People stray away from me now, apparently word has gone around about what happened between Mulciber and I. Not that I care, I find it better than having to socialize with people that don't matter to me. Reg is out of the Infirmary now, He hasn't gone quite back to normal since he you know...Almost drowned to death, but that was to be expected. Sirius hasn't left his side, and even though he says he hates it, I can tell he really loves having his brother follow him around.

I'm on edge all the time, Dumbledore hasn't said a single word to me since the accident. Four days of Radio silence. I don't know what he's planning, I don't know what to expect, and that is slowly driving me to insanity.

"You okay?" James nudges my shoulder with his.

I snap out of my daze and look at him, Slughorn's boring voice slowly coming back into focus. "I'm fine, just drowning out the lesson"

James smirked, "I think you'll want to pay attention to this one"

I frowned at him in confusion and turned back to look at the board, In bold white chalky letters read the word "Amortentia". My eyes widened on their own accord as I felt my heart drop to my stomach. I can't handle this on top of everything else.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me"

I hear James laugh next to me, "Not so exited for this one, huh?"

"No" I look back at his grinning face, "You are?"

He shrugged, "Not really, I already know what I'm going to smell"

Lily?....Me?

"What do you think you'll smell?" I asked, trying to mask my curiosity.

He just smirked annoyingly at me, "Wouldn't you like to know"

"I would, actually" I frowned, "Tell me"

James simply shook his head, "Not until the potion is done"

I huffed in annoyance and turned back to look at slughorn, "Fine"

Slughorn listed down all the ingredients needed for the potion, today will be all about learning the proper methods and learning the consequences of such powerful potion. We will start brewing it tomorrow and then keep checking it for nine days, how fun.

I spent the rest of the lesson ignoring James' attempts to talk to me, instead using the time to write down the words Sluggy said and drawing the occasional doodle. By the time it was time to leave, James was frustrated beyond belief with my silence. I grabbed my stuff and walked out with him following being me like a lost puppy.
