CHAPTER 36- Love Potion

POV OF FEYRE AZURA

Morpheus settles opposite me while Julius sits opposite Riddle. I stiffen when Julius's face scrunches in annoyance of my presence.

I should have picked a better day to do potions

First I am stranded in a classroom not allowed to leave for the next 2 hours. Second, we are brewing Amortentia. That speaks for itself. Third and lastly, I am seated in a group of killers who will not hesitate me to kill me any second.

"Why is she here?" Julius asked Riddle, regarding me as the worst being on earth. "Your friend sat next to me" I said softly, closing my book earning a chuckle from Morpheus.

"I wasn't talking to you, Mud blood" Julius seethes with his teeth as if he's about to burst any second. Riddle's hand that was once resting on my waist tightens to the point I whimper.

"Julius," Riddle starts. "Let's not confuse her status." He affirms, "Azura is a high ranking Pureblood" He says knowing that my family only earned that title by serving the dark lord with their mightiest loyalty. Riddle comes close to my ear and I close my eyes holding my breath wishing for everything to end. "Or perhaps... something more."

This is the point I start to shake in pure terror that I have been exposed to. I am going to die in this very classroom and I hate that the last thing I am learning in this damn school before I die by the hands of the soon to be lord of destruction is a love potion.

His eyes are on Morpheus, smirking at him as if they are talking with their minds. Morpheus grins, taking out his book and placing it on the table. "But" Riddle's hand goes up and down my waist as if he's silently soothing me. Like a tiger looking at its prey calmly before it attacks. "I have to be wrong" His left hand twirls a strand of my hair softly, "Aren't I?" He tilts his head waiting for an answer.

"Yes" I choke. ''Say it" He seethes into my ear wanting to boldly confess to a lie. "Now" His eyes darken, which makes him even more horrifying. "I am just a pureblood'' I breathe in, my voice sounding very weak. "Good girl" He whispers, and my stomach starts to twist and not in a bad way, in a sort of pleasant way? I can't wrap my head around this feeling.

Julius and Riddle chuckle together and Riddle releases me from his tightening grip. This is where I can finally breathe. My eyes darted around to see all the students had started except us. As we are more in the secluded corner students can't really see us. Moreover they are too busy working for the two weeks off from snape.

Riddle's chair screeches and the air between us remains uncharged—thick with tension and something darkly possessive in his gaze. He stands up satisfied, 'this should be easy' Julius says bored, mocking how all the other students are thrashing to finish their Potions. "Let's begin." Riddle says Julius and Morpheus stand up. I grab my open book and read the instructions. It is very handy that I have a photogenic memory. Once satisfied, I stand up. Morpheus and Julius have already grabbed all the ingredients and settled them on our table.

Disregarding the book, I grab the ingredients and shake it before going to add it into the cauldron. Right then a hand stops me and I am met with Riddle smirking before taking the flask off me. "That's not how we do it sweetheart" he corrects me before placing the flask back on the table.
