My submission for the Sterek Secret Santa 2015 Gift Exchange, with the prompt of Harry Potter AU, with Slytherin!Stiles and Gryffindor!Derek.
Excerpt:
The Potions room was dark and abandoned at this hour of the night, a single ball of lumos floating overhead to light Derek’s workstation. Derek concentrated intently, muttering the list of complex steps to himself. This was the most dangerous part of the process, one wrong move and —
“Oh, hey! It’s you!”
The bright voice startled Derek, making him fumble the vial of powdered wolfsbane in his hand. He dropped the vial, caught it in midair, and then watched in horror as the resulting jolt sent a puff of pale purple dust into the air.
“Hey, Derek! What are you doing here so late? I thought everyone was gone —”
Stiles was babbling on, apparently oblivious to the calamity he had caused, as Derek carefully stoppered the vial with a cork and pulled off the leather gloves he had been wearing. He wasn’t sure exactly what was going to happen, but it wasn’t going to be good.
