Disclaimer: For the sake of this story we’re going to pretend that Snape did not die at the end of the Harry Potter series and that he is still teaching potions. I know that in canon he is dead and Professor Slughorn is teaching potions but this is not a canon story. Thank you!

Over the next few weeks Harry didn’t speak to Malfoy or even look at him. It was as if Malfoy didn’t exist. But Harry’s attempts to ignore Malfoy ended one afternoon in the cold and dreary dungeon of Professor Snape's classroom.

As Harry entered the room Malfoy got up from his seat and tried to make his way over to Harry. But Harry dodged around desks, going as quickly as possible and sat down across the dungeon from Malfoy.

Malfoy attempted to come over to Harry but Snape said in his greasy voice, “Sit down, Malfoy,” and he went back to his seat.

Snape glared around the room and everyone stared back, not daring to speak.

“You are going to be working with partners. This project will be done outside of class and is due in two weeks,” Snape finally said. “I will be picking your partners,” he added as Harry turned towards Ron. Harry looked up and glared at Snape knowing what he was going to do.

Snape walked around the dungeon calling out everyone's names. “Finnagen, Thomas, you may work together,” and they both stood up, “Granger, you will partner with Miss Parkinson.”

Harry sat in silence knowing what was coming next. Snape stopped right behind Malfoy and smirked at Harry from across the dungeon. “Potter, you will partner with Mr. Malfoy.”

Malfoy looked up at Harry who stared right past him at Snape. Malfoy looked relieved with this decision because he would finally be able to talk to Harry. But Harry had no intention of speaking to Malfoy. He was determined to ignore Malfoy just as he had been doing the last few weeks.

Snape watched Harry for a few seconds before moving away from Malfoy’s desk and calling out the rest of the partners. Once he had finished Snape went back to the front of the room and explained the directions.

Harry didn’t listen to anything Snape said however. He glared at him, loathing every inch of him, from the top of his greasy head to his toes.

After class Malfoy caught up with Harry but he just sped up to walk with Ron and Hermione. Malfoy stopped in his tracks and looked sadly after Harry as he walked away.
