potions





Sage made her way down to the great hall for breakfast. She sat by Seamus as she scooped food onto her plate. "Are you taking potions?" Seamus asked.

Sage nodded "Yeah I am, are you?" She asked, Seamus, nodded, which made her smile.

"Hae Dean... uh talked to you?" Seamus asked sheepishly, looking down.

Sage nodded slowly "Last night, on the way to the common rooms," Sage explained, "We argued a bit before I stopped talking to him,"

Seamus nodded "Sage, you don't have to not be his friend, because of me," Seamus told her, "I just feel bad about it all,"

Sage shook her head quickly "It doesn't matter to me, he's an arse," Sage said and smiled.

Potions Class

The students stood in groups as Slughorn stood in front of them, "Attention to detail in preparation, is the prerequisite of all planning," Slughorn explained as Harry and Ron walked into the room. "Ah! Harry, my boy, I was beginning to worry, you brought someone with us I see,"

"Ron Weasley sir," Ron introduced, Lavender stared at him, "But I'm dead awful at potions. A menace, actually so. I'm probably just gonna-"

"Nonsense! We'll sort you out. Any friend of Harry's is a friend of mine. Get your books out," Slughorn told them.

"Sorry Sir, I haven't actually got my book yet," Harry explained, "Nor has Ron,"

"Don't worry, get what you want from the cupboard," Slughorn ordered. "Now as I was saying, I prepared some concoctions this morning. Any ideas what it might be?" Hermione raised her hand, "Yes Miss...?"

"Granger Sir," Hermione told him, "That one there is Veritaserum, it's a truth-telling serum," Hermione explained and Harry and Ron started pushing each other, but the class ignored them, "That one is Amortentia, the most powerful love potion in the world. It's rumored to smell different to each person, according to what attracts them. For example, I smell, freshly mown grass... and new parchment and... spearmint... toothpaste,"

Sage took a sniff and smelled she smelled broom polish, cinnamon, and... a mahogany apple. "Now Amortentia doesn't create actual love," Slughorn explained, "That would be impossible. But it does cause powerful obsession. For that reason, it is probably the most dangerous potion in this room,"

As Slughorn explained, Pansy Parkinson, Romilda Vane, Lavender Brown, and Katie Bell were inching towards the potion, but he shut the container. "Sir you haven't told us what's in that one," Katie pointed out a small flask.

"Ah yes... What you see before you, ladies and gentlemen is a curious little potion. Known as Felix Felicis. Which is more commonly referred to as" Slughorn explained.

"Liquid luck," Sage finished.

"Yes Miss Lupin," Slughorn agreed, "Liquid Luck. Desperately tricky to make, disastrous if you shall get it wrong. One sip and you will find all your endeavors successful. At least until the effects wear off. So this is what I offer each of you today. One tiny vial of liquid luck to the student, in the hour that remains, manages to brew an acceptable Draught of Living Death. Recipes which will be found on Page 10 of your books. I should point out, however, only one student who manages to brew a potion will claim the prize. Good luck to all,"

Sage opened her book and was ordered to a table with Seamus and Dean. Sage opened her book and read the first step which said cut the beans. She attempted to, but they flew around the table.

Finally, when she could Seamus threw something in his pot and it blew up in his face. Sage laughed and Dean did as well, quietly.

By the end of class, Harry had brewed an almost perfect potion.

Library

Dumbledore had required Sage to meet Draco in the library for 'tutoring when really he wanted her to get answers. Sage watches the platinum blonde walk to their table "Lupin," he said coldly.

"Hey, Draco..." Sage said softly, Draco took a seat across from her. "How're are you?"

"I'm rather fine," Draco said, he was talking like they had before they were friends when they hated each other. "You?

Sage nodded "I'm alright," Sage said, "Thanks for the flowers... when I was in the hospital,"

Draco's face softened, it was like he had completely forgotten what Sage had tried to do until she mentioned it, "My mother told me to bring them. She always thought you were a nice girl,"

Sage smiled, "Well be sure to thank her for me," Sage said, Draco nodded and pulled out his homework, quickly glancing at the girl he was still in love with. She couldn't know. It was killing him inside.

"Do you like potions this year?" Draco asked quietly, "Slughorn seems...nice,"

"It was fun, better than previous years..." Sage trailed off remembering Draco's liking for Snape, "Although that potion today was a hassle,"

Draco nodded, chuckling softly "It was, I'm surprised Potter got it," Draco said before Sage could say anything he slammed his schoolwork on the table "Let's get this over with,"

Sage nodded and began to help him with his school work. Once they were done she made her way to Dumbledore's office, he was waiting for her.

Dumbledore's Office

"Miss Lupin, great to see you," Dumbledore greeted, "Come take a seat,"

Sage took a seat in front of him and eyed his hand which was black and bruising. "I have Harry keeping a watch on Slughorn, did you find anything out about Draco?"

Sage shook her head "No, we talked a little but it was about Slughorn and Potions," Sage explained.

Dumbledore nodded slowly, "Well for now we'll just keep doing what we're doing," Dumbledore ordered, "Is that alright with you?"

Sage nodded "Of course it is, whatever you need, I'll help," Sage told him and smiled.

"Thank you Miss Lupin, you're free to leave," Dumbledore told her, Sage left his office.

She was happy with the plan they had decided, it would protect Draco and that is what mattered to her even after what had happened. He was just a boy, a kid who didn't deserve all this. Sage didn't realize then that she was being manipulated.
