Forbidden Love

Chapter 9

I enter Potions class and see Draco and Mattheo already seated and I make my way over to my seat at the table beside them. Since this is where I chose to sit on the first day of class, this is where I'll remain for the rest of the semester. Fucking great. 

Mattheo is once again, staring me up and down, while Draco's focus is on the lesson that's displayed on the board at the front of the classroom. 

I ignore Mattheo's staring and open my textbook to page 79, as written on the board ahead. 

As I'm turning through the pages, I accidentally drop my wand on the floor and the swish of it causes a glass to break at the front of the classroom. Everyone turns to look at me.. I stare at the broken glass on the floor ahead and try not to make eye contact with anyone around me, when Professor Snape enters the classroom.

"Only the second day of school and someone is already trying to test my patience.." Snape mutters as he turns around to face the class, displeasure plastered on his face. 

Draco and Mattheo shift their gaze toward me as I bend down to pick up my wand and hear Mattheo whistle and Draco howl like a wolf. 

I stand back up and look at them, rolling my eyes. As I am about to sit back down, Snape catches me with my wand in my hand, the position of my wand pointed directly at where the broken glass was sitting.

"Ms. Haynes.." My body tenses up and I swallow hard as I turn to look at Snape.

"Professor?" I quickly reply with attitude, owning what I just did.

Snape walks to the back of the classroom where I am and stands between my table and Mattheo and Draco's table. 

"Detention.." I side eye Draco and Mattheo and hear them snicker quietly. 

"All three of you.. tonight."

Fuck. This can't be happening to me.

"Yes, Professor." I say to Snape as he turns around and makes his way to the front of the classroom once more to finally begin our lesson.

We learn about the Gillyweed potion in class. 

Gillyweed  is a magical plant that provides anyone who consumes it with fish-like properties. It is an edible "potion". It's green in color and resembles rat tails. 

If I ever want to go deep swimming in the Black Lake, I know what to use.

45 more minutes goes by..

As we end the class with a quiz over yesterday's lesson Veritaserum, I receive my graded quiz just as class ends and I answered every question correctly. 

Studying does pay off, Mattheo.. 

I shove the pieces of paper into my folder labeled, Potions, and begin to collect my belongings. 

Snape walks by and harshly taps his wand on my desk before placing a pink piece of paper on it.

It's a detention slip.

It reads: Detention Slip: 2 hour period, right after dinner. You will be sorting books in the library. Signed Professor Snape.

I let out a soft breath and walk out of the classroom to head toward the Slytherin Common Room since class with Professor McGonagall was cancelled for today. I walk up to the entry door to the common room and smell a strong aroma of weed. 

Mattheo douchebag Riddle.

I push the door with force, as if I'm making a dramatic entrance to find Mattheo, Draco, a tall dark skinned boy who I believe is Blaise, and three other boys lounged on the couches.
