Changing the Plot: A Harry Potter Fanfiction

AMAIRA'S POV—

Weasel and Potter were sitting with me in the potions class. Potter on my left side and Weasel on my right side.

Right now, we were making a potion. Truthfully, both of them are useless. They don't even know how to make a simple person. I can see how their group works. Granger is the brains, Potter is the body, and Weasel is the soul. Professor Snape told Potter to help me, but all he is doing to make my work more difficult.

I yelled, "Hey! Put those frog eyes after you put the bat wings."

Weasel scoffed, "If we are doing wrong then, do it yourself—"

"What did you? You were the ones, who broke my nose," I interrupted him. I put my face directly in front of his face. He blushed wildly and immediately turned his head away from me.

Hah! I am back to zero. I still don't know what to do about Granger. Out of these three, his points are in negative. He hates me very much. Although, it's my fault. I always antagonize him. Now, I have to fix the mess.

Potter grumbled, "Concentrate, you two. Stop fighting."

I acted to flinch at his words and looked down. Both of them were shocked to see my reaction. Potter shuttered, "I-I a-am sorry. You c-can shout all y-you want."

I didn't say anything. After some time, I murmured, "Will you two listen to me?"

Immediately, Potter said, "Yes-yes, we would listen to you." Weasel also nodded his head.

I said, "Really?" they once again nodded their heads, "I want you to put the bat wings first and then, put the frog eyes into the cauldron."

They exactly did what I instructed them to do. I continued instructing them. I said, "Now, put those pigeon eggs into it and then stir it until, the solution turns pink." After five minutes of continuous stirring, the solution turned pink.

I yelled, "Professor! Look I... er, we have done it. The solution has turned pink."

Professor Snape hissed, "Quiet down! Amaira... I don't think you are a dunderhead like those two beside you." I laughed at his words. When I found Weasel and Potter looking at me, I quickly stopped laughing.

Standing in front of us, he looked at the cauldron and examined the potion. I asked, "Is it correct?"

He nodded and said, "It is. Excellent work! I can't believe you made the potion right with those two idiots hindering you. Seven points to Slytherin." With that, he went away to check other students work.

Weasel sneered, "Snape is always biased. Giving points to only his house. We are the ones, who did all the work."

I rebutted, "Isn't this what McGonagall does too? She is also biased. Yes, she doesn't give free points to your house, but she shows favouritism in all other aspects."

Potter glared at me. I almost glared at him and blown up my cover. Like before, I looked down and created some distance between us. He looked shocked at what I did just now. He sighed and didn't say anything. I focused back on Weasley. He also looked shocked. I yelled, "What? Why are you looking so shocked? Just go and bring the ingredients for the next potion."

"But—"

"Just go!!" Seeing me shouting at him, Weasel rushed to the item selves. It's too taxing to work on these two at the same time. I have to plan a way to raise my affection points by attacking on the separately, so I can work on them in a more effective way.
