Chapter 2
People screaming, fires everywhere, children crying, the sounds filling my ears as I look around. I'm fighting someone, my wand is moving in my hand but I'm not controlling it, it flicks through spells aiming them directly at my assailant. They block the spell easily, their face almost bored yet i can't make out the face.
He sends another spell and I scream at my wand to block it, it doesn't and the pain of a thousand knives rip’s through my skin. I look down but nothing seems to be wrong, my body looking fine, my assailant says something unintelligible and I notice I'm falling backwards slowly.
My eyes close and I'm back at the Malfoy manor pinned down by an older woman with dark hair, Bellatrix lestrange. I scream louder begging her to stop, the pain is back and I cry out, thrashing trying to escape. My assailant is in the back, he stands in the back his face contorted with concern, my eyes focus in and I see Draco malfoy with his hands in a fist, his eyes closed.
She does something to my arm and I scream in agony yelling the only thing I can say, “DRACO!” I scream begging him to come and save me. I yell his name over and over again, he doesn't come to help me, he just stands their hands clenched and for the faintest moment it looks like he's crying, a small tear travels down his cheek.
I wake up gasping, clutching my duvet as I try to calm down, my arm begins to tingle and I look down to see the outline of a word etched into my arm. Mudblood.
I look around, unsure if I've woken anyone else by accident, Pavarti mutters something before yawning and going back to sleep. I exhale quietly and pull up my covers as i try to forget the nightmare that I had just had.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day i find harry and ron and we head to potions together, the bell rings just as we enter and we all take seats near each other. Harry and ron sit together as usual and i look at the vacant seat next to me and sigh.
Slughorn stands at the front of the class, he looks almost the exact same as he did during the last lesson i had apart from a large scar on his face. A curse from the death eaters, a scar that cannot be concealed or healed.
Clever i think to myself, the door slams open and the slytherins stride in shutting it with a loud bang, slughorn jumps at the sound.
"J-just in time, umm find your seats please," he mumbles barely audible, the slytherins take their seats, i look back to the front draco is still standing. Pansy motions to the empty seat next to her clearly wanting him to sit next to her.
Instead he looks towards me our eyes connect and i hastly look away and stare at my potions cauldron like its the most intresting thing in the world.
I gulp as he walks over to me, he takes the seat next to me and i pretend to ignore the heat that radiates off him. He catches me staring from the corner of my eye and leans in to whisper in my ear once more.
"I guess were potions partners now too granger." The way he says my name sends a spark of heat through my body and i bite down on my lips to prevent any sound from escaping.
He knows hes hot the cocky bastard making innocent girls fall for him even if they dont want to.
Slughorn clears his throat at the front, "Ahem, infront of you is a different potion for each table, it is your job to discover which potion it is from the smell,texture,colour and effects first pair to identify the potion wins 10 house points each."
The second he says begin i frantically check my notes trying to figure out the potion infront of me. Malfoy on the other hand is leaning against the table relaxed with a smirk on his face.
"Would you quit smirking and come help me please," i say as i try and work out the colour of the potion.
"No can do granger, I've already figured out the potion." He laughs at my shocked expression.
"Theirs no possible way you could have figured it out that easily, you've barely looked at it."
"I dont need to look at it, use your nose." I bring my nose to it carefully, the smell of toothpaste, parchment paper and a new scent fill my nose. Its the same potion i correctly named what felt like years ago in slughorns class.
It's him, i've always smelt him. The potion that lets you smell your desires. "Wanna know what i smell granger," the scent has me in a trance and all i can do is nod.
"Parchment, ink, perfume, toothpaste, apple shampoo," Suddeny, I know what hes smelling, he's smelling me. I turn my head to look at him, his gaze connecting with mine and i can't look away the heat of his stare becoming too intense.
He know's that i can smell him, and i don't care to hide the desire and longing in my eyes. He leans in and i do too not caring about our pasts or what we've done before.
The bell rings and im drawn back to reality, i blink and he leans closer to me. "Midnight, meet me in the library alone." He plants a quick kiss on my cheek and leaves before anyone notices us.
Outside the class, ron talks about how impossible his potion was but im not listning instead im thinking about Malfoys words. Tonight, meet me in the library alone. My face is still tingling where he kissed it, i raise my hand up to it smiling to myself wondering how the hell i got myself into this situation and whether to curse myself or to pat myself on the back.
