Harry Potter Fanfiction~The Finnigans.

Chapter Seventeen~The Intelligent Potions Book.

After another two years had passed Chloe and Shannon were now in their sixth year and Harry and the others were in their final year. In the fourth year Harry had witnessed the rebirth of Lord Voldemort himself, his friend Cedric get murdered and his parents come alive in spirits. In the fifth year the Ministry of Magic took over the school, Harry fought with Voldemort once again and saw his beloved God father be killed.

Shannon woke up in a flash. The images of Harry being possessed by Voldemort haunted her. She put on her Batman dressing gown on and went down the stairs. She heard soft sobs coming from in front of the sofa. She walked towards it to see a boy burying his head in his knees, it was Harry. " 'Arry? What's wrong sweet-heart?" She wondered placing herself next to him and wrapping one arm around his shoulder. "Nightmare. I-I keep seeing Si-Sirius falling into th-that mirror. I miss him Shannon, s-so much much." He wept. Shannon sighed. She rested her forehead on his and held his hand in hers. " 'Arry, I know. T'is is goin' t' be 'ard bu' ye have me. I'm not goin' anywhere, okay?" She reassured him. Harry looked at her and smiled "I don't know what I'd do with out you." Shannon wiped away his tears and lightly kissed him on the lips.

Since their sixth year started Draco had been acting differently. He had been more quiet and during the holidays he didn't write or meet up with Chloe once. She felt concerned about him. She sat next to him on the sofa in the common room. "Hey Draco." She greeted. Draco was staring into space and didn't even notice she was there. "Draco...?" Draco jumped when he heard her voice unexpectedly and he smiled. "Oh, um- hi beautiful." He spoke back nervously fiddling with his fingers. "Is everyt'ing okay? Ye seem tense. Did somet'ing 'appen durin' the holidays?" Chloe asked. "I'm fine. Just leave it okay? Bye." Draco snapped before storming out of the room. Chloe felt scared, this was not her boyfriend, he seemed a completely different person all together. She simply shrugged it off and went to her Potions class.

Chloe paired up with Shannon in Potions to make a love potion while Harry worked alone and Draco wasn't there. Professor Slughorn gave them the instructions for the potion which were extremely difficult. Harry had to borrow a knackered book from the cupboard, much to his dislike. "Are ye okay sis? Ye seem upset." Shannon wondered. Chloe sighed as she carefully stirred the potion. "It's Draco, he's been acting weird. He's not himself anymore, I don't know what's wrong wi' him. He's been ignoring me and everyt'ing." She admitted. Shannon hugged her sympathetically. "Hmm, maybe ye should give him some love potion! Hope he's back t' normal soon though." Shannon joked. Chloe nodded sadly. BOOM! Shannon and Chloe's head shot up from their cauldron to the source of the noise opposite them. Seamus' face was all black and his hair looked like it had just be electrocuted. He somehow made his potion explode, causing Chloe and Shannon and Harry to go into fits of laughter. "Feckin' 'ell! Every feckin' time!" He cursed earning a stern look from Professor Slughorn.

Although everyone followed the instructions meticulously only Harry was successful with making the final potion. Everyone else's were thick blobs or in Seamus' case a nuclear bomb of some sort. Harry confessed to Shannon he followed different instructions from his book , the original instructions were scribbled out and new ones replaced them in scruffy hand writing. The book belonged to 'The Half Blood Prince' who that was, they had no idea.
