Malfoy's POV

Okay. According to the loads of books that I've been reading the previous day, Gra- I mean Riddle is my mate. But how am I supposed to mark her or at least befriend her, when she hates me that much? I left a groan of frustration and went to Potions.
   I noticed Riddle and her friends talking. No, I smelled her and then I saw her. I took a deep breath and walked to them.
They stopped immediately laughing as I was approaching.
  "Hey Riddle, Weasley, Weaslette and Potter. Look... I want to-" How am I going to tell them? I thought.
"Tell us what Malfoy?" Riddle spat.
  I looked at her confused. The other three were trying to stifle back a laugh. Riddle smirked. But I decided that I had to continue.
  "I wanted to apologise for everything I have done to all of you. Weasley, I am sorry that I was teasing you for your money. Potter,well, I'm sorry for making your life worse. Weaslette I'm sorry for teasing you and hexing you. Gra- sorry Riddle, I apologise for everything I have done. For the hexing, for the taunting, for everything that happened in the Malfoy Manor, for... well you got the point."
  Luckily all of them nodded and stretched out a hand. Riddle spoke.
  "Apology accepted Ma- Draco. We believe that everyone deserves a second chance. So... friends?"    
  I grinned and took everyone's hand "friends" I answered.
   Then Slughorn entered the class so we got in and paid attention.
"Good afternoon class.Today we are going to brew Love Potions and their Antidotes in pairs. So...
Weasley and Parkinson
Potter and Greengrass
Zabini and Weasley
Finnigan and Patil
Nott and Greengrass
Longbottom and Lovegood
Malfoy and Gra- Riddle.
   The potions are in page 37 and 38. Good luck!"
   Riddle and me went on a table and opened our books. After half an hour our potions and their antidotes were ready. Riddle called Slughorn and he came with a smile in his face.
  "Very well mister Malfoy and miss Riddle. Now I want you to taste it. First miss Riddle will take the potion and after five minutes you will give her the antidote then mister Malfoy and you will give him the antidote."
He said pointing at us.
    "Well... here goes nothing." I heard Riddle say while she drank the potion. I realised that the whole class was holding their breaths including me. Then she blinked and turned at me.
   "Hello Draco." She came and sat on my lap, each of her long legs roung my waist and her hands around my neck. I had to hold ny Veela under control if I didn't want to do something that I would regret later. Then she did something that I had never expected her to do. She leaned in and kissed me! The others where making noises as soon as I saw that I was responding to her kiss.  With all my strength I pulled away and gave her the antidote. She blinked again and then looked at our classmates that were still gawking at us.
   Don't ask. Don't ask. Please do not ask!  I was thinking which my fingers crossed. Then I heard her
  "Don't ask what exactly Malfoy? Professor did my potion worked?" 
Slughorn smiled at her mischievously. 
"Oh yes it worked miss Riddle. Your potion was perfect. You actually kissed mister Malfoy for four whole minutes without pulling back."
   She was shocked. She turned to me
"You! Of all people why you?" She looked utterly disgusted so I decided not to answer. I just drank the potion.
