Princess?

Chapter 12

Kenzies POV

Astronomy was tiring but I found out that Draco is really good at it and he seems to enjoy it which is a a lot more than I can say about all the other classes, that's for sure.

We got back to my dorm a couple minutes after 2am and crawled into bed, instantly falling asleep.

I woke up to Draco shaking me lightly awake,"Princess, come on we're late for breakfast." I roll over and see that it's already 8:30am and classes start at 9.

I jump out of bed and run into the bathroom, brushing my teeth and doing everything I need to do. I walk back out into my room and Draco is sitting there already dressed. I grabbed my clothes and went back into the bathroom to change, coming out a few minutes later ready to leave.

We walked out of the common room hand in hand all the way to the great hall. It was already 8:50 so I grabbed a piece of bacon while Draco grabbed us apples for later. With that, we headed off to DADA.

It was definitely interesting having Snape teach DADA instead of potions like he used to before I left but he's always tried to get this job. He always gave the Slytherins more roam over what we wanted to do since he was our head of house, favoritism at its best.

He assigned us homework as we walked out of the classroom, now heading to potions.

All morning, Draco has refused to let go of my hand and the one time he did, he placed his hand on my thigh and that does stuff to me so I let him hold my hand.

As we walking into potions, professor slughorn told us we could sit where we wanted as there was no assigned seats and unlike in DADA we sat towards the front since we both rather enjoyed potion making.

The room smelled very familiar and I quite enjoyed the scent, but where do I remember it from? I thought to myself.

He was about to start class when Potter and Weasley came in, not having books for the class getting away with it like usual.

"Now then," said Slughorn, "I've prepared a few potions for you to have a look at, just out of interest, you know. These are the kind of thing you ought to be able to make after completing your N.E.W.T.s. You ought to have heard of 'em, even if you haven't made 'em yet. Anyone tell me what this one is?"

He pointed towards the cauldron closest to my table.

Granger raised her had per usual,"It's Veritaserum, a colorless, odorless potion that forces the drinker to tell the truth."

"Very good, very good!" Professor Slughorn said very happy.

"Now," he continued, while walking towards the cauldron closest to the Ravenclaw table  "this one here is pretty well known. ... Featured in a few Ministry leaflets lately too . . . Who can - ?"

Granger yet again raised her hand, cutting him off as he asked," It's polyjuice potion, sir."

"You'd know about that one wouldn't you granger?" I heard Goyle say. Granger looked flushed at that but Slughorn ignored it," Correct yet again Ms Granger."

He then walked towards a cauldron that was in the middle, one that I recognized.

Then it clicked. The smell in the room was familiar because it was the person I was attracted to. 

"Anyone have a guess as to what this one is?" Slughorn asked.

My hand flew up along with grangers, surprising both Slughorn and Draco sitting beside me.

"Miss?" He asks pointing towards me.

"Applewood." I respond as he motions for me to continue," That is Amortentia, the most powerful love potion in the world but doesn't create love but an obsession over the drinker. It also has a different smell to each person based on who attracts that person."

Slughorn looks both shocked and happy at the same time," Good job, Miss Applewood. May I ask how you knew it was Amortentia?" He questioned, curiously.

"The spirals of steam and the mother-of-pearl sheen. Also the smell from it." I respond blushing a little as I look glance at Draco who seems in awe that I knew this one.

"May I ask what you smelt?" Slughorn questioned me.

"Oh um- I can smell um- mints, apples and a cologne." I say looking down, blushing.

I feel Draco squeezed my hand, telling me he knows I smelt him.

"What about you Mr. Malfoy?" Slughorn asked intrigued.

I look over at him and he looked nervous.

"I um- coconut, h-honey and strawberries." He stutters out, he's now the one blushing.

I smile because I realize my shampoo is coconut and honey whereas my lip gloss is strawberry.

I squeeze his hand this time to tell him that I know he smelt me in it.

After about an hour the class was over and we were free to leave.

I took my time packing my things up as Draco waited for me. As I went to pick my bag up, he took it from he as he intertwined our fingers.

Once we were in the hallway," So your attracted to me are you now?" He ask him jokingly.

"Who would've thought? Especially that your attracted to me." He retorts as I blush harder," then again who isn't attracted me." I roll me eyes and shove him gently.

He pulls me into him and kiss me then we continue walking to our next class.

Yet again we sit together towards the back this time. The class went slow and was extremely boring but me and Draco kept goofy around so it made it to a little faster.
