Anyway prohibitedwish dark medieval mystery drama au. The story is interjected every so often by prismo and scarab arguing over what should happen next
#random thoughts#adventure time#over time scarab learns to accept when things dont go his way (especially when prismo has a very good idea)#and prismo gets help working through his depression through the beauty of creating with another person (euphamism for gay sex lol)#hey prismo why do you want to collab with scarab hmm? to create life with another man? pretty gay it does seem#anyway in the beginning they argue because scarab wants stuff to go his way#and prismo keeps bringing up bad ideas and wanting to put jake-esque characters in everything#prismo is. not very creative#anyway their universe ends up following a sheriff and a self-declared wizard in the late-12th century (so around robin hood times)#as the sheriff hunts down a group of bandits#(prismo ends up really liking the bandits and thinking the sheriff sucks balls for hunting them down and scarab's like you just dont get it)#the self-declared wizard is very much a conman hawking snake oil (i do NOT sound like that is. very commonly interjected by prismo)#there is no magic. prismo keeps trying to put magic in there. scarab keeps shutting him down#scarab ends up trying to kill off the wizard for a dramatic moment and prismo gets upset about it#'it's a tragedy! it's supposed to be sad!' 'but WHAT IS THE POINT??? it's just tragedy for the sake of tragedy!'#'if your plan this whole time was to make me upset then congrats!!! you made everyone's friend prismo upset. im gonna do something else now'#prismo disappears and scarab feels. bad. it doesn't feel good.#eventually prismo comes back in to apologize for getting too into the story and leaving in a huff and shit and surprise!!!#the wizard is still alive! scarab LISTENED and he CONCEDED and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT BABEY!!!#now the ending of the story they were trying to tell is more bittersweet instead of a full-on 'everyone's dead or sad' thing#btw the sheriff and the wizard end up kissing and prismo and scarab are both VERY awkward about it#scarab still likes dark edgy stuff but he recognizes the universe he created with prismo is a SHARED project and he's been kind of a pill

3rd Person POV
Day 3:
After the Pansy incident, Draco offered to help Y/n study for the potions quiz, which she gratefully accepted. He walked her to the library, carrying all of her books even when she refused his assistance. However, Draco kept stubbornly arguing with her until she finally gave in. So here she was, walking alongside the platinum-blonde male. When they finally arrived at the library, Draco chose a table for the two to sit at. He placed the books down and pulled out a chair for Y/n like a gentleman. She rolled her eyes a bit at the gesture but thankfully took the seat anyway. Draco then walked to the other side of the table and seated himself. He opened one of her ridiculously large textbooks and flipped to a random page.
"Y/n? What would you get if you added Powdered Root of Asphodel to an infusion of Wormwood?" Draco quizzed.
Y/n racked her brain desperately for the answer. Unfortunately, she couldn’t think of it. She groaned in frustration, the answer was just on the tip of her tongue.
"Draught of Peace?" She guessed as she gave up.
"You would get a Draught of Living Death." Draco corrected. "What about this? Where would you look if I told you to find me a Bezoar?"
Again, Y/n struggled to come up with the answer. She faintly recalled Snape teaching them this but she still couldn’t place her finger on it. "The Forbidden Forest?" She guessed in defeat.
"A Bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat." Draco explained. "It can save people from most deadly poisons."
Y/n sighed deeply. She lowered her head into her hands, feeling the stress overcome her. There was almost no doubt about it, she was going to fail this quiz. Draco gently lifted her head by her chin and pulled her into a loving hug. He didn’t say anything, he just held her in her arms, occasionally stroking her head in a soothing manner until she felt the stress fade away.
Why am I feeling like this around him? Draco had this odd calming effect on Y/n that she simply couldn’t understand. The feeling of his warm arms around her made her feel safe and serene. She didn’t know if she liked this feeling or not. Once her breathing had slowed down and Draco felt she was better, he released her.
"Don’t beat yourself up over this stuff, Love. Let’s try brewing potions, okay? It’ll be on the quiz and will help you remember the answers for the questions." Draco suggested. Y/n nodded in agreement, desperate to do anything that would help her pass this test. Draco then cleared the desk, lightly pushing her books to the edge of the table and placed a small cauldron on the wooden surface. He then lined a bunch of ingredients on the table ranging from a unicorn’s horn to moonstone powder. "Let’s begin with something simple, alright? Brew a Boils Cure for me."
