"So, Mr. Malfoy." Snape suddenly said as he slowly walked inside the room, all eyes were placed on Tom, "Tell me, What is the basic ingredients in making a Polyjuice Potion."
Tom and Emma exchanged worried glances as Tom turned paler than usual. He stood up and stared at Snape's pitch black eyes.
"Oh god."
"I'm waiting Mr. Malfoy." said Snape, his eyes were on Tom, "What is the basic ingredients in making a Polyjuice Potion." He repeated this time more louder.
Tom Felton gulped harder, Is this what I get for making fun of Alan Rickman? Whispers began to spread at the room making Snape irritate a bit, "Silence." He said, and with that, a deafening silence happend. "Mr. Malfoy, you -"
"The Basic Ingredients in brewing a Polyjuice Potion is Lacewing flies, Leeches, Powdered bicorn horn, Knotgrass, Fluxweed, Shredded Boomslang skin, and a bit of the person you want to turn into; which is hair."
Snape's eyes widened and looked suprised, the Slytherins smiled proudly at Malfoy including Harry and Ron. While Emma on the other hand, looked shocked.
"Well-" Snape crossed his arms across his chest and nod at Tom who was still nervous but not much anymore, "- It looks like a underestimated you Mr. Malfoy, Thank you and you may now take your seat."
Tom took his seat and plastered a smile across his face as he watched Snape starting to discuss their lessons up front.
As Tom made his way out of the dungeons joining Blaise, Pansy and Phoebe, as Emma suddenly called him, "What is it Em?" he asked. "Hey Emma." greeted Phoebe, Pansy and Blaise. "Hello." she replied as she smiled at the three Slytherins.
"Listen, Tom, we'll just gonna leave you two and head towards the next class, see you then?" Phoebe asked, Tom nodded as the three Slytherins bid their goodbyes, "See you later Emma."
"Bye guys." said Emma, then faced at Tom who was smiling, "What?" he asked. "Don't what me." Emma said making Tom furrow his eyes with confusion, "Wait what did I do?" He asked innocently.
"How'd you know all of those things?"
Tom laughed a bit and messed Emma's hair, just like he always do, "There's a thing called study Em, you should try it sometimes. And besides, I have a reputation to hold, can't make everyone suspicious won't we? " he winked and left.
Emma smirked as she watched Tom's back walking away, "Unbelievable." she said.
Emma walked until he bumped into two familiar Gryffindor boys, "Hey guys." she said, Ron and Harry said their hello's and smiled as the three of them walked together, "Say, where's Tom?" asked Ron, "Oh he's heading towards the next class with his fellow slytherins."
"Speaking of, Emma, how smart is Tom, huh?" Harry chuckled, "I can't believe he knew all those things, even I can't answer it." said Ron making Emma giggle.
"I don't know, apparently he had some advance reading." she replied, "Oh, classic. Just like the great Draco Malfoy." said Harry, chuckling.
"Draco studies?" asked Emma, "Correction, Draco Malfoy is bloody smart as Hermione herself." pointed out Ron.
"Yeah, did you know that Draco's grades are just as same as Hermione's. Those two are like, competing for first place or something, I guess it's because we're now graduating this year." said Harry, "Harry, those two have been competing over their grades since we were first year." Ron said with a heavy sigh.
Emma nodded, "Ah so no wonder. But why did Snape looks like he was shocked or something? He doesn't even know about Tom."
"Hmm . . . I literally don't know." answered Harry and Ron in chorus.
The next class, Emma joined Harry and Ron walking towards the Charms classroom, where Mr. Flitwick was standing above a pile of books, "Good Morning class, now take a seat all of you -"
Emma took a seat between Harry and Ron, scanning the classroom to see any Slytherins but there was non. Turns out the Gryffindors are having it with Hufflepuffs. "What class would be Malfoy taking this time?" Emma whispered to Ron beside her, "Beats me." He shrugged, "- but I think they're having double schedule of Transfiguration with McGonnagal. Pansy mentioned that earlier with Lavender, I just overheard it." he answered. Emma just nodded, can't stop wondering what Tom is doing right that moment.
As Tom, with the other Slytherins exited the Transfiguration classroom, Blaise still couldn't stop laughing. "Geeez Nott is really in trouble, I can't believe he accidentaly turned Crabbe into a pig." he said between his laughs. "Oi Theodore!" Phoebe yelled, just as a good looking brown haired Slytherin faced towards their direction, "What is it Lestrange?" he smirked.
"Goodluck for your detention with Mcgonnagal later idiot, you deserve it." She said as she laughed, "Oh shut up Lestrange -" he rolled her eyes, but smirked anyways, "- don't miss me too much while I'm away, alright?" he winked and left.
