Forbidden Lover

Chapter Fity One

Artemis’s P.O.V
It was the first day of classes and both Draco and I had gotten ready for the day and once we were finished, the both of us had left our dorm and left the Common Room as we made our way to the Great Hall for Breakfast and again, Neither of us ate much before we left for class and eventually made it to Potions with Professor Slughorn and once everyone got there, he soon began to class before both Ron and Harry came into the room, “ah, Harry my boy, I’ve been beginning to worry. You’ve brought someone with us I see.” Professor Slughorn said to him, “Ron Weasley sir. But I’m dead awful at Potions. A menace actually, so, I’ll probably just go.” Ron said and as he tried to leave, Harry stopped him, “nonsense, we’ll sort you out. Any friend of Harry’s is a friend of mine. Get your books out.” Professor Slughorn said to them, “uh, sorry sir, but I haven’t actually got my book yet and nor does Ron.” Harry told him, “not to worry. You ought to get one from the cupboard. Now as I was saying, I’ve prepared some concoctions this morning. Any Idea as to what these might be?” Professor Slughorn said before Hermione raised her hand, “yes Miss-” he said to her, “Granger sir. That one there is Veritaserum. It’s a truth telling serum. And that one there is Polyjuice Potion, you are able to transform into anyone by putting a strand of their hair in but it’s terribly tricky to make. And this is Amortentia, the most powerful Love Potion in the world. It’s rumored to smell differently to each person according to what attracts them, for example I smell freshly mown grass, parchment and spearmint toothpaste.” Hermione said to Professor Slughorn before going back to where she was standing, “now Amortentia doesn’t create actual love. That would be impossible. But it does cause powerful infatuation or obsession. And for that reason it is probably the most dangerous Potion in this room.” Professor Slughorn said before putting the lid on it as it stopped the girls who were walking toward it snap out of it and came back to their spots before Katie spoke up, “sir, you haven’t told us what’s in that one” she said to him as she pointed to a small vile, “ah yes, what you see before you ladies and gentleman, is a curious little potion known as Felix Felicis. As it is more commonly referred to as-” He began to say before Hermione cut him off, “Liquid Luck.” she said, “yes Miss. Granger, Liquid Luck. desperately tricky to make, disastrous should you get it wrong. One sip and you’ll find that all of your endeavors succeed. At least until the effects wear off. So, this is what I offer each of you today, one tiny vile of Liquid Luck to the student within the hour that remains manages to brew an acceptable Draft of Living Death. The recipes to which can be found on page 10 of your books. I should point out however, only one student managed to brew a potion of sufficient quality to claim this prize. Nevertheless, good luck to you all. Let the brewing commence.” Professor Slughorn said to everyone before we all went to our spots and began to work on the potion that he told us to make.

After a while, Professor Slughorn had called everyone over to where we were before we started as Harry stood next to Professor Slughorn, “so here we are then, as promised, one vile Felix Felicis, Congratulations. Use it well.” he said as he gave it to Harry and everyone else clapped except for Draco, Myself and the rest of the Slytherins, “bloody show off.” I whispered to them and we eventually left the class and had went on with our days and once classes were over for the day, both Draco and I had gone straight to our Dorm for a while and I decided to write to Fred to see how he was doing and telling him how things are going here except for Voldemort having Draco and I become Death Eaters and telling him that I miss him and when I was finished, I folded it up and sent it with my Owl before letting out a sigh as I just sat there before hearing Draco speak up, “we should probably get started on that Cabinet.” he said and I nodded before getting up and the both of us left, “the Cabinet should be in the Room of Requirement.” he mentioned, “alright. Let’s make this quick and get it over with.” I said to him and made our way inside after the door appeared and looked around to see where it was until we both stopped walking and turned around to see something large that was being covered and Draco soon pulled it off to reveal the Cabinet and we began to do what we were supposed to. By the time we decided we were done for the day, the both of us just sat there, “I wish we could just run away or something.” I said to him as I held my knees to my chest, “I don’t blame us, but you know what would happen if we did something like that. He threatened both of us, remember.” he said and I nodded, “I know.” and I rested my head on his shoulder. After a while of talking, the both of us had left the Room of Requirement and made it back to the Common Room and once we got there, we went straight to our dorm for the rest of the night and only came out for dinner, “what do you think will happen when Dumbledore eventually does die?” I asked Draco as we sat on our beds after dinner was over, “who knows but my guess is that Voldemort gets what he wants in the end and will try and get to you to use you.” he said and I began to worry a little before hearing him speak up again, “that is why I wanted you to promise me to do whatever I say when this is over and go to the Weasleys in the end. I’ve been planning on writing to them ahead of time since neither of us will most likely not be coming back next year and I know Fred will protect you as well.” he said and I shook my head a little thinking about it, “do you think he will get to be able to kill Harry or will it be just like before when it didn’t go as planned when he was a baby?” I asked him, “I guess we will have to see what happens when the time comes.” he said and I nodded a little before I began to think about Fred before feeling a tear slip down my cheek, “you miss him don’t you.” he said and I nodded, “yeah. I wish I could tell him how I feel about everything, but I know I can’t because it will break him if I do like it is with me.” I said and I began to cry a little harder before feeling Draco sit down next to me and hug me, “I understand what you’re saying Arty. but for now I would suggest you keep this to yourself alright.” he said and all I did was nod in response as the both of us just stayed there for a while and decided to switch the topic and talk about something else for a while before going to bed for the night.
