Chasing Shadows || Draco Malfoy x OC

Year 4- Ch. 48

Harry and Ron started to yell at Professor Snape, lucky for them that their voices echoed in the stone corridor, causing their words to clash making it difficult to understand. But Snape got the gist of it. 

"Let's see." He said, "fifty points from Gryffindor and a detention each for Potter and Weasley. Now get inside, before it's a week's detention."

"How is that even fair?" Shouted Céline. Snape looked at her down his nose. "You take points from them, but nothing from Draco? He attacked too!"

"I don't see what he did wrong." Snape said coldly. "Now inside."

Harry tried pulling Céline's arm to go inside but she yanked it angrily. She  walked over to Draco, looked him dead in his piercing icy blue eyes, and stomped as hard as she could down on his foot. He jumped and yelled in pain, grabbing his foot, which caused him to lose his balance as he fell to the floor.

He glared at her, but she just looked at him with a cold stare. "There," She looked at Snape, "I attacked Draco. Do I get points off Slytherin?"

Snape stared at her, "Two detentions, Miss Everhart. Now, inside." He said icily.  She glared at him and walked inside without a second glance to Draco, who was being helped up by Crabbe and Theo.

She walked in and sat with Daphne and Tracey. She looked over to see that Harry was sitting alone at his table. Just as she was getting up to go sit with him, Céline was pushed back down in her seat by Snape.

"Move from your seat and it'll be a week's detention for you." professor Snape warned. She opened her mouth to retort but he stopped her, "and a letter to your father."

She looked over to Harry, who was watching them. He shook his head, he didn't want her to get in trouble with her father. Not after what happened during summer, he didn't want to risk anything happening to her again.

She sighed sharply and stayed in her seat. Draco walked in with a limp and sat at the table behind her with Crabbe and Theo. He was glaring at the back of her head, but she ignored it.

As everyone settled into class, Snape began his lesson.

"Antidotes." He said, "all of you should have your recipes prepared by now. You will carefully brew them and then, we will select one of you to test one out." He looked in Harry's direction as he said the last part.

A knock at the door grabbed everyone's attention, then a young Gryffindor boy entered, Céline remembered his name to be Colin Creevey. He walked up to Snapes desk in the front.

"Yes?" Snape said curtly.

"Please, sir, I'm supposed to take Harry Potter upstairs."

"We still have an hour of Potions left, he will go afterwards." Snape frowned at him. Colin shifted uncomfortably.

"S-sir, Mr. Bagman wants all the champions upstairs. They're suppose to take photographs.." Colin said nervously.

"Very well, very well," Snape snapped at the boy, "Potter, leave your things, I want you back down here to test your antidote."

"Please, sir, he needs to take his things with him, the champions—"

"Very well!" Said Professor Snape. "Potter, grab your bags and get out of my sight!"

Without another second, Harry packed up his bag, swung it over his shoulder and headed for the door with Colin behind him. There was a bit of whispering once the doors closed.

"You are wasting your time, you should begin brewing your antidote." Professor Snape snapped. Immediately everyone started getting up and grabbing their ingredients for their antidote recipe. Céline got up from her seat and walked over to the cupboard with ingredients.
