Opal did not enjoy potions.
Slughorn had paired everyone up with another student, James was with Dorcas, Remus with Mary, Peter with Sirius, Marlene with Lily. Opal was stuck with Snape.
The only thing getting her through the lesson was that she could see the pale pink hair peeking out from under his hood.
"Shut up, Potter." Opal said, raising her middle finger up at him and Sirius who couldn't stop laughing at her as Snape collected the ingredients.
"Awwh, poor Opal." James snickered.
"Hey Lils, did you know James keeps a photo of you under his pillow and kisses it-"
"No, I do not! Don't listen to her, Evans."
"Shut up then." Opal turned towards her cauldron carefully putting the sprigs of lavender into the liquid. Professor Slughorn kept a close eye on her, not anything to do with the fact she almost burnt half the school down last year by mixing poly juice potion and Felix Felicis together. For an experiment.
By the time the lesson ended Opal and Snape had successfully made a sleeping potion. Peter and Sirius on the other hand had an empty cauldron as their mixture had turned into a large ball and bounced out of the classroom into the corridor.
"Okay students, pack up your books and place your potions at the front of the class." Slughorn said, dismissing the class.
"I am so glad to be out of there." Opal said as they made their way towards the great hall. "Did you see what Snivellus did when I added the flobberworm mucus in. His nose almost bloody fell off."
"I thought it was funny." Sirius said, putting his arm around Opal's shoulder.
"You won't find it funny when I give you a potion that makes your hair fall out."
Sirius gasped, grasping onto his hair. "You wouldn't!"
"Oh I would." Opal laughed, sitting down next to the girls in the great hall for lunch.
"Evans, last chance. Do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me?"
Lily sighed, cutting her sandwich into squares. "Potter. I would rather eat ten thousand pieces of poo flavoured Bertie Bott's beans, than go to Hogsmeade with you."
Remus silently pushed over a bowl of ice towards James.
"Just give up mate." Sirius patted his shoulder.

When the day's lessons ended, the Gryffindor students entered the great hall awaiting news.
"Oi Amethyst!" Opal called her older sister, she sat with her boyfriend Fabian Prewett.
