Potions had to be the worst class more so for Carmilla than anyone else. For some reason Snape took extra pleasure in making derrogatory comments about vampires.
"Does anyone know what would happen if bitten by a vampire" Snape said.
No one raised their hand.
"Come now I'm sure someone must know"
Again no one made a move to raise their hand.
"How disappointing, anyhow it would be wise to take notes since their will be an essay due. If your bitten by a vampire two things may happen if they drink every last drop of your blood you will die. But if the vampire leaves at least one drop of blood in your body you will change into a vampire."
"What does the life of a vampire consist of" Hermione asked. Asking this earned her an elbow in the ribs from Ron.
"The life of a vampire is a life of loneliness. Vampires are immortal they age much more slowly. They usually aren't very well accepted in society."
"No wonder their not accepted, their all freaks." Pansy said.
That was the last straw she could handle listening to the crap Professor Snape was saying but not from this girl.
"Some of us would rather be a freak than look like a pug like you" Carmilla snapped.
"Its not our fault your what you are" Pansy sneered.
"I never said it was your fault for me being what I am. But before you start shooting your mouth off you better have your facts straight yes I'm a vampire. But I'm also a witch so that makes me twice as strong as you, so your best bet would be to just leave me alone." Carmilla said through gritted teeth. The entire class was taken back by her outburst.
"Five points from Gryffindor" Snape barked.
"But she made a rude comment"
"Another five points from gryffindor, keep talking and I'll keep taking points away" Snape sneered.
Carmilla kept her mouth shut through the rest of the class. Even when he made comments about vampires being one of the lowest creatures on earth. Then he assigned them a potion to make during class that if you drink it, and a vampire tries to drink your blood it will poison them and eventually kill them.
What a lovely experience this is going to be making a potion that could kill me Carmilla thought.
"Your going to work in pairs, Ms. Parkinson you'll be paired with Mr.Goyle, Mr. Potter with Mr.Finnigan, Ms.Granger with Mr. Weasley, and Mr.Malfoy with Ms.Hannigan.
Great I'm paired up with the guy that feels the need to stare at me continuosly through the day.
"Gather your materials and join your partners you'll have until the end of class to finish the potion." Snape said.
"I'll feel so bad for you Drakie-poo, you have to be paired up with that freak with the attitude. Don't worry the class will be over in no time just think of me to make you feel better." Pansy cooed.
"If I thought about you it will make me either pass out or puke up my breakfast." Draco said disgustedly.
Draco made his way to sit at the table that Carmilla sat at and stood next to her."For us to get high marks on this potion it would be best if we at least tried to act civil to each other until the end of class."Carmilla said.
"I have no problem acting civil until the end of the class, but you were the one who perceived me as being how did you put it quite cocky." Draco said with a smirk.
"Well you were staring at me throughout breakfast.It was quite rude I have this thing with people staring at me" Carmilla said.
"Well there was no need to snap at me for staring, I wasn't staring at you because your a half blood, I was staring at you because I like your eyes their awesomely unique."
"Yeah my eyes are so awesome, just as awesome as my fangs" Carmilla said sarcastically. Why is this guy talking about my eyes one might actually think he was flirting with me. But that was just out of the question why would anyone flirt with me I was the school freak.
Once they chopped all the ingredients they had to be put in the cauldron and stirred 75 times and then two drops of a vampire's blood has to be added quickly after the stirring.
"Oh crap"
"What?" Draco asked.
"Snape didn't give us any vampire blood to mix with our potion. He wants me to mess up on this potion, that's why he forgot to give us the blood. It won't matter to you he'll take it all out on me. Well I got news for him he doesn't want to give me any blood, I'll use my own."
"What!?" Draco hissed.
"Just stand in front of me so no one can really see what I'm doing" Carmilla said. As Draco did this she rolled up her sleeve sunk her fangs into her forearm, she held her arm over the cauldron and let two drops drip into it. Draco stood there stunned for a minute then snapped out of his shockened stupor. He didn't say much the rest of the class. They finished the potion bottled it wrote both their names on it and left it on Snape's desk.
"Why did you do that?" Draco asked.
"Because I wasn't going to let Snape think he got the better of me, he wanted us to mess the potion up, which we would have if not for the vampire's blood. That's the whole key to the potion, without it the potion is useless. Their wouldn't have been any repercussions for you because your in slytherin, I would have gotten all the crap. That's why I did it" Carmilla said.
"Oh"
"Since the class is almost over you don't have to be civil to me" Carmilla said.
"Why wouldn't I be at least civil?"
"Trust me if your little friend Pansy saw you being to civil to me she wouldn't be too happy. Like for instance right now she's shooting daggers at me."
"That pug you have nothing to worry about she thinks I'm in love with her because she's in love with me."
"Still I don't think it would be wise for me to talk to you because one thing I've learned about purebloods is that their all about one self. They only do what's best for themselves, from what I've seen they don't care about anybody but themselves." Carmilla said.
"You keep talking about purebloods a lot, you seem to think you know so much about us. How is that?" Draco said.
"That's for me to know and you to not know" Carmilla said.
"Oh I'll know because you'll tell me someday not today but someday" Draco said with a smile.
