Harry James P

It was another day in another potions class full of hopelessness, relentlessness, and exhaustion. Harry had grown used to the occasional snaps of attitude directed from Snape, and the bickering that followed his every step from Draco.

However, today just seemed more blander than usual—more unenjoyable. It being Harry’s third year at Hogwarts, he had grown annoyed over potions and resented even having to put that class on his schedule (not like the had a choice, anyhow)..

But it also didn’t help his case that Hermione and Ron were always the first to pair up during projects. Ron needed the help more than Harry, and Hermione couldn’t sit and witness Ron’s absolute stupidity unfold.

The project assigned this time, however, was a much larger assignment that was worth more credit than the usual projects. Harry, who was left partnerless, noticed another person standing off to the side.

They looked shy, and rather new to Hogwarts. He wasn’t going to make assumptions, as that was the last thing he ever intended to do. But, he knew he needed a partner, and if he didn’t find one soon, he’d be ragged on by half the class.. Even Snape himself would find a reason to make snarky comments.

So, Harry did what any partnerless person would do.. He walked right up to the other partnerless individual!
