Forbidden love|| Percy Weasley

Chapter 5

*End of Ruby's pov*

I entered the Hall looking for Ruby to find her talking with Wood. I walked up to them, but then Oliver B stopped me by taking my arm and I felt my cheeks become red 

Oliver: Hi Y/n! I see that you have Quidditch practice.

He said, and I smiled with a nod on my face 

Y/n: Yeah, like in an hour 

I said nervously and he laughed 

Oliver: Well, I would have come to watch you, but I have some homework to finish. I already know you will be great! See you tonight!

He said, and I smiled while waving at him and turn to my best friend who was sitting with her future boyfriend and my worst academic enemy opposite them. He was talking to someone else while they were already looking at me 

Y/n: What are you all staring at?

I asked confused and Ruby just smiled looking at Oliver Wood. I knew that she was planning something. I could tell from her face, but I let it go for now and went to my practice because I had a free period in the morning, so I used it for it.

When I finished practice I changed into my uniform and headed to the first class for me today which was potions. Ah, I would die! Two hours of potions are a total nightmare. I sat next to Ruby before Snape entered the class in his usual walk and turned on the fire under some potions that were on the table with his wand. Then he looked at us with his usual I-am-done-with-all-of-you-look.

Snape: Get into teams of four 

He said, with not a single feeling formed on his face. I started looking around until Wood talked to Ruby for us to join their team and I nodded my head negatively while Ginger did the same 

Y/n: Nope!

I said and Ruby looked at me with puppy eyes

Ruby: Please Y/n I beg you. Do it for me!

She said whispering to me and I sighed. I was going to do her this tiny little favour, but that doesn't mean it won't have consequences for her

Y/n: Alright, but you own me later 

I said before standing up from my desk to go to our table, and she smiled proudly to herself. Ruby and Oliver started talking excitedly to each other, while me and Weasley on the other hand wanted to kill ourselves at that moment. I must be given the award of Friend of the Year for what I do for my best friend 

Snape: Today's lesson is about Amortenia! The most powerful love potion in the world. Who is going to tell me how it works?

He said, and I raised my hand the same time with the ginger boy. We looked at each other with a competitive look, and then Snape looked around before he sighed. No one else in the room had their hands raised except the two of us 

Snape: Mr Weasley 

He said and Weasley looked at me with a proud look on his face and I hit his arm before I rolled my eyes 

Percy: Amortenia is rumoured to smell differently to each person according to what attracts them. It doesn't create actual love it is more like an obsession and that is why it is the most dangerous one in this room

He said, and Snape removed the lid of the small kettle. I saw pink smoke coming out of it and Snape looked at Weasley 

Snape: Want to volunteer and tell us what you smell?

He said, and ginger sighed with a nod before going towards the kettle and taking a sniff.

Percy: I smell coconut mixed with the pages of a new book 

He said, and I heard a small noise like someone fell to the ground and saw that Penelope Clearwater had dropped her books on the ground. She looked at him with eyes widened and then stormed out of the classroom and started crying. He wanted to follow her, but Professor Snape stopped him. Then Ruby came to me and whispered 

Ruby: Pen is allergic to coconut 

She said, and I looked at the door where Penelope had just left from. I felt really sorry for her at that moment. She didn't deserve to get her hurt broken. We haven't talked much before, and I didn't know her as much as Ruby did, but she deserved better from the annoying git. Weasley came and sat next to me while looking at the floor and I kind of felt sorry for him too, so for the next hour that we worked on the Amortenia I didn't make any stupid remarks that could make him feel worse than he already was.
