Black Lake Secrets ⇾D.M.

iv. felix felicis

We were all grouped into four and we had to work on an potion that professor Slughorn told us. In return, he would give us a teardrop shaped vial of liquid luck.

As promising as it sounds, I wouldn't be needing it. Rather, I would be giving it to Draco. To help him in fixing the vanishing cabinet. I looked over at his side, and I could notice that the bags under his eyes darkened, his skin became paler and he was more thin than ever. I frowned at turned my back at him. I have to do this quick.

When professor Slughorn wasn't looking, I faced my empty cauldron and in snap of my fingers, my brewed potion is ready.

I raised my hand, and all their eyes turned to look at me. All of them are struggling in cutting the bean, Harry looked calm, but his eyes widened at me. Hermione's hair, sticking up all over her face and tried to look calm.

I just blinked at all of them.

"Merlin's beard Ms. Cordelia, I didn't know you could be able to finish it faster." He chuckled and dropped something red into my cauldron which caused it to burn and into the brewed potion.

"It's perfect!" He grinned. And for the first time of everyone in this room, I smiled.

"Use it well Ms. Cordelia. Use. It. Well." He spoke before handing the vial to me.

After Potions, I managed to follow Draco around again in a good amount of distance. He was brisk walking, and I could think that he was going to fix the vanishing cabinet. But I just don't know where that is.

"Following me around again huh? What are you, my secret admirer?" He snarled at me. I blinked at him.

"You really don't speak do you?" He asked.

I shook my head.

"But you can understand me?"

I nodded my head.

"That's good. At least I'm assured that you're not stupid." He spoke and then turned his heels and walked away again.

Walking behind him and following him. He pretended to ignore for a few seconds until he turned to face me again.

"What is it that you want?" His nostrils were flaring and I slipped my hand inside my pocket. Giving him the liquid luck.

"Why are you giving that to me?" He asked.

I blinked.

"That's yours to keep not mine."

But I still insisted and still held it to him.

"Fine." He said and took it from my hand.

I smiled at him and then walked away.

Draco watched as the girl happily skipped away from him. He couldn't understand her and why she couldn't talk. Why a gryffindor girl would follow him and give him the liquid luck.

His heart then made a leap.
