George Weasley x Reader ~ Jaffa Cake

2 - Tall Ginger Bastard

Sitting in your potions seat next to Ron Weasley, this class couldn't have been any more tedious. Ron wasn't skilled at potions and never ever stopped complaining, and it was getting on your last nerve.

'What even IS that', he asked you whilst pointing at the Ashwinder egg laying lifeless on your desk.
'That's an Ashwinder egg you incompetent twat. Now shut up before I curse your in debt ginger ass', you snapped at him and he quickly closed his mouth. Finally he had stopped talking, and so you got to reading the ingredients list.

24 fl. oz. Standard Potioning Water
1 Ashwinder Egg (Frozen)
A Handful of Rose Thorns
Peppermint (6 Flower heads, 12 Leaves)
3Tbsp Powdered Moonstone

'Today class, you will be creating and experimenting with a weak Amortentia potion. The main outcome of this lesson will be that you can smell the scent of whomever you desire most coming from the potion. Begin.', Snape concluded and muffles quickly filled the room.

'Bloody hell, do we have to?' Ron complained once more and you glared at him. 'Would you stop glaring at me?'
You rolled your eyes and looked over to where Pansy and Draco were sat. They looked rather happy and you smiled to yourself before turning back to Ron. This was going to be a slow, painful process.

'Put the water in the cauldron', you instructed and he did exactly so, not opening his mouth to say a single word. You began bruising the peppermint flower heads and then shoved them to Ron while he was staring deeply into the corner of the room. 'Make sure the water is lukewarm, then chuck them in' you said as Ron snapped back to reality and didn't bother to check the water, putting the flower heads in.
'Now peppermint leaves. I'll do the powdered moonstone, simply because you'll find some way to bugger it up', you muttered plainly as he put the peppermint leaves in the water. You then added the powdered moonstone one tablespoon at a time whilst stirring anti-clockwise three times between each spoonful. While it was still spinning a little, you sprinkled the rose thorns in and covered it with a cloth.

'Since this potion is weak, you will simply have to add one ashwinder egg 10 minutes before our lesson ends', Snape barked as he walked past you and Ron. He noticed your covered cauldron and stopped in front of your desk.
'Done already l/n? 10 points to Slytherin.' Snape's facial expression didn't change at all as he turned back around swept past your desk.
'What about me?' Ron complained yet again. 'I added the stuff!'
'Had I not told you how to, you wouldn't have. Stop being an utter git', you scowled coldly in response and began your essay on Love Potions.

It had been an hour and 45 minutes since you had completed the first part of your weak Amortentia potion. The cloth had been removed and it sat in between you and Ron, its surface glistening a gentle baby pink colour.

'Now class, if you could add your Ashwinder eggs into the potion and stir clockwise until it forms small bubbles, your potions will be finished', Snape said as he peered down his hook shaped nose at Neville and Hermione's potion. 'A slightly off colour, Granger, I would have expected better from you. That is rather disappointing'.
You smirked at this and made eye contact with Draco as he smiled slyly at you and looked away to prevent a laugh from escaping. Turning back to your potion, you added the thawing Ashwinder egg and began stirring. The potion slowly became thicker, a slight bit of resistance pushing your stirrer as little bubbles started to form on the surface.

'Now that everyone has completed the sample potion, carefully pour it into the glass container I have provided and wait for my next instruction', Snape ordered and he went to snatch the cauldron from Neville to prevent him from spilling it.

You looked at Ron and gestured towards the cauldron and he looked at you cluelessly.
'Well Weasley? Pour it in, we don't have all day', you uttered. He quickly picked it up as you held the glass bottle and the thick baby pink liquid slowly filtered in. Once all contents were drained from the cauldron, you screwed the top shut and waited. A creeping discomfort had emerged from your stomach as you realized you would be having to smell the potion and explain exactly what you could smell. And after this morning's experience, you were rather worried.
