Fairy Dust
"Well, why don't you just sprinkle some fairy dust over it and make it all better?" Rose snapped, throwing her spoon onto the bench.
"Well, why don't you actually listen to me for once instead of insisting you know everything?" Scorpius retorted, continuing to stir the potion despite his partner's refusal.
"Because I know a lot more about potions!" Rose cried. "You said so yourself, our very first class together, remember? You said I'm useless at this subject. Always have been, probably always will be. So I offer my help. Ever since our first year."
Their voices had now raised above the others and the bubbling potions. Heads were starting to turn, but that went unknown to them – including Slughorn making his way over.
"Well, you've taught me a lot since then," Scorpius retorted.
"You still suck. Why'd you take it, anyway? You know you suck."
"Because… well, I took it because you were taking it."
"Well that's a dumb reason," Rose said, hands on her hips now.
Scorpius sighed. "Do I need to sprinkle some fairy dust over your head to make it better?"
"Well, that was rude."
"Now, now, Miss Weasley and Mr Malfoy, this potion is supposed to restore bad moods, not create them," Slughorn said, chuckling at his own, assumed, wit.
"Sorry, sir," Rose muttered, returning to stirring the potion.
"Yeah, sorry, professor," Scorpius added.
Slughorn chuckled to himself as he walked away, and Rose shot Scorpius a filthy glare.
"I hate you," she muttered from the side of her mouth.
"Yeah," Scorpius replied, "well, I love you."
