"How was Your Christmas?" Cora asked.

"It was... an adventure." Olivia decided she probably shouldn't tell her about almost freezing to death.

"What do you mean?"

"I ran into Malfoy."

"Did you talk to him?"

"Yes, but I have to somehow prove that I mean it. How do I do that?"

"Just be his friend."

"Thanks" she said sarcastically.

"I mean it. Just do what you would do with a normal friend."

"I don't know what I would do with just normal friends."

"What do you do when you hang out with Harry?"

"Sit back and wish I wasn't there."

"You're impossible."

"I'm screwed. Maybe I should just give up."

"That wouldn't prove anything." Olivia turned to see Draco walk past.

"At least he's not ignoring me."

"Just go to hogsmeade together again. That worked well last time."

"No way." She can't hurt him.

"Why?"

"You know what happens."

"It'll just be friends."

"No, I won't risk him getting hurt."

"Okay well what would you do if you upset me?"

"I could try that."

"No, I actually want to know."

"It won't ever happen." Olivia headed to her dorms as fast as she could.

After she was finished making them she ran to find Draco.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Draco asked as she ran up to him out of breath.

"I made these because I thought it was a great way to start out a friendship." Draco looked at the bracelet that Olivia held out. He grabbed it and looked at her.

"Thanks but I don't really like jewelry." He put the bracelet in his pocket and walked away.

"I'm screwed. There's nothing I can do. I might as well go curl up in a box and never come out. My life is ruined."

"Don't be dramatic." Cora laughed. "Why don't you try making it so that you sit next to him in all of your classes? You have potions next so sit with him."

"That's a good idea. What would I do without you?"

"Curl up in a box forever."

Olivia sat next to Draco.

"You'll be using partners again. Your goal will be to make Amortentia. Who knows what that is?"

"The strongest love potion in the world." Hermione answered.

"Yes you insufferable know it all."

"You asked a question. If you don't want the answer then don't ask." Ron defended Hermione.

"10 points from Gryffindor for talking out of turn."

"Can we pick our partners?" Pansy Parkinson asked.

"I don't care."

"I call Draco!" She yelled.

"I'm already working with Olivia." Olivia was shocked. "I'm only working with you because I don't want to work with Pansy."

"Of course." They began making their potion. Draco reached for an ingredient making his sleeve come up just enough to reveal a bracelet.

'He's wearing it!' Olivia smiled after seeing it on him. She made it so that her matching one could be seen. She caught him looking at it and her smile got bigger.

"What are you smiling about?"

"Nothing. Are we done?"

"Yes."

"Well done you two, now tell me what you smell."

Draco leaned over the cauldron and smiled.

"Flowers, Vanilla, and..." he sniffed it again. "Nail polish."

"Do you know where this smell comes from?"

"A person, I'd rather not say who."

"Miss Blake?"

"Apples, cinnamon, and peppermint." Draco looked down at the desk.

"Where are they from?"

"I don't know sir."

"Very well full marks to both of you."

They walked out of the class together.
