The potion was very simple, and Professor Slughorn made it so it needed very little of our ingredients. The most we had to use was a fourth of a cup. The potion we were making was one that would turn the drinker any color they desired; as long as they had a flower of the color in which they wanted to make themselves. We unfortunately did not have any flowers, for it was not on the list, so we got to choose one from Professor Slughorn when he came around. Even if someone got the color of your choice, I saw, it appeared again after the person chose it. Which was fortunate for us because we were in the very back of the room on the left side, and the right side went first.

By the time Professor Slughorn reached us, we were almost done with our potion. We hadn't said a word to each other at all, and surprisingly (and I hate to say it), but we make a good team. If we weren't fighting. Sometimes you just gotta be truthful. It was obvious Scorpius wanted green, because he kept blabbering on about it to Nick, who was in front of us while I was cutting up a caterpillar. But when Professor Slughorn came around, Scorpius started saying "Gre-" But I made up my mind at the last second and said "Pink!" before he could finish.

"Very well. Pink for Miss Potter and Mr. Malfoy." Professor Slughorn announced. Mark and Nick couldn't stop laughing until Scorpius gave both of them a dirty look.

"Why'd you have to choose pink?!" he asked,

"Why'd you have to be so slow?" I said cooly. Frustrated, Scorpius went to mashing up the flower into a powder. I started taking notes on the potion.

A while later, while everyone was finishing up, Scorpius said, "Done. Stirred 17 times."

"WHAT?!" I shouted. I looked over my notes again.

"You're supposed to do it 7 times! Not 17! You'll get me a bad grade!"

"You'll get a bad grade?! And anyway, no time to fix it now! Look!" Scorpius pointed to Professor Slughorn. "Time, everyone," Professor Slughorn called out, "No more fixing your potions. Now, I will come around and the person who didn't pick the color will drink the potion. Don't worry, it should wear off in about a minute. That is, if you did it right." The potion did look pink, but I doubted it would work. So for a solution, I flipped through my textbook.

"What are you doing?" Scorpius asked.

"Looking for a way to fix it, obviously." I replied.

"You can't do that. You'll get us an even worse grade for breaking the rules! You're just like your father! Stupid half-bloods. Have no respect."

"Oh, and your father didn't break any rules?"

"No."

"Ever heard of a penseive?"

"You looked into your fathers penseive without permission?"

"You haven't?"

Scorpius just glared at me for a while.

"I'm still not letting you break the rules," he said. I let out a frustrated sigh and tried to add some more pink powder in, as the book said. But just as I was about to drop it in, Scorpius yanked it away. But it got all over him. Suddenly all heads were turned to the back on us.

Later when they dried Scorpius off, he was all pink. Professor Slughorn sighed. "Well, you did manage to turn him pink. Just not in the way that I expected my two most promising students to do it. So I give you both O's. As well as detentions for goofing off." We both groaned. Professor Slughorn then turned to leave, but turned back. "Oh, and Scorpius, it should wear off in an hour. And you're detentions are tomorrow at 8 o clock in the evening." And then he whispered something to Scorpius that I couldn't hear, but it made him turn pinker than he already was.

Hey! I know it's been a SUPER long time since I wrote. But I had school to finish and I wanted to read the whole Harry Potter series again. Sorry. And I noticed that I had some errors. I'm sorry the chapters were short and not very detailed and very, very quick moving. I'm trying to change that, trust me. So here's one that's a little longer. In one of the chapters when the Sorting Hat said seventh year to Scorpius, he meant fifth. I'll change that later. So once again I'm very sorry for not updating in about 5 months. The next chapter will be in Scorpius's POV.
