Draco
When I sat down in potions and looked up, I jumped in surprise, as I hadn't even realised anyone was sitting in the seat next to mine. She had her head bowed low, and my new timetable told me her initials where A.C.who did I know with those initials? I asked myself quietly. As I pondered this sentence, she glanced up before I had a chance to look away and caught me staring; she raised a brow and put her attention to Snape. In the few moments that she looked up I realised it was Anya who I had been seated beside, the sister of the Clearwater girl who had already left school some years ago. I decided to ignore her right back as we never had got on well, I looked over at Theodore Nott who was stuck beside that loony lovegood girl and caught his eye just as he mouthed the words 'help me'. I looked down trying not to laugh realising that the Anya girl had her eyes on me, but I could guess without even having to raise my head that the look that I was being given wasn't exactly to check me out.
''Now in class today we will be making a truth potion so all your equipment is on your desks'' professor Snape announced clapping his hands to makes cauldrons and ingredients appear on all the tables, ''Now get to work! Instructions are on page 394! Now work with your partners and NO MISTAKES or detention with me after class!'' everyone quickly got to work, trying to find the page in their instruction books and busying themselves with the equipment. I heard Anya groan and smiled, ''Got something against potions Anya?'' she glared at me before replying, ''Not exactly, more the partners I'm put with!'' she gave me a sarcastic grin and set to work on starting our potion.
''Right, it says here that you need to squish two of those squirmy things and cut it up eight times before adding it to the cauldron while I stir thirty-four times.'' I looked at her and she stared back with eyebrows raised. ''What?'' she queried. ''Why do I have to squish the stuff?'' I asked stubbornly. ''Because I think they resemble you, so just do it,'' she stared hard at me while saying this and I tried not to laugh at her insult. When I raised a brow she rolled her eyes and grabbed one of the bugs, ''Fine I'll do one and you do the other o.k.?'' I nodded and set to work.
''Oh shit!'' I looked up to see a worried expression plastered on her face. ''What?'' I asked now also getting worried as she continued to stare into the pot. ''Why the fuck is this stuff Green?'' she seemed to say more to herself than me, I looked at my book to see what colour it was meant to turn out like and realised it was meant to be clear. ''We're in deep shit now'' I mumbled to us both. ''Yeah we fucking are Malfoy! What the hell are we going to do? They say that we are meant to be done by now but it's not the right colour!'' she rested her face in her hands while I decided what we should do. ''How about we see where we have gone wrong first yeh?'' she nodded and looked at her instruction book.
After a while of negotiating we realised that both of us had put six leaves of hargontine in without realising, which meant there were twelve in the cauldron. ''Right so we're fucked anyways so let's just add random things into the pot yeh?'' I announced to Anya. Once again she nodded and we started to chuck stuff in. But after ten minutes it had decided to change blue instead, and class was nearly over! ''Shit here comes Snape!'' Anya whispered quickly to me and I caught Snape's eye as he strided over. ''Well, Well, Well what have we here? Not a truth potion that's for sure.'' Snape eyed the mixture while he said this and announced louder to the whole class, ''Seems our dear Miss Clearwater and Mr Malfoy have created a Poison so dangerous it could kill a man in one taste!'' He smirked at Anya while he said this and she glared at me in response whispering, ''Oh yeh great plan! Throw stuff in? I mean what the fuck?''I shrugged my shoulders at this and turned to look back at Snape. ''Detention for you both at the end of class!'' and with that he strode off again peering into cauldrons as he did so. ''Fuckin' Dickhead...'' I heard her mumble to herself and smiled.
