the echoes of everyone talking in the halls made valerie become quickly irritated. everyone was rushing to get to class and multiple conversations were going on at once, valerie's eyes scanned the hall and continued her journey to her potions class.

a certain pair caught the girls' eyes as she walked, a redhead she recognised as ron weasley and a brunette. harry potter. that name made valerie scoff out loud, she didn't exactly have anything to hate about him other than the fact he really thought he could get everything handed to him.

she walked passed professor mcgonagall and held sharp eye contact with the brunette boy. valerie had a scowl on her face as for harry having a fading grin, she noticed the professor giving the two boys a lecture and chuckled to herself before continuing to head to her class.

when valerie walked in the dull room, she noticed the lack of excitement in the room. the genders were spaced out having boys on the right and girls on the left, so valerie stood in the middle.

a amused smirk was brought onto valeries face when noticing a certain blonde boy's silent demeanour.

in stumbled the familiar pair of boys and while they were making their over exaggerated entry, valerie was staring at the snake tattoo she had on her right hand. she's gotten it not to long ago, for her fourteenth birthday.

it was a detailed snake that rapped around her hand and onto her wrist, the long tongue rested on her middle finger and it was just the perfect example as to what she represented.

" —now, as i was saying, i've prepared a few concoctions this morning. any ideas what these might be? " slughorn trailed off and scanned the group of eager girls and nodded towards a brunette girl, who's arm was waving in the air " yes? miss..? "

" granger sir. that one there is veritaserum, and that would be polyjuice potion, and that is amortentia! the most powerful love potion in the world " hermione excitedly spoke " it's rumoured to smell differently to each person, according to what smell attracts them. for example, i smell freshly mown grass and new parchment and spearmint toothpaste... "

hermione blushes before stopping herself, a loud scoff came from valerie causing the attention to be brought to her " are you kidding me darl? as if that little pot can tell you who you desire. "

valerie leaned off the table and walked towards the said amortentia potion, and leant down to take a deep smell. she smelt nothing.

" i smell nothing? what? i knew it was absolute rubbish " valerie scrunched up her face and turned to her stunned professor.

" you don't? well that- that's impossible? oh no no " slughorn rubbed his forehead and squeezed his eyes closed " uhm someone else come have a smell... draco drac-yes draco come here "

the said boys' eyes widened and ushered with several no's but the man grabbed ahold of his arm and pushed him to smell.

dracos eyes trained on the pot, dancing all around the rim before sighing and leaning down to sniff " i-i smell strawberry's, uhm tattoo ink a-and trees? "

" who smells like tattoo ink and trees? that's bloody brilliant " valerie snickered but noticed the stares she was getting " what? "

hermione lifted her eyes and stared up at the girl " you do. "

valeries head tilted and she snorted " well i need new perfume that's for sure "

the class was beyond surprised with the girls answer and draco stood embarrassed and silently upset. he knew the girl wouldn't understand the whole situation since her lack of emotions led her to not being capable of love.

draco walked away from the potion and girl, before going back to his original spot and ducking his head. lovely.


word spread around quickly about valerie not smelling anything in the amortentia but no one dared to ask her about it, in fear of getting hexed.

valerie spent her afternoon minding her business and processing some final moves, she had to make before checking in with draco. she had little faith in the boy, the two both knew he wasn't capable of killing dumbledore but valerie knew draco knew better than to come back empty handed.

the girl held a sandwich in her hand, it contained lettuce, cheese and cucumber. valerie had made it herself and the house elf's were kind enough to let her do so.

just as the girl was about to take a loving, long bite of her sandwich. a person knocked into her shoulder making her drop her latest creation.

it was like it happened in slow-mo, the bread fell on the ground harshly knocking the top off and the continents scrambled around everywhere " i swear to merlin, i will not hesitate to hex you right now. if you don't get out of my face in mili 2 seconds, your dead "

before valerie could comprehend, a screeching of shoes were off and she looked up to see blaise running. so she done the only reasonable thing she would think of, she ran after him.

" i'm sorry valerie, i-i didn't mean to " blaise pleaded as the girl was catching up to him and he jumped down a staircase and threw the doors of the slytherin common room " i don't care, that sandwich was my pride and joy "

valerie ran in to see a panicked blaise trying to hide behind a couch and others stood horrified.

" what is going on here " harvey asked form the couch blaise was hiding behind.

" that little twat knocked me and i dropped my sandwich! " valerie yelled glaring harshly at the dark skinned boy and went to grab her wand.

harvey's mouth fell ajar and he went to say something but he was beaten by draco " are you serious? all this because of a sandwich? pathetic. "

" the only thing pathetic here is your little buddy, your so lucky harvey's there protecting you. otherwise you'd be through that wall " valerie threatened the boy squinting her eyes.

" this is exactly why i hate our house, no one has brains and thinks with their wand " harvey mumbled before grabbing his book and walking up to his dorm, completely forgetting the fact he was the reason blaise wasn't getting hexed until he heard a loud scream and a trail of laughter and footsteps after.

" ow! that really hurt valerie! "
