Chapter Seven - What Can I Say? Dear Potter,
About the last parchment, Forget it, It was a mistake; I sort of got mixed signals.
Malfoy
Harry was sitting on his bed with bags under his eyes still holding up his wand.
" I'll be prepared" Harry muttered under his breath sleepily.
Ron woke up from his dreadful sleep and noticed that a letter had arrived for Harry. Ron picked it up and walked to Harry's bed noticing that the young Gryffindor was still chanting that he would be "Prepared"
"For Merlin sakes, mate! Would you just get over it?" Ron yelled while throwing the letter at Harry's face.
"You got mail" Ron commented, while leaving the room to take a cool shower.
Harry gazed down at the letter noticing the colour, and recognizing it to be from Malfoy.
Harry picked it up, took out the parchment and read its contents.
Hermione was making her way down to the common room when she accidentally bumped into Ginny.
"Oh sorry Gin." Hermione said, after noting whom she had bumped into.
"That's alright Hermione." Ginny replied.
Ginny looked closely at the young Gryffindor lady and noticed that she did not seem to have gotten any sleep.
"Hermione are you ok?" She asked.
Hermione just smiled and nodded.
"I'm just a little tired that's all. I didn't get much sleep last night after receiving an anonymous parchment.
"Anonymous you say?" Ginny gulped a bit.
"Yeah" Hermione replied.
"I apparently have an admirer." Hermione noted to Ginny.
"Oh, well what can I say?" Ginny replied with a smile.
"Nothing, I suppose" Hermione said with a small smile and a giggle.
"Morning Hermione, Ginny" Ron stated coming down the stairs with wet hair from his shower.
"Morning, Ron" Both the girls replied.
"So what's going on? Hermione it looks as if you had less sleep then I did, which is hard to believe after the night I had with Harry." Ron stated.
Ginny was about to state to Ron that Hermione had an admirer, but Hermione cut-in stating that she had been up all night studying for potions.
I wonder why she lied, Ginny thought.
Draco was getting ready in his room for double potions and his other classes today when suddenly a letter was returned to him.
Dear Malfoy,
I have no idea what is going on, and I think it is for the better. I lost sleep last night because of you, damn it; I swear I will curse you if I lose points in potions today!
P.S. Stop bloody writing to me, unless it's important!
Potter, Harry
"How dare Potter suggest that I would be the cause for him losing points, he does it all on his own!" Draco muttered while finishing the final touches on his hair.
Harry finally made his way downstairs where he met up with Ron, Hermione, and Ginny.
It was just about time for Harry, Hermione and Ron to make their way to potions class, God forbid if they were late again. Harry made sure to hurry right away, and in doing so it left Ginny alone with the other Gryffindor's in the common room, awaiting the time to go to her first class of the day.
Harry and his friends had reached potions class in time and were now sitting in their regular seats. Harry, sensing someone watching him, looked over to his right side to see Draco smirking at him. Harry just rolled his eyes and turned to look in front of the room.
"Alright Slytherin's, Gryffindor's, today we will be making a truth serum."
Everyone on the Gryffindor side sighed. And the Slytherin's immediately started scheming evil plans involving the potions they were to be brewing today.
"And what can I say? Professor Dumbledore wants everyone in pairs of two for this assignment, Only Merlin knows why…" Snape snorted.
Everyone just looked ill at what the professor had stated, knowing that they would all have to work with an opposite house.
They all started to bustle about making pairs, as some did not mind each other, But Snape sort of… well… snapped.
"Did I say you could move about?" He sneered.
"I must mention to you that the pairs have been assigned." Snape scowled.
Everyone looked shocked.
"Yes, well Dumbledore thought that some pairs could need improvement, and some could learn more from each other, so he made the pairings. You may thank the great wizard for your screwed up matchmaking, should I say in the least." Snape was sickened looking at the pairs; he just knew that there was going to be a lot of spilt potions, and broken glass and other spectacles to be cleaned, and quite a bit of detentions to be served with these pathetic choices. However, there were a few pairs he found would be rather amusing to watch.
"I will leave a list at the front for the groups; you can all come up one by one and check to see who you are paired with. I want you to be seated with your partner at your own lab table immediately." Snape snickered with amusement.
Hermione, with brains and courage, went up first to find that she was paired with Blaise.
Pansy went up, and choked when she saw Ron's name written down beside her own.
Pansy turned and thought she would be sick as she walked over to sit beside Ron at his lab table. Ron was about to get up and see who his partner was until Pansy scowled at him, and said that she had not sat beside him for no reason. "Oh, right…sorry" Ron stated.
This is going to be the most miserable assignment to work on in wizard history Pansy had thought.
Everyone who had partners had started brewing their potions and Snape was supervising them, while the others were still pairing off.
Harry was behind Neville waiting for his turn to see who his Slytherin partner would be. Draco, being the ignorant prat that he was, pushed his way through the crowd and started fighting with Harry over who would be next to see who there partner was.
Harry and Draco managed to see that both their names had been written beside each other at the exact same time. They both stood growling at each other silently. Then Draco raised a brow.
"What can I say?" Draco stated.
Harry looked at him curiously, and was about to brush off to their seats, but Draco leaned in and whispered into his ear "It won't be that bad"
Harry started to tingle at the warm breath of Draco Malfoy and stared at him awkwardly and stated, "We'll see about that, Malfoy."
To Be Continued…
Spoiler - Seems like this potion has some tweaks.
