THREE.

    Mid way through Herbology Professor McGonagall arrived and stalked straight to the back of the greenhouse to Florence. "Your brother is in the Hospital wing—" before Minerva could finish her sentence Florence had taken off into the castle.

    She ran through passages and pushed through students and when she arrived at the hospital wing she saw Draco with a bandage and a sling on his arm. She ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him. "Bloody hell Draco what happened?! Who do I need to jinx. Do you need me to owl mother? Or perhaps I could—"

    Florence bombarded her brother with questions and to shut her up he wrapped his arms around her. "I'm fine Flora. Promise." He was almost as tall as Florence but she still hugged him like they were little. "What happened?" She said once she was finally calm.

    "Hippogriff attacked me." Flo's eyes shot open so wide she was sure they would fall out of their socket. "A hippogriff. This was in care of magical creatures yes?" Draco nodded and she shook her head. The Malfoy siblings left the hospital wing and she had a somewhat cruel look in her eyes as she sat down at the Gryffindor table and she eyed Ron, Harry and Hermione.

    Ron mumbled something about 'laying it on thick' and quietened down when he saw the scowl on Florence's face. Now she wasn't usually a horrid bitch but when it came to her brother she would kill for him.

    That evening, Florence curled up on the sofa's in the common room and had a book cradled in her lap. "What are you reading then Malfoy?" She heard George behind her, and where you would find George you would find Fred and most likely Lee.

    "It's a muggle book. Called Romeo and Juliet it's about two lovers." She rambled as the trio of boys sat around her on the plush sofa's as she began to read. Her body was squished between a sleeping George and Fred who was nuzzling into the corner of the sofa.

    Her eyes were starting to shut and she fell asleep.

    The next morning she heard muffled mumbling coming from above her and her eyes opened slightly. Everything was still quite blurred but she could make out a mop of red hair staring down at her in his robes. "Oh shit." She mumbled when she felt a warm arm around her.

    When everything was focused she saw George and Lee looking down at her along with a group of third years behind them which she could only assume to be Ron, Hermione and Harry.

    Florence finally realised that Fred was still asleep under her and she slapped his arm. "Freddie, get up we have potions first." He didn't wake up to she slapped him harder. He shot up and bumped his chin on Florence's head. They both groaned in pain but realised they fell asleep in their robes and she grabbed her wand.

    "I'm leaving with or without you." She said running out of the common room and slipping down the corridors towards the dungeons. She slipped through a crowd of Slytherin and patted her brother on the head as Fred and George came skidding down the hallway.

    They arrived when everyone else had begun filing into the damp classroom. "Today class we will be brewing Amortentia. Can someone tell me what that is."

    Flo's hand shot up and he nodded for her to proceed. "Amortentia is the strongest love potion in the world sir. When you smell it, you smell what attracts you."

    "Correct. Five points to Gryffindor." He mumbled and began getting out the ingredients. "And what ingredients are in Amortentia, Miss Malfoy."

    Florence pondered a bit, looking down at her book which had notes in it. "Ashwinder egg, rose thorn, peppermint, powdered moonstone and Pearl dust, Professor." He awarded another five points to Gryffindor and Florence sent Fred to grab the ingredients.

    Finally finishing brewing the potion, it wasn't successful. Fred added powdered unicorn horn instead of powdered moonstone so they ended up with a gloopy mess. The only successful potion, was Professor Snapes and it got passed around the class.

    People smelled their significant others, random people, someone even smelled Draco and a Hufflepuff lad even smelled Flo. When it was Fred's turn to smell the potion he nearly dipped his nose into the potion and he started listing what he smelled. "Vanilla, Freshly baked pastries and fresh flowers. Ocean breeze and mint." His eyes shot up to meet those of Florence who's pale cheeks had a red flush on them and then Fred leaned forward to sniff the girl.

    "My potion stinks of Flo." He boasted proudly and he nearly spilled it. Florence was the final person to smell the potion and everyone watched her in anticipation.

    She took it from Fred and her nose crinkled slightly. "I smell a fresh deck of cards, parchment and fireworks." Her eyes locked with Fred's as a blush crept further up her neck. "Class dismissed."

    When Snape finished the class George walked next to her and took the bag from her shoulder. "Which twin did you smell then Malfoy." A twinkle in his eye. Fred then came up next to her on her other side "yeah which twin, what's the difference." 

    Florence smiled softly and stopped at the end of the corridor. "Well for instance, George smells like broom polish, fire and Zonko's. And Fred.. well Fred smells like fresh cards, parchment and fireworks." She said and left the twins gawking as she made her way back to the Gryffindor common room.

    A mass of people were on the stairs and Fred, George and Florence stood behind Percy. "Percy. Honestly nobody cares if you're a prefect how many times do we have to tell you." Fred mumbled to his brother and Florence laughed. Ginny said something about the fat lady going missing and Flo clutched onto Fred's arm as Dumbledore told everyone to go to the great hall.

    Sirius was her cousin, surely he wouldn't do anything to hurt her or Draco. "Flo? Where are you going?!" She ignored Fred and weaved through the people to find Draco. "Draco, care you okay?" He shoved her arms from his face and shrugged her away. "Yeah Florence. I'm fine. Go back to your filthy blood traitor friends."

    She knew he was only acting this way because he was around his friends so she just shrugged him off. "Mother is worried for you, owl her." He nodded curtly to her as she went over to where Fred and George were and they set up a sleeping bag for her. "Didn't even get dinner." She scowled and laid between the twins.

    "I knew you'd say that." Lee said from behind them and dropped a bag of sweets and she smelled pumpkin pasties. "You're absolutely brilliant Lee Jordan." Her eyes twinkled as she wolfed down her portion of food. She noticed Fred looking at her and her cheeks became red again and she ate her food more daintily. When they had finished, the quartet of pranksters had eventually fallen asleep.
