As soon as dinner ended after their first day of classes Draco slipped out to the green houses and gathered the rose petals he would need. Professor Sprout was exceptionally fond of roses and grew them all around the edge of greenhouse four.
The rose petals would have to simmer for a week exactly to the time he added them into the cauldron. When it came to the Verus Amor Potion timing was everything to its potency.
Draco slipped back inside making no noise and down to the dungeons.
He arrived in the commonroom to a most disturbing sight. Draco felt his blood boil.
All other Slytherins watched to see what their prince would do. What three were daring to do was a sin.
Draco felt his eyes cloud over in fury. Where did they get these first years? Where did they ever get the idea that they could sit in his private spot just because he wasn't there?
Draco smiled fakely as he walked over to the them pulling his wand out and letting his other hand clench into a fist.
"What do you think you are doing?" Draco asked annoyingly sweet and pleasent.
All three of the first years sat up straight and turned wearily to look upon the Prince.
Draco smiled in what appeared to them to be kind way before it turned up into a sneer and his eyes grew darker.
We're doing Homework," one of the answered trembling and looking at his feet.
"I do not recall telling you that you could be in my spot," Draco said nastily grabbing the speaker and pitching him to the floor and leering at him menacingly. "Get out," he hissed as he pointed his wand at the first one.
All three grabbed their stuff and scampered out of the princes way.
Draco watched them leave, "Listen because if I ever see you in my area without my premission, mine and mine alone. I promise you that you will end up in the Hospital Wing for at least a week."
They nodded before running up to their dorms.
Draco flopped down into his black leather arm chair and placed his elbows on the arm rests. Silver flames cast eerie shadows across his face and made his eyes glint in quite a frightning way.
No noise was made in the entire common room. No one dared upset their prince anymore than he already was. He was still holding his wand and was likely to curse anyone who upset him.
"Leave," Draco said just a hint above a whisper.
Papers were heard scattering and quills dropping on tables followed quickly by the sound of feet dashing up to the dorms.
Draco stood and turned to be sure all had left him and were gone for the evening.
He reached into the pocket on the inside of his cloak removing the bottle of Floo Powder. He took a pinch and tossed it into the silver flames. The flames instantly turned emerald green and rose up higher then his head.
Draco stepped into the flames and shouted, "Malfoy manor." The familiar spinning of Floo travel started and Draco closed his eyes until he stopped.
Draco stepped out of the flames into a beautiful room decorated in green and silver and the furniture was made of hand-carved Mahagony.
A house elf approached cautiously and began to brush the soot from his robes.
"Master Malfoy should not be here. Master belongs at school," the elf whimpered.
"Shut up!" Draco snarled, "Do not mention this to mother!"
The elf whimpered.
"Get out!" Draco hissed.
"Master never spoke to elves this way before," it whimpered.
"I do not want to be mean - now leave," Draco said whipping out his wand and pointing it at the elf.
The elf squaled and ran away as quickly as it could.
Draco frowned. He really didn't like to be mean to the house elves. But he had to be strict with them occasionally so they would remember their place and not question him no matter where he was supposed to be or what he was supposed to be doing.
Draco moved silently through the living room glancing into the hallway before emerging to be sure he did not get caught by his mother.
Carefully and quietly he crept across the hall to a large oak door with a silver door knob and lock.
"Alohomora," he said and opened the door.
He tiptoed in and shut the door behind him.
Draco walked confidently across the room to the fire place and stepped up onto a circular platform in front of it. Draco pressed the knot formed by two intertwined snake tails carved into the marble mantle and turned it slightly to the right and the platform spun around to reveal one of the many hidden rooms of Malfoy Manor. Draco strolled into the room and opened one of the many cabinets.
Draco began to read over the labels in search of Unicorn Blood and Fire Fairy dust. He found both of them and took them over to the table. He took out two vials from his pocket and carefully began to pour in Unicorn Blood. he filled it up to the top and put a stopper in it and stowing it away carefully before beginning to weigh out the amount of Fire Fairy Dust he would need. Draco poured the dust into the other vial and stowed it in a different pocket before putting the bottles back on the shelves where they belonged.
Draco walked back out and across the hall careful to remember to lock the door behind him.
Draco went through the other door and closed it behind him.
"Master Draco?" another elf cried out, "Master Draco! What is you doing not at school?"
"That is none of your business," Draco informed the elf as he loomed over it unkindly. "I will dismiss you if I find out you have told anyone about my being here tonight."
"Please Master, not clothes! NO!" the elf sobbed throwing itself upon the ground at Draco's feet and using its pillowcase to wipe its eyes.
"Just get out of my sight. I won't give you any clothes. Calm down. I am leaving to go back to school." Draco growled pointing at the door.
"Master is so kind and forgiving," the elf blubbered as it slipped out of the room.
Draco sighed after the elf left then turned to the pillar on the right side of the fireplace. He turned it about to show that it was hollow inside and housed a large pot of Floo Powder. He took his bottle out and refilled it. He replaced it in his pocket before taking another pinch from the jar and turning the pillar back around.
Draco stepped up to the fire and tossed the Floo Powder into it and stepped in shouting, "Slytherin common room." Draco shut his eyes tightly as he felt himself begin to swirl.
Draco finally stopped and he stepped out of the fireplace in the Slytherin commonroom. He turned and glanced at the clock. It read ten o'clock.
Draco groaned before picking up his bag and walking to his head-boys room.
As soon as he arrived in his room he shed all his clothes and changing into a pair of dark green silk pajamas. The buttons were made of silver and had snakes etched into them. He pulled on a thick wool robe and leaned down and picked up his cloak removing 3 vials from it containing ingredients for the potion.
Draco placed the Unicorn Blood and Fire Fairy dust in a holder and poured the rose petals onto the scales. He weighed out the proper amount and took the rest and put the excess away with the rest of his potions ingredients.
Draco pointed his wand at the space under his cauldron and it burst into bright red flames.
Draco flicked his wand at the flames and said, "Viridare," causing the flames to become dark green and hotter as he poured the rose petals into the cauldron and stirred them for 3 minutes counter-clockwise.
Draco yawned as he glanced down at his watch. He pulled out a piece of parchment and wrote down the time before he whispered, "Nox," and all the lights save the fire brewing the potion went out as he stumbled to bed.
The rose petals would have to simmer for a week exactly to the time he added them into the cauldron. When it came to the Verus Amor Potion timing was everything to its potency.
