Charlotte glanced over at Holly giving her a light smile in response to her
questioning expression. Charlotte knew that the minute class was over she
would have a million and one questions to answer.
Draco gave charlotte's elbow a little nudge to bring her attention back to what they were ment to be doing, mixing the classes' assigned potion. Charlotte turned her gaze back to Draco, smiled and whispered "sorry" in his ear. Draco simply nodded and pointed towards the parchment of instructions "How about you have a quick read through that while i get the bits n pieces out of the cupboard".
Charlotte nodded and began to read the guide to making the Bloomsbury potion; the potion is when made correctly a movement stopper, making the victim cease movement for up to 24 hours depending on the potency. Snape had made sure that the potion if tasted would only effect the class for up to ten minutes.
As Draco made his way to the cupboard to retrieve their supplies charlotte couldn't help but watch the way his body moved longing for the time when she would get him alone again.
As charlotte was concentrating on Draco she failed to notice that Professor Snape was watching her, only when Draco returned and they began to work did charlotte look up to find that Snape was watching the pair.
The pair had completed their potion and were just waiting for the potion to cool before they placed it in their bottles, when Snape approach them. The pair had failed to notice his approach as Snape had minutes ago been investigating Peter Watson's potion which had turned a light pink in colour when it should have been like the rest of the class a dark blue.
"Eldridge and Malfoy, remain after class I want a word with you both" Snapped Professor Snape, the pair simply nodded and with that Snape returned to the front of the class room and addressed the class at large. "Now with the exception of Mr Watson you may all pour you r potions into your bottles, make sure that you label the bottles with your names and place them in cupboard"
The class began to move going about pouring their potions into their bottles and in a few minutes Draco was walking towards the cupboard with the rest to place their potion out of harms way till next lesson when they would try out their potions.
When the last bottle was placed into the cupboard Snape dismissed the class reminding Charlotte and Draco to remain. As the last person left the room and shut the door Snape turned towards the pair and addressed them with a question. "I take it you both understand that you will be receiving a detention for your tardiness to my class" The pair nodded "Good, now Mr Malfoy you will spend tonight in here with me cleaning out every single cauldron, till they are spotless without the assistance of magic". Turning his gaze to Charlotte professor Snape snaped "As for you Miss Eldridge you will also spend tonight here, helping me mix poppy juice and pod juice potions for my 3rd year class tomorrow".
Charlotte grimaced, poppy and pod juice potions were the most foul smelling and messiest potions that charlotte had come across." Right off you two go, I want you both here at 6.30 sharp don't be late unless you wish to make this two nights" When the pair walked into the common room holly seized charlotte by the wrist and quickly pulled her away from Draco and up the stairs to her room. Since charlotte was forcefully removed from the room by her best friend, Draco returned to his own room, laying down on his bed he thought he may as well get some sleep before dinner as he wasn't sure just how long Snape intended his detention to last. Within minutes Draco was fast asleep.
When inside their room holly finally let her grip fall from charlottes wrist. Charlotte sat herself down at her desk while holly continued to stand, turning to face charlotte holly address her "So what was all that?," "Oh, Snape had to detain me to dish out my punishment, I have detention tonight" charlotte said frowning remembering what lay before her tonight.
"Not that, why were you late in the first place, come on char it's not like you to be late" Holly said moving over to sit on the edge of charlotte's desk. " Relax, I was late for once, once and if you fail to remember I told Snape what happened ok" Charlotte replied, for once she didn't feel the desire to share the truth of the day's events with her best friend.
Charlotte got up from her desk and addressed Holly. "Look I'm going down to the kitchen to get something to eat, cause I wont be at dinner due to detention, I will tell you everything in the morning ok." And with that charlotte left the room. Holly stood shaking her head wondering what could it be that charlotte was hiding from her. Leaving the room Holly went downstairs to the common room and located her boyfriend.
At 5pm Draco woke due to a large grumble coming from his stomach, getting up from his bed Draco took a quick look at himself in the mirror making sure that he wasn't any less than perfect, left the room heading down to the kitchens to have something to eat before detention tonight as he would surely miss dinner.
Charlotte was received warmly by the kitchen house elves and was just starting on the yummy food they had supplied her when Draco entered the room.
Draco gave charlotte's elbow a little nudge to bring her attention back to what they were ment to be doing, mixing the classes' assigned potion.
