CHAPTER 52: non-stop

Today, Slytherin had a potion class with Gryffindor. It was their first class with the potion teacher. They were starting on the potion and Melia knew how to make it, but she went on slowly. She knew that it was meant for Harry to get the liquid luck. After Harry got the prize, she decided to stay back for a few minutes and finish the potion. When the potion was done, Slughorn came up to her.

"Finished?" she nods her head and he checks if it's made right. "Wow, this is almost better than Harry's. I'm sorry that I only had one bottle."

"There's no need Professor. We're here to learn, not to win prizes," she smiles at him and walks out of the room where Draco is waiting for her. He places his hand in hers and they begin the walk towards the room of requirements. They had a free period and decided to look at the cabinet.

"You know. When I walked past the Amortentia potion, all I could smell was you. Peppermint and your cologne."

"I smelled you too. Cherry blossom, books and peppermint."

"Peppermint? I smell like peppermint?"

"I guess some of my scents have rubbed onto you," she lets out a breathy laugh and smiles at him. Then both of their faces become serious as they arrive outside of the room. The door appears and they walk inside. After minutes of looking, they find it. It looks just like the one in Borgin and Burkes. After inspecting it, they come to the same conclusion; This is not going to be easy.

Melia and Draco had been working on the cabinet non-stop, but it almost felt like they didn't get any closer to mending it. No matter what they do, it ends up not working. But they are not giving up. They just have to think outside the box. Draco came with a suggestion that they could try it different ways instead of having to actually look him in the eyes when they have to kill him. Melia didn't believe it would work but said yes nonetheless. She was on her way to Hogsmeade with the trio while Draco was back at the castle mending the cabinet.

They found a table and ordered three Butterbeers and one pumpkin juice. "How come you're sitting with us instead of with your Slytherin friends over there?" Melia looks behind and sees Pansy and Daphne.

"I wouldn't want to ruin their date," they look shocked. "And I needed some time away from the dungeons and other dark-minded people," she says, a frown forming on her face.

"It's a new mission, isn't it?" Hermione whispers so it's only audible to Melia. "That's what's bugging you?" Melia doesn't answer and sees Katie Bell going inside the bathroom. "Excuse me, I need to use the bathroom. I'll be right back." She follows her into the bathroom and locks the door wandless. She turns towards the Gryffindor student.

"Katie?"

"Yes?" she turns around looking at her, she looks almost a little terrified looking at Melia's sudden change in her facial expression. "What can I do for you?"

"More than you think. Imperio," she says and points her hand towards Katie. She gives her some instructions and makes the bag appear from her dimensional pockets. Then she let Katie walk out before she went herself. When she came out of the room a strong hand stopped her. She looked into the eyes of worried grey eyes.

"What are you doing here? I thought I was going to do this alone."

"I know, I just wanted to make sure you're alright."

"That was a nice thought, Love. But you know I can handle myself," he nods his head before they walk out of the Three Broomsticks hand in hand. Before they are able to get out of Hogwarts, they see Katie Bell flying into the air. The trio had witnessed it and Melia led him into the book shop before the trio could see them. They waited until they had walked away. When they did, Melia and Draco started the long walk towards the castle. She could feel his anger radiating from him.

When they came back to his room, he went over to his desk and threw away everything that was on the desk. She didn't even flinch at his rage and used a spell to clean it up when he was done. He sat himself down at the end of the bed with his head between his hands. She placed herself between his legs and cupped his cheeks and made him look at her. She kissed his head lovingly before moving down, kissing his eye, nose and finally his mouth. He kissed her back and moved his hands to her lower back, moving her closer. She leaned even closer and they fell back on their bed, Melia on top. "You really know how to cheer me up, Darling," she giggles and continues kissing him.
