Scarlet's p.o.v 

The next day, first lesson is Transfiguration again. I walked with Draco as Ron and Harry were nowhere to be found at breakfast. 
We were working quietly as a grey tabby cat, aka Professor McGonagall, sat on her desk and watched us, when Harry and Ron rushed in, gasping for breath.

"Whew! We made it! Can you imagine the look on McGonagall's face if we were late?” Ron said. Suddenly the cat hopped off the desk and morphed into McGonagall. "That was bloody brilliant!" Ron exclaimed.

"Thank-you for that assessment Mr. Weasley. Perhaps it would be more useful if I transfigured Mr. Potter and yourself into a pocket watch. That way one of you might be on time." Professor said sternly. "Sorry we got lost." Harry said. "Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats." She said. 

Next was potions. The Slytherin and Gryffindor students were chatting amongst themselves but quickly came to a stop when Snape burst into the room.

"There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion making. However, for those select few who possess the predisposition." Said Snape.

 I was really looking forward to potions as it seems so interesting to me. Harry began to take notes and I tried to nudge him because I knew Snape would be annoyed.

"I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I show you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death. Then again maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to not pay attention." Snape continued. Hermione nudged Harry and he looked up.

"Mr. Potter, our new celebrity. Tell me, what would I get if I added root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Snape asked Harry. Hermione and I's hands shot up. "You don't know? Well let's try again. Where Mr. Potter would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?" He asked coolly.

"I don't know, sir." Harry replied. "And what is the difference between monkswood and wolfsbane?" Snape asked. "I don't know sir." Harry said again. "Pity. Clearly fame isn't everything. Is it Mr. Potter? 5 points from Gryffindor for not paying attention in class" Snape said.

The rest of the lesson was great for me as I was very interested in potions but it was terrible for Harry. Snape despised Harry's father and Harry is the spitting image of him. I guess that’s why Snape hates Harry the same way he hated his father as throughout the lesson, he picked up on every little thing Harry did and found a negative in it.

Night fell and I was reading in my room until a little paper bird flew into my room and landed on my bed.

'Meet me in the common room, Draco xx'

So I headed down to the common room and saw Draco standing at the bottom of the girls dorm stairs. "Hi" I said. "Hello twinny" he replied. I smiled, it had been a while since he last called me that. "I was thinking we could study tomorrow in the library as I haven't seen you much since the start of term" he asked. "Of course I love spending time with you" I replied. "See you at 7 tomorrow evening in the library?" He asked. "See you then" I replied.
"Good night twinny" I said. "Good night twinny" Draco replied kissing me on the top of my head before he turned and walked towards the boys dorms.

I went up to bed, and fell asleep almost immediately with Midnight and Moonlight curled up at my feet.
