back on his desk.

"What did you call us for Professor," I said wanting to know what was going on.

"Oh where are my manners! Would you like a lemon drop?" he said holding out a jar full.

"No thanks," I said while Lily just shook her head.

"Suit yourself," he said popping one in his mouth.

"Please, Professor," Lily said her eyes shinning. "We need to know."

Dumbledore looked at us grief written in his eyes. He knew something.

"Long ago before you were even born there was a prophecy written about what would happen in this very moment by your very own Professor Trelawney." he said with a sigh. "Here," he said handing me over the scroll. "I wrote it down every word. She was chanting them for days on end in a crazed fashion."

Potter and his flower Lily

brought together by the power of gold

that lies within.

Evils arise

that will slowly show to be their demise.

Their sacrifices will not go unknown

because Potter will be the one to save the world.

"I don't understand what that means," Lily said with her hands shaking slightly gripping the paper tighter in her grasp.

"You are bonded through gold. You were exact match in the potion you performed," Dumbledore said. "You are the ones that this prophecy is referring to."

"I-I-"

Lily couldn't finish her sentence without bursting into tears. I pulled her into a tight embrace my hands stroking her hair.

"It's okay," I whispered. "What will become of us?" I asked Dumbledore.

"We can't choose our fate, but you can choose others. Be careful in knowing that."

This is personally my favorite chapter so far. Things are starting to get interesting. Thanks for reading it is very much appreciated. I love you all!
