Chapter 3: Potions class
The next day way the last day of term before winter break and Harry seemed to never want to wake up and he had a very good reason: today he had Potions class and not only was it with the Slytherins but Snape was sure to have heard about the whole him and Draco thing by now, after all it seemed to be all the school could talk about or at least that's what Ron had said. He had set off to Herbology in a slight state of shock as if hoping that the morning would all turn out to be a huge, funny joke. But when he wasn't class and Professor Sprout had questioned his whereabouts, Ron realized that it was in fact reality.
He had ran up to the Common Room with Hermione after Herbology (Ron of course had to explain to her what was going on as she had not been at lunch) to find Harry passed out on a couch, with a small group of first years standing around gawking at him. After quickly shooing the kids the kids away towards lunch, Hermione laid a blanket over Harry, patting his shoulder affectionately, and they set off towards lunch too, and after that, Divinations for Ron and Arithmancy for Hermione.
Professor Trelawney, much unlike Professor Sprout, did not give Harry a detention for skipping class, which was a great relief, but instead spent the whole class hovering over her orb, claiming that she saw a dark shadow falling over Harry. Ron was still in too much shock to comment that the dark shadow was probably sleep.
Draco too had slept the whole day away, receiving only one detention also, though I'm not quite sure why. Pansy came into check on him, giving him a quick peck on the cheek when he wouldn't wake up and stalking from the room as Crabbe and Goyle entered, worried looks on their faces, probably thinking about what Lucius Malfoy would do if anything happened to Draco.
So, back to the next day.
Harry finally awoke the next morning and took much longer than usual getting dressed (as if it was hard to pick from a uniform what to wear) and finally at the very last moments, after Hermione and Ron's urgings hurried down the corridor towards Potions. They only just entered as Snape was about to close the door, all eyes turning in their direction as they entered, hair askew and faces slightly flushed from the run. They walked slowly to their seats, but Harry suddenly stopped dead in front of Malfoy. He didn't know how he had been reacting since the previous morning.
But Draco just stared up at him, without a care in the world. "Was there something you wanted Potter?" he asked in mock sweetness. "Do you need to deliver a poem to me or something?" Crabbe and Goyle sniggered, but Harry just flushed deeper than ever and hurried across the room towards his seat as Snape entered, looking menacing, as though trying to suppress a smile.
"Today," he said in his usual dramatic way as he approached the front of the room. "We will not be studying love potions, though I would guess that some would hope otherwise," he gave a pointed look at Harry, a sneer twisting his face, his eyes twinkling. "But we will in fact be studying Truthfulness Potions."
There was a slight gasp. "But I thought that it was regulated by the Ministry - " someone began but Snape cut them off.
"No, silly boy," he sneered. "Veritaserum is highly regulated by the Ministry of Magic, we will be studying Truthfulness Potions, with will enable a person to be enchanted just one time for the length of time to be asked and truthfully to a question of the enchanters hopes." A slight glaze came over his eyes, as it always did when Harry knew he was thinking of something horrible to say. "But this is highly regulated by me, so it is best for none to try and sneak it out under my nose." he once again looked pointedly at Harry.
Many in the class sniggered, including Draco. He seemed to be taking the fact that he had been chosen as Harry Potter's true love very lightly.
They worked vigorously over the hour and a half that was Potions class. Harry added all of his ingrediants perfectly while attempting to keep his eyes off Malfoy, who's blond hair kept falling into his eyes. Harry longed to just run across the class and grasp him in his arms but Harry really didn't want anymore snide comments from Snape than he had to. Snape himself seemed to be taking Harry's sudden perfectionism on this particular potion as a sign.
"Like I said Potter, I'm watching you." he would mutter as he swept along behind Harry's chair, his robes billowing slightly.
Malfoy, even across the room still heard this and sniggered. Yep, he was the same old Malfoy. but now he seemed different in Harry's eyes. more special, suddenly seductive.
Ron elbowed Harry in his arm. "Do you want everybody to think you're really bloody falling for him?!" he whispered urgently out of the corner of his mouth as he followed Harry's gaze across the room to a smirking Malfoy, who had just been complimented by Snape on his perfect Potion.
Harry just kept silent.
Finally, after the long and laborious period, the bell finally rung and all the students rushed from the room, sweat dripping off their necks. Harry was just heading towards the door when he was suddenly caught on the arm by Malfoy, who spun him around.
Harry, hopping for a sign of affection was deeply disappointed when Draco glared at him menacingly and said simply, "I know, Potter, so you can just drop the act," and marched away down the hall, Crabbe and Goyle following behind.
