A Mix Up
Unacquainted Lovers
On one beautiful fantastic day at Hogwarts, schooling of witches and wizardry, Zak Lovule, a seventh-year boy, and Alex Kellip also a seventh-year, are stuck together with a potion assignment. They have been enemies since the "big battle" began when Zak challenged Alex to duel on the first year they attended Hogwarts. Alex lost painfully against Lovule that day. They would duel and/or fight almost every day, (A miracle they hadn't been kicked out yet) both of them getting in big trouble and both of them neither winning nor losing in the end.
During one of their potions class, Alex's friends, Carlos and George ended up having to partner up since the teacher was picking, leaving Bad out. Zak's friends, Simon and Evan were also chosen to be paired. Leaving Alex and Zak, alone, with each other.
"That leaves Kellip and Lovule together then" Mrs. Millight, the potions teacher, always leaves Alex and Zak together on purpose.
Zak's eyes widened at the announcement, he shouldn't be surprised at this point, it always happens but it will always amaze him that she picks them two when they fight every single time. Alex is just as surprised, he wishes she would just let them go for once.
"What?! you can't leave me with...with the damn Devil!"
"Lovule we're not doing this today, please go ahead and sit with your partner. "
Zak's POV
Fuck me, I have to get stuck with the damn bloody devil. He's literally one! Black skin, horns, tail, all! How was he in this bloody school in the first place!? Now I have to work on yet another potion brewing assignment, which I know will turn out horribly.
Still, why with him? The first year we met his face said it all, 'I'm better than you and treat me like royalty '. There's a shitty person behind his nice and peaceful, 'I'm not dangerous' demon form, and I have to put an end to it.
Alex's POV
I have to figure out some way to avoid this, I don't know how much longer I can handle being his 'partner'.
Alex raises his hand and the teacher calls out for him to speak. "Mrs. Millight! Excuse me but can you please just assign me to someone different? I'm not one to speak up about people but I dislike Zak and I can't keep dealing with him."
"Sorry Kellip, this is the only class they'll allow you two to sit together in. I have to take advantage of it."
come on...she couldn't let us sit somewhere else for once? We sit together every time, just once why can't we just group with three people?
Third person POV
Lovule walked over to the back table where Alex was seated, he and Alex glared at each other hoping one would just fall and go away forever. Mrs. Millight walked around and gave each group their own potion to brew, Lovule and Kellip got the potion Skele-Gro. Most of the ingredients are missing on purpose to see if everyone could get the right brews, if they took notes that is.
The two got along pretty well for most of the class, each saying hand me this, give me that, give me this. Before the end of class, both Zak and Alex looked around the room looking at what people got. For the most part, everyone was done and happy with what they had made but Zak and Alex both had second thoughts.
Zak grunted and looked at the ingredients, rechecking to make sure they didn't miss anything. "This is weird, this potion shouldn't even be damn near the color of mossy green" Zak started reading off each ingredient quietly.
Alex looked over Zak's shoulders, "Well we don't know what color it will be till we throw the rest of the missing ingredients in." Alex looked around, "Something that goes in a bone replenishing potion is most likely something disgusting, maybe like a goblin eye or unicorn's hair."
"What?! Kellp it's supposed to be a strong potion, if someone broke their bones they want it healed properly and fast! I'm grabbing the bloody midnight petals and dark feathers." Zak growled in disgust and grabbed the contained flower. He opened the jar containing the flower and grabbed the hung feather above the cauldron.
Alex quickly grabbed the jars containing the goblin's eyes and unicorn's hair, opening them up. Before anything else could happen, everyone could hear a loud clapping sound. Mrs. Millight was clapping to get the class's attention, unfortunately scaring both Alex and Zak, making Zak drop the dark feather and Alex drop the unicorn's hair. The potion quickly turned into a burst of bubbles and just as quickly returned to its formal calm state.
"S-shit."
"Five points from Slytherin for swearing."
"N-no Mrs. Millight!"
"Lovule, no speaking. Class is over students, tomorrow we will test our brews. If they are made correctly, they should be harmless to you. Class dismissed, enjoy your evening meal."
Alex and Zak looked at each other, both with fear and worry in their eyes. Zak quickly, and childishly, flipped Alex off and rushed out of the room. Alex quickly looked around the room, almost happy to see concern in his enemy's eyes, but also felt uneasiness in his gut. He packed up and left alongside George and Carlos.
