It was your fourth year at hogwats and it was going by well. The triwizard tournament had been announced recently as everyone became exited to see Wizards from all over battle it out. Really, you couldn't see all the hubbub. Even if you were a Slytherin. It didn't mean you had to rejoice EVERY time someone got hurt. You sighed as you entered the potions classroom and sat next to the Slytherin prince himself. You sighed again as you watched everyone look at you. Constantly being judged for being friends with Draco and just for being a Slytherin in general.
You looked over at the golden trio and hummed to yourself. They looked like they were having fun. The one with the unruly hair was lecturing the two males about something or other and the red head was groaning. 'The boy who lived' just laughed and poked fun at the both of them. You shrugged slightly, you couldn't be like them. You were a Slytherin. Cunning and mischievous.You would prefer pulling someone's chair out from under than frolicking in a meadow with the golden trio any day. Well, that's what everyone expected. I mean yeah, you weren't going to frolic in some meadow anytime soon. But you would love to do something other than plot against Potter with Draco and his cronies. Draco was fun sometimes, but as his obsession with the Potter boy grew worse. It became leas fun hanging with him. You looked over at Draco and he smirked at you. His grey eyes like cool freshly polished steel.
You smiled back slightly. "Draco." you acknowledged. "(L/N)."he smirk slightly widened. His smirk was lopsided and wild. You nodded at your friend. He had been there through the works. Sure, he was an ass. But you couldn't be happier to calm him a friend. Even If hanging with him was a major bore. You kicked the table leg as Snape walked in. Wearing his usual sneer. "Alright class." he stated, his teeth gritted like it hurt to talk. "Today we shall practice amortentia. Mr. Malfoy can you tell me what that is." Snape asked without doubt that Malfoy would give a by the book explanation.
Draco smirked proudly and spoke with confidence, "Amortentia is the most powerful love potion known to wizard and muggle kind. It causes a powerful obsession and infatuation with its drinker. It is distinctive for its mother-of-pearl sheen, and steam rises from the potion in spirals. Amortentia smells different to each person, according to what attracts them."
Draco looked at Snape expectantly and grinned triumphantly when Snape nodded. "Very good Mr.Malfoy, ten points to Slytherin." you sighed again and shifted in your seat briefly and Professor Snape gave the class instructions on how to make the potion. You got out of your seat when Snape called for everyone to grab their ingredients. The whole class gossiped about what theirs might smell like.
Your's would probably smell like Potter, you admit he was quite the looker. But you knew he probably like the Chang girl or the younger Weasley. You shook your head as you and Draco started on the very difficult to master potion.----Time skip----
After the potion had finished brewing you took a step towards it slightly.
Sniffing the potion, slightly expecting a woodsy outdoor scent. What you smelled was nothing of the sort.
You shook your head in disbelief, smelling the potion again. It smelled faintly of mint and some type of really strong cologne. It had a slight clean and professional feel, but with a slight spice that filled your nose. A scent you knew all to well to be of Draco Malfoy. You looked towards Malfoy with a shocked expression. He wasn't even doing the potion, he was talking with that Zabini kid. You shook your head, this just couldn't be. You stumbled backward a few steps. Feeling a few eyes train on you. You didn't care though, this had to be wrong. You quickly lunged toward the potion. Smelling it over and over.
"N-no this can't be right. Professor Snape, please I think I've done something wrong." he looked over from his place at his desk and got up. Suddenly more eyes were on you. The class started to murmur about how the near highest graded star pupil in the class could get a potion wrong.Snape looked down at the potion, examining it before giving it a slight sniff. "Everything seems to be in order. Very well done (l/n), five points to Slytherin." you shook your head in disbelief. "Sir, please. I must have done something wrong." you pleaded. He looked at you with a strange expression. "Are you saying I have made a mistake? I can assure you everything is in order. Do not sabotage the work you have done and get points deducted from your house." he sneered, going back to sit at his desk. "Yessir." you mumbled, sitting down and burying your face in your hands. You felt Draco nudge you, he was frowning.
