"And the ingredients all mix together to produce", Snape goes on. I already know every single thing that is being taught to me, so instead of paying attention to Snape I look at a girl. Not just any girl. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Y/n L/n has caught my eye. She's a Gryffindor and I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I can't get her off my mind.
"Psst Mattheo", Theo whispers pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Yes?", I say putting my chin on my hand.
"Stop staring at L/n and get focused you're helping me with the homework"
"Shut the fuck up or I'm not helping you with work for the rest of the year"
Theo smiles as he fiddles with his wand while Snape continues talking in his monotone voice.
"And your homework tonight is...."
Why is she so beautiful?
"Hey!", Theo snaps in front of my face as class ends. "Time to get this done for me yeah?", he says giving me his homework. I grumble as I get up and leave the room. I left at exactly the right time which left me behind Y/n and her group of friends."Hey Y/n", one of them says, "Why aren't you dating anyone? You could probably get anyone in the school"
"Haha you're funny", she says sarcastically.
She doesn't even know how beautiful she is.
I quicken my pace slightly, trying to catch up to Y/n without drawing too much attention. As I get closer, I can hear snippets of her conversation with her friends.
"So, are you going to the Quidditch match this weekend?" one of her friends asks.
"Yeah, I wouldn't miss it," Y/n replies with a smile. "Gryffindor's going to win for sure."
I can't help but smirk at her confidence. Just as I'm about to muster up the courage to say something, Theo nudges me hard in the ribs.
"Oi, Mattheo, focus! We need to get this homework done," he hisses.
I sigh, torn between my desire to talk to Y/n and my obligation to help Theo. Reluctantly, I follow Theo to the library, as we have a free period, but my mind is still on Y/n. We find a quiet corner and spread out our books and parchment.
"Alright, let's get this over with," I say, trying to push thoughts of Y/n aside.
We work in silence for a while, but my concentration keeps slipping. Every time I try to focus on the potion ingredients, I see Y/n's smile in my mind. Finally, I can't take it anymore.
I decide to keep my thoughts to myself. Theo doesn't need to know about my distraction. I just need to get through this homework and figure things out on my own.
As I walk out of the library I'm clearly not paying attention because I run into someone. I huff ready to make a snarky comment to someone when I realize the person I ran into was Y/n.
"Sorry", she practically whispers quickly getting up and grabbing all the textbooks she dropped.
"Here let me help", I say grabbing the last one for her and handing it to her.
"My names Mattheo by the way", I say trying to make conversation.
"I know", she says her eyes narrowing.
"Well since I made you drop your books can I walk you to your next class?", I say feeling bold.
"Actually, I'm just heading back to the common room, but I'll see you around.", and with that she walks away.
As I watch her walk away I can't help but have a sense of accomplishment. Maybe just maybe that was the start of something more.