Pansy, Blaise and Tom laughed at Phoebe's flustered face right after Theodore Nott winked at her, "Oh quiet, all of you " she groaned. "Theo's getting more of an arse than ever." She rolled her eyes as they walked towards the Great Hall.
"Hey, I never did asked, what's up with you and Nott by the way?" Tom asked as he smirked at her, "Felton, get that smirk out of your face, you look like Draco, literally." She hissed, "Oh don't get pissed -" He laughed, "So, what's up?" he added.
"Phoebe and Theo used to date." Blaise laughed as he earned a glare from the Slytherin witch, "Theo was Phoebe's long term boyfriend. They dated like, for 3 years since our third year and they broke up last year." Pansy pointed out as she smirked.
"Oh I'm sorry -" Felton said, but Phoebe cut him off saying, "Oh please, don't be." She rolled her eyes, "Basically, Theodore's a twat, and he's not worth it anyways." She added softly, "Can you tell me what happened?" Tom asked carefully as Phoebe let out a small smile, "To make the story short, Me and Theo just decided to break up, we thought it's better if we just stayed as friends, you know?" she lied. Pansy and Blaise raised a brow at her story.
Pansy knew it was a bit touchy for Phoebe to open that topic so she cut her off, "- but you know what's the best part of it, Felton?" she smirked, "What?" Tom asked, "When Malfoy basically beat up Theo at the common room, know Professor knew about it 'cause it was only us, Slytherins who saw it." She laughed, "It was a good fight I tell you." Blaise added, just as Phoebe chuckled a bit. "Yeah." she said as the four entered the Great Hall.
As the lot approached their seats, Malfoy bumped into someone, "Oh geez, I'm so sorry." said Tom as he helped a female Slytherin to get up, "Not big deal, Itwas my fault anyways, I should've watched where I was going." she said as she fixed her uniform, Tom didn't look up instead he got all her books that fell and hand it back to her, "Thanks, Malfoy." she said.
"No prob -" he froze. The girl infront of her. He recognized that brown eyes and brown wavy locks anywheren "Jade?" He asked, shocked.
"What?" The girl asked, "Oh, I'm Astoria, remember? Daphne's younger sister " she laughed, "you must've forgot." She added.
"Uhm . . . I - yeah, I must've." he said sheepishly. "Well anyways, I got to go, bye Malfoy." then she left leaving a dumfounded Tom Felton behind her.
"I swear she looks exactly like Jade" he said to himself, "Hey mate, you alright, I saw you bump into Greengrass over there." asked Alex as he went near him, "Nah, I'm alright." he said, "Oh okay, well, see you later then - oh and Felton," he whispered, "- just so you know, Dumbledore's back, he just arrived not long ago, you and Emma better go to him later after class " he whispered.
"Oh yeah, thanks mate." He said as he walked towards Phoebe, Pansy and Blaise. "Oi where have you been?" Zabini asked as Tom sat down next to Lestrange, "I just . . . had a chat with Alex." he replied, "Hey, you alright?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He answered, "I defintely am going to have an headache though." He thought to himself as he sighed.
The whole students had their lunch and as Tom stood up and took his belongings, he gazed towards the Gryffindor table, "Hmm Potter, Weasley, Weasley, Longbottom, Brown but no Granger." He said to himself as he furrow his brows, "Hey guys, I gotta talk to the Gryffindors for a bit, ask where Emma is, I'll see you at class." He said to his fellow Slytherins, "Alright, see you Tom."
Felton walked towards the Gryffindor table, "Hey, have anyone of you seen Emma? I noticed she's not here." He whispered to Ginny and Harry, "Oh, Emma left early, said she has to go to the libarary." said Ginny, "Hermione took a lot of classes this year, that's why Emma's catching up with it." sighed Harry.
"Oh." said Tom, "Oi Malfoy!" Someone shouted through the Hufflepuff table, Tom shot his brow up as he gazed towards the direction of a guy with a blonde hair, "Yeah?" He asked feeling confused, "See you tomorrow at the Quidditch Pitch!" he yelled as the other Hufflepuff laughed, "We're gonna beat you snakes tomorrow's match!" yelled another Hufflepuff.
"Wait . . . Quidditch?!" Tom's eyes turned wide as he faced Ginny, Harry and Ron. The three Gryffindor's exchanged worried glances, "Blaise and Alex must've forgot to tell you that there's a match between Slytherin and Hufflepuff tomorrow." Harry said sheepishly, "Sorry 'bout that Felton." he added.
Tom turned pale more than ever, "What am I going to do? I don't know anything about Quidditch, I don't even know how to ride a broomstick for god's sakes!" he whispered furiously as he rubbed his face and buried it. "I am so in trouble."
