"Shirosagijo?"

He rolled his eyes. "don't feel too flattered (L/N). i'm only here to get away from that idiot, Malfoy."

"pretentious isn't he?" you said lowering your eyes back to your book. "pompous little bastard. he thinks that just because his father is influential with the ministry he can walk all over the rest of us." he crossed his arms and leaned against the seat. he lifted his legs and rested against the whole seat.

"i still have friends yknow. they might come back." i told him.

"don't care."

i rolled my eyes. i noticed he didn't have to fold his legs in order to fit. i would.

"you're a lot shorter than i thought you were." it was funny to think that i was scared of him as a first year. his eyebrow twitched.

"why are you sitting with a mudblood like me?" i asked. it was genuine curiosity but i shouldn't have asked. he immediately stood up and glared at me. "don't call yourself that." he opened the door and left, slamming it behind him.

i flinched at the noise but yelled after him. "why not? your buddy murasaki was fine with it!"

was. not after he became friends with valt. but why should i tell him that?

valt was such a sweet boy. a pureblood, but he was so nice to everyone. he didn't care about anything else except you. and he would do anything for his friends. even if he wasn't very good at transfiguration and couldn't help with that.

"Georgie, quit it!" i laughed. he accidentally pulled the hair tie out of my ponytail but he was now holding it out of my reach. "Freddie don't join him." i frowned as he grabbed it from his brother and ran from me. i chased after them in an attempt to get it back.

"aguamenti!" fred slipped and went crashing into some fifth years. they screamed and scrambled to get up.

"oh no i'm so sorry." i tried helping one of them up. it was a bunch of girls along with murasaki, shirosagijo, and a small third year with spiky black hair.

murasaki shook me off. "i take back my apology." just because he became friends with valt didn't mean he became my friend.

he glared at me and i pulled out my wand. he raised his arms in surrender.

fred bumped my shoulder and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. "fred let go!" i struggled out of his grasp and dropped my wand. george picked it up.

"love, he hasn't done anything it was our fault." he reasoned. i didn't move, glaring at the blond. "you should apologize again." shirosagijo said. i looked at him. fred was holding me up so i had to look down. "whatever you say shortie." i slipped past fred's arms.

"sorry, murasaki. it won't happen again." i grabbed my want from george's hands and left.

my ears were burning. it was just a habit of getting into fights with murasaki. it wasn't usually his fault. fred and george followed.

"we have to go with lee. see you later?" fred said. i nodded. i had to go to class anyways.

potions. i snickered as i remembered potter's little squabble with snape. he didn't give me much trouble, surprisingly. i mean, besides the occasional snarky remark about my mediocre potions abilities, he didn't really make a big impact in my life.

what did make my potions class fun, was the frequent arguments between shirosagijo and murasaki, they were both natural potioneers.

and from their arguments i learned a lot from the shorter boy. i hate to admit it but he seems pretty cool.

"you crush the bean you don't slice it." lui growled. wakiya glared. "i'm slicing it so it can last longer, shirosagijo."

they argued back and forth, throwing ingredient after ingredient into the cauldron.

at some point he called him a shark and i let out a stifled giggle. they both turned and i felt my face burn. "sorry." i said immediately.

"it's rude to listen in on people's conversation, princess." lui said.

"don't, don't call me that." i said. my cauldrons contents bubbled beside me. "it's going to blow up if you don't put in some horse radish." lui pointed out.

"right." i added the ingredient and it stopped bubbling and turned a deep shade of purple.

"did you even make the right potion?" wakiya asked. "it smells like chocolate."

"what are you talking about? it smells like, like cantaloupe. and strawberries... and..." lui drew closer in order to get a better grasp of what he smelled. "did you dump your perfume into it? you know that's flammable right?"

"i didn't! i didn't even wear perfume today because we were going to light it up." i glared at him as best as i could and gathered up my things. "i may not be an expert at potions like you but i still know the basics of potion safety, shirosagijo."

i magiced away my potion and decided to start from scratch.

•~•~•~•~••~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

"you do know it was amortentia, right?" wakiya told lui.

"the love potion?"

"yes. and for you it smelled like... (Y/N)..."

he didn't say anything. then, "obliviate."
