Death Eaters Daughter Part Two

Two Hundred Four

My next class was Potions
Again a class I normally would have sat with Draco but when I entered the room his spot was taken by Crabbe, I'm just glad Pansy didn't take this class as well

I sat with Hermione again, seems like she'll be my seating partner this year
It's not a bad thing it's just...different
Draco and I paired well together
I sighed softly and took out my potion's book

I looked around for Harry and Ron, but didn't see either
"I thought they were going to take this class?"

"Probably running late...again" Hermione said annoyed "I don't know what is keeping them from getting to class on time"

I shrugged my shoulders

"Hello class!" Slughorn said walking in
He smiled at me and Hermione, we smiled back
He seems like a nice teacher, easy going mostly
"What bright faces we have here, I even have some of my slugclub here! Of course I do I should say, I only pick the brightest and best for my clubs"

I heard someone scoffing and when I looked for the noise I saw it was Draco
Did he want to be a part of his club?

"If you could all gather up here in the front of the classroom I would like to show you what we are working on" Slughorn said

I grabbed my book and walked towards the front
I felt someone shove me, when I looked it was Blaise
His face was tighten, I could see his jaw muscle tense

I shoved him back
I wasn't going to let him intimate me this year, never again

"Whore" he said getting closer to me

"I see your face has cleared up, wouldn't it be a shame to have to relive that again?" I said balancing my wand in my fingers "don't you have any better comebacks other than calling me a whore?"
He knocked my wand out of my hands

Most of the class was at the front already, it was just Blaise Hermione and I behind
Hermione took my arm and tried leading me to the front of the room but I shoved her off

Blaise was about to jinx me, I could feel his wand move in the air and see his lips about to move but as he was about to hurt me he went flying into the back wall himself
Did I do that?
No I didn't say a nonverbal

I looked around the room and everyone was staring at us
"Everything all right?" Slughorn asked awkwardly

"Yes sorry" I said joining Hermione in the group
I looked at everyone's hand for a wand, most of our class failed at nonverbals so I didn't think any of them used that tactic
But before I could figure it out the door swung open

"Sorry we're late Professor" Harry said
Both of them looked at Blaise who was shaking his head awake again

"Harry my boy it's alright, you brought a friend how wonderful" Slughorn said
I could tell he was uncomfortable with the tension in the room from Blaise and I
He was just now getting off the ground, he dusted off his outfit and fixed his tie
I felt his emotions pour into me, so much hatred
I truly enjoy it though, let him hate me
Every time he comes after me I'll be there ready to do much worse

"We don't have books for this class yet" Harry confessed
I saw Hermione roll her eyes

"Not a problem, you may borrow some from that cabinet...uh Blaise if you would move and come to the front" Slughorn said
The same cabinet someone sent him flying into

Blaise walked to the front of the class and stood beside Draco
I saw them speaking, Draco's emotions were just as bitter as Blaise's
I could tell from here their conversation wasn't a pleasant one
Did he jinx Blaise

I heard scuffling and saw Harry and Ron fighting over two books
They walked over to Hermione and I, I saw the book Harry had was used and torn up
"Want to trade? I don't mind using a book like that, it's better really. The spine is broken in" I suggested

"No it's ok" Harry said "I'll just order a new one later. Dumbledore asked me to meet him Saturday, I don't have to go to Snape's detention"

"That's good, is there a way we can switch times for tryouts? I'm sure Hufflepuff would"

"I'll ask" Harry said

"What does Dumbledore need?" Hermione asked

Harry shrugged his shoulders
"Not sure, guess I'll find out then"

"Today we will be learning how to make liquid death, a potion that will kill you when made correctly" he said showing his cauldron
Slughorn dropped a small leaf into his black potion, we watched it shrivel up and disappear
"This potion is extremely hard, why am I making you all start on this?" He pulled out a small vial from his cloak "you will be competing for this vial, Felix Felicis, does anyone know what this is?"

I rose my hand, so did Hermione

"Miss.Lupin" he called on me

"Liquid luck, it gives you extraordinary luck for 24 hours"

"Correct, 20 points to Gryffindor" he said winking

I noticed that when I mentioned luck Draco perked up
Does he need Felix Felicis? If I win I'm going to give it to him, maybe we can go back to normal if I do

"Whoever makes the best liquid death will win the luck potion, no partners on your own you will complete this project. If you turn to page 28 you will see the instructions on how to complete the potion. Best of luck" he said smirking at the class

I walked back to my table, Hermione was already starting on hers
She doesn't want the vial, I'm sure she just wants to be the first to complete a difficult project

I opened my book and read the instructions quickly
"This is impossible" I said confused "these instructions are contradicting"

I looked at Hermione
She threw an ingredient into her cauldron and it started to bubble up

"Uh Hermione..." I said backing up slightly
She looked from her book to her potion
It exploded
I jumped back, holding my chest
Hermione's hair was all frizzed up and her face was covered in goop

"Uh, you have something on your face" Ron said turning around
He was trying not to laugh I could tell

"Shut up" she said
