So I'm sitting next to Scorpius Malfoy. Many people sit next to Scorpius Malfoy, what's the big deal? He's only the hottest guy on the entire earth.. No problem, just look forward and pretend to listen to his mother. Did I say pretend?I mean listen. Just listen. Ok this is ridiculous. Just stop staring at his hands as he holds the pen so gently.. The board! Look at the board... Board's not working.. The desk? The desk is good. I like that shade of wood, like the floorboards in my kitchen at home.. It is a nice desk, you know what would make the desk nicer? Scorpius on it... Brain! Stop going into detail.. Oh god. As a sudden thought entered my head, I seemed to have a little attack... I mean I sort of did a little jig... And naturally fell off my chair.
Floor, meet face. Face, meet floor. You shall become great friends. Oh you already know each other? That's ace.
Did I mention the whole class is laughing at me? No? Well they are.. Why is my life such a fail?
I sit up, blushing slightly. Professor Malfoy is glaring at me... Nothing new there. She's got that manic look in her eye. She's going to say something in three...
Two..
One.
"If you would be so kind to not be such an idiot and get off the floor this instant it would be highly appreciated, I'm trying to teach a class and you" oh the venom in her voice "are interrupting again! We were about to start making the potion!" told you she hates me.
Scorpius offered his hand to help me up, which I took without thinking. I only realised when I was like half way up, and the electric feeling in my hand was making a overwhelming amount of heat spread up my arm and all over my body.
My eyes shot up to his and he was looking at me with a weird look on his face.. That was.. Odd. I quickly let go of his hand and quickly said "thanks" before sitting on my chair again and hiding my face from the world.
As people started moving around me I picked up my head and looked at the board to see what we were actually doing. Dissolving potion. This could be bad.
"Are you going to help or not?" Scorpius asked, moving the cauldron to the centre of the desk.
"Uh.. Yeah. Just tell me what to do, I'm sort of useless though, probably be better doing it without me" I shrugged
"No, as they say, two heads are better then one" he smiled.. My heart did not just skip a beat... Psh come on I'm not in love with him! Get a grip... I'm pathetic.
"Yes, two heads are better then one most of the time. But when a brain of the top of the class and the brain of the bottom of the class and the reason of more then twenty classroom explosions, remember third year?"
Scorpius burst out laughing. He's beautiful when he laughs. "Remember? How could I forget?! You exploded the classroom and your potion went everywhere, covering everyone, then the potion started making all our skin change colour repeatedly, we had to stay in quarantine for two weeks!"
This was... Good. We talked while we made our potion, mostly about my many failures... But we just talked and talked, I forgot about the nervousness and the butterflies. It was fine.
Then everything came tumbling down. And by everything I mean me. It felt like something pulled my feet from the ground and I fell face first into the desk, which mean I knocked over the potion... All over Scorpius.
I think someone up there hates me. Well of course they do. There is no other reason why my life is one big utter screw up. I mean who else could tip an entire potion over Scorpius freaking Malfoy. We were getting on so well too and the potion was actually decent, probably the best I've done all year, or all of my years.
Wait. The potion was actually decent. I stared at Scorpius in realization... His clothes were dissolving. There was a panic look on his face... And his chest was showing... And his abs... I feel so bad that I'm enjoying this.
Someone who wasn't enjoying it was his mother. Professor Malfoy was fussing over her son, but mostly screaming at me. But for some reason I wasn't listening.. Probably because the potion had started dissolving his trousers. Professor Malfoy screamed something at me like give him your robe. So I did. I guess it's apologies
"I-I'm sorry" Because I was. "I don't know what happened! I was sitting and then.. I don't know.. I'm sorry.." Someone was laughing... Oh. Now I know.
Professor Malfoy didn't seem to even think about my apology. Instead she shouts. "Albus Potter I swear you're the worst student I have ever seen" ouch.. "You're a waste of magical abilities" Rubbing salt into the wound "you will never pass your NEWTs and you will never make anything of yourself!" Bit harsh.. "Leave! I never want to see you in this classroom ever again!"...she's kicking me out? .. But that means I'm one NEWT short.. "You're pathetic!" I didn't move.. I couldn't.. I just stared.
"Mum.." Scorpius started "it was an accident"
"An accident that if it was another potion you could have died!" She looks at me "I told you to leave"
...so I did. I ran actually. I ran until I felt cold air on my face, ran until I was as far from there as I could. I ran until I fell, a tree branch sticking out of the ground caused me to trip, again. I hid in the Forbidden Forest. Where no one could find me.
Worst student.. Waste of magic ability.. Never pass.. Never make anything of yourself.. Pathetic.
What made it worse was that it was all true..
