Opposite Ends (Draco Malfoy)

18

It's Saturday. Time for detention with Malfoy. Eva walked as slow as possible towards Professor Snape's classroom.

They both sat down in their original seats as Professor Snape waited for them at his desk. "Miss Potter, you might as well sit up front next to Draco." He began, "He's your tutor and I expect you two to be working on potions while you are here."

She huffed and stood up, obeying his orders.

"You need all the help you can get." He sneered.

Evangeline plopped down in the stool Draco was next to, placing her potions textbook in front of her on the table. Professor Snape glared at the girl with his head held high, then glared at Draco for a brief moment. He then dramatically exited with his robe flowing behind him.

Eva pursed her lips together as Malfoy adjusted himself, "Do you wanna start?"

"Sure." She replied quietly.

"What exactly do you have the most problems with?" He inquired.

"Umm..." She thought about it for a short moment, "I think probably...knowing what ingredients go into what kind of potions."

"Okay...well that's actually easy once you know what properties a component has."

"And how am I supposed to know that?"

"Let's start easy. Rose petals. Take a wild guess as to what kind of potions those would be used for."

"Love?" She asked, not-so confidently.

"Right. So, one of the rose's magical properties is love."

"How am I supposed to remember all the properties of something?"

He smirked, "It's in your book, sweetheart."

She turned away to look at her book so that she could hide the fact she was blushing. She grabbed the book and opened it to a random page.

"What are you doing?"

"I don't know." She answered very quickly and looked up at him. He had a big smile on his face, one she had never seen before. She couldn't help, but smile too. They looked at each other for a good minute. Til she saw him tightly shut his eyes and look forward.
