The Sad Truth

Figuring things out

I was sitting at a table writing in my journal. I need to add an extra dosage of something but what? I thought

"Oh, bloody hell" I heard, I looked over and saw the trio looking across the room. There was Ginny and Dean kissing. "Id like to leave" I heard him say. I laughed and drank my drink.

"if she looked here and saw you snogging me would you expect her to get up and leave" I choked on my drink hearing this and started coughing. That caused the trio to look my way and I tried to hide behind my notebook.

"Lilian?" I heard, looking up from my book I see Hermione looking right at me. I lowered my book smiling at her "come sit with us" she motioned me to sit with them. I nodded and collected my things

"fancy meeting you here" I tell the three of them as I sit down. When I did Hermione smirked at me and leaned forward so she can whisper to me.

"So Fred and George tell me that something might have happened between you and Malfoy" she says right as he walked into the three broom sticks causing me to hide behind my notebook. "I knew it" she laughed out, I saw him walk up the stairs and into a room suspiciously. We all looked confused, I was going to follow him up there but Professor Slughorn walked up to our table.

"Hey my boy" he says walking up to Harry and they shake hands. they engaged in small conversation when suddenly he spilled his drink and it landed on the table and Hermione "Hands on Granger" he then turns back to Harry "listen my boy, in the old days I used to host occational supper parties for selected students would you be game?" he asks and Harry agrees. He turns to me "you'll be welcomed too Ms. Evans" I nodded and lifted my glass.

"Id be delighted sir" He told us to expect an Owl. I looked at Harry and he just shrugged his shoulder. "I'm meeting up with Neville for something, I should get going" I say packing all my things, I didn't see my notebook so I looked under the table and it wasn't their either. Getting up I saw a snake on a notebook Ron opened, I quickly streched across the table and closed it smiling up innocently.

"Um, what's Liquidus Catena?" he asked confused looking at my notebook.

I mumbled "Its nothing really, its just a potion I'm making to help defend against you-know-who" then stood up rapidly "sorry that's all I can say im in a hurry" I say running out of The Three Broomsticks.

Hermione POV

"making her own potion? she must be really advanced in potion making to try and pull that off" I say shocked and amazed all at once. I look outside and see her run back to school not before running into Draco, it looked like she was trying to apologize he got close to her and she turned red. She looked around to see if the coast was clear but then spotted me and I shot her a smirk before she looked down running away. She came back to kiss his check then was on her way.

"Why wouldn't she tell us about the potion?" asked Harry, looking at the same direction I was.

"Well, Snape probably told her you were trying to block out he-who-shall-not-be-named since he could read your mind and she says its to help defend against him so she wouldn't want him knowing about it" Ron says chugging the rest of his drink.

"The name alone Liquidus Catena, roughly translates to liquid chain, but how on earth is she going to manage that?" I asked confused.

"Sounds wicked, Id love to see it when its done" says Ron, I nod agreeing with him.

Harry spoke up "guys, do you think we should let her in?" he said quietly.

I looked at him confused "let her in? where?"

"In Dumbledore's army she's a perfect candidate, Shes excellent in potions and Spells and im sure she can teach us new things we dont know" he whispered.
