Malfoy Neighbors

What did we find?-Year 6 Chapter 21

The next day, during potions, you joined Draco and the fellow Slytherins that usely surrounded him. You had just joined them when Slughorn started talking.

"Settle down, Settle down, please! Quickly, now, lots of work to get through this afternoon! Golpalott's Third Law... who can tell me-? But Miss Granger can, of course!" You looked at Draco with the same look he gave you. The look that said 'teacher's pet'

"Golpalott's Third Law states that the antidote for a blended poison will be equal to more than thw sum of the antidotes for each of the separate components." Granger resisted.

"Percisely!" Slughorn said with pride. "Ten points to Gryffindor! Now, if we accept Golpalott's Third Law as true..." Draco started flipping through his text book, which distracted you.

"Draco?" You whispered softly. "What are you looking for?"

"What he's talking about." He whispered back. You pulled his book towards you and flipped it open to the chapter on antidotes.

"Here." You whispered, pushing the book back.

"I want each of you to come and take one of these phrases from my desk. You are to create an antidote for the poison within it before the end of the lesson. Good luck, and don't forget your proactive gloves!" Slughorn said. Just as he finished speaking, Granger jumped up and was already headed back to her seat before the rest of the class moved.

By the end of class, Draco had some how manged to make his antidote explode. He was covered in what looked like someone puked all over him. Yours was a strange green color and didn't look much better then what was all over Draco.

"Time's ... UP!" Slughorn called out to the class. "Well, let's see how you've done! Blaise... what have you got for me?" He asked as he approached your table. Slughorn looked into his couldren then moved along. It seemed that No one in class was able to finish the assignment. Finally he reached Potter. While he moved around the class you pulled your wand out.

"Scourgify." You whispered, pointing your wand at Draco's robe. The mess vanished before your eyes.

"Thanks" Draco said releaved.

"And you, Harry, what have you got to show me?" Slughorn said beaming. Potter held his hand out. Slughorn looked at Potter's hand for about 10 seconds, leaving the rest of the class puzzled. After a while Slughorn started laughing.

"You've got nerve, boy!" Slughorn picked up the thing Potter had in his hand and held it up. "Oh, you're like your mother... Well, I can't fault you... A Bezoar would certainly act as an antidote to all these potions!" Slughorn lowered his arm. "That's the individual spirit a real potion-maker needs!"

"He's a teacher's pet too." Draco said annoyed. 

"That's how he probably felt with you and Snape." You whispered back. Draco shot you a dirty look.

"Yes, Harry, yes, if you've got a bezoar to hand, of course that would do the trick... although as they don't work on everything, and are pretty rare, it's still worth knowing how to mix antidotes..." Slughorn went on. Draco went to say something when the bell rang. "Time to pack up!" Slughorn announced and headed back to his desk. "And an extra ten points to Gryffindor for sheer cheek!" After class, you caught up with Draco, who was now walking with Crabb and Gyole.

"How come she gets to know what you're doing?" Crabb jealously asked Draco.

"Because, Crabb, (y/n) is different." Draco replied annoyed. "Now take the polyjucie potion and do your jobs." You slipped your hand into his and walked into the Room of Requirement together.

"I was up late last night reading that book you got in Diagon Alley." Draco said as the two of you made your way to the cabinet. "And I thought we could try a few of the spells in the book. I found a some that might do the trick."

"Did you bring the book?" You asked curiously. Draco shook his head.

"I hid it hear early this morning." Draco smiled. He let go of your hand and pulled the book out from behind the cabinet. You watched him as he flipped the book open and pulled out his wand. He pointed it as the cabinet and proceeded to cast spell after spell. Nothing seem to work. You got board and wondered off again.

After wonderingaround for some time, you saw something covered with a cloth. You slowly approached it, not sure why. You pulled the cloth off to see a mirror standing in front you you. It was fairly tall with a golden frame but what was strange, and perhaps why I was covered, was that the reflection wasn't what you expected to see. Instead of seeing yourself staring back at you, you saw an older version of yourself and Draco standing there with a little girl, and little boy and a small baby. Confused, you called out.

"Hey! Draco!" You called from the back of the room. "Come see what I found."

"What is it?" Draco yelled back.

"I don't know?" You replied, still with confusion. Draco didn't yell back this time but within a few seconds he found you.

"What is it?" Draco asked again, walking up to you.

"Tell me what you see." You said, pointing at the mirror. Draco stepped in front of it.

"I ah..." He looked back at you. "I see me and you." He said a bit pink.

"What else do you see?" You asked expecting him to say that he saw the kids.

"You're... in a... white... dress." He said very slowly, turning redder and redder. "What is this?"

"That's not what I see." You said, more confused then before.

"Wait," Draco said all of a sudden, "I think we read about this in one of those books you got from the library."

"Hey, yeah! I think you're right." You said excitedly. I'll go see what I can find about this thing, you keep up with the cabinet." You kissed Draco on the cheek and out of the room.

"Where are you going in such a rush." Crabb, disguised as a 1st year Hufflepuff, asked as you rsn past. You stopped running and turned back.

"Tell him I will meet him later." You said. Crabb looked at you confused. You rolled your eyes and walked up to him. "Tell Draco, when he comes out, that I will meet up with him later."

"Why?" He asked.

"This is why he doesn't tell you anything." You mumbled under your breath. "Never mind. Draco will come find me when he's done." You said and walked away.
