Opposites Attract

P o t i o n s C l a s s

Maeve's POV:

Potions class was probably my favorite. We get to make these concoctions that do different things. I found that fascinating.

I sat at the table, semi at the back of the class. Charlotte and Enzo sat next to me, Blaise and Draco on the ends of the table.

"Okay class, today we will be making Rundlemian. This potion allows you to see who is in your future. Everyone, take the list that is on your desk and have one person from each group retrieve the ingredients from the cupboards."

Before I get a chance to speak, my lips parted, all I hear is, "Not it! Not it! Not it!"

"Looks like you have to get them Maeve, tough luck." Blaise states, while everyone laughs.

I groan and get up from my seat, making my way to the cupboard.

As I open the cupboard and reach for a bottle of Phinx Liquid, another hand grasps the same bottle.

I turn to see the tall, red haired boy looking down at me.

"Oh uh you take it," he mumbles, grabbing another bottle.

As he walks away, I grab the bottle and turn around.

He turns around, still walking but backwards. He smirks and turns back to striding to his desk.

I gulp. George weasley, or Fred weasley is... is kind of hot.

"Here, now let's start." I mumble, still a bit shocked.

I couldn't really tell if it was Fred or George. I've never had an encounter with either one of them until now.

My thoughts are interrupted by Enzo, waving his hand in front of my face.

"Hello? Earth to Maeve?"

I shake my head, bringing my attention back to the experiment.

We mixed and poured everything into the bowl, making the perfect potion.

"Very well done you guys, looks like you did it perfectly! You may each try some, but be careful... you might not see what you want to see."

The professor leaves our table, leaving us all a bit nervous to try.

"Eh who cares, lest just try it." Blaise announces, taking a spoon of the potion and drinking it immediately.

Blaises eyes shut aggressively, plastering concern looks on all our faces. He then opened his eyes.

"Woah guys, you gotta try it. You don't see your whole future but you see glimpses of it."

We all take a spoonful of the potion and our eyes shut.

All I saw was black.

But the glimpses of things started popping up.

I saw... a boy, a tall boy. Red hair.... Holding my hand, running down a dark corridor, smiling back at me.

Then black.

I see me crying and yelling, telling someone to get out.

Then black again.

I see more vague clips that i couldt quite distinguish.

Then my eyes open.

"What the fuck. That was so weird." Enzo says, sitting down, in absolute shock.

We all do the same, plop ourselves down, not saying anything, still in revelation.

"Well is anyone gonna say what they saw or what?" Draco declares, looking up at all of us.

We stay silent.

"I guess that's a no then.

After lunch, we went to our usual spot. The tree.

We sit in a circle, just chatting about random stuff.

"So, Maeve have you met anyone you fancy?" Enzo asks, nudging me on the shoulder.

"Um I don't know, maybe, i think."

Charlotte turns her head swiftly to me, "what?! You like someone and haven't told me?? Rude!"

"No, no I don't like them, I don't even know them really, I just want to get to know him more, I think." i say softly.

"Well at least tell us who it is. Come on." Blaise announces.

"Well it's either Fred and George, I can't tell them apart.'' I say giggling.

"Are you fucking serious Maeve? A Weasley? What the fuck is wrong with your brain?" Draco shouts, standing up.

As I stand up, arms crossed, "why does someone's last name determine the type of person they are? And you certainly can't tell me who I can and can not like Malfoy.'' I scoff, rolling my eyes.

"He's not a pureblood, he's a stupid git with a poor family. Why would you like someone like that?

Before I can strike back, Charlotte stands up announcing, "Okay that's enough Malfoy, she can like anyone she likes. It shouldn't mat-"

"Oh shut up Charlotte, you're a mudblood, you have no fucking say in this." Draco spits.

"And so what? Ya I'm a fucking mudblood. But I would rather be a mudblood than a prick like you with daddy issues."

"Guys, calm down, no need to fight." Enzo says, standing up trying to prevent what's going on.

"Charlotte, you are pathetic. No one loves you, and no one ever will." Draco says, stepping closer.

Enzo steps in front of Char and says, "okay Draco, you are taking this too far. Don't fucking speak to her like that. How dare you."

"Draco, if you ever so talk to me or Charlotte like that again I will fucking rip your tiny dick off. Okay?" I spit, grabbing Char's arm and walking away. I can hear Blaise chuckle at my 'tiny dick' comment.

Enzo glares at Draco, and leaves with Blaise, leaving Draco standing there, inaudible and in silence.
