Harry ran down the hall quickly. He was getting late for potions. Hermione had Transfiguration and Ron had a free period which meant that he was probably eating in the Great Hall.
The class would probably be boring without Ron or Hermione, Harry thought.
He dashed into the classroom, put his bag down and joined the group of students who stood there, watching Profesor Slughorn's demonstration.
"Sorry." Harry muttered, breathlessly.
"Ahh. Harry, my boy. Join us quickly." Slughorn welcomed.
Harry looked around to see his classmates. Quite dull people were in his group, actually. At the back he spotted Draco.
Ugh. Malfoy.
Harry sighed inwardly.
Slughorn began to show some complicated Potions and poisons to the class. Profesor Slughorn still looked nearly as merry as he was before the war.
Harry did not have the book of the half blood prince. That book used to help him get through the year as it was full of many hacks.
Slughorn would probably realise that Harry wasn't really 'The Prince of potions' as he usually said.
'Oh well' Harry thought.
"Here is Amortentia, the love potion. You will probably be familiar with this potion. Difficult to undo, even more difficult to make. In a few months, you will attempt to make these potions. Remember, Amortentia, smells like the smell that the person loves the most." Slughorn finished. 
He began to babble on for a while and then the group began to write stuff down.
Towards the end of the lesson, he said, "Step by step, you will make here potions. I am going to put you in pairs so that you can help each other along the way. At the end, you should be able to fully make these potions by yourself." He explained.
Slughorn walked around the classroom once, eyeing everyone carefully.
"Hmmm." He thought to himself. 
He walked around the classroom, placing students next to their partners.
He then came round to Harry.
"Ahh, Harry. Why don't you go with Malfoy?" He said, dragging Harry towards Draco.
Harry was furious.
Draco Malfoy of all people?
Draco made a face as if Harry was a sour sweet. Harry despised Draco.
He did not talk that much nowadays. He looked different as well. He had dark circles under his eyes and he seemed paler.
'Perhaps being a death eater was harder work than he thought' Harry joked to himself.
Harry could still tell that Draco felt the same about him. 'Potions Class just got a whole lot worse', Harry thought, screaming inwardly.
At least one positive thing came out of this. Harry could try to get his revenge as soon as possible from Draco.
Somehow, he needed Draco to get the Elder wand, use it for a bit so then Harry could win it off him, earning the wand's allegience.
Harry desperately wanted the Elder wand for himself. He didn't really know why he wanted it so much.
Perhaps he felt envious whilst Draco Malfoy, the death eater, the boy who was not capable of the wand, was the owner.
Even Ron and Hermione did not really know of Harry's plan.
Across the potions lesson's, Harry would somehow try to accomplish his plan.
Whilst all these plans were going on in Harry's head, he realised that he had still not moved from Draco's side.
"You gonna shove it or what, Potter?" Draco said rudely.
Harry recoiled in disgust.
Once the lesson was over, he packed his things immediately and head off to the common room.
Harry felt annoyed. Nowadays, he was always stressed or angry.
Today, he felt worse after being put with Malfoy.
They should not even allow the Children of former death eaters to return to Hogwarts.
Harry sighed. 
On the way to the common room, Harry bumped into Ginny.
"Harry!" She cried.
"You haven't talked to me for days. However much busy you are, you should at least have time for me!" She said, half-angrily.
Harry and Ginny were not really officially together.
They kind of were, but they weren't. 
It was one of those confusing things.
Harry really didn't have the time for this. He had a free period now and was not going to deal with this. 
"Well I've not got time right now, so you can stop bothering me. The world is not going to split in half, separating us, now just leave me be!" Harry half-shouted, returning the anger.
Some people in the hallway turned around to look at them.
Harry then walked past Ginny, towards the common room, leaving her speechless.
