The next morning, Ron and Harry groaned and sat up.
"I can't wait to see Lydia." Ron said excitedly.
"Chill man. Come on, she's probably with Malfoy." Harry told him, "thought I wouldn't mind seeing her myself." He added.
They jumped out of bed and got dressed. They walked out into the Great Hall. Sure enough, Malfoy was with Lydia. He had his arm around her again. They walked over to Ron and Harry.
"Hey guys." Lydia greeted, smiling.
Ron nearly melted at her smiled. Draco laughed at the look on Ron and Harry's face.
"You guys could kill each other. You both want the same girl." He said.
Lydia elbowed him in the ribs and he shut-up.
"See you guys at potions." Lydia said waving back at them as they left.
"You guys never give up do you?" Hermione asked laughing.
They shook their heads and sat down for breakfast. After they finished, they headed to potions.
"There's that…Malfoy with Lydia." Ron said shaking his fist.
"Got a problem with that?" Snape's voice said from behind.
"No sir. I just…" Ron trailed off as Draco smiled at Lydia and kissed her on the cheek.
"Good Mr. Weasley." Snape said walking off.
Ron mocked Snape.
"Why do they even have him as a teacher if only Slytherin likes him?" Harry asked.
Hermione shrugged.
Proffesor Snape pushed everyone into the classroom.
"Today we are getting a seating chart because I said so. Care to argue and you will lose house points." Snape said.
"Potter and Parkinson." They both groaned.
"Weasely and Goyle." They glared at each other.
"Patil and Longbottom." They looked at each other, relieved they got the same house as them.
The list went on until the last pair was called.
"Draco and Lydia." They smiled at each other.
Snape smiled at his two favorite students.
"These people next to you, will work on every potion together." Snape added.
Most everyone groaned. Lydia and Draco sat down at an empty table.
"So, what do you think we'll be making?" Draco asked Lydia.
Lydia shrugged, "It doesn't matter to me, this is my favorite class and anything in it would be fine."
Draco nodded. Snape called for attention at the front of the classroom.
"Everybody listen up. We'll be working on a new potion. One that hardly anyone in this class has heard of. It is called Letum Annullare. Does anyone know what it does?"
Lydia's hand shot up into the air.
"Yes Miss Griphus?" Snape asked.
"Letum Annullare means death destroy. It revives anyone from the dead. It is a very strong potion that was once banned because many wizards and witches believed it was He Who Must Not Be Named who founded the potion. It was then discovered that a wizard named Cervix Semper founded it. Cervix Semper means strength always. He founded this potion to revive his daughter that had been killed by He Who Must Not Be Named. Letum Annullare can only revive one person at a time. The only glitch to the potion, is that you must show true love for the person by giving your own life." Lydia answered smiling.
"Very good!" Snape said smiling back, "20 points to Slytherin."
Hermione rolled her eyes and whispered to Ron from across the isle, "Show off."
Ron smiled and whispered back, "Look who's talking."
Hermione scowled and turned back to look at Snape who was glaring at her.
"Miss Granger, 5 points from Gryffindor for interrupting."
Ron began to speak but Ron looked at Lydia shut-up.
"Now may we continue?" Snape asked.
"Yes Proffesor." The class echoed.
The proffesor listed the ingredients.
"After you add these, you will need to wait for an hour while sturring it occasionally. No burning the potion or it will end up in an explosion that will envelope the whole classroom." Snape said looking at Neville.
Neville sunk into his chair as all the Slytherins laughed except Lydia. Lydia was trying to shut Malfoy up.
She was saying, "That's cruel Draco. Stop it."
Ron looked at Harry.
"Look, she's even trying to stop them from making fun of Neville. I swear, she can't be that bad." He mouthed.
Harry nodded, "I don't know what got into that hat." He mouthed back.
Hermione sighed and whispered to Ron, "You know, I'm beginning to agree with you two."
After they put all the ingredients in the potions, they began to boil them. They sat watching their potions brew.
"Is it done yet?" Ron would ask every five minutes.
He would receive a glare from Goyle and Goyle would crack his knuckles to intimidate Ron. Ron sunk back in his chair. He looked at Lydia. She was smiling back at Ron. Ron felt himself blush. The potion finally was finished.
"We have made these to help the wizarding world. We will NOT test these." Snape told them.
"Bottle them up in the containers on your desk." Snape added.
Everyone did as he said.
"Class is dismissed." He finally said.
Everyone filed out of the classroom. Draco stepped in front of Ron.
"May I talk to you…Weasley."
The way he said it wasn't a request. It was an order. Ron followed Draco a little further down the hall. Draco suddenly pushed Ron against the wall up a few feet into the air.
"Watch it Weasley. I saw the way you were looking at my girl. Leave her alone. Understand?"
"Draco! Where are you?" Lydia's voice came through the crowd.
"I have to go." Malfoy said dropping Ron the couple feet from the ground.
Ron landed with a thud. Lydia ran up to him. Draco behind her.
