A Special Potion

Potions Punishment

I'm sorry XD

Potions was as boring as ever. Snape rambling on, Malfoy throwing paper at my pack, Neville accidentally blowing up his cauldron, same thing every day. I absentmindedly throw in the ingredients, stirring the cauldron as the voices around me fade in and out as mumbled messes. "Ter...Potter..POTTER!" I snap back into reality and look to Professor Snape. "Ten points from Gryffindor. Potter you stay behind after class. You will test the potions made from today." Snape turned around and continued writing on the board as Malfoy and his posse snickered behind me. "I'm sorry Mate." I look to Ron beside me, my face twisted with anger. I hate staying after class, and to have my punishment be to drink the potions? Ridiculous.

Minutes pass as everyone finishes up their potions and bottling them. I look at our potion in worry as it is a different color from the rest. Everyone else's resembled a soft pastel pink, while ours was a pastel orange. "I'm sorry, I think I put in an extra ingredient or something." Ron starts to look through the ingredient list, worried he might end up poisoning his best friend. "It's fine, don't worry about-"

"Class dismissed. Potter, remember you are to stay." His voice rang out over the class as student collect their things and begin to chatter among their friends. Ron and Hemoine give me an "I'm sorry" look before heading out of the class room. "Gather the potions and set them on my desk." Snape orders me from behind his desk, glaring at me with full spite. I do as I'm told, looking among the many different viles of potions. "Be glad this is only a simple potion made to calm someone. Next time you may not be so lucky." His voice sent waves to my bones, I hated it. "I don't see how this punishment is allowed. What if someone me-"
"Messed up? Like you and Weasley did? That one shall be saved for last. Now sit and start drinking the potions."

I set the potions up, trying to stall, but of course he seen right through that and with a flick of his wand sorted them instantly. I sit and watch him as he writes quietly on parchment. 'His features were well defined, and he was handsome for his age.' Goodness what was I thinking? "Stop piercing the side of my skull with those eyes of yours. Draco's group first." He hands me a vile of the potion and I open it, drinking it fast as to get this over with. My body suddenly felt warm and my eyes closed on their own as the taste of butter beer appeared on my tongue. My body relaxed and I opened my eyes, I wasn't so anxious or angry anymore. "Seems it worked. Hermione's group." This went on, he handed me a vile and I drank the potion. Chocolate, waffles, Cake, all these wonderful flavors came from each potion, relaxing my body. I didn't mind this at all, this was my favorite punishment. "Alright Potter, let's see how badly you failed." He handed me my potion, a satisfying smirk dancing upon his lips.

I calmly drink the potion, but it had a completely different effect. My body grew hot as my face flushed and my breathing became heavy. This thankfully only lasted for a minute and the heat slowly escaped my body. "Potter. Out." Snape stared at his desk, not even looking at me. "What? Why-" "Out!"

I quickly stood and ran to grab my things and escape the class. I have no idea what that potion did to me, but I feel fine. I don't know what I did wrong, but I suddenly felt like a scolded child. My eyes seemed to have fallen in love with the ground as I make my way to Gryffindor tower. The more steps I took, the more I realized how tired I was. When I finally made it to my bed, I collapsed upon it. I feel as if I could finally sleep soundly. "How are you?" Ron's voice called from my right. "Just fine actually...now if you'll excuse me...I'm just gonna..." my speech was slowed as I slowly fell asleep, my body still slightly warm and my taste filled with all the delicious tastes of the potions.
