3: Potions

20:52, 9 March 2021

As Fred walked around making his way to the back of class to the empty seat next to me, I tried to bribe the other students near me to switch spots or atleast sit next to me but they all wanted to stay where they sat.

"This morning keeps getting better and better" the ginger said while settling his stuff down and seating next to me. I ignored him, I was set off and I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone at all. That was until the boy in front of me turned around, while I was scooting as far away as possible from Fred.

I was so tense and felt my blood boiling, I tried my best to ignore the boy sitting beside me.

"Snow?... are you alright?" The Tall handsome slytherin boy in front of me turned around to say that. He had a greased hairstyle that defined his curls a little and made his brown hair come off darker. He was pale but gorgeous, and his eyes oh boy -his dark brown eyes started to suddenly make me feel lost. "Yes I'm fine Jeremih, thank you for asking" I said giving him a sweet smile.

Although, my smile confused me. Jeremih Knight and I actually had a summer fling back then before we started our 6th year, it was during the summer after 5th.

We met at honeydukes and when we were both buying Cauldron Cakes. We hit it off right away but The Fling we had came to an end at the end of summer, he never made it official and I fell hard. It came off to seem one-sided on my part, I guess he was falling in love but not with me. During our fling, he started dating another girl and I never knew. I felt like an complete idiot. He was my first for everything but I couldn't help but to feel regret after, I felt like I was being used.

We decided to stay friends but we never spoke to eachother since then which made me lose all feelings for him. The only People that know of the fling is Ash- my brother, Rosetta and one of Jeremih's cousins.

"Get a room" Fred said while listening and looking at us having a conversations. Just Great, Fred sitting next to two people he hates. Jeremih is one of the slytherin quidditch beaters. Something rough happened but I forgot, but they've been going at it ever since.ย 

I simply ignored his pathetically rude comment."What's your deal mate?" Jeremih asked him.I was waiting for what he'd had to say but he stayed quiet. Weird knowing how much of an angry jerk he was, I was surprised he didn't say anything.

A few minutes later he mumbled something to me saying "take it easy on the conditioner". Whatever the fuck that meant. I didn't even take a shower this morning since my head was pounding so how did he smell my conditioner?...but I wasn't gonna let him know that.

"Mr. Weasley you look like you've had a rough morning". Professor Snape called out while stirring something in the cauldron. Fred began to say, "tell me about it, I first-" before he got to finish, Snape cut him off by telling him that he didn't ask what his morning consist of. Everyone chuckled just a little.

"Mr. Weasley would you mind stepping up to the front and sharing with the class what you smell in the cauldron." Snape said while he walked around. Fred said he hadn't mind and he made his way up to the front.

"Go on, share." Snape continued.

"Smells like...like Strawberry's and vanilla...Also like autumn but when it's cold like when it's raining even though it's sunny and ...a little bit of...mint" Fred said not knowing what he was smelling.

It had hit me that maybe he was smelling whatever it was in the Cauldron and not me, the conditioner I use consist of Strawberries. Fred knew that since I left my conditioner in the burrow while I stayed there one time around our 5th year. But that didn't make any sense to me since I didn't smell it myself when it happened to be strong.

"Thank you Mr. Weasley. You may go back to your seat" Snape said. He continued and asked the class to guess or share what the potion was in the cauldron. A 5th year from the front began to share. "It is Amortentia... very tricky to make and most powerful love potion in the world. It's known to smell differently to each person according to what attracts them." her sweet innocent voice said.

Holy Fuck. Holy Fuck. Holy Fuck. Did that mean Fred-??? No way. No fucking way.... I mean strawberries is out there so any person can smell like it....but he mentioned my conditioner earlier....eh who cares. Anyone can literally buy that conditioner so he had to be smelling or getting a wiff of a different person.

He made his way back to the seat and I couldn't help it but to stare. Fred Weasley was hot don't get me wrong, it was just the personality for me, he was a foul Git. The more I looked at him - the more I noticed his eyes had a certain glimmer to them, his freckles became more noticeable when he's calm.. his toned skin covered with freckles and scars. Even his long neck with that sexy Adam's apple I licked earlier. I sat there looking at him wondering if it was my scent he smelled in his Amortentia.

"Take a picture it'll last longer" Fred said. Making me snap out of my trance and made me feel embarrassed oh god. Why tf did I have to stare at him.

"Fuck off" I said while turning my attention back to board. I would've thought Fred would do the same but he didn't.

"You just don't give up do you? .." he said. While throwing a crumbled paper at my face.

"I'm sick of your shit Weasley." I said while standing up. Fred stood up too taking a step forward but before he could say something back, Professor Snape chimes in.

"WEASLEY. SNOW. Detention, both of you. I expect to see you both before dinner." He said, right before students left the class since class ended right after our little argument.

I should've just SHUT THE FUCK UP. Now look at me. Detention on the first day of the last year. WOW. GREAT.

The day was going by quicker than expected. During lunch I had met up with Rosetta and Hermione and we all just ate in my dorm and talked while I told them how potions went.

"He's a Pratt! Although imagine what it would be like if you two were together? I mean what if it was your scent he smelled?" Ro said while eating her lunch.

"Yeah. Imagine. Cause that's never happening". I replied.

"I know Fred, he's actually a really nice guy. I don't know why he'd call you a bitch! That is utterly disrespectful." Hermione said, adding on to what Ro mentioned. "Eh I'm used to it now I don't care" I lied knowing it made me mad when he called me a bitch.

"On the bright side, you're living other girls dreams! Being left alone and Locked in a room with thee Fred Weasley" Rosetta said before I chucked a pillow at her again just like this morning.

"I just don't want to talk about this anymore, after detention I'll just ignore him the whole year, just like I always do". I finished. Something was telling me that I wasn't gonna ignore him though, as much as I really want to.

โ€”โ€”โ€”

We finished our lunch and left to our classes. I had Care for Magical Creatures with Rosetta and after that we both had a free class period last thank god. We also ended up talking to Cho and George seeing that he had study hall but nothing to study for yet. Cho and Rosetta left to catch up on sleep or rest before dinner. Me and George just kept wandering around.

"My brother says you got him in detention? He seems to be sooooo Excited" George said sarcastically. The only Weasleys I liked was Ginny and George. I barely spoke to Ron or Percy. Never met Bill or Charlie but from the pictures I've seen - they were hottttt.

"Uhh. Ya know, sometimes I wish Fred was more like you. You are actually way more mature than he is." I told George as we walked the hall.

"Speaking of the devil" I said watching Fred walk up to us.

"He is a dickhead but maybe he'll come around" he said. I chuckled at the comment and replied with "doubt it" and said goodbye to him walking away before Fred reached the both of us, knowing how awkward that would be. Plus he would just get on my nerves. When Fred seen us, he had a confused expression and as I walked away all I heard was him mumble something.

"So now you're communicating with the enemy?" He asked George before they started play fighting in the grass and hall.

After I wondered around the halls, it was about time for me to go to The dungeons and Serve detention. With the one person I never wanted to be left alone in a room with. Great.
