Sorry, sorry , sorry sorry! I know I took awhile to upload this but I was revising for my Spanish exam/ moping around.

Thank you to my reviewers!

Please review this chapter, I really want to know your ideas!

Oh and Elyssa you are awesome!

'and that one there is amortentia , the most powerful love potion in the world , Its rumoured to smell differently to each person according to what attracts them,' my Hermione said purposely avoiding my gaze.

'Now amortentia doesn't create actual love, but it does cause powerful infatuation or obsession, we will begin to learn the basics of brewing this potion today' My ears pricked up, and for once in class I listened intently.

I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER.

I loosened my tie, glancing around the corridor. I had seen Slughorn eating dinner in the great hall already but I didn't want to take any chances. I unlocked the door not bothering with words, Voldermort had begun teaching me wandless magic and I had become better every day.

Professor Slughorns class was completely empty just as I expected. I edged around his desk fumbling for the key to the storage cupboard; I knew he had resourced to muggle ways after some of the first years learned the spell, stealing all his Ashwinder eggs-

I heard a creak and snapped my head to the door, my eyes wide and alarmed. The door stayed still as no-one entered. I smiled relieved and began twisting the key around in the old lock of the door. I finally heard a click and slid in.

Scanning the jars for the correct ingredients was easy, however actually removing them without it being noticeable was a different story. I managed to grab most of the items I needed and decided to go to diagon alley for the rest.

I smirked to myself collecting them all and hiding them in my cloak.

I left the classroom smiling deviously at my little plan. On to the next.

'Draco?'

I froze my face turning into one of a frightened child before contorting into a knowing grin.

'Yes Hermione?' I turned around; she had her hands on her hips and looked very suspicious.

'What were you doing in there?' she accused lifting her eyebrow.

'Oh, just having a chat with Slughorn' I flexed trying to sink further into my large cloak.

'Really? Oh,' she grimaced and began turning in the other direction, then quickly span back on her foot, 'I really just wanted to ask you to make Cassius leave me alone!' she yelled, obviously annoyed.

'No can do,' I lifted my shoulders like it was an inevitable and began to walk to my dorm.

She stood glaring at my back, and stomped her foot.

I couldn't help the snicker that burst out.


My head whiplashed to the side as Lucius hit me.

'Focus Draco!' he demanded, 'I don't know what's came over you this past year!'

He looked at me in pure disgust and resumed lecturing me on the ministry. I reached up rubbing my jaw in frustration. The room was dreary and lacked character, I had decided to visit the Malfoy manor during the weekend hoping to content father enough to not see him for another couple of months. I imagined Hermione walking in and brightening the space, everything she touched turned to gold, my eyes glazed over in wonder before blinking back to reality.

'-Avery said you had been slacking in your training with Voldermort-'

Slacking! How would he even know! I could hex that man to Hogwarts and back!

'Listen father, I'm really tired. Mind if we finish this tomorrow?' I didn't meet his eyes when he finally looked at me.

'Very well, but don't disappoint me again'


Hermione POV

'Hermione, Hermione , Hermione,' I was being prodded incessantly in the back by Cassius who was watching me read Hogwarts a history.

'what!' I snapped. Turning around to look at him, and holding my hand up as the light from the window shone in my eyes.

'I'm bored.' He smiled beautifully.

'Then go somewhere else'

'But I promised Draco,' he murmured obviously contemplating leaving.

'Okay, then I'll leave, 'I barked picking up my books and deciding to read next to the lake.

Cassius didn't bother following me like he usually had and I was glad, kinda.

I sat down on the wet grass staring out to the lake. I thought back to my encounter with Draco yesterday and immediately felt a flush of pure anger, who does he think he is?

'Oh, just having a chat with Slughorn' I studied the words before realising something.

Slughorn was in the great hall during dinner...
