Rose headed down to the dungeons. Potions with slytherin next. She walked into the classroom and took her normal seat next to her cousin Albus who surprisingly had been sorted into slytherin unlike the rest of his family who were Gryffindor's including Rose herself. She sat down and got her textbook out read to start the lesson.

A few minutes later professor Slughorn walked through the door And made his way to the front of the class, to stand in front of a cauldron emitting pink and red fumes. Just as he was about to start teaching, the classroom door opened again and a blonde haired boy walked in. His hair was messy and his grey eyes bright, his also usually pale cheeks had a small pink flush to them. It was obvious he had been running.

"Sorry Sir, I was on my way over and the bloody stair case decided to change while I was half way down it." He planted out regaining his posture and pulling his signature smirk. Professor Slughorn nodded." That's quite alright boy, just take a seat there next to Weasley." Malfoy pulled a face and sighed as he sat down next to Rose. Rose was no better at containing her emotions either. She stuck her nose high in the air turning away from Malfoy and scowling.

" Now, now let's have non of that I'm sure you can manage one lesson sat next to each other." Professor Slughorn tried to reason with them, it didn't work Malfoy snorted and Rose scowled." Now, I'm going to need two very brave volunteers." Professor continued ignoring the resent remarks of both Rose and Malfoy. Rose and Malfoys hands where in the air before you could say hippogriff. They had an on going unspoken competition for better grades and better class work so if the teacher asked for a brave volunteer then they would obviously try to out do each other.

" Ah, Weasley, Malfoy you can both come up here." Professor continued." This should be interesting" Albus muttered under his breath, he thought no one would hear him but Rose did whilst she was standing up she glanced at Albus shooting him a confused expression. Malfoy and Weasley made their way to the front of the classroom and stood behind the mysterious cauldron. "Now I want you to both smell the potion." Professor continued. Malfoy and weasley shot each other nervous glances but if anyone asked they would have denied it.
" Ew this disgusting potion smells like that horrible perfume you wear weasley." Malfoy stated turning his face away from the cauldron.
" Oh really, I thought it rather smelled like that horrible cologne you insist on wearing." Rose snapped before turning her head away also.

" Now could any one tell me what they think this potion is?" Slughorn asked though he now had a huge grin on his face much to the confusion of Malfoy and Weasley.
" Ah yes, Nott" professor Slughorn said pointing at a student, presumably Nott.
" I believe it's Amortentia Sir." Nott replied.
" You believe correct my boy, now can you say any more about Amortentia as some students still don't know what it is." By this point all the colour had drained from both Malfoy's and Weasley's face, both being quite clever they both knew exactly what Amortentia was.
"Amortentia, more commonly know as love potion, smells of the thing that attracts a person most." Nott finished a huge grin plastered on his face as he watched the remaining colour drain from both Malfoy and Weasley's face.

By now the whole class was grinning and smirking, and a few were cat calling." Now, now settle down." Professor continued waving his hands to emphasize his point." You can both return to your seats now." He said looking at the exceptionally pale students at the front of his class. They both shuffled back to their seats remaining silent for the rest of the lesson.

At the end of the lesson Rose packed up extra quick hurrying to get away. As she ran out the door she felt someone grab her wrist and pull her aside. As she turned around to see grey eyes piercing into her sapphire blue eyes. Malfoy nervously scratched the back of his neck." So maybe you're not that bad after all." He said barley managing to get the words out." Wow Malfoy, is that a compliment?" Rose said it with sarcasm but she was quite shocked." Uhm I guess so, I mean it's ok if you don't like me, that's cool, I mean I know cos the potion but..."  his words were cut off by soft lips pressing against his own. " I like you two Scorpius." Rose said a small smile on her face and the pink returning to her cheeks." Very much so.." this time she was cut off by Scorpius caressing his lips against her own. They stayed like that for God knows how long. But it didn't matter. All they mattered was them there in that moment.

In Love.💝
