First class

AFTER A LONG EVENING the day had finally ended.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow, goodnight." I said to the trio as we parted ways to go to bed.

I tiptoed my way to the Slytherin common room making sure to be quite since it was just before curfew as most people were sleeping already.

I entered the common room for the first time this year well whispering the password instantly smelling the scent of the green fire across from me.

I looked over to the couch to see a certain blonde sitting there with his head in his hands once again today.

"Malfoy?" I asked as he looked up at me.

"What, Rowel?" He spat annoyed looking me up and down.

"Uh- are you alright..?" I asked looking at his tired pale face.

His face softened for a second like he's never heard those words in his life but instantly turned back to the scowl he always has on his face making me instantly forget my choice of words.

"What's it to you, blood traitor?" He spat standing up.

"It's nothing to me actually. I don't even know why I asked." I said glaring walking up to my room.

.

My alarm went off signalling it was time to wake up. I got out of my comfortable warm bed and headed straight for the bathroom to take a steamy shower and get ready for the day. After I looked presentable I gathered all my necessities for the day and made my way to the great hall for breakfast.

"Good morning." I said smiling to my friends well grabbing a plate putting all sorts of foods on it. I made my way over to the Slytherin table siting next to Blaise well elbowing him.

"I'm still mad for what you did on the train." I said glaring at him.

"Hey I'm sorry alright-" he said rubbing his shoulder.

"So how was your summer?" He asked chewing his eggs.

"What do you think..?" I asked with an obvious tone in my voice.

"Yeah I shouldn't have asked." He said patting my back as I nodded at him. I glanced up to see Malfoy taking a seat on the other side of me.

"What's up Draco?" Blaise asked.

"Oh fuck off Blaise." He growled as Blaise scoffed.

"What crawled up your ass and died Malfoy?" I asked giggling.

"You should really watch your tone with me, love." He said looking at me as my face went bright red from the nickname.

"Don't call me love-" I said annoyed hiding my flushed face.

"Love." He said once again challenging me.

"Fuck off." I mumbled standing up and leaving the great hall to go to the library before class begun.

Time must have ran away from me because by the time I looked at books and finally picked one I was five minutes late to my first class.

I shoved the book in my bag rushing towards the dungeons to get to potions as soon as possible.

I arrived at the door taking a deep breath and getting mentally prepared to get yelled at by Snape.

"Mrs. Rowel, late now are we?" Snape said with his dark voice as I entered the room gently closing the door behind me.

"My apologies Professor, it won't happen again." I said apologetic.

"Good, now..." he said looking around at the tables his eyes stopping at Malfoy's. "Take a Seat next to Mr. Malfoy will you now." He said turning around back to the chalk bored. Bloody hell.

I placed my bag on the table pulling out my potions book well seating myself next to Malfoy.

"So as I was saying, today we will be making a poly juice potion. Your instructions are in your books now get to work." Snape snapped taking a seat at his desk.

I walked up to the shelf grabbing all the needed ingredients looking up to the top shelf to see my last ingredient. Attempting to reach for it I failed miserably as a pale hand grabbed it.

"Malfoy give it to me." I growled annoyed already.

"Let me think.. no." He said smirking.

"C'mon Malfoy- please." I said trying to reach for it as he held it up in the air.

"Is there a problem Mr. Malfoy and Mrs. Rowel?" Snape asked.

"No uh everything's alright Professor." I said ripping the ingredient out of Malfoy's hand without him noticing and going back to my seat.

I started following each step that my book said placing each ingredient in and doing everything correctly. At least I thought.

My potion started turning a odd shade of purple and my eyebrows raised in confusion as I waved my wand over it.

"What.." I mumbled.

"Your doing it completely wrong." Malfoy scoffed standing beside me.

"Your not helping." I glared.

Next thing I knew it he was behind me. He grabbed my hand with my wand in it motioning my hand in a completely different movement that I was doing before as I felt his chest hit my back making me turn pink. The potion slowly started going to the correct colour as Malfoy let go of my hand moving back to his cauldron.

"Uh thanks.." I mumbled.

"Mhm." He said.

The morning eventually ended as everyone went to the great hall to clench their hunger. I walked down the hallway until I saw Malfoy look around suspiciously before turning a corner. What is he up too?

I followed after making sure to follow every turn he took until he disappeared in blinde sight. Well that's weird. I turned around only for my back to be slammed against the wall.

"Following me now aren't we, love." He said as our noses almost touched and each of his hands were on my shoulders holding me against the wall.

"I don't know what your talking about.." I scoffed looking to the side trying to push him off me.

"Oh, don't lie to me." He said putting his hand on my waist making me gasp.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Nothing." He said dryly before walking away.

What the fuck just happened.
