chapter 5

Katherines POV
We were walking to potions all together with me in the middle and all of us without our uniforms walking in the halls receiving stares from boys and girls.
( an- iconic walk 😫)
we walked in and sat down - shit. I forgot we had potions with gryffindors. I saw Draco and Blaise sit where we were. Then I saw Harry, Hermione, and Ron walk in.

"Ugh, fucking gryffindors," Blaise mutters, which I heard chuckles from draco.

I didn't care for the gryffindors but it still bothered me that they were here because everybody knows the silent war between slytherin and gryffindor.

The boys loved to tease them because of the number of muggle borns in gryffindor. I knew Lucille was muggle born and it never bothered me of course, where I don't really care for blood status coming from a pure blood family. But Draco sure as hell did, merlin I don't know how Lucille does it. Draco calls her a 'filthy mudblood' every single day. I can't believe I had a crush on him in second year. Lorenzo doesn't care for blood status either or we've never really mentioned it, it's just not a big deal I guess.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts when snape walks in as everyone goes silent.

"Majority of you all are year sixes, I should find myself repeating my words ever, but if I am ever put in that situation then I assume you do not belong in this class..." Snape announces. I adjusted myself in my seat because I'm pretty scared of Snape. "You all know what my expectations are. But if you don't then I pity you. Ask your peers around you I'm sure they know."

Snape then proceeded to go on and on about his expectations and such. I am so sick of this shit, I just wanna go back to my dorm.

"I hope most of you remember the Amortentia, and if you haven't, turn to page 359 and 361. Read all about it. I'll be passing potion samples around the room. I advise that you do not ingest it, do not touch the bare potion, and most importantly do not create the potion without my permission" Snape snaps.

"This fucking Amortentia bullshit again?" Blaise bickered as Lucille and I laughed.

"Literally" I added. Draco and Blaise sat in the table across from me, Lucille, and Onyx.

"I'd love to know what you smell, Mr. Zabini," Onyx teased terribly twirling her hair, as she flashed a smirk at him in which he returned. I sat awkwardly with my lips in a line.

Snape walks around then finally reaches our table, Onyx almost immediately grabs it.

"Tell me what you smell Onyx," Lucille asks her. She smiles and takes a long whiff of the potion as we all watch.

"Uh okay so what did you smell..?" I ask

"Yeah, what did you smell?" Blaise jeered. Teasing her in a way?

" We all know she smelled Blaise, can you fucking hurry up with the damn potion?" Draco snapped. Onyx's cheesy smile dropped as she scoffed in return to his comment.

"I smell sweet fruit and the Quidditch field," Onyx enunciated. "Your turn Ms. Granger"

She gently picked up the potion and took a small whiff.

"Blegh. What the hell?" She groaned, "is the default smell of this potion mint?"

"Mint?" Blaise queried. "Who the fuck smells like mint?"

"Oh! Wait, I think I'm getting something,"she continued to inhale it.

"Like umm.. I can't put my fucking finger on it. It's like, some sort of cologne, but there's some mint too. Mint and cologne?" as she put the potion down and shrugged. "How odd"

No fucking way. Lucille fancies Draco fucking Malfoy, I'm not going to say anything of course but wow. just wow. I would have never saw it coming and I still can't process it but in this short moment. Wow.

We all stare at her of course.

"Mint and cologne, I see. Does that sound familiar to any of you, Onyx.. Katherine?" Blaise sarcastically questioned.

"I think so.. it's almost like-. It's almost like I can't smell it right now, too?" Onyx and Blaise started smelling around like the absolute idiots they are. They continue sniffing until they were right by the one and only Draco Malfoy.

"Ding ding ding!" Blaise battered, shaking Dracos shoulders back and forth.

"Th-. There's no way" she said astonished.

"Yes there is now can you hurry the fuck up Lucille your wasting everyone's time with your little pathetic crush on Malfoy" I said annoyed leaning against the table with my hand on my chin.

"The potion doesn't fucking lie, Granger" Draco smirked, "Does the little mudblood Granger fancy me?" He added completely ignoring what I said.

"Uh- Um, w-why would I?" She replied not accomplishing to hide the nervousness in her voice.

"Who wouldn't want to fancy Draco Malfoy in the flesh? He's got beautiful eyes, beautiful chiseled features, and I'm pretty sure he's immaculate in bed," Blaise jesters. Me and Onyx chuckle.

"I sure as hell don't the guy is a man whore" I said while me and Onyx laugh even more.

"Oh please your the one dressed like that. Also I'm irresistible, I get it," Draco swooned. "But don't think I'd give your kind a chance Granger," he mutters. 

She slides the potion to me.

I smell warm cinnamon, smoke, and cologne I think?

"I smell nothing" I shrug and attempt to pass it to Blaise.

"Wait wait wait. The Katherine Sinclair doesn't fancy anyone?" Onyx scoffs sarcastically.

"Yes. Now your turn Blaise!" I said putting the potion in front of him gesturing him to smell it.

Blaise inhales and he almost immediately smiles. "Chanel No. 5, pumpkin pasties, and clean linens"
They wink at each other.

Draco now grabs the potion and sniffs it. I truly do wonder if he'd smell anyone. But then again we're talking about Draco Malfoy.

He sniffs it again and then sets it down again.

"Soo? What did you smell?" I asked him

"Nothing" he says

an- heyy so I haven't posted in the LONGEST but to make up for that I made a pretty long chapter!!
