Thanks Kenzie for the idea, sorry I didn't text u back, to busy thinking abt finnick✌🏻


Snape rounded the tables in the potions classroom, terrifying the students. Y/n mixed her potion consistently as he passed her next. The kids at her tabled quieted down immediately watching the professor look over her shoulder.
"What ingredients did you use Black?" he spoke menacingly. Y/n rambled off the items quickly and showed him the remaining bits of each. "And has your potion turned the right shade of pink?" "Yes sir it has." She shut her eyes tightly, hoping to ace the assignment of creating amortentia. But she definitely did not miss the slight chuckle from Mattheo. As Snape congratulated me on my done well done, I held my chin high and looked at Mattheo, smirking.

He winked at me, butterflies erupt inside of me. This small action made me happier than acing any of my assignments. "Only joking darling, I always knew you would do excellent" I laughed at his remark, "And why is that Riddle?" "Well because I taught you, of course" Now I was laughing, not the tight lipped giggle like I was used to. No, a real laugh, he hadn't taught me much. I walked closer to his with my supplies and looked down at his potion before I made made eye contact with him again. "Then why is the master of amortentias potion turning green?" I asked him innocently. Blush crept up on his cheeks as I pointed at the potion, "Oh um, yeah hold up." I laughed and walked back to my seat and sat down. Pansy walked over to my part of the table table and quirked her eyebrow. "What?" I asked cluelessly. "So you and lover boy huh? Did you smell your potion? I bet it smells like him" Here we go.

Sure I was in love with Mattheo, and sure I had been obsessing over him since third year! It doesn't matter cause he doesn't like me back. He trusts me enough as his best friend and I wouldn't jeopardize that, I'd rather have him as a friend than not have him at all. "I did not smell it yet I will have you know" I said pointing at her face, smiling. "And no, no me and 'lover boy' "
"Sad, sad, sad,sad. You are sad y/n! You really won't ask him?" I scoffed, we had been over this a million times. "Will you lower your voice please! Bloody hell the people in Hogs-mead can hear you like that!" I whisper shouted at her. "Oh shut up!" She yells at me, this time loud enough for people to turn their heads in our direction. "Girls?" Snape questions. "Is there a problem?" "Uh no sir we are all good!" I quickly spit out, not trying to get in trouble.  Snape walks to the front of the class and explains why we created this potion and instructed us to smell it.

I dip my head down towards the cauldron and sigh.  I take a deep breath, almost afraid of what I might smell. I sniff and the calming scent of cigarettes and and hint of men's cologne and mint fill my nose. Mattheo. I knew it. I smile to myself when I think of him. But did he smell my perfume? Thoughts rack my brain and I can't tell whether I want to believe them or not. I sneakily look up to Mattheo who looks more determined than i've ever seen him before, like he's trying to keep a secret but is failing miserably. Before class ends Snape gives us our scores then we head out and on our own ways.

Im sitting on my bed, freshly showered wearing spandex shorts and a tiny t shirt and smelling like my usual sweet vanilla scent when I hear a knock on my door. I look up from my phone and slip out of bed. I throw on my navy blue jacket I have hanging over the chair realizing how chilly it is. When I open the door to my personal dorm i'm not surprised to see Mattheo standing there. I offer him a smile and he hugs me. I get picked up and thrown over his shoulder as he closes my door and then tosses me on my bed. I giggle and he smiles and slides into bed. "What can I hell you with tonight Mr. Riddle?" I say, offering him a teasing smile. "Oh nothing, just if you wanna sort out my family issues" He adds with dramatic effect. I know he isn't being serious, he doesn't see his father and he finds it better this way. I have noticed a huge positive change in his personality ever since he has been staying at Hogwarts more often, and as long as he is happy I am happy. I laugh and give a suggestion. "Yeah well I am no therapist so I might have to skip out in that adventure Theo" He laughs but goes back to his normal resting face, immediately humbling mine into a calm and simple smile. "I actually wanted to ask you something" he says. "Whats up?" I question. My hearts starts beating faster at the thought of what he could possibly ask me. Is it the potion? Or did I do something wrong? He laughs and hold his hand out to mine and kisses it. "Relax y/n, Jesus I can practically hear your heart beat." Okay, calm down your fine, I repeated to myself. " So whats your question?" He looked down and seemed to be readying himself, fighting some battle with words deep down. "What did you smell today?" I looked at him, cockeyed. "Huh?" He rolled his eyes, becoming eager. "Don't play dumb darling. What did you smell in that potion?" I thought about lying, he might be able to tell but I think its the best option. "It was smokey, like fire wood burning. And there was a little mint" Alright, don't breathe to deep, don't keep eye contact for to long, it's not in character for you y/n. "Do you take me for a fool y/n? Here let me enlighten you, I smelt you. I smelt your rose petal shampoo and your sweet vanilla perfume. I smelt the lavender scented candle you burn every night to help you sleep, and I smelt your favourite chocolate chip cookies that your mom sends you every year on your birthday." I sucked in a breath. "you"  I whispered, I doubted he could hear me but I was too scared to say it again. "The truth is y/n, i'm in love with you an-, wait what" He looked me dead in the eyes, he out is index and middle finger under my chin ensuring I didn't look away. "What did you say Y/n?" He questioned himself not believing what I said was true, or if what he heard was even right. "You." I stated once I gathered up the courage.

He looked so happy, like he might explode if I touched him. A wide toothy grin spread across his face and he kissed me. It was like he was starved of touch, a broken man who had just been out back together. I didn't hesitate to kiss him back. I smiled into the kiss and whispered a soft I love you. I swear the world melted in my hands, I never knew I could make someone so happy. "I have loved you for years y/n, I never stopped. I will love you forever" He huffed out like he had been waiting forever to say those words, to truly admit his feelings. "Swear it" I said as I deepened the kiss, finally gaining confidence. "I swear Y/n. Please I swear"
