Backstory: You and Mattheo weren't exactly ememies since you were both in the same Slytherin friend group, but he liked to tease you.

Me and my friend were just talking when fucking mattheo riddle walked in the room, he had a cigarette in his mouth, he was trying to fix his messed up tie, which figures considering he was almost 10 minutes late to the lesson. He must had noticed Professor Slughorn staring at him with his eyebrows raised. "Sorry, sir." He mumbled, putting his cigar in his pocket, probably saving it for later.
Mattheo stood behind me before whispering a little to loudly.
"Gosh Y/n, how much perfume did you fucking spray this morning?" He scoffs.
A few students chuckle, including slughorn.
"I didn't spray any." I say.
"Ahem." Slughorn cleared his throat.
"As I was saying, Amortentia is the most powerful love potion in the world."
I turn to face Mattheo who's jaw is dropped, he starts to sliently curse himself. He turns a deep shade of red.
I chuckle.
"Would anyone tell me what exactly Amortentia is? And why it's so dangerous?" Slughorn questions.
Herimone Grangers hand shots up in a flash
"Well sir..." She starts.
"It has to be rumored to smell different to each person, it just depends of what they are attracted to..for example..I smell, freshly mowed grass, parchment paper, and spearmint toothpaste." She says in a soft tone.
"I think we all know what attracts Mr riddle." Slughorn jokes.
Clearly, Mattheo did not find his little comment funny, because he had stormed out of class, slamming the door behind him.
Slughorn sighed.
"Y/n..if you'll be so kind." He said, motioning to the door.
I nod before walking out. I was upset because i was missing such an interesting lesson, but also because I had to chase after Mattheo after his little outburst. Why? Why did Matthoe like me? Sure we were in the same friend group, but he always found a way to tease me. Me and him were complete opposites.

I sighed before knocking on the boys bathroom door.i suspected he was in there because he has been caught multiple times skipping lessons in the bathroom. I open the door, I looked down at my shoes just in case there was actually someone just trying to use the loo, which was rare since teachers didn't really let anyone out of class, they could only use the bathroom during breaks. Plus potions is the only class located in the dungeons.
"Mattheo?" I call out. I wait 5 long seconds before he finally answers.
"What?" He growls.
"Im coming in." I warn before walking into this massive bathroom.
I scan the room before laying eyes onto Mattheo. He's to my left side, sitting down against a hard brick wall, smoking a cigarette. (Probably the same one he stuffed into his pocket earlier.) He's also writing in a black journal.
I slowly approach him. I sit down next to him, hugging my knees. He closes his journal.
"Uh, just so you know..Slughorns looking for you." I say fidgeting with my fingers, why was I so nervous around him?
"I don't care about that jerk." He replies back.
"Mathheo?" I question. He doesn't say anything back, he just looks at me. My hearts pounding, I've never been this close to him before.
"Why do you hate me?" I ask slowly.
"I don't hate you, I just love you because I hate you."
Gosh. I feel my cheeks turn red. What did that even mean? He loves me because he hated me?
I had no idea of what to say to him.
"Now tell me, what did you smell in the Amortentia?" He asks me softly.
"I think..I think I smelt you.." I say in a hushed voice.
He smiles softly. His smile could honestly light up a whole room.
He slowly turns to face me. I look at his face, observing every small detail on his smooth face, I can tell behind all the scars thar he's just a boy who's misunderstood and craves attention and love.
He pulls me in slowly by the neck and kisses me.
