-Professor McGonagall's POV-
The students left the Hospital Wing and you closed the door behind them.
"So, Jaimie (Madame Pomfrey), what is it? How is she coping?" You asked in a whisper.
"She is very well. Healthy as can be. Treatment's going well, though she doesn't exactly need it." You saw her lips pull into a taut line.
"There is more you are not telling me."
She didn't answer.
"What is wrong with her?"
She took a deep breath. "She has been given the Timeless Romance Potion."
You gasped. That potion made the victim never wake up, unless their true love came and kissed them on both eyelids.
"Minerva. There is something else you should know." She wasn't meeting your eyes. There is more news, bad, for this poor girl?
"Yes?"
"I also detected a faint trace of another potion."
"Well, which one is it?"
"The Metrofour potion."
There was silence in the room.
"You must be joking!"
"No." She returned sadly.
"That's illegal!"
"Yes."
Poor, poor girl. Her parents are in hiding. What can we do?
-Jacob's POV-
You were walking around school because there was nothing to do. You decided to skip lessons. You were so happy. The task had finally been done.
"Jacob?" You turned and saw Pansy.
"Pansy."
"You did really good acting. True. I thought you were going to bail out. But good work. We tricked them."
"Uh-huh."
Then, she moved a step closer to you. You could see that she was actually kinda cute… in a way. The way her bangs stopped right above her eyes. She tucked one side behind her ear. Her eyes were a dark chocolate type of brown color. You tried to think about not doing anything to her.
You cleared your throat. "So, why aren't you with Malfoy?"
"He's busy doing his task you know."
So, he has a task too. "I see."
"You know I've always liked you Jacob." She took another step closer.
Odd. I can't move my feet.
"I haven't always liked you, but I'm guessing we can be friends now." You added. She took yet another step forward.
She was pretty short. You were about five nine and she came up to your nose. Now, she was just inches away.
"Oh, more than friends." She whispered.
You swallowed.
Then, you were groping each other right in the hallway. You brought your lips down to hers and she tilted her head up. It was a rushed, yet passionate kiss. She wasn't lying when she said that she had always liked you. It was filled with urgency, but you liked it.
You licked her bottom lip and she opened to let you in. You were both searching inside each other's mouths. You nibbled on her bottom lip and she moaned against you.
You had to come up for air once, but you went at it again.
"Get a room!" You heard someone shout.
You broke apart, but reluctantly, and faced the person.
Christina was glaring at Pansy, but when she saw you, her eyes stared at you in horror.
"Jacob?" Pansy was still smiling at her.
"What?" You managed to say out loud.
She just shook her head and walked away.
"What's up with her?"
"Isn't it obvious?" You stared at her. You had no idea what could be less obvious.
"No." You replied.
"It's obvious she's going to tell Ileana you were kissing me. That is, when she wakes up. Or, more like if she wakes up."
"Oh."
"You're a dunce."
"So what?" You raised an eyebrow and grinned at her.
"Nothing. You're a sexy dunce."
Cha-ching.
"Let's go." You said huskily.
"To where?"
"My room."
"Oh, I'm liking it already."
-Draco's POV-
I can't believe I did that to Ileana. You thought that a lot these days. You tried not to let her see you these days. You saw a lot of her, but she didn't see a lot of you. She had been hanging around your cousin, Jacob Miller. You knw some stuff about him. Like his parents were not Death Eaters before, but a few months ago, they were a new addition. You had heard that he was given a task to prove himself, but you didn't know what it was.
Stupid closet! Why won't you close?! It was nearing the deadline for your task to be completed. You just couldn't shut the damn door!
You had to fix this closet thing in the Room of Requirement.
It was built as a pair. One was here, another in a shop in Knockturn Alley. You were supposed to fix the one at Hogwarts so that the Death Eaters could go through the one at the store and end up in the school. It was ingenious. Even Professor Dumbledore probably had no idea.
You had finished the closet just lat night. They would be arriving some time this week.
You were walking back to the Slytherin common room, but you heard whispers just around the corner.
"Hermione. How is she?" That's easy. That's Christina.
"Madame Pomfrey won't tell me! I am so frustrated!" The Granger Girl. Who are they talking about?
"We have to find out what's going on with her! She hasn't woken up yet! And it's already Tuesday!" Christina said a little loud.
"Shh! I mean I did hear something though."
"What did you hear?"
"I heard Madame Pomfrey say something about a Metrofour potion…"
"WHAT?! YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS?!" You heard Christina scream out.
"I haven't ever heard of that potion before…" Granger trailed off, sounding a little annoyed that she hadn't known what type of potion that had been. HA! You don't know everything! You almost laughed out, but remembered you were still hidden.
"Of course not! It's not legal anymore!" Christina seemed close to breaking down.
"Why? What's it do?"
You leaned closer to hear better.
"H-Her-Her-Hermione! She's going to die! Ileana's going to die within four hours of waking up!"
You voice finally came out, but a little too loudly. "WHAT?!?!"
