potions and lies

4- Happy birthday to me

Y/N POV -on her birthday morning

I hadn't really had chance to speak to Draco, well actually I'd been avoiding it, but as it's my birthday I don't want to be on bad terms with him, much longer next time I see him I'll go and make up.

Professor Dumbledore had given a speech the other day about that Tri wizard tournament thing and I was hoping to see Draco there but apparently he's been spending a lot of time at home lately, I might just go visit him at Malloy manor, I'd been there before and his father and mother where quite fond of me although his mother was usually away, unless of important family business as they called it, see I'm the only one Draco told about this but his father Lucius and mother Narcissa weren't together anymore, they'd pretend to be for appearances of course but behind closed doors they rarely even spoke, something to do with alliances apparently, I have no clue what that meant but I think that had really been affecting Draco more than he let on, hence why I cut him so much slack all the time.

Anyway I've been thinking about entering that tournament lately, apparently they'd changed the age to 18 and above and considering today's my 18th birthday I'm eligible for it ,unlike most my year, see I'm one of the oldest and most wouldn't be turning 18 till after the tournament was over.
A lot of them where also annoyed about that.
You could also be bared from entering if u had been given a certain number of detentions the past two years, for instance I heard these two older boys who where twins were not allowed to enter, they where constantly in detention due to pulling pranks on all the lower years and a few teachers, they used to get away with it, but now since they have a reputation for it, people point fingers straight in their direction when ever a pranks pulled. I hadn't had many conversations with Fred and George but they'd ask me to keep quiet if I ever saw them doing something stupid, which of course I did, I'm not a snitch and I'm definitely not getting on the twins bad sides.

Time skip third lesson
Classes had been boring all day and a few teachers had wished me happy birthday but now I had D.A.T.D.A which was always fun.

"Can anyone tell me what's inside?" Lupin continued
"That's a boggart" a boys voice from the back of the room muttered
"Correct mr Thomas ...now can anyone tell what a boggart looks like?"

"No-one knows..." shouted out Hermione unsurprisingly
The Weasly boy next to her muttered something as she said so
"Boggarts are shapeshifters , they take the shape of whatever particular person fears the most, that's what makes them s..."
"So terrifying" Professor Lupin interrupted her

"Luckily a very simple charm exists to repel a boggarts....Miss L/n could you tell me what that would be?"

"Uh...urm yes it's Riddikulus Professor.."
"Very good miss L/n, 5 points to slytherin"

We practiced the spell for a bit and then eventually we took turns in using it against our boggarts.
First was Ron weasly his fear was a spider , I hated spiders so much so that's understandable,in fact mine would probably be the same.

Next was Hermione, hers was Professor McGonagall giving her a fail grade, which made everyone laugh.
Then was me... professor Lupin opened the doors and out came me ...but I was different..I had the dark mark on my arm and my hands where dripping with blood...but I wasn't upset, I was smiling, I was apart of the dark lords army...."REDDIKULUS!!" And it turned into a doll of me...
I looked towards Professor Lupin who was already looking at me concerned
"Miss L/N stay after class please...Neville you next please"
Nevilles was professor Snape which he turned into Snape dressed as his grandmother,now that will make you laugh ahahaha.

But I'd never really realised how much the thought of joining Voldemort scared me, surely I'd thought about it, see I've always felt this feeling deep inside me since my parents passed,a dark feeling, I tried to ignore it tho, My parents died when I was younger and my aunt had adopted me, it was apparently a fire that killed them.. I can't exactly remember, but according to my aunt ,my family was well respected in the wizard community for our long line of pure bloods, I thought it was stupid that they care so much about blood status as did my aunt but sadly it means a lot to quite a few family's ESPECIALLY the Malfoys, if you ain't a pure blood they don't have much respect if any for you...

Time skip-end of class

"Miss L/N... are you okay?"
"Of course professor, just with all the talk of he who shall not be named...it's bound to scare some of us, right?"
He looked at me with sympathy
"Your right Miss l/n... well i hope you know you are safe at Hogwarts and as long as Dumbledores alive and even I, that won't happen...I don't want you worrying on your birthday.."
As he said so, he placed his hand over my thigh
"18 right?..."
"Yes Professor" his eyes seemed to lock onto mine
"How does it feel to be becoming a woman?"
His hand seemed to tighten its grip, it didn't seem like he had any meaning to it..just comforting...but it felt good.
"I don't know .. I feel the same I guess" my cheeks began to blush.
He smiled at me and removed his grip..
"Well you should be off to dinner, here have some chocolate, it'll put you in a better mood"

I left and went straight to dinner.
"Come on Y/n.." yelled Hermione
I had ate with her a few times so far she had introduced me to her friends Harry Potter, the boy everyone knew and who Draco despised, and Ronald Weasly, he was brothers to George and Fred.
I sat down and throughout the entirety of dinner all everyone could talk about was who was putting the names in the goblet of fire to join the tri wizard tournaments, mean while all I could think about was Professor Lupins hand on my thigh...it was making me feel strange but a good strange, I'd never really felt like that before but it was a nice feeling.

After dinner a few kids went to put their names in the goblet and after much debating i decided I may as-well, Hermione and Luna came and wished me happy birthday and Luna passed me a weird pare of socks "it repels Nargles, you see they have a habit of steeling shoes" she smiled and continued explaining how they where not extinct even tho most people thought so.

I was supposed to I have extra lessons with Professor Snape next so after I put my name in and Luna had finally left to go to bed, I set off to his class room ,when I got there he was already stood outside his door waiting for me.
"Miss l/n...where have you been?"
"Sorry professor , I was entering my name into the tournaments" I smiled at him
But he seemed to get angrier when I said that.
"Stupid girl, do you have any idea how dangerous that tournament is?...you could die...do you even think before you do things?.."
He seemed genuinely upset.... did he care for me?
"I can handle myself don't worry" I reassured him.
"Well...I'll hope your name doesn't get picked, for your sake"

He walked in his class room and I followed behind... "Professor.." I stopped and pulled myself up to sit on one of the desk tables, swinging my legs back and forth "do you care for me..." I said to wind him up

He stormed over and placed his hands ether side of me on the desk, his face was now leaning into mine and he looked caught..
"No ...well ..as my student of course if that is what you mean..."
I just looked into his eyes, his eyes where completely black, it was quite beautiful, I must have been still feeling the affects of my encounter with Professor Lupin,because I had a huge urge to place my lips against Professor Snapes and he was so close to me...it would be so easy to do...I could ..before I knew it my lips where against his...they where cold but soft. He stood still for a moment letting it happen, but quickly pushed me with force off of him.
"WHAT THE FUCK MISS L/N...WH..WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
"I..I'm..I'm so sorry, I didn't mean t.."
"GET OUT..."
"But..wait..I'm sorry..."
"GET ...OUT"
I ran down the halls to my room crying in complete embarrassment..what a mess
...what a wonderful birthday.
I'll just pretend I'm Sick tomorrow, there's no way I'm going to lesson after that, that's if Professor Snape doesn't have me expelled of course....
Why do I always manage to do the most stupid things.
