Life is a riddle

Potions of hell.

I glared at the gryffindors. They glared straight back. "Oi Harry it's the hot new girl." I heard Ron whisper to the black haired boy. I took a step forward ready to slap him again. But I stopped feeling someone grab my shoulder. I looked back at Ia. "Leave him, let Draco do it." She said as Draco walked passed me punching the red head in the stomach. I looked up at the sound of the door opening. "Mr malfoy, mr Weasly. Fighting are we. Malfoy explain." Snape ordered in his usual drawling tone. "Weasly insulted Delilah. So I stood up for her." Draco said.
"Wow apparently calling you hot is an insult. Ay Delilah." Ia whispered half laughing in my ear. I rolled my eyes at her. "Weasly detention and twenty points from Gryffindor. Malfoy ten points from Slytherin. Now all of you I have assigned seats for you." Everybody groaned in annoyance. "Silence. Now the back desk ansep and malfoy. Middle back granger and Weasly. Last back seat. Ledrid and potter." He continued. I screamed in my head angrily walking to my desk. I sat army desk and pulled out my wand, burning a line down the middle of the desk.

Harry sat beside me and looked at the burnt mark confused. "Why don't you see what happens when you cross the line. Potter." I spat. Harry gave me an unimpressed look and put his whole hand over the line. I smirked zapping his hand with my wand. He yelped pulling back his hand. "Potter! Quiet! Ten points from gryffindor" Snape yelled before turning back to the board. I looked over at Draco and Ia who were in silent fits of laughter. I ignored Harry's glare. Snape started talking again. "Now the person beside you will be your partner in all our projects. I will not be changing your seats under any circumstances. Now your first project is on page 364. Begin."

I turned to the page we had been told to read for our project. 'Love potion ay. Well won't this be fun.' I said grumpily in my head. I clicked my fingers to get Harry's attention. "Go get the ingredients or I'll zap you again." I ordered playing with my wand in my fingers. He glared. "Sorry princess but no." He spat. I glared and had an idea. I pulled out a random piece of parchment and wrote on it.
*hey Draco and Ia
DONT REACTE! I repeat when I squeal don't react to my excuse. I'll tell you why later.*
I performed a charm turning the paper into a bird and making it fly to my friends while Snape wasn't looking. I then performed the zapping charm on my own hand causing me to squeal. "Ms Ledrid. What is the meaning of this noise?" Snape asked angrily standing in front of us. I started pretending to cry. "Har.....Harry z-zapped me be....because I I wouldn't get the ingredients for the potion." I blubbered fake tears running down my face.
"WHAT! You zapped yourself you bitch." Harry yelled.
"Your lying. You zapped me." I blubbered trying not to slap him. But I wish I had of slapped him because he hit me over the back of the head with his hand. "Mr potter. I will not allow such language and nonsense in my class. Another thirty points from Gryffindor. Now apoligise." Snape shouted.
"I won't apologise to her" Harry said stubbornly.
"Another ten points and detention mr potter. Now all of you back to work. Oh and potter you get the ingredients for your partner." Snape said walking back to the front. I smiled smugly and stuck my tongue out at him as he walked to get the ingredients.

I quickly pulled out a vial of powdered erumpent horn. Incredibly explosive, but the powdered version would only cause the cauldron to explode. I lightly put a small amount in the cauldron. Harry came back and put the ingredients on the desk. I quickly put my hand up. "What is it now miss Ledrid ?" Snape asked sounding annoyed.
"Please sir may I go to the hospital wing. My hand is making it hard to even write." I whimpered pretending to sooth my burnt hand. "Ansep take Ledrid to the hospital wing." Snape ordered. Me and Ia quickly exited.

"Alright what did you do Delilah?" Ia asked stopping me. I smirked and pulled the vial out of my pocket to show her. She gasped. "That's right powdered erumpent horn" I said putting the vial back in my pocket. I looked back at is who's smirk had widened. I was about to ask why........when suddenly someone yelled boo from behind me making me jump and squeal. I looked behind me seeing Draco laughing his head off, Ia doing the same right behind me. Our laughter was interrupted by the sudden sound of squealing coming from the classroom we had just been in. "Well done didi. Explosions?" Draco said sarcastically. I shrugged.
"Potter was asking for it." I said walking with him and Ia to our first break.
