Neville nervously walked over to where Malfoy was sitting. He couldn't believe his bad luck, of all the people he could have been paired with he had to be stuck with the boy who so far made his life a living hell. Right now he wanted to curl up and die or better yet go back to the two weeks he had spent in the Bahamas.
Taking a seat Neville tried to ignore the smirk he was getting from Malfoy. " Um... so.... do you...um...understand what we are doing."
Cursing himself, Neville blushed. He hated when he stuttered but he always stuttered when he was nervous and growing up with his grandmother, he was always nervous. Draco gave a small condesending laugh, "Yeah, its a variation of a soulmate finding potion except this one binds you to them if both happen to drink it. Of corse that has only happened once since its creation."

Nodding his head, Neville chewed on his bottom lip as he sat thinking. Finally realizing Draco was staring at him, he got up and heading towards the cabinet muttering something about getting ingredients.
In all truth he wasn't that bad in potions and given the cance he would be extreamly good if Snape hadn't been breathing down his neck reminding him of his grandmother and her special form of "Teaching". So when Snape suprisingly left him and Draco alone he was able to work with little interuption since Draco was actually being civil. He only interupted once when Neville was cutting somthing in the wronge direction by placing his hand on his. Looking up into Dracos siverish blue eyes he simply nodded relising his mistake. Taking over that part Neville began reading more into the potion. It turn out it would take two month to complete since you had to add something daily and let it simmer the whole time. No wonder they were doing it for NEWTS level classes, it was actually pretty complicated. Smiling he reconizing a plant that he had gone over in a spare class he was in. He had asked the Professor for some spare classes since it came so easy for him.
Noticing others packing stuff up he helped Malfoy put things away and before heading out the door he nodded at him. With any luck this wouldn't be so bad, at least if Malfoy would keep things civil and not tease him anymore. For some odd reason he couldn't quess at, Malfoy hadn't done more then laugh once and if things stayed like that, Neville could get to like him, or atleast not mind working with him.
