Much to Your Name's chagrin, her potions partner for the year was Larry. She knew Larry wasn't too impressed either. She had really wanted to be placed with Edward.

Your Name grew up with Edward, they were the best of friends. However, something over the summer changed.

Edward hadn't noticed the way Your Name's hips began to carve into voluminous hills, or that her pert breast began to swell.

Your Name had noticed Edward however. He grew taller, rougher... hairier.

Anytime he came near she would blush uncontrollably, it was frustrating! Oh... where was I? YES Edward had been paired off with ugh... Violet. They also grew up with Violet. Your Name guessed she could call Violet a friend, but she was shrill... and annoying. And she wore too much make up.

Your Name couldn't help but cast glances constantly at the pair sitting in front of her, giggling constantly. It wasn't fair... them getting closer while she was stuck with Larry.

However, her and Larry were the top students... so it meant that potions was a bit of a breeze, they were leagues ahead of the other students. They often finished the potions way faster which lead to a lot of down time experimenting and researching.

"So I found this potion." Larry said annoyingly

"And I care why?" [Y/N] snears back

"Heard you had a crush on Edward."

Your Name blushed... who told him that? "I do not."

"Don't lie to me."

If Your Name didn't know any better she would have thought she saw a flash of ... jealousy? In Larry's eyes.

"I have the perfect potion for your crush."

Your Name rolled her eyes. But curiosity got the better of her. "What's the potion?"

"So it's true... You have a crush?"

"Why do you care who I have a crush on?" Larry went red. Your Name

felt a sense of triumph... that shut him up.

It's a love potion."

"That's forbidden Larry, if we make that we could get into serious trouble!"

"loosen up Your Name... god... take a walk on the wild side every now and then."

Your Name was torn. She was a stickler for the rules. But her thirst for knowledge was unquenchable. Your Name wasn't like other witches. She had bushy hair and loose robes... she didn't pay attention to the hair and make up spells like Violet did. Maybe a love potion would be just the right amount of push for Edward to at least notice her. She wouldn't use it forever. She knew if he just saw her for who she truly was... that he would love her... she thinks.

"Anyone in there?"

Damn. Your Name was day dreaming again. She must have looked like an idiot to Larry... wait why did she care what Larry thought? "Ok I'm in." They spent the rest of the afternoon carefully making the potion. It was a dangerous potion to make, even the tiniest amount of the wrong ingredient could lead to disaster.

So what's so good about Edward anyway?"

"I mean... what's not good about him?"

He's too smug"

"Smug?"

"Yeah you heard me"

"You sound a little jealous Larry."

"Shut up."

: "Also... its this just for me ? Seems a bit nice of you to help me with

this potion."

"Well..."

Your Name felt a pang in her chest... she wasn't sure why.

Violet has caught my eye recently..."

"Violet?"

Of course Violet. The high maintenance, bitchy and... sexy... Violet. Your Name felt a little disappointed. What does Violet have that Your Name doesn't? Oh that's right... everything. Your Name could hear Violet and Edward giggling together again. Her blood boiled.

"Now whose the jealous one?"

"I'm not jealous" Your Name was very jealous.

"Whatever you say... hey pass me the pig's tongue please"

"Here"

Both wizards were concentrating on their perspective tasks, so when Your Name passed Larry the tongue, their hands touched, just for a second. A tingle went up Your Name's arm. What was happening to her? They glanced at each other for a moment and then looked away. Larry was so startled by the moment he had not realised that he had dropped a lick too much of the tongue into their cauldron. Your Name noticed however, "No... wait!"-

The cauldron exploded, acting fast, Larry dived on top of Your Name to protect her from the fallout. It was no use. Both the wizards were covered in exploded poison. It took a second to realise the position Your Name was in. Under Larry on the floor. He was pressed right up against her, shivering from the adrenaline.

"Are you ok?"

They meet eyes. For the longest second they stare at each other. Your

Name couldn't pull herself away from those mossy green pools. "Uh-"

"Can I kiss you?"

"Oh my god no... I'm not... um I mean... I'm just not ready for that kind of... stuff."

"Wtf that was a joke... prude"

Your Name and Larry's faces screwed quickly into looks of distaste. Larry jumped off of Your Name and left the class in a huff. Your Name had to peel herself off the floor. She looked around her with tears welling up in her eyes.

She hated him. She hated Larry. At least... she wanted to.
