(Y/N POV)

Although many people welcomed me back i could tell Draco wasn't too happy. Or maybe he was. You cant really tell with him. But our first class was potions. Well it was for me and Hermonie. I didn't tell anyone but i had gotten all O's. Maybe all the hiding away in my dorms gave me extra time to study...

But even though i got perfect scores i new that i wanted to do one thing this year... Try out for the quidditch team. I knew Harry was captain. But i am hoping he doesn't do easy on me.

Try outs are next week though. 

Me and Hermonie walked into potions. The new professor had many cauldrons full of stuff. 

"Hello students!" The man said.

We all grumbled a hi.

The professor's eyes shot to my scar. Now i knew how Harry feels.

"Fascinating. 2 People to survive the killing curse and one of them is in my presence!" He said.

My face felt hot and i looked down. 

"Professor Slughorn." He said holding out his hand.

"Y/N B-black." I said shaking his hand. 

"Your father, such a tragedy. He was such a great student." He said.

My eyes shot up. "You had my father?" I asked. 

He nodded and carried on.

"Today we will be making a p-" The doors opened.

"Sorry professor. Mcgonagall told us to be in this class for the rest of the year." Harry said with Ron at his side.

I smiled at him. This class just got a whole lot better.

"Of course just bring your books."

"We haven't got any." Harry said sheepishly.

"Not to worry, get what you want from the cupboard." 

"Both survivors in my class." I heard him say under his breath. 

"Now as I was saying, I prepared some concoctions this morning. Any ideas what these might be? Yes, Miss...?"

"Granger, sir. That one there is Veritaserum. It's a truth-telling serum. And that would be Polyjuice Potion. It's terribly tricky to make. This is Amortentia. We made it in our 5th year. Its The most powerful love potion in the world. It's rumored to smell differently to each person according to what attracts them. For example, I smell... Freshly mown grass and new parchment and... Spearmint toothpaste." Hermonie blushed.

 "Now Amortentia doesn't create actual love. That would be impossible, but it does cause powerful infatuation or obsession. And for that reason, it is probably the most dangerous potion in this room." He said

Harry came and stood next to me.

"Sir, you haven't told us what's in that one." Katie bell said.

"Oh yes. What you see before you, ladies and gentlemen, is a curious little potion, known as Felix Felicis. But it is more commonly known referred to as—"

" Liquid luck." I said. 

"Yes! 10 points to Griffindor." He told me.

Harry beamed at me.

"Yes, Miss Black. Liquid luck. Desperately tricky to make, disastrous should you get it wrong. One sip and you'll find that all of your endeavours succeed. At least until the effects wear off. So this is what I offer each of you today. One tiny vial of liquid luck to the student or students who in the hour that remains, manages to brew an acceptable Draught of Living Dead. Recipes for which can be found on page 10 of your books. Issue one doubt, however. Only one set of student manage to brew a potion of sufficient quality to claim this prize. Nevertheless, good luck to you all. Let the brewing commence."

I took a cauldron next to Harry. Hermonie was on the other side of him.

"Psst." I said to him as he opened his book.

"Yeah?" He asked me.

"I forgot my book could i look at yours?" I asked.

He nodded and turned to the page.

"Its all scribbled on." He said.

I picked up the book and read closer.

"Who ever had this book was a genius!" I told him.

"Like Hermonie Genius!" I added.

He looked at me.

"What about you, you're smart." He said.

I smiled and shook my head.

"What did you get on your owls then?" He asked.

I pulled my binder closer knowing i had it on the inside cover.

"So its in there?" He asked.

"N-no." I stumbled out. He took the book and his mouth dropped open. 

"Psst Hermonie." He said handing her my report card. 

She looked at it and her mouth dropped as well.

I groaned.

"Ron!" I heard Hermonie whisper yell.

She passed the paper to him.

"Who's is this?!?!" He asked.

"Y/N's." Harry replied.

"GOODJOB!" He said looking a little bummed. 

"I hate you." I said to Harry.

He smirked and continued to make his potion.

"How did you do that?" Hermonie asked Harry.

"You crush it, don't cut it." He replied

"No, the instructions specifically says to cut."

" No, really."

After we finished Slughorn went around the room looking at everyone's. 

I looked at Draco who was shaking his head while reading his book.

"Merlin's beard! You two are Naturals! It is perfect! So perfect I'd just say one drop would kill us all! Here we are then, as promised. I guess i have to give two vial's of Felix Felicis. Congratulations. Use it well."

Me and Harry grinned at each other holding up our vials.

We walked down the halls getting ready to go to lunch. 

(Harry's POV)

"Awh look at that, the DEADly couple." Draco said coming up behind us.

"Shut it Malfoy." I replied.

"You two are becoming like that mud blood friend of yours." He said as his friends laughed.

"You might wanna be careful Malfoy, Because i seem to have a bottle of luck. And it would be just my luck that you all pitch yourself off the astronomy tower." Y/N replied smoothly.

"Whatever." Malfoy said as he walked away.

"That was amazing!" I told her.

"I guess it was." She laughed.

We then ran to the great hall.

A/N.

I have nothing really to say besides Happy reading!-M