"What the hell is wrong with you. Have you gone mad or something?" he pressed. You shook your head "Leave me alone Malfoy." you spat back. He looked at you in awe, you rarely ever back talked him. You never really cared what mean things he spat, he was just Malfoy. He shrugged and decided to back off. You groaned and asked to be excused from class to go to the nurses office, you might have just not been feeling well. Snape excused you with a grunt. You left the classroom in a stagger and everyone started to murmur about what must have happened. As soon as you were out of the classroom you feel to you knees. You were in love with Malfoy. Draco Malfoy. Prince of Slytherin. Even if you were in love with Malfoy, he would never love you back. You hung your head and decided to just go take a nap. The only class you had left was DADA and you knew Draco would mostly likely cover for you. You sneered at the mention of his name. No on could know. The less people that knew the better. It would help you get over this...problem. If you even could. You continued your walk down the hallway. It seemed longer than ever.
You stopped when you heard your name. You turned around to be met with platinum blonde hair and grey eyes that reminded you of polished steel. You smiled slowly at the sight of the boy, but quickly stopped when he got closer. Malfoy huffed and grabbed your arm. "What the hell (f/n)?!" he asked, slowly become louder with every word. You shook your head violently. "I'm just not feeling well." you lied, trying to get away from him. You stepped to the side and he grabbed your arm. "Can I ask you something?" he asked softly. You bit your lip and looked down at your feet. "What?" you whispered loud enough for him to hear. "What did you smell when you brewed the amortentia potion?" he shifted uncomfortably from his left foot too his right.
You shook your head "That's really none of your business Draco." you mumbled trying to release yourself from his grasp. "Did you smell....something similar to what potter smells like." he asked uncomfortably. Not even sure if he worded that right. "If you must know. I smelled mint....and cologne. It was strong and exotic. Pleasant but spicy. It leaves you wanting more. To get lost in the sent." you said unsure of the reply you might get. "Oh." was all Draco could say, he let go of your arm and stood there, a blank expression on his face. "Yeah. Oh." you felt your throat tighten and you tried not to cry. You were a Slytherin....you never cried. At least, not in front of others.
You quickly continued to walk to your room as hot tears fell from your eyes. Why did you even care, it was just Malfoy. You barley realized you loved him until today. He was just Malfoy. Just stupid Draco Malfoy. Prince of Slytherin. Your thoughts were interrupted by a hand on your shoulder. You whipped around, frightened. You hadn't heard any foot steps. You looked up into those silver-grey eyes that you could get lost in. "What do you want?" you asked hoarsely. "(f/n) please listen for a second." you shook your head slightly. "I'm done listening." you scoffed. "Fine, then don't." he rolled his eyes, grabbing your waist and pressing your body too his. "Draco what are you-" you were interrupted yet again by Malfoy. Suddenly his lips were on yours. You were shocked but kissed him back. In fanfiction, people always made a big deal about when the couple opened their mouths, but with Draco it was hard to keep your mouth closed. Soon, his tongue and yours were intertwining and pushing against each other. You pulled away from him for air. Your face was flushed and your breathing hard.
"Do you want to know what I smelled?" he mumbled, his forehead on yours. "I'm guessing, what ever I smell like." you smirked. He buried his face in your neck. "And do you want to know what that you smell like." he mumbled against your neck. "hmm." you hummed. He kissed your neck softly "Sweet." and another "Like apples." and another "And honey." and another. "I love you draco." you mumbled. You felt him smile against your neck. "Always." he mumbled. "ahem." you both looked up to see Professor Snape. He smiled at you too slightly. "Scatter before I have to take points from Slytherin." you both smiled and nodded, running toward the common room. Snape gave a small smile and took out the picture of Lily from the pocket in his cloak. "Always." he murmured, walking back to teach his last class of the day.
