Lily's P.O.V

It's the next day, and the four of us headed down for breakfast together. After we ate, we headed to our first class, potions. I was excited and nervous, but I had a good feeling about Slughorn. I stood next to Hermione after I got my book. Harry and Ron were late. Slughorn started class with "welcome everyone! Now if you see here, I have three cauldrons. Anyone happen to know what's in them?" Hermione raised her hand. She began "this one's Veritaserum, it's a truth telling potion." I couldn't hear what she said for the 2nd one because I dozed off to see Harry and Ron fighting for a book. Ron won. I went back to what Hermione was saying. "This one's Amortenia. It's a love potion that smells of what most appeals to you. For instance I smell grass, parchment, toothpaste," she kept going. I only smell one thing- Harry. I smiled as I took in the scent, and it reminded me of all the times I shared with Harry. Slughorn's voice became muffled, and I was taken over by the smell. After a few seconds, he covered it up, and I couldn't smell it that strong anymore, until Harry came next to me. I looked at him and smiled. After Slughorn told us about Felix Felicis, liquid luck, we began to brew a potion to see who would win the liquid luck. Harry was brewing away, and I was about a third of the way there. Everyone else was struggling to brew the potion. Harry tried giving Ron and Hermione tips but they didn't accept. Time was up now, and I was done, as well as Harry. Slughorn checked Hermione's, and I realized I forgot one ingredient. Dang it. He then checked Ron's, then mine, and then Harry's. Harry won, and when class was over, I said "I might have won that if I didn't forget one ingredient." We laughed and then got to our next class. After all our classes, Dumbledore called Harry to his office, and I hugged him tight. I said "be careful." Harry nodded and said "I will be." He kissed me and then left. My eyes watered when he left, and Hermione noticed. She said "I know it hurts to see him walk away, but he'll be back." I nodded as I felt a tear fall down my cheek. I was anxious for him to come back, and it felt like I was waiting for hours. When he came back, I ran and hugged him. He hugged me back and whispered "shh. It's ok, I'm here." He kissed my head and then sat on the couch. I sat next to him and kissed him. He smiled and said "someone missed me." I giggled and nodded. We went to bed early because we were tired. I wonder what other things this year has in store for us.

So sorry for not posting in a while! As I said, I'm now in school, specifically in 8th grade, so I'm focused on scholarships and my grades. Please excuse me in the future because I won't be posting so recent probably. Onto the next chapter!
