“We’re going to be late to potions and then snape is going to make us lose all our house points.” I say picking up my pace as the two red head twins trudge behind me grumbling about snape.
”But Harry is probably just going to earn all of our points with some life saving adventure at the end of the year.” George complains.
”Yeah why do we have to” Fred starts
”Put up with snape”
”Everyone knows he”
”Hates Gryffindors.”
”Or maybe it’s just that you too set fireworks off in his class.” I say rolling my eyes as we walk the stairs to the dungeons.
As we walk into the class my eyes scan the room before I head to my seat.
”Veritaserum.” Professor Snape says walking around the classroom his cloak dragging behind him like a cape.
”Can anyone tell me what it does and used for? Linus?”
Linus’s head snaps up from where he was doodling on his potions book. “Ermmm uhhh.”
”10 points from Gryffindor because Linus thinks he’s above paying attention in my class.” Snape snaps before turning back to the board writing the definition.
Veritaserum -a power truth serum forcing the drinker to answer questions 100% honestly
”Fred are you thinking what I’m thinking”
“Always am George”
“20 more points from Gryffindor for interrupting” Snap snaps at the twins and I have to hide my grin.
”You think this amusing Ms. Y/L/N? Do you?”
I gulp always hating this part of being friends with the twins “N-no sir”
“That’s what I thought.”
I huff silently knowing any louder and there would be detention.
As we learn more about Veritaserum I can hear the twins cogs functioning.
“Y/N!” The twins call racing down the corridor after me.
”We had”
”A great”
”Idea”
I groan getting dizzy from between the two of them. “Speak naturally please”
“You’re no fun” Fred sighs before slapping George on the back. “You explain”
“So we had this great idea and we need your help.”
I lift a brow at them knowing they only come to me for the stuff they don’t have time for.
”Whatcha need Weasly’s spit it out”
”Can you brew us a thing of Veritaserum?”
”It’s really important pleasssseee.” Fred continues.
”We won’t test any more of our products on you we swear.” George bargains.
I sigh giving in and they high five each other.
”Fine but it takes a full moon cycle to brew you know.”
”Thanks Y/N your the best.” They shout over their shoulders running off to cause who knows what mischief.
Walking into muggle studies I put it to the back of my mind until later.
Waking through the halls I accidentally bump into someone or more they bump into me.
”Shit I’m so sorry Y/N” The guy says offering his hand to help me up off the floor.
I grab his hand and he pulls me to my feet “It’s fine r-“ that’s when I notice who ran into me.
Cedric Diggory golden boy of hogwarts aka pretty boy.
”Are you okay? Need me to take you to Madame Pomfrey.” He offers bending over to grab my books off the floor.
”N-no it’s fine.” I shake my head clearing my thought and to stop the stuttering.
Embarrassing
“Where are you headed in such a rush anyway.” I ask taking the books from his arms. He peers down at the top paper that must have fallen from my book.
”Hmm? Oh um Herbology I forgot my potions book there and I have it next.” He says rubbing his neck sheepishly.
The golden boy forgot his potions book. Interesting.
”Veritaserum? We learned about that like a month ago right?”
shit
”Yeah I was just doing some more research.” Smooth Y/N super smooth.
”Well enjoy that I have to get going.”
”Bye Cedric.” I call as he starts running down the corridor again.
”I do so much for you guys you know that.” I say pulling out the vial of clear liquid.
”Thank you Y/N we’re making a new candy and we’re mixing potions to experiment.” George reply’s while Fred taps the glass.
”Enjoy tomorrow’s pumpkin juice.”
”Or don’t no one knows what’s going to happen.”
Tomorrow. Oh no.
“Mornin Y/N” Harry says as I trudge down the Gryffindor stairs to the common room.
”Harry. Ron. Hermione.” I say tipping a imaginary hat towards them.
”You’re up early breakfast isn’t starting for another hour.” The trio says nervously.
”What are you three up too.” I say waking towards them where they’re al sitting around a book that appears to be about potions.
”N-nothing” Hermione answers right as Ron slams the book shut.
”I’m just kidding I don’t care.” I laugh walking off to the great hall to get a good seat for whatever is about to go down.
I stay away from the pumpkin juice but many people don’t and Fred and George are causing havoc with the questions they’re asking.
”Is it true you like Hermione”
Rons ears turn red before he stutters a “y-yes”
The great hall is loud with people asking others embarrassing questions and it gets worse when they realize they can ask whatever they want.
I walk over to Cedric and sit down next him while his friends are all laughing something one spilled.
”Poor Owen.” You say as his face turns red.
Cedric turns towards you a grin spreading over his face as he sees you.
”Y/N what are you doing here.”
“Enjoying havoc.”
”Have you had any of the pumpkin juice?”
I shake my head and he moves to push some towards my mouth.
”I’m good. Have you had some”
”Of course I have it isn’t too pleasant actually.” He puts a hand over his mouth trying to stop his rant about how pumpkins are over-rated
I laugh and Cedric takes the chance to pour some of it down my throat.
I can feel the effects almost immediately I feel as if I have no control over what I share.
”Why’d you do that Cedric.” I hiss
”Because I want you to be honest with me.”
”About what?”
”Well I’m figuring you were in on this?”
”Ye-mph” I try and stop myself from answering by covering my mouth with my hands.
Cedric takes both of my wrists with one of his hands and holds them on my lap.
”No escaping I have to answer so do you. So were you apart of this?”
”Yes” I blurt not able to stop myself and that’s when I notice a heart stopping grin taking over his features.
”I knew you weren’t as perfect as I thought you were.”
”Aww were you thinking about me.” I tease jokingly forgetting about the serum for a second.
”Always. You’re always running through my mind and it makes me so mad.”
”Mad?”
”Yes because I can never talk to you without spilling stupid stuff.”
”I find it cute.” I say his grip on my hands tightening.
”You find me cute?” Cedric teases moving his face closer to you.
”Yes.”
”Good because I find you fucking adorable.”
I feel the blush creeping up my neck and turning my cheeks pink.
”Can I kiss you.” Cedric asks bluntly.
”Please” I whisper and he lets go of my wrists to take the back of my neck and tilt it back the other hand going to my lower back.
He presses our lips together and I finally move my hands to his hair.
”It’s as soft as I thought it would be.” I chuckle breathlessly once he pulls back.
He grins and pulls me closer to him.
”Think about me a lot.” He teases running his nose against mine.
”Always”
