Narcissa sat delicately on her stool in the dungeons, half-watching her potion simmer in the cauldron beside her, half giving the fingernail on her left index finger her attention, which it was in dire need of.
Narcissa, just like many Blacks, was a natural at Potions.
She could sit, every inch the proper young lady she was, and half watch her potion, looking nothing short of her normal impeccable appearance, possibly accentuated by the fine haze of purple steam her potion was emitting, and still pass every single potions class.

'Great,' I thought, 'Other "Proper Pure-Blood" What is it with these people? Appearance and attitude run their life, not to metion how high up they are on the economical / political status. Come to think of it, my father would kill for me to be just like some of the 'Pure-Blood' girls like her. It makes me sick, but I am slowly falling back into it unforunately.' I added some more ingrediants to my potion. 'Your not the only natural in this class.'

Narcissa watched the girl on the bench next to her.
The girls brow was slightly furrowed, as if concentrating.
But Cissy knew she wasn't.
This girl was talented, she'd noticed it over many lessons.
No, her brow was furrowed for some other reason.
Not that Cissy cared at all why.
Narcissa returned her attention to the potion in front of her, it didn't need anything yet, just right for the moment.

I sneak into the class room late, and set up my couldron. With in the 1st few minutes something was already long. "Looks like another soon to be melting couldron to me." I mumble to myself.

You should be more careful then. Narcissa thought to herself, watching the girl.
She'd already gone wrong.
And she was late.
It was beyond Narcissa how anyone could behave that way.

Maybe I should start again? "Thats what I'll do!" I say outloud. I vanish the contents of my couldron and start again. I open my book and read through the directions very very carefully. This doesn't seem so hard.

She jumped, the silence disturbed by the girl on her other side declaring something out loud.
Cissy shot her a look, which went unnoticed, then stood up, her potion ready to be added to.

I turn to the girl, and say, "You know. Not everyone is a perfect at potions as you are. Plus I can talk unlike you."

"I am perfectly capable of speaking." Narcissa said, taking an instant dislike to the girl, but keeping her voice polite.
Her temper wasn't quite as quick to flare as her sisters.
"And I did not imply at all that I am perfect at potions." She added.

"The queen has spoken." I say jokingly. "Indeed you did imply that you were perfect. Its the look on your face." I say.

Narcissa allowed herself a wry smile, smoothing our a crease in her skirt. "I am far from perfect and no one is more aware of that than myself. Potions is one of the few things I am semi-capable of, that is all."

"A proper perfect person." I say. I just made a tounge twister! I turn back to my couldron and see that its not there any more. Instead there was a big pile of goopy stuff on the stones. "Oops." I say.

"Would you like some assitance?" Narcissa asked after a moment of contemplation.

"Very well." Narcissa sat back down. "If you're not bothered, then neither am I. Good luck, -...well, I don't know your name. But good luck."

"Cassie, how can you be failing this class," I stated, "It is so easy. If you ask me, Advance Potions doesn't even compare to this and you're in Advance Potions."

"Well its not easy for me. I'm the spell kind of person. Plus I don't plan to do anything after school that requires potions, so I don't try that much." I say.

"Be that as it may, you need to know how to make them correctly if your in trouble," I replied, "What the hell do you want to be anyways?"

I think for a moment, and say, "You've got a point there. I'm pretty sure I'm moving to Australia. There I'll become a pysicoligest or play profesional quidditch for the Woollongong Warriors."

"I want to be a Potion Mistress for the Ministry," I stated. Cass rolled her eyes and gave me a weird look. "Oh, like you already knew that one," I said with a grin.

"Because that jobs deals with Dark and Regular Potions," I said, "And you know how much I am interested in Dark Potions and Dark Arts. It is my calling."

"Geez thanks," I replied turning back to my potion and bottling it up. I got up and set it on Slughorn's desk. I returned to my seat and started to clean up. "Do you need any help finishing your potion because you just added to much crush dungbeatle to your potion and if you don't watch it, it will blow up in your face, Cass."

"Dung beatle? Thats what I just but in? Yeah I think I need some help." I say.

I grinned and grabbed some mandrake root. I slowly added it, while stirring counter-clock wise. "You should really pay attention more to what you are doing," I said.
