A few days later I walk in to the common room and find a frazzled Hermione.
"What happened?" I ask her
"First potions class. Since when has Harry been good at potions?" Hermione questions
I snort and laugh.
"My brother? Harry Potter?" I ask laughing
"He made a perfect Draught of Living Dead without blinking." she explains
"Wait seriously? I mean that doesn't make sense." I ponder
"Right?" she asks bothered
"Besides you I've always excelled in potions." Hermione continues
"I wouldn't stress it so much, it's Harry." I respond
"Yes, maybe you're right. Thanks Holly." Hermione says and I nod
"Harry!" I call finally finding him
"Hey Holly!" He says smiling
"So, when were you going to tell me that you are a potions master?" I ask
"Oh that, it was nothing." Harry shrugs
"Harry James Potter!" I yell smiling
"Okay, it was the book. My book has handwritten cheats." Harry admits
"Really? Can I see?" I ask curious
"Sure." He says and shows me the book
"Half-Blood Prince?" I whisper
"No idea." Harry responds
I carefully read through the book and study the handwriting. I know this style of writing and I know these cheats. It all makes sense now.
"Strange, I wonder who came up with these." I lie and give Harry the book back
"Don't worry sis, you're still better at potions." Harry laughs
I playfully shove him.
"I wasn't that worried, I know you." I laugh
"Look Dumbledore wants me to get to know Slughorn, so being good at potions is helping." Harry admits
"Well, if you need help let me know, I'm not taking that many potion classes this year." I offer
"Thanks Holly, see you at dinner?" He asks and I nod
He sprints to the quidditch field.
I turn and go back to the common room.
"Going to Hogsmeade today?" I'm asked
I turn and see Draco hiding in the shadows.
"I wasn't planning on it. Why?" I ask him
"Meet me by the shrieking shack if you do." Draco says
"Don't count on it." I respond and walk away.
Curiosity got the better of me and I went with Harry, Ron and Hermione to Hogsmeade. I was able to sneak away and make my way to the shrieking shack. I walk around quietly, nervous about how this was going to end.
"You came." A voice whispers
"I wasn't going to" I whisper back not looking behind me
"I'm glad you did. I'm sorry. I miss our conversations." Draco confesses and I turn around
"So, do I, but I don't know how to feel." I admit
"Me either. I really like you Holly. It's just my family is so important and they expect so much from me now that Father is away" Draco says sadly
