what happened in potions class - enemies to lovers

chapter 1

The classroom was quiet as Professor Snape taught the class how to make a lust potion. Hermione rolled her eyes and sighed making Harry elbow her hard.

"What the fuck was that for?" Hermione hissed at him. Harry ignored her and tried to memorise the ingredients. He didn't enjoy potion class that much but something told him that this potion would come in handy, in particular with the person he liked. He was never really one for crushes but this time he'd fallen hard; too hard.

Ron raised an eyebrow at Harry who was listening to Professor Snape's every word. He never paid this much attention and now Ron was intrigued as to why.

"Ron stop staring," he said angrily before turning his attention back to Snape. He needed to know everything there was about this potion. It didn't matter whether or not he had the guts to use it all that mattered was that he knew how to make it.

Professor Snape dismissed the class, after reminding them all that the next lesson they would be attempting to make the potion. Harry walked out of the classroom with Ron and Hermione and felt a familiar pair of eyes follow him out of the room. He couldn't help the butterflies in his stomach.

His palms were sweaty as they made their way to the dining hall. The butterflies were multiplying and he cursed silently. How could it be so easy to fall in love with someone and hate them so much at the same time. He sat down in between Ron and Hermione, immediately stuffing his face with food so that they couldn't ask him questions.

He felt unusually warm but he ignored it and continued eating. Ron and Hermione both realised that they weren't going to get anything out of Harry and started eating too. They all ate in silence listening to all the conversations going on around them. The trio walked out of the dining hall together just as quietly as they went to their next class which was at Hagrid's hut.

Ron watched Harry the whole way down to the hut, a mix of concern and confusion on his face. Why was Harry so focused on potions all of a sudden? They reached the hut and Harry could feel their presence and he felt even hotter than before. He gasped and cursed himself mentally. He'd forgotten to take his suppressants and his heat had just started.
