Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in forever, there was finals, and craziness, and then I forgot. Please forgive me! Also, I'm having trouble still learning how to use and get exactly what I want into each chapter. :P
We were silent except for the clinking of vials and the occasional quips such as, "No, three quarts."
"Potter has done it again! The perfect Emotion Potion!" cried Professor Slughorn. "Just like his mother!"
"My God, I hate Potter," I said through clenched teeth. "Potter this, Potter that, 'Oh Potter, you're so amazing!"
"It's disgusting," Draco agreed, nodding. "He shouldn't even be here today. He should be dead like his vile, disgusting parents! He's all… famous and he didn't even do anything."
I rolled my eyes. "Calm down, Malfoy. Jealousy doesn't suit you."
He forced a laugh. "It's just disgusting." He tipped the entire contents of a greenish-blue vial into the cauldron and began stirring vigorously. The potion rapidly began changing colors, and some sloshed onto the table.
"Whoa! Hey, Draco, stop." I placed my hand on his stirring hand, and he slowed down. I raised my eyebrows and gave him a look that said, 'why the moodiness?' Again, that little worried voice moved to the front of my mind.
"I'm a bit… under some pressure, okay? We'll talk about it tonight." He pointed his wand at the already dried potion on the table. "Tergeo." The potion immediately began siphoning off.
I sighed as everyone got up to leave, and shoved my Advanced Potion-Making book into my bag.
"Midnight," Draco whispered, right in my ear. He gave me a swift kiss on the cheek, and was gone.
I half-grinned to myself and left.
Sorry it's super short! I'm short on time, and I have to watch out for my parents, because they don't know about this. I promise next chapter will be nice and long! :)
