Catch us in the mirror and it looks a lot like love
(Snowbaz Hogwarts AU; 4th year)
Baz's ill-advised revenge plan goes awry and Simon ends up consuming a love potion meant for Agatha. Baz and Penny band together to get Simon through it. Baz struggles not to reveal his true feelings for Simon while a parody of reciprocation is (sometimes literally) sitting in his lap.
The box is small, the chocolates expensive, and the love potion ridiculously easy to conceal inside them.
It’s not my most brilliant plan. It’s disgustingly obvious, to be honest. But the idea of making Snow feel, even just for a day, an ounce of what he’s putting me through—it’s too good an opportunity to miss.
He’s been dating Agatha Wellbelove since the beginning of the year, but he had a crush on her long before that, after she saved him from a hippogriff last year. (Wellbelove is the top of the class in Care of Magickal Creatures, but I don’t mind it.) Snow’s crush made him even stupider than normal and it used to make me so angry—we had more fights last year than the previous two years combined. It took me until I saw Wellbelove kiss him on the cheek on the train platform at the end of the year to figure out why.
Because I wanted to kiss his cheek. (Because she didn’t touch any of his moles, and I wanted to kiss each one.)
It’s just my luck to have a crush on someone who actually hates me and has done since first year. I don’t know what that says about me except that when I first antagonized him, I don’t think it was out of dislike.
I think that realization made me hate him more. Even if I know I don’t hate him at all.
