"Okay, River, what potion are we going to make?" Hermione asked as we sat on a bench in the courtyard, alone.

"Um." I thought. God, now I wished I'd listened to Professor Snape when he was droning on and on about this stupid assignment! "M-maybe we could make that potion that spawns doves?" I suggested. Stuttering? Seriously?

"Hmm, Isn't that a third year potion?" Hermione asked. She shook her head. "Maybe we could do the love potion? I saw it in our books. It's not too complicated."

"Y-yeah, lets go with that." I said nervously. Why the hell am I nervous? Pull yourself together, River, it's just Hermione, be need to be scared.

Hermione took a bite out of her sandwich, getting a little mayonnaise on the side of her lip.

Biting my lip, I considered telling her. "Um, H-Hermione, you have a little mayonnaise, on the side of your lip."

"Where?" She ran her tongue around her mouth and I couldn't help but stare at her tongue. "Did I get it?" She asked after a moment.

I shook my head and let out a soft giggle, lifting my arm and wiping away the mayonnaise with the sleeve of my jumper.

Our eyes met and my heart began pounding really hard in my chest - I was sure she could hear it. My stomach began to churn and I didn't feel hungry anymore, I felt sick.

Hermione pulled away from my hand and giggled nervously. "Um, thanks."

I sent her a shy smile and looked down at my hands. What the hell was that? What the hell is going on with me?
