A/N Whee, please review. This takes place in potions class, with Professor Slughorn. (Yeah, I know its nothing like the book. DEAL.)

Millie's POV

Potions. The only class I accelerated in back home. Well, and Divination, but that's because I faked it. So shh.

Professor Slughorn -heh heh- set us up in partners. Hermione and Harry, Ron and Lavender, and me and the Draco Malfoy.

"Thanks a lot pairing me with a lousy Gryffendor smee myeh nleh." He mumbled, but vey conspicuously.

"Ah, Draco. I've heard a lot of bad things about you." I stuck my hand out. "Hi, I'm a pureblood."

He nodded at me. "Well, at least you're not muggle-born."

I laughed. "What?" He asked.

"Ha, I'm just not used to your British words. Back in Cali, we called 'em 'humans.' But 'muggle' is so much more fun to say. Muggle muggle muggle"

Draco almost laughed.

"Welp, lets get to it then." I said, pointing towards our cauldron. "So...I'll cut up this little shell=y turd looking thing, and you have fun with the powdery stuff."

I got to work, but he didn't move. I glanced up and he had his eyebrow cocked. "What?"

"Shell-y turd looking thing? Powdery stuff? Really?" He was actually smiling now.

"I know the names." I smacked him playfully on the arm. "I just, don't...can't pronounce them..."

He sneered.

We got to work, and it was NOT easy to slice the shell thing. Every time I brought the knife down, it would slip away.

I got an idea. I pulled my wand out of my boot and levitated a bunch of Lego bricks from Neville's room. Then, I got a meat pounder from...I honestly don't know.

I built a large rectangle around the shell, exactly the size of the meat pounder. I put the shell-thing in it and brought the meat pounder down hard. It didn't slip away!

I put the stuff I 'borrowed' back and poured the shell juice in our potion, making it perfect. Draco raised his eyebrows. I put a smug look on.

We got an A.

"Hey Draco, you wanna study after dinner?" I asked.

"You mean, like a, uh..." He looked worried.

"Get over yourself. Like studying. You know, getting smarter? As friends?"

"Oh. I've never had a friend before..."

"What?" I asked. Had I heard him right?

"Sure bye!" And with that, he ran away.

Hermione came up next to me. "What was that?"

"Draco really needs a hug." I said, shaking my head.
