***For Madisyn***
Professor Snape paced up and down the rows of desks with an extremely intimidating expression on his face. "Open your books to page two hundred twenty-five." He said, exaggerating the v sound at the end of the page number. "You are going to be doubled up and in your groups, will make an antidote to common poisons."
Madisyn had zoned out until she heard her name being called by Snape, "Miss Rippey, you will be paired with Mr. Finnigan."
Madisyn grabbed her books and moved over to where Seamus sat and took her chair.
"Hello, Madisyn." He stated as he leaned back in his chair, trying his hardest to look cool.
"Hi Seamus." She rolled her eyes, but still smiled. "We should get started on our assignment."
Madisyn helped Seamus to get all the necessary ingredients out and started following the instructions in her book.
"Are you sure that those are the right berries?" She asked
"I'm pretty sure..." He said uncertainly.
"Alright, put in the bezoar. Only one." She stated gesturing for Seamus to do it.
"Mmkay." He replied grabbing that ingredient and adding it to their cauldron.
"Now, two measures of standard ingredient." She took a turn this time, placing the ingredient in the half made potion.
"Then, two mistletoe berries. You can do that one."
He threw in what he thought was the right ingredient.
BOOM!
Smoke filled the area that Madisyn was seated at and when the black, sulfur smelling cloud cleared, she saw Seamus with his hands covering his very dirty face. He was muttering something under his breath and digging the tips of his fingers into his, now extremely spiked, hair.
It took every ounce of self control that Madisyn had to stop her laughter.
"I don't think that was right." She smiled.
"You don't say?" He snapped, uncovering his face to reveal that underneath the black grime he had turned a shade of crimson.
She giggled and kissed his cheek. Seamus looked at her in surprise, "What was that for? I screwed the whole assignment up!"
Madisyn shrugged, "don't be so hard on yourself."
"Class is dismissed" Snape monotoned from the front of the classroom, giving Seamus a look of annoyance.