Y/n nodded and began the process of making the potion. She mindlessly added various ingredients, still mulling over the fact that she couldn’t answer Draco’s simple questions. Caught up in her thoughts, she almost added an ingredient that would certainly cause her doom. Before she could drop it in the brew, she felt Draco’s hand grab hers and tug it away from the cauldron. Confused, she looked up at him to see slight panic in his eyes.
"Don’t put those in yet. You have to take the potion off the flame first before you add porcupine quills or else you’ll get boils. Remember Longbottom? The bloody idiot made that mistake and ended up with boils all over his skin." Draco reminded her.
Y/n was upset with herself for almost making such a simple mistake. This was something they learned in first year, how could she have forgotten so easily?! In her frustration, it sounded more like Draco was mocking her for the mistake rather than being worried for her.
"And why would you care?" She spat angrily.
Draco looked surprised and a bit hurt before understanding flashed in his eyes as he realized she was lashing at him out of anger. "I care because I don’t want your beautiful skin to be covered in those ugly boils." He pressed a soft kiss against her cheek.
Once again, Y/n could feel the odd calming effect Draco had on her. What was happening to her? What was this weird feeling? Why was Draco Malfoy of all people giving her this feeling? Surely, she couldn’t be falling for him. No, she would never let herself stoop down to such levels. The real Malfoy wouldn’t give a damn if she was stressed or not, in fact, he would probably laugh at her instead or tease her about it like the prat he is. He was only acting like he cared because of this stupid love potion. Y/n was convinced that she did not love Draco Malfoy and that these weird feelings would disappear once he returned to normal. She was seriously beginning to regret her life choices and accepting this ridiculous dare. This love potion was messing up her life and how she viewed Draco Malfoy. It tricked her into seeing a kinder, more caring side of Draco that would never exist if he was himself. She ignored the feeling and snapped back to reality as Draco removed his lips from her cheek.
"I love you and I would hate to see you in pain because of those boils." Draco said softly. Y/n smiled up at him and pecked him on the cheek.
"Thank you for caring, Draco."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After their moment had passed, Draco continued to assist Y/n with her studying. After brewing a successful Boils Cure, Draco decided to try and help Y/n brew something a little more advanced; a Draught of Living Death. He stood behind her and held her hands, guiding her through the steps to brew the sleeping draught. He held her hands when cutting the Sopophorous bean and still held them when stirring the potion. Once the potion was completed, Draco dropped a small leaf into the liquid. It floated on the surface for a second before disintegrating completely.
"Perfect. Just like that, you and I have brewed a deadly concoction of a Draught of Living Death." Draco beamed with pride. Y/n smiled back at him, glad that she was finally able to brew such a difficult potion. Draco then cleaned up the cauldron and set it on the floor. He proceeded to return the books onto the table and once again flipped to a random page, quizzing her with questions.
Hours of studying later, Y/n finally felt as though she actually had a decent chance at this test. She was able to answer all of Draco’s questions correctly, not even faltering for a second. She could brew almost any potion he asked for and she could correctly name the ingredients and steps used.
"Name some ingredients used for Polyjuice Potion." Draco said.
"Lacewing flies, Leeches, Powdered Bicorn Horn, Knotgrass, Fluxweed, Shredded Boomslang Skin, and a bit of the person one wants to turn into." Y/n answered immediately.
Draco nodded in approval before asking her the final question. "What potion uses armadillo bile, scarab beetles and ginger root?"
"A wit-sharpening potion." Y/n answered. Draco closed the book with a smile directed at her.
"I think you’ll do just fine on this test."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Morning of the 4th Day:
Y/n walked out of Potions with a large smile on her face. She spotted Draco out of the corner of her eye and rushed to him, tackling him in a tight hug. Out of her excitement, she pressed a kiss against his cheek. She didn’t notice the amount of people staring at her, all she could feel was extreme happiness. Once she had come back to her senses, she realized the situation and the awkward position that Draco and her were in. She slowly released Draco and removed her lips from his pale cheek, which had flushed a bright red color.
"What was that for?" Draco chuckled.
Y/n took out a paper from her bag, it was her test. On the front of it, Snape had written a giant ‘O’ for ‘Outstanding’. She had passed the test with flying colors!
"I just wanted to thank you for helping me. Without you, I probably would’ve gotten a ‘Troll’ or something." Y/n said nervously.
Draco smiled and leaned in close to her. He pressed a chaste kiss against her cheek and grinned when he noticed how red her face turned.
"Anything for you, princess."
