Potions
I slowly stirred the potion counterclockwise, watching it change into a light pink color. I smiled, happy that it turned out correctly, before glancing at Sylias, my Potions partner. Sylias was smirking and, looking closer, my smile quickly dropped as my face paled.
To some people, it would have looked like any other smirk; however, to me, that smirk practically screamed 'DANGER.'
I mentally gulped before I decided to voice my question. "…Sylias, what are you planning?"
"Hmm?" he turned towards me, tilting his head. "Nothing~," he innocently replied, smiling.
I sweat dropped, slowly shaking my head, muttering, "…Forgive me if I don't believe you…"
"Hmm…" He reached over, relieving me of the ladle. "Looks like we're done, huh?"
"Eh?" I glanced at the cauldron. "Oh, yeah."
He pulled out two empty vials from his bag, placing them on the table. He grinned at me. "I'll take care of the rest then, ne?"
I blinked, biting my lip. "…I guess…" I sighed and leaned back against my chair, glancing around the room. I saw Malfoy casually leaning against his chair, looking smug, while Granger was finishing up her and Longbottom's potion.
My attention was pulled away when I was suddenly jerked out of my seat. 'Wha-?' I looked towards the right to see the culprit: Sylias. I blinked and tilted my head, a question mark hanging over my head. "Sylias…?"
He shot me a mischievous grin, speeding towards the door and tightening his grip on my hand. "No time, Ashie."
"No time for wha-?" I began, only to be cut off.
"POTTER!" Snape bellowed. "100 points from Gry-"
Sylias cut him off. "Overruled! Later~!"
Just as Sylias closed the door, an explosion was heard from within, along with Snape yelling, "POTTER! SLYTHERN!"
Sylias just laughed and started pulling me along, running away from the irate Potions Master. I was dumbfounded, mindlessly running to keep up with him so I wouldn't be dragged.
I blinked and thought, 'Why do I like this guy again…?'
