Mattheo looked down at me, smirking.

"You smelt me?" I said my mouth agape.

"Is there anyone else that smells that good?" He questioned his smirk, widening as I blushed.

"Right now, with your partners, pick one of these potions to make! Ingredients are over on that table. You have forty minutes." Slughorn exclaimed, clapping his hands together excitedly.

"Let's do the poisoned mead." I said hurriedly as I walked briskly over to the table Slughorn had gestured over to. I grabbed the ingredients and made my way over to a table, setting the contents down.

Mattheo came over leaning against the table, watching as I skimmed through the instructions.

"Hm, I'd say you're pretty good." He commented as I crushed up some beetle legs.

"Is that a compliment from Mr Riddle?" I teased, avoiding his gaze as I added the ingredients to the cauldron.

He took my chin, tilting my head to look up at him. Our gazes met.

"Ah, look at me whilst I talk to you, princess." He whispered softly.

I hoped that he didn't notice my tinted cheeks.

"Yeah, well, uh." I looked away.

"Aw, is someone shy." He cooed before starting to help make the potion.

I shook my head and carried on.

After ten minutes of light back and forth between us, the potion was done, and I crossed my arms as Slughorn came over gently, stirring the mixture.

"Very good! You two seem to work well together." He mused, walking off towards Harry Potter.

Mattheo smirked at me, raising his brows.

"Even he agrees."

"What?"

"I'd say we'd make a great team."

I almost choked on air.

Was he serious?

"Wow, you look as red as a tomato right now." He said, grinning at me.

"Shut up." I mumbled.

After potions, I ran to Pansy, clutching onto her arm.

"Oh my fucking God Pansy! I'm even more in love." I groaned.

"As if you could fall for him even more." She laughed, flicking my head.

"He smelt me! Plus, he said we'd make a great team!"

"Wow, that's so flirting." She scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"I can practically hear the wedding bells." I said, ignoring her comment.

She sighed, shaking her head a faint smile tugging at her lips.

"You and your imagination."

Mattheo and I had gotten closer and closer after a couple of months. We were always partners in potions, which Pansy was not pleased about, but she eventually forgave me after I got her food.

"Y/n you came. I thought you'd stood me up." Mattheo teased from where he leant against the astronomy tower railing his hair lightly blowing in the wind.

"I'm two minutes late." I laughed, walking over.

He rolled his eyes, nudging me gently.

"Felt like two hours."

I smiled. He looked down at me softly.

"Stop looking at me like that!" I protested, looking away.

I heard him chuckled and moved closer.

He didn't say anything.

"You know eversince I moved, you'd always be wherever I was." He mused.

I froze.

"Oh. How... weird."

"Yeah. That's what I thought. So I started watching you."

"That's not terrifying at all." I chuckled.

"When we were partnered in potions, I was ecstatic. You were even better than I had imagined. Funny, sweet, and smart." He carried on his gaze, staring out into the distance.

His gaze shifted to mine.

"Y/n. I like you... a lot. A lot, a lot." He spoke.

No. Way. He liked me?!

"Wait, this isn't some joke?" I asked.

He shook his head.

"Promise."

I nodded slowly.

"Well, I like you too, Mr Riddle."

"As I said, we could make a great team." He said, smiling.

"That we could."
