potions

TW- gruesome talk, talk about k1lling and d34th.

-Normal POV-

I sit down in potions class awaiting for the class to begin.

"now, settle children, settle, take all your seats" the Professor shushes waiting for silence, the class quiets down and listens to them

"now, you're going to be set partners for this, I have put a book infront of you all, the potion book, it won't take long to brew, once you have it in the glass, one of you will drink it and the other will ask questions and write down what the answer is" he explain to us all, his Conviviality over the top a little, Hermione raises her hand and the Professor notices, pointing to her. making her now the Cynosure.

"what is the potion? exactly" she question him, he smiles and looks at us all backing up towards the front of the classroom

"all turn to page 7424 please to see what we will be doing" he instructs us, I open the overly massive book and find the page with the top labeled with big bold writing, reading.

Truth potion

some people look at their friends an smile, others not so much, some people giggle and whisper to the people next to them, me being quiet knowing I have nothing to hide

"yes, the truth potion, you're very lucky to learn this, now, partners" he says, folding out a piece of paper, reading out names 2 by 2, I didn't really listen until it got to my friends

"Millie and Noah, Finn and Harry, Hermione and Luna, Ron and Allegra, Y/n and...Louis, Draco and Pansy, that's it" he calls out, I look down at my desk, knowing Louis, who is sitting infront of me 2 chairs down is probably looking at me

"go on, off you go" he smiles, everyone going to their partners, laughing and going to cauldrons, me not getting up, doodle in my black notebook, I see a tall figure stand infront of me, leaning their hands on my desk, I sigh and look up.

"you wanna go make that potion, I already have a couple questions I wanna ask" Louis beams with a smirk nodding his head towards the cauldron next to me, I get up and shift the book with me, reading out the items used for it, waiting for Louis to walk around the table and chairs

"can you get the Jobberknoll feathers and-" I tell him

"-yes, yes I know, I read it, and he has them all on a tray you 'know" he rolls his eyes smirking, getting the stuff for it, I start reading the instructions on how to brew and make it properly. he comes back holding the stuff, he puts it all down and reads it, grabbing the first ingredient and carefully pouring it in the cauldron, sticking out his tongue in concentration, I stare at him while he reads the instructions, I take the Jobberknoll feathers and plop them in one by one taking glances at him, his hair was messy, his cheeks kinda red, so is his eyes, and he looked tired but energetic at the same time, I pass him the big mixer and hand it to him, letting him stir it, he sends a quick smile my way before taking it and leaning towards the top of the cauldron, stirring it firmly but soft like the book says. he sticks out his tongue again staring into the potion, he looks exactly like plain water, just a tint of green.

"I think we're done" Louis says quietly, taking the mixer out and setting it down, he pours the potion into 2 bottles and sits down, he points to the seat away from all the mess, I sit down infront of him and look at him face again, noticing the way he looks kinda happy but sad in one.

"you wanna go first?" he asks, I nods my head and smile awkwardly.

-Louis' POV-

she takes a decent amount of the potion, putting the bottle down, she looks at me and waits for me to ask a question, I look into her eyes, the eyes I've looks into many times before but just now looking at them properly, I do love her, she hates me, god what have I done, I used to be so happy looking into those beautiful eyes, now not so much knowing what I've caused her. I snap out of it and get my notebook ready to write down her answer, I couldn't think of any questions, I know I said I hade some but I don't.

"Do you really hate me?" I blurt out as my first question, she stares blankly at her

"no, I just hate what you've done to me" she answers, I jot down the question and the answer

-Normal POV-

jeez this potion is messed up, I wanted to say yes but then it came out saying that, it forces out the truth, even if you don't want it to.

"I KNEW IT!" I hear Allegra yell out, I turn my head to see her and Ron now laughing, god, I wish I had siblings sometimes.

"who is the cutest guy in the school?" he asks looking down at his notepad, I sigh and go to say Finn, I do NOT like him, but this wack ass potion-

"you, you, you, you" I say, fuck, he's being mean now, he smiles at me and laughs a little making me flustered, I'm dreading this

"do you want me to kiss you right now?" he smirks a little, looking through my soul, don't look into his eyes, don't look into his eyes, don't look into his eyes, don't look into his eyes. fuck, I looked into his eyes.

I slowly nod my head, whispering yes, he smiles slightly and writes it down, I shift in my seat, leaning closer to him, he looks up from the book and kisses my head softly, I move my chair closer to him as he holds my hand, this is actually nice though

"what's your deepest secret?" he asks, leaning closer slowly

"I'm scared, I'm scared that if I open up to people, they'll just leave, I'm scared that when people leave I'll have no one, I'm scared of what people think so I block out all my flaws and make it seem like I'm perfect, my parents- their not good people Louis, they do bad things to me as well. I'm scared of clowns because I had a birthday party when I was 6, my parents got a clown and it was the last to leave, I got a knife and started to chase me with it saying to come to him and it was sk1n me alive. I'm scared of a lot of things Lou, I'm scared of being left alone, I'm scared of bloody death-eaters, I'm scared of he who shall not be named Louis" I confess with a big sigh.

he looks down writing it all in his notepad and whispers to himself under his breath, he looks back up and smiles sadly. he gives me the notepad and sits there sternly

"ok then, drink up" I smile at him, moving my legs back and forth in a childish way, he looks at me and takes a big gulp of the potion

"ok...who's the prettiest girl in the school?" I ask him, the same question he asked first

"you, do I even have to say it" he grins, I write it down with a smile

"do you really love me?" I ask next chewing on my pen

"more than anything in the world" he replies looking into my eyes, I pinch his cheek and his face turns a bright red

"who is he that your boggart talked about, what do you need to tell me?" I ask smirking

-Louis' POV-

"who is he that your boggart talked about, what do you need to tell me?" she asks me while smirking

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NOOOO!

"my father, I need to tell you about my father" I come out with, few, that was close

"what about him?" she asks intrigued

"who he is, who I am" I breathe out glad I didn't spill anything out

"he's bad, you're not gonna like it, you'll hate me forever, you'll be scared" I continue without control of myself.

"I'm scared that if I tell you, I'll lose you, I know I already have but you won't talk to me anymore, you'll despise and be scared to death" I finish, ok, I didn't spill who he was it's fine

"ok...well that's it" Y/n sighs and gives me the notepad back to me, she pushes in her chair and walks to Finn, he sees her coming and he smiles, picking her up and spinning her around laughing

"I say that I'm happy, but no, no, no, no...no, no, no I still wanna be your favorite boy I wanna be the one that makes your day, The one you think about as you lie awake, And I can't wait to be your number, your number one I'll be your biggest fan and you'll be mine But I still wanna break your heart and make you cry, I still wanna be your favourite boy" I whisper to myself, letting a tear drop onto my cheek.

a/n- ok, ok, not so bad, kinda like it, anyway, love you all, I just realised I might not be THAT active as I will be filming a movie my friend is making. LOVE YOU ALL- yeah, um Covid sucks, can't film now *cries*
