Malfoy's arms were around me, and I was kissing – yes kissing – him deeply. I then sat upright, slightly shaky from the dream.
"No way," I said to myself before falling back onto my pillows. Why on earth would I be dreaming of Malfoy?
Ellie had joined me in Potions today because her partner was away, as was Malfoy, and I had no idea why he was absent.
"Today, you will brew the Draught of Living Death. The list of ingredients is on the board. You have 1 hour and 20 minutes. Begin." Snape said.
"The Draught of Living Death? That's one of the hardest potions to make!" Ellie loudly whispered to me, grabbing Snape's attention too.
"There is to be no talking either," he said in a monotone voice and we collected the ingredients and started. Halfway through I was really having trouble and asked Ellie what to do next and she had no idea so she shrugged her shoulders.
I asked the other people around me and almost jumped out of my skin when I turned back to my cauldron. Snape was standing right there, his face level with mine and let me tell you, he is getting really old.
"What did I say about no talking?" he said impatiently.
"Detention for you and your little friend here," he said looking at Ellie. We said nothing and he returned to his desk. I looked at Ellie and she gave me a sympathetic look. Great, I'd just gotten myself and my best friend into trouble that we didn't even mean to start. Class finished and I hadn't, neither had Ellie and we weren't quite sure how to empty out our cauldrons seeing as it had poison in it. I decided to ask the Professor.
"Professor Snape, err how exactly are we meant to empty out our cauldrons?"
"You can't see I'm a little busy here? Figure it out" and he went back to his work. Malfoy walked up to Snape's desk and stood there for ages talking to him about something important, and then turned and saw us.
"What are you still doing here?" he asked.
"We don't know how to empty this"
"What is it?"
"The Draught of Living-"
"-Death, just pour it down the sink." We went to tip out our potion down the sink when Snape got up and left. We hurriedly emptied the cauldrons and packed up our things, leaving before he could return and yell at us.
"I don't think I can last any longer in that class!" Ellie breathed and we both laughed as we headed to dinner. After we'd eaten I told Ellie I was going to go to the library while she went out for Quidditch practice.
I entered the library and went to the back section. There weren't many students in the library at this time of the night, so it was quiet enough for me to read in peace. Well, that was until I was greatly disturbed by none other than Malfoy and Pansy. They were getting rather very intimate and were not being quiet about it either. Frustrated at the fact that I could no longer read in peace, I stood up and separated them instantly with my wand.
"So that'll be ten points from Slytherin for disrupting other students, five points for too much public display of affection and another five points because I just don't like you Malfoy," I said, leaving him and Pansy rather confused as I packed up my things and left.
Once I was inside the tower I threw my things down on the lounge opposite the fireplace but they fell onto the floor and I couldn't be bothered to pick them up either. I pulled out the book I'd been reading in the library and sat down, trying to focus again on reading but I was disrupted yet again by Malfoy.
He was fuming at the fact I had firstly interrupted them, and then taken points away from him. I continued reading and pretended that I hadn't heard him come in. This only lasted until he ripped the library book from my hands and threw it across the room.
"You'd better not have damaged that," I said, going over to retrieve it.
"You can't take house points away from the Head Boy!" he sneered. I stood up straight and replied, "I believe I just did".
"Why did you interrupt us? We were fine before you came in!"
"As I said before, too much public display of affection"
"Unlike you, I have standards, and I like to keep them high so why don't you shove off it?"
"If I had standards, you'd be at the very bottom, under vermin. Besides, when have you ever seen me with someone?" I said smartly before going to my room, locking the door magically and silencing my room so I couldn't hear him. Right now we pretty much wanted to slit each other's throats.
