Disclaimer: Wow, I haven't updated in so long. I'm so sorry, you guys are probablu so mad at me. My sweet 16 party is coming up and I am in charge of entertainment and decorations, plus the DJ and all the other crap, and it's stressing, so so so sorry. Well Hope you like the story...Here's chapter 7.
Chapter Seven:
Malfoy walked to his first class, Potions. Fortunatly for him, he wasn't with the Gryffindors again this year, but he felt like this was the only thing that was good news in his life lately. He took a seat, near the end of the row, so he could be close to the exit when class was over, he didn't feel like sticking around and chatting with Snape.
It seems like Snape was watching his every move, not romantically mind you, but in a way like he was was trying to find out whether he was going to follow his dad's wishes to become a deatheater. Despite what everyone thought, Snape and Draco were not close. In fact, they both would often get into arguments. Malfoy knew almost immediately when he came to Hogwarts that Snape was an undercover deatheater, secretly working for Albus Dumbledore. Snape knew that he knew. Therefore, they engaged in many, a countless arguments on whether Draco would join the dark side or stay on Dumbledore's good side. Truth was, he just wants to be neutral. He wasn't exactly fond of being involved in the battle of good versus evil, he just wanted to live his life the way he wanted it. Besides, he couldn't care less for goody-two-shoes potter and his faithful, waiting on his foot sidekicks.
After about five minutes of thinking, the rest of his classmates started pouring in. Draco studied them, trying to figure out what house he was stuck with. It was Ravenclaw. Not bad, he didn't exactly want to be stuck with a bunch of know-it-alls but that meant that Snape won't be turning to him for an answer for every single question. That was particularily annoying. He would've gave the wrong answer on purpose if it wasn't for that stupid Granger, he wanted so badly to beat her.
As Malfoy watched the rest of the class come in, he wondered whether Padma would be in this class or not. He shook off the thought, why should he care right? After that incident with...wait what was her name, oh yeah...Pansy in the Great Hall, he was almost positive that she didn't even want him near her. At that same moment, Pansy came by his desk and attempted to sit on the empty seat next to Malfoy. Malfoy quickly put his books there and said:
" Sorry, it's being saved"
" Oh yeah? By who?"
Padma entered the room, looking for an empty seat, but alas there was none to be found...except the seat next to a particular person...
" By her. Padma! Come over here and sit down. Don't be shy!" DRaco said, with a bit of fake happiness, his eyes darting fearfully at Pansy and Padma.
Padma walked over there slowly with a deeply confused look on her face. What was Malfoy playing at? Then she spotted Pansy glaring at her, a look filled with such hatred, Padma was sure she could burst into fire if her eyes were locked with Pansy's for a while. Padma reached the seat, Draco removed his pile of books, and she sat down, hesistantly. Draco looked back at Pansy with a smirk on his face, his silver eyes colder than ice.
" Guess what Pansy, you just have to find someplace else to sit. Sorry, maybe if you came a bit earlier? Well, I wouldn't expect it since the fat that you lug around is just going to slow you down, but, try and try again!"
The class, who was watching the situation intently, heard that and gasped. Then gradually, like a domino effect, the class started to laugh. Pansy looked all around, her eyes welling up in tears. She broke down crying and rushed out of the room. At the same moment, Snape entered the room. He looked at the class, who were still laughing hysterically, and snorted in disgust. These kids nowadays were having too much fun, they are never going to learn.
Padma looked at Draco, with a surprised look on her face. Draco looked back, with a playful look in his face, but a bit of pain and guilt in his eyes. Padma turned and looked at Snape, ready for today's lesson plans, but her only thought was:
" I guess he is human after all".
Snape turned around and faced the class.
" Silence! I won't have the class misbehaving in the most unaccepted way. Now, today we are going to work on the Past Potion, a potion in which, when made correctly, can result in you seeing your partner's past. Now, I will choose your partners."
Draco's insides froze. A Past Potion...his partner will be able to see his past? That's bad, majorly bad. He didn't want anyone seeing his past, it was too horrible to be seen. He looked angrily at Snape, who just ignored him. He then turned to Padma, who was deep in thought, her face displaying a slight panic. Guess, she has things in the past that doesn't want to be seen. Snape came up to their side.
" Malfoy and Patil, you will be partners. You have until the end of this class to make the potion and use it on each other. Don't waste it on fooling around."
Padma nodded, her past was going to be seen by Malfoy? This is the worst thing that will happen. Who knows what Malfoy is going to do when he sees it. At the same time, Malfoy was dreading the thought of Padma looking into his past, she has already seen the scars on his back, isn't that enough, but she has to see his past too? Fate is playing with him.
They faced each other, and started on the potion. A bit of sage, chamomile, and thyme was added along with eye of newt, tounge of a frog, and the heart of a shrew. The brains of the bowtruckle has also been added. After being stirred at exactly 50 times, fal clockwise, and the other half counter-clockwise, the potion was ready.
Snape announced at the near edn of the class that the potion should be ready by now and had reached a pinkish green color. They could test it on each other. Padma and Malfoy looked at each other.
Padma said, " I'll go first, go ahead, drink the potion."
Draco replied back, " No, why don't I go first, you can drink the potion."
" No please, I INSIST!"
" I INSIST!!!"
" Ok, clearly this isn't going anywhere, so why don't we flip a coin?"
" Fine, call it"
" Heads"
Draco looked at the coin in his hands. A smile crept upon his face,
" Sorry, tails, looks like I go first, drink the potion."
Padma took the potion and brought it to her lips, with fear in her eyes. Malfoy was about to see her past. Hoping he doesn't do anything rash, she downs the glass of potion. She gasps and falls asleep. Draco closes his eyes, and starts to see something...
AN: HAHA, a cliffhanger. How is it? Is it ok? I hope it's longer than my other chapters. And also, I want to thank everyone who reviewed for the story, thank you soo much, I am so touched. Please keep reviewing.
