Elaine's POV:

After Harry surprised me by putting me on the Gryfinndor Quidditch team, I had such a great night celebrating with my friends. Fred and George brought up desserts from the kitchen as well as warm butter beers. We didn't sleep until 3am when one of my dorm mates, Lavender, yelled at us for being too loud.

The next morning, I was exhausted from being up so late. It also happened to be the day I had the most classes. On Wednesdays I had Transfiguration, Potions, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Both Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts were with Slytherin, so I was nervous to see Draco. Luckily Fred and I don't have the same classes...so I prayed he wouldn't run into Draco.

During breakfast, I stuck with Fred the whole time since I wanted to be there if he did spot Draco. Luckily, he was no where to be seen. "I'll see you at lunch," Fred said, looking angry and disappointed when Draco didn't show up to breakfast at the Great Hall. Fred's mood had changed completely from the night before. George told me Fred kept him up all night ranting about how much he hates Draco. "I'll see you later babe," I replied, kissing Fred gently on the cheek. I knew he was upset, and I was trying my best to make him feel better. I honestly couldn't help but feel responsible for Draco kissing me. "Later Elaine," Fred replied. He sulked off to his class while I made my way Transfiguration with Harry, Ron and Hermione.

During Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall showed us how to transform a pillow into a dog. She was extremely impressed I got it on my first try as were my friends. They especially loved the fact that I had to chase a golden retriever around the room for fifteen minutes.

Once Transfiguration was over, the four of us made our way to Potions class. "Just ignore him," Hermione said when she saw Draco enter the classroom. He threw nasty looks at all of us as he sat. This was the first time he didn't smile at me. It actually made me upset, but I ignored him just like Hermione said.

"Good afternoon class. Today we'll be brewing a weakness potion. It's fairly simple and quick to make so I figured it'll be fun for today. You're partners are on the board and once you finish brewing, you'll test it on each other. I have the antidote here on my desk," Professor Slughorn said with a smile. My heart instantly sunk to the floor when I realized that he had paired me with none other than Draco Malfoy.

"You'll be fine," Hermione said encouragingly as I stood up and walked over to him. "Why am I not surprised he put us together," Draco said, rolling his eyes lazily. I didn't respond and instead, sat next to him and made a list of ingredients we needed. He grabbed the list as I was writing, spilling ink all over me in the process, and walked to the supply closet to get what we needed.

As Draco and I worked on the weakness potion, he kept giving me horrible horrible looks. I've never seen someone look at me with such hatred before. He looked at me for the twelfth time and I finally stopped my work. "Alright what is your problem?" I asked, furious now. "Just stay out of my way Granger," he replied, and continued to chop the caterpillars. I rolled my eyes and tried to ignore him for the rest of the time.

When we finally finished the potion, Draco volunteered me to drink it first. I carefully poured a portion of the potion into a cup and raised it to my lips. As I drank it, I felt all the energy leave my body. I felt myself slowly drop the glass and heard it shatter, but I couldn't even look down at the ground, I was so weak. Looks like we did it correctly.

Suddenly, as the potion took full effect, I felt my legs start to give out. "Draco! Catch her for Merlin's sake!" Professor Slughorn said. With that, Draco actually listened and held me in his arms as Professor Slughorn grabbed the antidote from his desk. "Well done you two!" He exclaimed as he poured a tiny amount of antidote down my throat. I suddenly felt all the energy build back up. I was able to stand and move just fine. "Your turn," I replied, holding up an empty glass for Draco. "No thanks," he replied, swinging his bag around his shoulder. Just when he did this, the bell rang. Dammit. Of course I'd be the guinea pig of our experiment.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and I walked out of class last and Draco and his goons were in front of us.

As the four of us made our way up from the dungeons where Potions was held, I heard a familiar voice from up ahead. "Oi! Malfoy!" I heard. I quickly made my made up through the crowd to see none other than Fred and Draco nose to nose.
