I looked over at Amber who was reading something. It was peculiar. She never likes to read. She put her book down and looked over at me. I fell flat straight and pretended that I was sleeping. "COME ON LOLA YOU'RE GONNA MAKE US LATTEE!!!!!" Amber screamed, shaking me. I opened my eyes and got up angrily. "AMBER! if anyone's gonna make us late it's you! Not me!" I replied, grabbing my robe and fleeing from the room. "Morning students today we'll learn this" Ammie announced as she lifted an upside-down wooden box revealing a small cup with this pink liquid inside. Jade gasped beside me. "It's ARMONTENTIA! The most POWERFUL love potion on EARTH! There's NO WAY we are learning THAT!" Jade whispered in my ear, as fierce as a lion. "Oh-What?!" I half yelled. "Does anyone know how it works and what it is?" Ammie asked and Alana, Jade and I shot my hand up. I only knew what it was called and what it did, so I hoped she wouldn't pick me. "Ah, Alana" Ammie smiled. Jade and I lowered our hands. "Smell, ma'am. It uses the smell that the people are most attracted to. Like flowers for example." Alana answers, sniffing at the potion. "Very good. Alana you've been listening." Ammie praised. "Now, page 372 and I'll be choosing your partners and on from there."

The whole room gasped at Ammie's last announcement. Ammie rolled her eyes and started walking around the room I'm not going to be with Jade! When Ammie came up to Amber and saw her confident face, she shrugged. "Amber, you can be with..." She looked around the room. "Bev Longbottom."

"WHAT?!" My sister screamed and Ammie rolled her eyes. Draco junior laughed in the background and I shook my fist at him. "B-but Bev's not ALANA!" Amber exclaimed. "Amber, I think she can tell the difference between Bev and Alana." Ammie retortered. "Ammie, stop being so plain and simple!" I commented and Draco laughed even harder. "It's either Bev or Draco, you're choice." Ammie eyed Draco with much humour. "Wait what?" Draco suddenly stopped laughing and my sister shared the same shocked look with Draco. She immediately got into action. "No, Bev's good. I choose Bev!" I said quickly. Bev, who was sitting at the table beside me, gave me a happy glance. "Thought so" Ammie shrugged and moved on. "Jade...you can be with...Ah, Emily." Jade gaped. "WHAT? PUT ME WITH DRACO YOU RANGA!" Screamed Emily, then shut her mouth. Her cheeks blushed red. "Excuse me?" Said Ammie politely. "10 points from Slytherin for being rude. Now. Lola, you can be with...Ah yes. Draco." I almost fell out of my seat. What? Be with Draco? "I agree with Emily. You are a big-headed Ranga!" Mumbled Draco in rage. But alas for him, Ammie heard him and 5 more points were taken off from Slytherin for speaking back.

I glanced at Amber sorrowfully. At least she got Bev. I sighed.

"Alright and, Amber" Ammie said and my sister stood in front of her desk ready to get as clean as Ammie did with Bev. Ammie looked confused. "You can clean yourself. Go to the bathrooms and come straight back" Ammie replied scornfully. With that, she fled from the room and walked to the bathroom. "Well, at least you're a better Weasel than Amber. You got at least 2 things right." Growled Draco. I punched him in the ribs and he turned on me, dropping the moonstone onto my fingers. "OW! DRACO YOU BIG-HEADED IDIOT!" I screamed, throwing the stone at him. It hit him right on the nose and fake tears came into his eyes. "I'm hurt! Oh, Lola! You hurt me! Ow, that really hurt! Ammie! She hurt me!"

"YOU FOULTHSOME EVIL COCOROACH!" I screeched, pushing him over. Someone pulled my hair and I looked back to see who it was, clutching my scalp in pain. "YOU'RE THE COCOROACH!" Emily screamed and tugged my hair harder. Then Ammie swooped in like a bird. "WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA!" Ammie lifted Emily and Draco into the air. She looked down at me. "Are you ok?" I shook my head. "Detention, both of you. Tonight." And dropped the two. "Lola, Amber still hasn't come back yet. Can you look for her, please? Tell her she'll have detention too if she doesn't. Thats the same with you if you don't succeed." I nodded and fled. In the corridor, I tried to look for a trail of moonstone dust. Then I found a trail which led straight to- "THE WOMPING WILLOW? AMBER!" I screeched. Amber was standing up on the top branch of the willow.

She looked up and saw it was me. "Oh. Hi Lola." She let go of a branch and waved to me. "Amber, how did you even get up there?!" I exclaimed. "I've got my ways" She replied. "GET DOWN!" I screamed, not liking the shivering that was starting to shake the tree. "No, I like density!" Amber yelled. "Pfft. That must be what she called the whomping willow." I stood up and started to half run toward the tree. "No, Lola," Amber warned, but before I got to step back, the ugly willow started shaking frantically and I got swooped by the tree. I screamed as the branch got tighter and tighter around my waist. I flapped my hands about for my wand but I couldn't find it. Amber did the same. She looked down and saw both our wands on the grass. "AMBER, DO SOMETHING!" I screamed, my face going purple with the force. "HOLD ONTO MY HAND!" Amber screeched, reaching out to me. But my arms were stuck to my sides. "GIRLS!" Screamed a voice from somewhere nearby. Oh, It's Harry! "AMBER, how- Lola!" Harry looked at me in worry, seeing my poor face. He walked forward but without realizing it, the willow swiped him off his feet and he held tightly onto his branch.

"Oh, goodness!- BOMO!" Another voice. I turned my head, seeing Dawn pointing her wand at the willow. All a sudden, the tree stopped moving then Amber and I got lifted off the tree by an invisible force and landed perfectly on the grass far from the tree. "Or just do that." Said Harry breathlessly, still lying down on the ground. "What on earth were you two thinking?" Harry demanded. "I- I just followed Amber and saw her climb the tree when she was supposed to be in potions!" I cried innocently. "Well, at least I had permission to go out of class!" Amber replied scornfully. "Yeah, but you didn't have permission to go outside the building, you had permission to go to the bathroom. Plus, I was sent to find you!" I argued. "Well, that's better than you who didn't get permission at all!" Amber argued back and I rolled my eyes. I just said that I had permission TO FIND YOU, YOU IDIOT! "Wow, you guys are only first years, yet WAY braver than me in my fourth year," Harry commented sarcastically. "You really are like your parents."

"is that a compliment?" Amber asked excitedly and he shrugged. "But that's not the point. DETENTION!" Harry yelled. Amber and I gasped and stumbled backwards. "With Lavender!" Harry says again and both Amber and I gasp, stepping back again. Amber looked at me with a look that said 'Look what you've done!' I gave her an offended look and Dawn turned to Harry. They argued for a bit and shook hands then looked back at us responsibly. "OK, so we've decided. It'll be detention with Ammie instead." Amber gasped with relief and I did the same. Then I froze. "When?"

"Tonight." I groaned. "But thats when Draco and Emily are having detention with her!"

"Doesn't matter." Amber and I moaned.
