Harry Potter had suffered throughout Potions the next day. His scar had been hurting all night and now he had to put up with Malfoy making snide comments to him every minute. The two of them had been paired up to work on a potion. Harry wondered if he would be able to keep up his deal with Snape and was seriously considering backing out.

It was 2minutes to the end of the lesson and Snape was looking at everyone's potion. He came up to where Harry and Malfoy were sitting and turned his nose up.

'Someone has left out the bat's blood in this potion. It is useless, you shall both come to my office tonight at 6 to redo this potion.' Snape looked at Potter and if you'd been watching very closely, you would have noticed a slight nod given to Harry from Snape before Snape moved to the front of his last.

'You are free to go' Snape told the class.

'Potter, I am going to kill you. Even Longbottom doesn't have to come back. Why did you miss it out? I told you! I told you not to forget but you did. You're hopeless.' Malfoy glared at Harry before storming out of the classroom.


Harry sat next to Hermione with Ron opposite them as they ate. Ron greedily stuffed half a sausage into his mouth before speaking,

'Honestly Harry, How could you forget? Even I remembered and I'm much worse at Potions than you. The way Malfoy stormed out the room, he's a right Drama Queen Isn't he Harry?' Little did they know that at that moment Draco Malfoy was sitting eating his dinner at the Slytherin table feeling secretly thrilled at the thought of spend extra time with Harry.

'Ron please refrain from talking with food in your mouth again. It's vile.' Hermione turned her nose up as Ron opened his mouth in reply to Hermione's interruption.

'Disgusting. I'm going to the library' Hermione stood up and left without looking back.

'Was it me?' Ron asked Harry. Harry shrugged.


Harry Potter was wearing his school clothes as he headed down to Snape's office. He couldn't be bothered to change. His white shirt was look rather messy as the top buttons were undone, revealing the very start of his chest, his right shoelace was undone and his hair looked messier than usual.

He knocked on Snape's office and opened the door after hearing Snape bark at him to enter. Draco Malfoy's eyes were on him and followed him all the way from the door to Snape's desk, at which Harry now stood.

'Looking rather a mess Potter. Didn't have anytime to dress yourself properly?' Draco Drawled. Draco also noted in his head that his stomach wasn't supposed to get butterflies around Potter, as it wasn't a Malfoyish thing to do.

'I haven't been undressed, Malfoy' Harry sniped.

'Be quiet both of you. Now Mr. Malfoy will you please begin the experiment as I need to talk to Mr. Potter privately' Snape stood up and made way to the door he had entered from the night before.

'Mr. Potter, you are supposed to follow me. Mr. Malfoy get on with the potion.'

'But Sir…'

Snape looked at Malfoy and Draco immediately shut up. Harry followed Snape into the room nervously.
