Harry's POV

The potions classroom reeked of rotten eggs. I looked around to see Malfoy smirking at me. I felt my face redden in anger.

"Malfoy, you did this!" I accused angrily.

Snape conveniently inervened, saying "I believe that was your own incompetence, potter." he sneered, looking at my ruined potion.

Snape waved his wand, making it disappear. "No marks, potter."

"but-" i said, but was interrupted by snape, "since you're so convinced that draco did this, why doesn't he tutor you for a month.

The next potions assignment needs partners, and I'm sure that Malfoy could help you." Malfoy's head snapped around, and he protested "but professor-" he was cut off by professor snape, "you two need to learn to get along."

My eyes widened. "Was Snape actually being... fair?" but then reality struck me. Malfoy and I would have to spend time together.

Snape looked angry and tired of the feud between me and Malfoy, so I managed to hold my tongue.

"Speaking of that assignment," Snape said, and then walked up to the front of the class.

Ron spoke furiously beside me "I can't believe he did that to you!"

"I know," I murmured back, before gesturing at him to look at snape.

"In the next month we will be brewing a very special potion.

Can anyone tell me what's in this vial?" He raised a vial with beautiful swirling liquid in it that seemed to constantly shift colors. Hermione was the only one who raised her hand. Snape's dark eyes swept the room twice before he called on hermione

"Relamio potion, commonly known as the finding potion, and is able to find your soulmate." she blurted out.

"Correct, five points to griffindor" Snape said.

He must really be in a good mood, because he never usually gave out points to Griffindor if he could help it.

I have to brew a soulmate finding potion with Malfoy!? My face must have shown its disgust, because Ron patted my arm sympathetically. Snape continued what he was saying "you will have some class time to finish this, but the rest of the time you will need to work on your own time, you may choose your partners, except for draco and potter"

This kept getting worse and worse. I ran my hand through my hair, wining to Ron, "how am I going to survive this?" "I dunno, mate,"

Draco's POV

I saw Harry drag his hand through his adorably messed up hair, looking so annoyed. His beautiful eyes always seemed to capture me, drawing me into their depth.

No! Draco, stop it. I felt flustered and annoyed with myself. I couldn't like Harry Potter, and I wasn't, and I most certainly hadn't been obsessed with him, since he refused me on the train to hogwarts. Nope.

I had always been mean to him in hopes that I could convince myself that I hated him, because that was better than knowing i could never be with him, and, even though i didn't want it to, the other reason surfaced in my mind.

I had always been mean to him so he would pay attention to me. So he would turn his beautiful green eyes to me, even if there was a spark of fiery hatred in them every time he looked at me, it was better than never being noticed at all.

Class ended and I realized I had been staring at potter too long. Luckily it was only pansy who noticed, and looked at me with a teasing gaze before waltzing out of the classroom like a queen.

Potter walked over to me and paused, not knowing what to do.

Harry's POV

I walked over to Malfoy, pausing before saying anything. His eyes were like deep gray pools, so many mysteries lurking in their depths. "What do you want, potter?" he snapped, annoyed. "Our progect" i said, annoyed.

"Right." Malfoy looked so annoyed, it made me annoyed. "We should get started." I said.

"But-" i innturrupted malfoy saying, "listen, neither of us want to be here, but because you ruined my potion, so here we both are, so let's get it done quickly and be over with it!" I growled at him.

"Fine" he said,

"Fine." I agreed

Y'all, voting would really help me, but if you don't want to, then that's totally fine! Have an awesome day!
