potions

chapter 13

Persephone sat with Remus the whole night and refused to leave the following morning , she had tried to ask him where his friends were but he just told her that he didn't know and attempted to move away from the topic.

"Weird , I swear you guys are attached at the hip" she said frowning

"Miss Greyback , I recommend that you head to the rest of your classes today" Madam Pomfrey spoke , startling the girl slightly

"Alright, I'll visit you later Remus" she said waving him off and walking to potions.

"Girl where have you been" Narcissa whisper- shouted to the girl as she sat down in potions
"You didn't come back to the dorm yesterday you can't scare me like that" the blonde finished hitting her arm

"Ow Cissa"

"Well , where were you" she questioned folding her arms.

"I went for a walk , like I said" the girl replied opening her potions book and reaching for her pencil - her skills with a quill were still a working progress.

"You . Persephone Imari Greyback . Someone who complains when they walk up stairs ,  yet plays quidditch , was walking around hogwarts for" she pauses to check the clock "around 12 hours yesterday" she concluded

"Yup , you know me. Getting that exercise in" the brunette sarcastically sighed causing the blonde to repeatedly hit her on the shoulder with her potions book.

"Is there a problem over there girls?" the potions professer spoke turning everyone's attention to the two.

"No sir , not at all" Narcissa defended

"Well to avoid there being one I will move you , I've been wanting to move these two aswell actually" he finished looking behind them at James and Sirius who were also whispering to one another.

"Miss Black you may sit with Mr Potter , Mr Black you go over and sit with Mr Snape and Mr Rosier you can sit next to Miss Greyback . Make sure she gets things done" he said patting Evan on the shoulder as he made his way over to Persephone's desk.

"Great" Persephone rolled her eyes at the boy

"I'm not that bad Seph" the boy said placing a hand on her shoulder.

The girl shrugged allowing his hand to fall before saying " I don't want to spend anymore time with you than I have to"

"Well Seph" he said leaning into her ear "I'm here to keep you in check. Your father thinks i'm quite the standard" he said putting the hand back around her shoulder. The girl shuddered as the boy constantly made her uncomfortable.

"I would be careful what you say to me from now on aswell , I am rather good friends with your father. I could always send him a letter about your fraternising with mudbloods and blood traitors or perhaps your failing grades in this class or maybe your constant flirting with James P-"

"What do you want Rosier" the girl cut him off facing the boy directly

"A date?" he smirked

"No"

"Are you sure you don't want that letter being sent Persephone?" he challenged stroking the girls arm

"Just one , make it short" the girl sighed defeatedly

"Works perfectly" he finished turning his attention to the potions teacher and turning away from the disgusted girl.

At the same time this had been happening , James had been watching from the row behind her , anxiously or angrily tapping his quill on the table and making a fist so tight his knuckles were turning white.

"He's not her type" Narcissa stated

"Huh?" the boy said turning his attention to the blonde

"Rosier. Not her type"

The boy scrunched his face up in confusion.

"Potter you're so easy to read. We both know you like her. It's obvious" the blonde commented examining her nails.

"It's not obvious" James said pouting slightly

"Oh it is" Narcissa laughed amused at the boys statement "That party , whose was it ? " she paused "Oh Sirius. Sirius' party . Care to explain?"

"Explain what?"

"Your attachment issues"

"I do not have-"

"Mhm"

" I don't"

"Rightt" she dragged out "but as you can see your little crush is very uncomfortable right now" she said , the pair turning their attention towards Evan and Persephone.
"She hates Evan with a passion. He flirts with her too much and is too touchy , you have nothing to worry about "

"Too touchy?"

"Are you blind? His arm is around her shoulder right now"

"Oh ... yeah"

"My god you're just as bad as her. I'll tell you what , why don't you get help asking her out?"

"I don't need help Narcissa" he groaned laying this head on the desk

"You really do Potter. I happen to be THE bestfriend of your muse and I think the two of you would be cute together" she exclaimed clapping her hands together in reserved excitement.
"I will help. Step 1. Talk to the girl"

"Step 2?" he questioned

"One step at a time James , no wonder your love life is failing" she said dramatically

"It's not failing , i'm a hit with the ladies" the boy bragged jokingly sitting up and slowly brushing his hand through his hair - getting it stuck in a knot.

"What ladies Potter?"

"All of them"

"Not that one clearly " she sassed pointing at the girl infront of them

"I thought you agreed to be my wingman not bully me" he pouted

"Wingwoman Potter" she corrected "And no , that role is saved for Seph. I'm only giving you advice because you need it. This class is about to end , catch her outside"

Just as Narcissa had said the class ended and everyone began packing their things ready to leave. James barely had anything out so he was one of the first to leave but as he went to approach the girl Sirius jumped on his back.

"Mate I am never sitting next to Snivellous again. He smells so bad" he whined wailing his arms around

"Get off , Pads your heavy." the boy complained "Dammit"

"What now Prongs?"

"I was going to talk to her"

"Talk to who- ohhh to Percyy!" the boy said putting on the high pitched voice when saying the girls name

"I don't sound like that." he said rolling his eyes
"Come let's go check on Moonyy" James mimicked which earned him a hard hit in the arm from Sirius.
"Ow!"
