After Harry Potter bets Y/n she couldn't get Mattheo Riddle to ask her out she gets partnered with him in potions.

Word Count: 2773

"Okay no"

"What do you mean no?"

"I mean no you're not going to be able to do it"

"It was a bet and I don't loose bets"

"Well you're going to loose this one"

I glance over to the Slytherin table and see Riddle sitting there with his little friend group. Shit. I should've never bet Potter that I could get him to go out with me. I'm a Ravenclaw so I'm better off than I would be if I was a Gryffindor. But still, I don't know how I'm going to get him to like me. And if I don't. I don't even want to think about what I have to do.

So, I trudge along to potions thinking about how screwed I am when my best friend Samantha brings it up again.

"Y/n seriously you need to figure out how you want to do this"

"I thought you said I didn't have a chance"

"Well, some of the hufflepuffs told me we're doing a project in potions that requires a partner..."

"And what makes you think he would want to partner up with me"

"It was just a suggestion", she shrugs and holds the door for me to the potions room.

I find my seat right in the middle of the room and I can hear the Slytherin boys laughing behind me. I turn around and glare at them.

"Man what's her problem", I hear Draco say. Honestly my least favorite out of the bunch.

"I don't know mate", I hear another one say.

Suddenly, Snape starts the lesson and they go quiet.

He goes on to tell us we're going to be brewing some potion. Obviously I'm not paying much attention. And how partners will be randomly selected.

Samantha nudged my side as he said this and I gave her an agitated look.

Snape puts all of our names in a cauldron and with his wand pulls two names out at a time.

"Padma Patil and Draco Malfoy"

I can hear Draco groan from behind me.

"Lisa Turpin and Lorenzo Berkshire"

"Samantha Swanson and Pansy Parkinson"

I hear Samantha let out a fast breath next to me and it takes everything in me not to laugh.

"Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle"

This time everyone in the room starts to laugh.

"Theodore Nott and Blaise Zabini"

I hear cheering from behind me. I look back and see Nott and Zabini dancing.

"Sit down you fools", Snape gains their attention again. Snape says more names and neither I or Riddle have been picked yet.

"And the last two Mattheo Riddle and
Y/n L/n"

"How lucky is that?", Samantha whispers in my ear.

"Everyone get a cauldron and your partner and get started", Snape says and everyone stands.

"Wish me luck", Samantha grumbles as she walks over to Pansy.

I stand up and look through the crowd trying to find Riddle, when someone taps my shoulder. I jump and turn around.
