" L/n ! " said Locksley while walking towards me.

" Going to potions ? "

" Actually yes, and you ? "

" yes it's my next, can I come with you ? "

" I'd be glad to have you . "

" Merlin, Thank you, I lost my way twice . "

" what was that ? " I said as I giggled .

" Don't laugh at me I got late to transfiguration, The professor's look wasn't really a thing that you'd want to see . "

" professor Mcgonagall ? she's friendly, are you sure that you were just late ? "

" yes -" he said and paused a bit.

" For like half an hour . "

ok I just couldn't help but laugh .

" I heard professor Snape is strict, I would like to avoid any glares for today . "

" you would like to have them later or what ? " I said still laughing .

god I can't stop imagining how did he explain this to McGonagall .

" I certainly do not want to, but it's not like this I just had my doze for today . :) "

" Keep up then . "

" Do you think he will sympathize with us because we're his house ? "

" Maybe, We can't hold into only hopes, we should make sure of that first . "

" Yeah .. "

Let me see I remember it's not too far .

" And this is unfortunately the place where I have to see you frequently, The potions classroom . "

" I kinda like it . " I said trying to make him more annoyed .

" I certainly will make sure to change such a thought . "

" Such a hard worker you are, Sir . " that came out - more sarcastic than I wanted .. am I going to die this time - too soon I really want to piss him more during this lifetime :(

" Have you ever heard about the regeneration potion ? "
" what's that ? "

" One of its ingredients is the blood of the enemy . "

What ? what was that ? I'll die to be a potion ingredient ?

" I'll make sure to bring you if I need to make it . "

I gulped, He's looking down at me .. He's not serious now, is he ??

" Cat got your tongue ? "

" Y/n, Y/N ! "

" Huh ? "

" YOU DOZED OFF ??? really ? I'm sad now :,< "

" I'm sorry Markus what were you saying ? "

" I was telling you about my owl :,< " He said still in sad tune .

Why do I feel bad now ?

" You know you can tell me again once we're out cause we've arrived . "

" Are we late ? "

" Nope , 5 minutes early come on . "

We entered and sat next to each other and just waited anddd ..

Am I going deaf or the door has been kicked ?

" I don't want to hear nonsense nor any empty headed opinions and certainly eating isn't something that I will allow in my classroom . " he said while turning to look to a now terrified hufflepuff .

Turns out I'm not deaf.. There he is that tall black figure with a clear annoyed features drawn on his face that he didn't bother trying to hide even to make a good impression for the first years, He stole a glance at me and looked back again to the poor hufflepuff

" I think I spoke in English . "

the boy has just realized that he needs to put his sandwich aside otherwise he'll be dead from Snape's glares .

" yes sir , sorry sir .. " the boy spoke with a trembling voice while he didn't make any efforts to look at him back again, Instead of that he faced the whole class that went silent enough to make a pin drop be heard clearly and carried on with his deep voice .

" Any sort of balderdash that has happened in other classes won't be tolerated in here . " he paused but not for long as he carried on .

" The art of potions, is something that only wizards and witches known for their intelligence has exceeded in, I would be grateful if you try to make your brain cells work at least . "

Man someone is pissed off, he turned and started writing on the board " Cure for boils "

" Did any of you care to look at the title of the book ? "

Am I supposed to talk or what ? ughh no you know just raise your hand l/n, I did raise my hand as well as Markus and a couple of students at the front .

" As expected, Nevertheless I won't allow carelessness ; Today you'll be brewing the cure for boils as I hope you understand what's it for . "

Sarcastic as usual - carry on Snape, Is that another glance ?

" Miss l/n, Why don't you tell us what's the side effects if the potion is brewed incorrectly ? "
AHHHh you're smirking why not honey, I stood up .

" It causes nasty boils to appear on the skin that comes in contact with the failed potion, Sir . "

" And what could possibly be wrong to have such an effect ? "

pushing buttons ? My buttons ? How sweat ...

" As so sir, some may forget to take their cauldrons off fire before adding the porcupine quills, Which will also cause the cauldron to melt . "

Ohhh where did the smirk go .. he dismissed me with his hand and turned again,

" Open your text books . "

Snape started to explain once again with an irritated expression plastered on his face and said what I have already said .. Why though - whatever do what you wanna do ..

" Now, Gather your ingredients . "

All the students started moving .

" I didn't know that you memorize the books with its line ? " Markus blurt out .

" No, I just read that too much . "Heeey heey what are you doingggg !!! you're still a first year God no please no .

" If they got you another week earlier you would've started reading the second year books too huh . "

Ok went smooth I guess

" I was bored you know . "

" of course yeah . " He chuckled a bit .

Thankfully my potion and Markus's emitted pink smoke as HE earned a nod from Snape while I was just ignored .. Right he's still mad that I didn't let him keep his smirk on, Thankfully none of the students fucked up the potion yet he'd let some sly remarks whenever he felt that the potion is poorly made .

" bottle your potions . "

we all moved to do as re-

" Not you mr Jackson cause that's barely considered as a potion . "

He took the cauldron of the boy and poured its contents in the sink ... I didn't know you were a sociopath huh .

" I looked at Markus that was clearly annoyed from the action .

" I'll have a roll of parchment from each of you before Tuesday on dragon blood ,Class's dismissed . "

We packed our things and Markus got up .

" What are you waiting for ? "

" Just walk in the way that we came from I'll ask professor Snape about something and I'll be with you in a minute . "

" Sure, just don't take long please I don't want to get lost for a third time today . "

" Don't worry I'll be right after . "

He was right there, back facing the class as he cleaned the board so I got my things and moved to stand behind him as he turned around .

" I said class is dismissed l/n wasn't that clear enough . "

" I just wanted to ask you a question, sir . "

" hurry up I don't have the whole day . "

" Actually sir, about our little deal , How do I make sure that you won't give me a lower grade to keep me away from your personal library ? "

did he just flinch ? was he really planning to do that ??

" I miss l/n will give you an outstanding if I see that you deserve it . "

" I think that you keep your word, Sir . "

" You question my honesty as a teacher l/n ? "

" Pardon me sir, but you didn't even give any sign of approval on my potion though it was just as Locksley's so that I'm asking . "

"You truly think that I will lie because of you ? how silly, you are not even worth it . "

" yes, Have a good day sir . " I said and left .

Not worth it, You are not even worth it , What's this about ? what's wrong with him ? For the love of Merlin what I've done that made him hate me as much ?! I ju-

" Thank Merlin that you're out . "

"wha- , Markus did you just walk those steps ? "

" I - I felt that I won't be able to continue so I decided to wait for you .. "

" Come on , I have to mark the halls for you by something . "

" Oh please . "

Not worth it he said ..

Am I really worth any thing ?
