It was the middle of November. Rain was pouring outside. I had a few free hours before Potions, so I sat at the windowsill with a hot cup of tea, "After Hours" playing in the background. This atmosphere calmed me down. Everything was good, Uncle Elijah had killed Dahlia Hagen, and I enjoy spending my free time with our friend group, Mattheo and I became best friends after my nightmare. Those few hours flew by like a few winks and Mathias came to tell me that we need to hurry up already.

I and my cousin ran through the hallways to our class because we were a little bit late. Only two seats were not occupied, Mathias took the one in the middle of the classroom near a random girl, so I sat down in the back with Mattheo.

"Welcome students, without wasting any more time, let's get started. Perhaps, someone could tell me what potions in these three cauldrons might be?" Professor Horace Slughorn asked us while scanning our faces for any indications, Celeste raised her hand, and Slughorn went on with "Yes, Miss...", "Salvatore, Sir", "Come to the front, Miss Salvatore". Our friend carefully observed the concoctions and cleared her throat "The first one is the Veritaserum also known as a truth-telling serum. The other one is the Polyjuice Potion, which is very tricky to mix. The last one is Amortentia, the most powerful and dangerous love potion in the world, it could smell differently to each individual based on what attracts them the most and could cause obsession", "Amazing, Miss Salvatore, you can sit down. She explained everything in detail. For demonstration, there is a little vial of Amortentia on each table, try to smell it, but your real task for today is to brew a presentable Draught of Living Death. A person who will do this right and on time can get this little bottle of Felix Felicis also called..." The professor once again scanned the room "Liquid Luck," Celeste Salvatore chimed in "Yes, these few drops can provide success for some time. Recipe for Draught of Living Death can be found on page 10 in your books, good luck to you all".

"So, who smells Amortentia first?" my best friend questioned "I believe we should start making Draught of Living Death, Mattheo", "That is our task too, I can try it first," he coughed and resumed "Sorry, very strong scent. Okay, I think Baby's-breath or whatever those little flowers are, beach and a hint of coconut," I widened my eyes at one point "Your turn, Y/n Hope Mikaelson". I took a quick sniff "I do not smell anything", "That is impossible, sweetheart, tell me," Mattheo said smiling "Leave it, I just must be not attracted to anyone". This sounded very unconvincing because mine scented like cigarettes, old books, and peppermint, just like him...

I finished brewing my potion, got Felix Felicis "Thank You so much, Sir", cleaned my workplace, and quickly scurried out of the classroom. Once I was back in my room, I spotted a little note on my bed:

_________________________________

Y/n Hope Mikaelson,
I missed you so fucking much, darling, no longer! Meet me at Hogsmeade at 5 pm.

Your dearest friend <3

_________________________________

I stood in the middle of the main street in a little Hogsmeade village, and suddenly somebody wrapped their hands around me from my back. I turned around, screamed in excitement, and hugged him back "Kai!", "Hello, Princess, how are you doing?", "Great, now that you are here. What about you, Parker?" I inquired of him while chuckling. "Ouch... Parker? Do better next time. I am doing well myself", "Sorry about that, handsome". "Now, that is what I am talking about," with this sentence, we burst out laughing.

Kai and I were wandering around the town, I told him about my day at Hogwarts, and what I heard him say about the Potions situation shocked me "Personally, I think you should tell Mattheo", "Good evening, Earth to Kai Parker? I can not believe you just said that". But really, should I?

It got very cold outside, so we went to the Three Broomsticks and ordered two glasses of Butterbeer, I even secretly bought a few cupcakes "Omg, yum cupcakes", "Child" I playfully rolled my eyes "Excuse you", "Apologies accepted," we smiled to each other. We kept sitting in the restaurant and talked for hours. God, no one could understand how important and dear Kai Parker is to me.

What a wonderful night, but it was time to say our goodbyes. I wish we would have had more time, there is so much we have not discussed yet. My friend and I strongly hugged each other and had not let go for a few minutes "I miss you already," I spoke up with teary eyes "Me too, darling. Promise me to visit Mystic Falls during your break," I sighed and promised him. "Wait, Kai, I bought this ring for you the first time I went to Hogsmeade. It will not let you forget about me", "Thank you, my dearest Y/n Hope. I love you, take care," I answered with "Love you more".

11 pm, Slytherin's common room should be empty. "Where have you been all this time, hm?" I furrowed my brows when I could not understand where Mattheo's voice came from. I spotted him sitting down on the floor near a couch. I sighed and started "Went to meet my friend from Mystic Falls," then Mattheo questioned, "What friend?" I came to a halt when I saw how sad he looked "Kai Parker. Hey, what is wrong, Mattheo? You seem so upset".

With that, he passionately kissed me. "Why are you lying to me, Y/n? I wish I could hear the truth from your sweet lips", "What are we talking about, exactly?" I scanned his face and deep brown eyes that you could easily get lost in. "Amortentia, of course," I took a deep breath trying to calm my nerves down "Do not fear, tell me", "Cigarettes," Mattheo kissed me again "Old books," and again "And peppermint," once again, each time deepening the kiss more and more. "Was not that hard, yeah?", "Mhm," I murmured. I laid my head on Mattheo's chest and listened to his heartbeat for some time. "Be my girlfriend, Y/n Hope Mikaelson," I widened my eyes in surprise "You are the best thing that happened in my miserable life and you make me feel so much better", "I will be your girlfriend, Mattheo, Riddle," We kissed with so much passion.
