Y/n's POV

Soon the divination class was over and we went to our Herbology. Herbology went by pretty quickly considering the fact that it was actually pretty boring today.

We were heading to the great hall to get lunch. Walking through the corridors towards the entrance. My hand was still in Theo's, like it had been when we walked into the Herbology classroom. Although it made me feel a little weird, I believed it could be the most important part of the plan.

We walked into the great hall behind others and were instantly greeted my a bunch of looks our way. To be completely honest I had thought that the looks were on me mostly because of Draco, but I guess I was wrong.

We sat down at the table, pretty much in the middle. The great hall was already practically packed with people once we made it there so.

Theo's hand moved from my hand to my back as soon as we sat down. Almost like it was the most natural place to hold it. He held it like that the whole lunch. Was it not getting tired?

Lunch was stretched long due to a little tiny problem that we all had. We talked too much. We didn't even notice how the hall was emptying around us, until one of the late leavers asked us if we were skipping too.

We looked at him and each other confused. But soon realised that this is definitely how that looked like. We were pretty much all alone in the great hall with everyone else in classes already.

But to be fair, I wasn't looking forwards to potions class anyway, so it wasn't that big of a loss. But weird thing is that Snape hadn't tried to get in contact with me for these past days. Not that I would want to, just weird because he always used to.

We quickly made our way to the dungeons and walked towards the classroom door. Blaise took a second to listen behind the door to hear Snape inside, but before I could've even gotten close enough to hear anything he opened the door the the classroom.

Of course Theo and I's joined hands were exposed to the whole class, but that was part of the plan. The more attention it got the better. Or at least that's what I think makes it most believable.

Snape's look with everyone else's turned our way as soon as the door was opened. Blaise quickly apologised for being late to class.

We all thought that it would end there and walked up to the table to take a seat until Snape walked closer to our table. Specifically where me and Theo we're sitting.

"Ten point's from each of you, " he said with a monotone voice looking down at us from between me and Ly.

Well I guess it was about time, he would take some points away. But there were six of us, so that was sixty points! It's not very little. But he had been weirdly nice about points and it was getting suspicious anyway.

"Y/n, stay behind after class, " he added right before going back to his place in front of the class not letting me even think of an excuse not to go.

Did I have to? Was it something important or was it like all of these other times that he had done it. I wasn't gonna go.

We continued the class and started brewing a bit more of a complicated potion. Theo was kind enough to give me a hand with the cauldron and ingredients, when others were weighing them or just chilling and pretending to do their part.

It was weird to see Theo and Pansy in class with us. Especially Pansy. I hadn't sat close to her in class except in transfiguration where she sits behind me. But other than that I have no idea of her working ethic.

Like all the others, she was also very skeptical about me not even following the book to brew a potion. Theo was a bit too but he seemed to be a little more used to it.