"Are you all right Ron?" Lydia asked.
Ron stood up. He looked at Draco.
"I'm fine. I must have slipped on something." Ron answered.
"Are you sure you're OK?" Lydia asked him.
Ron nodded. Lydia shrugged and walked off. Ron glared at Draco's back as Draco put his arm around Lydia.
"Hey Ron!" Harry shouted coming over to his best friend.
"What's up?" Harry asked.
"Malfoy and Lydia. Look." Ron said pointing to them down the hall.
"Come on Mr. Jeleous." Harry said smiling.
Ron scowled, "Would you shut-up. I just don't see how she can stand him."
Harry shrugged, "Me either."
They walked to the common room. Inside, they found the twins making their normal mischief.
"Hey guys." The twins called out.
"Hey Fred, George." Ron said.
"You guys want to be in our…well not ours..but it's a mischief making sorta' club. Not really a club…but…ANYway, you guys want to join?" The twins asked.
"Sure!" The boys grinned.
"We already recruited Draco Malfoy and Lydia Griphus from Slytherin." George said.
Ron's face turned red from anger.
"How could you let Draco Malfoy in?" He asked.
The twins shrugged.
"Why?" Fred asked.
"Do you have a problem with him and Lydia?" George smirked.
"Oh shut-up." Ron scowled.
"So," Fred began.
"Would you like to join?" George finished.
The boys looked at each other and shrugged.
"Cool. I guess. It's not illegal or anything is it?" Ron asked.
The twins snickered, "No, now why would you think that?"
Ron shrugged, "I don't know. You never know what you two are up to."
Fred and Georged feigned hurt.
"You would believe that about us?" They asked.
Harry laughed.
"Well guys, tonight at midnight, meet in front of that one stone figure. The one that looks like a witch on the 2nd floor." Fred whispered.
"Make sure NO goody-two-shoes follow you. Make sure you are the only ones awake. Except that Will kid, he's in it too." George added.
The two boys nodded.
"Oh and by the way, Hermione joined too." Fred said.
Harry and Ron exchanged glances.
"How the heck did you get her to join?" They asked.
Fred looked at George.
"It was quite easy in fact." George said.
"Yeah, she wanted to join right away actually." Fred told them.
Ron and Harry shrugged it off.
"Let's go." Ron said to Harry.
"Here take these…" Fred said handing them both badges that looked see through.
"Nobody can see them but members. Put them on." George said.
They boys smiled and took them.
"So, how organized is this?" Harry asked.
The twins grinned mischievously.
"You'll see." They said.
Harry and Ron put on the badges and looked at each other's badges. Each of their badges said BEGGINER on it in bold red and gold letters.
'Probably to represent Gryffindor.' Ron thought.
They ran upstairs and got their books for their next class which just happened to be Transfiguration.
"Let's go. Wouldn't want to be late, would we Harry?" Ron said.
Harry shook his head remembering the first day of school where they had been late. It was humiliating. They ran into the classroom just as everyone was sitting down. Two minutes later, the door burst open and Draco Malfoy ran in.
"Mr. Malfoy, what's the meaning of this?" She asked.
"Proffesor McGonagall, Proffesor Snape needs you immediately." He said.
"Well, what for? I'm teaching a class now." The teacher said.
"I don't know. He wouldn't tell me. He said that it was urgent. Having to do with some potion." Draco told her.
The Proffesor's face paled and she ran out of the room. Whispers immediately began. They were all gossiping about what Proffesor Snape wanted. Draco walked to the front of the room.
"Gryffindors, stop gossiping. There is NO romance between the two proffesors no matter what you may think. The lowdown is this. I heard that they are making a potion to get rid of all the troublemakers. Now, I could be wrong, but that's what I heard."
"Yeah? Why should we believe you?" Someone yelled.
Malfoy turned and glared, 'Because I am down in the dungeons all day with Snape. Wouldn't you think that I'd hear a thing or two?"
"No, I believe that you spy on people. I just want to know why you're telling us. What do you get out of it?" Another person said.
"You really don't want to know." Draco told them.
"Yeah we do!" Harry said standing up.
"Oh, it's you. I didn't know you were in this class. I should have known because that Creevy kid has been standing outside the door for the whole class period." Draco said laughing.
Harry looked back at the door.
"What? You thought I was telling the truth! You're even stupider then I thought." Draco told him.
Harry scowled and sat down. Draco laughed.
"You really want to know what my evil plan is?" He asked.
Proffesor McGonagall walked in the classroom at that moment.
"Draco, your teacher would like you back now." She said.
Draco nodded curtly at her and walked out of the room.
Harry whispered to Ron, "I can't believe him! He thinks he's really cool. He thinks he has every girl's attention in this school."
"Yeah," Ron whispered back, "He does have Lydia's attention."
Harry held back a laugh and turned back to the front as Proffesor McGonagall went back to teaching.
'I wonder what potion Malfoy was talking about…' Harry thought.
The rest of the class did the same.
