The Messed Up Potion

Late for Potions...Again

Harry Potter rushed to Potions class, bumping into people in the way and getting yelled at by teachers to slow down. Harry had over slept for the millionth time again, he was up all night playing video games again with a certain someone. Although he had, somehow, made it to class in time!

Harry grumbled incoherent words as he turned the corner, bumping into someone and falling straight onto his butt. His head swam as the person he bumped into came into focus. It was the one and only Luna, Loony, Lovegood!

"I'm so sorry Luna! I wasn't watching where i was going!" Harry quickly apologized.

"It's quite alright Harry.. i wasn't watching where i was going either.." she dreamily said.

Harry mumbled something but quickly got up, as he remembered why we was there and why he was rushing. "Well alright! I got to go now! Good bye!" Harry said, rushing off to Potions.

"What an odd boy..." Luna said.

~OoOoOo~

Harry threw open the door, gasping for breath. He had ran all the way here after he had checked the time. The whole class became quiet and turned their attention towards Harry, making him blush. He had never liked the attention he got from other people and wished for once, at least, the attention was in someone else.

"And why are you late?" Severus drawled.

"I-I woke up late...Sir.." Harry explained, still trying to calm his heart beat.

"You woke up late? 20 points from Gryffindor. Now to sit down before i take more points." Severus said, waving his hand.

Harry rushed towards Ron only to be stopped again by Snape. "And where do you think you're going?" Snape questioned.

"To sit down, sir?" Harry said, with a hint of question in his voice.

"Can you not see that Mr. Zabini is already sitting there?! The only empty seat is in the back of the class, next to Mr. Malfoy. Now go sit down!" Snape said, his voice raising a bit.

Harry said something inaudible but nodded and rushed off to the back of the class to sit down next to Draco.

"Pottah." Malfoy curtly said.

"Dr-Malfoy.." Harry said, rushing to fix his mistake.

Draco had a warning look in his eye but nodded slightly and turned back to the front of the class where Snape was standing, continuing his teaching where he left off. Harry let out a sigh he didn't know he was holding.

He didn't like the attention, so he cherished the moments when for once the attention was on someone else.

Like last year when Blaise had come out that he was gay. Let's just say it was a hectic time for all of them. That's one reason why Harry didn't want to come out yet. He was too scared of the attention and bullying that would accompany the announcement. Harry shivered slightly at the thought of attention. He didn't want to be bullied again. The Dursleys had already ruined his childhood and he wasn't planning on ruining his Hogwarts experience too.

"What is wrong with you?" He heard Draco mumble to him.

Harry snapped out of the trance he was in when he realized that everyone had already started working on their potion.

"S-Sorry Malfoy... i got a bit distracted.." he explained timidly. Now Harry wasn't the type to be shy and quiet, but he had grown more quiet as the years went by. He had been bullied by a certain blonde Slytherin and his friend group for years but that abruptly stopped for reason that will be untold later. (A/N: Not me breaking the 4th wall 😭)
