Drarry Oneshots (A-Z Challenge)

Lovesick

Harry's POV

I watch as Draco sturs the potion. Usually I love watching Draco while he works, the way he's hyperfocused on what he's doing even though I know for a fact he could do it with his eyes closed, or the way he makes precise measurements without even thinking. Usually I would love this... but not today.

Today's assignment is a modified version of some love potion I don't remember the name of. It's modified so that the affects last about an hour and a half. For the assignment, one partner makes the potion and the other drinks it.

Now obviously love potions don't work if the person drinking it is already in love with the person giving it, so I'm stuck with dreading the inevitable moment when I drink it and it doesn't work... unless... i could fake it. I could make him think the potion worked. Oh, this is gonna be fun.

"Alright Potter, I'm finished." I look up and see Draco holding up a vile. "Here you go."

I sigh and take the vile. From the corner of my eye I see Snape watching curiously. Yes, this will be very, very fun. "Alright." I eye the vile and sigh again "Well... cheers I guess." Before downing the whole vile.

Draco's POV

I watched as Harry tilted his head back and drank the love potion. I tried to keep a mask of indifference as he drank the last of it and looked back up at me. I raised an eyebrow as he sat there for a moment, then his eyes got wide and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. "Draco!!!" I sat in shock as he launched himself at me.

It worked. That means... my face falls. I already knew he didn't love me, but it hurts to know for sure. He pulls back and smiles at me. "Awwww, Dray! You're so adorable." He kissed my cheek and grabbed my hand pulling me up. He latched to my arm and smiled up at me again.

"Uhhh, Sev?" Snape looked over at me, then down at Harry, then back at me and smiled.

Harry's POV

"Uhhh, Sev?" Snape looked over at us. He looks at Draco for a moment, then at me. I look at him and wink. He gives me a knowing look then looks at Draco and smiles. He scans the room to see that all the other pairs have also done the spell correctly. Almost half the class was under the affects of the potion, although it seems Ron and Hermione were paired up since neither of them are under the love potion... or have anyone clinging to them. Hermione looks at me strangely for a moment and I smile back at her. She's one of the only people I've told of my feelings towards Draco. Then she smiles and whispers something to Ron. He looks at me and laughs.

"Alright! Now that you all seem to have correctly prepared the potion... CLASS DISMISSED!!!"

Everyone groaned. This meant that they were all left to deal with their clingy love sick classmates on their own. I looked over to see my friends walking towards us.

Ron chuckled. "Good luck with this one Malfoy." He said pointing to me.

I frowned and looked up towards Draco. "Dray?" I said with sad eyes "What does he mean by that?" He looked utterly gobsmacked. He knew whatever he said next could make or break me... or at least it would if I was actually under the potion.

But then he relaxed and did something totally unexpected. He smiled at me and replied. "Oh nothing love, he's just joking around." It's a wonder I was able to stay in character, otherwise I'd be the one looking utterly gobsmacked, but I did.

I smiled and moved so that I was now just holding his hand instead of clinging to him. "Alright, if you say so."

"Ahem..." we all look over to see Snape looking at us "I believe I said class dismissed. That includes you Draco."
