autumns way of saying goodbye.

-Amortenia-

I didn't how to feel in the moment. I was so confused i kissed him once.

After a couple of minutes of making out, he whispers "damn" and that once word just sends butterflies all thoroughout my body. "Here, come and gaze at th stars with me." He says pulling me down on the ground to where me head lays up against his chest, i could hear his heartbeating. He was nervous, and i don't blame him, so was i. He goes on to tell me about all the stars and their aliginments. "Wow Drac, i didn't know you knew all of that, it's brilliant." I say snuggling my head deeper into his chest and he storkes my hair.

"My mother and i would always go out on a clear night to look at the stars, she'd tell me everything she knew about them."

"Your mother sounds amazing."

"She is."

"I wish i had a connection with my moher like you do, i don't even know mine."

"And you want to know what i think of that?" He says tiltiing my head up, "I think her leaving you was the biggest mistake she's ever made in her life." He said as his thumb was tracing my cheek wiping away a tear that started to fall. All i do is give him a cheeky smilea put my hand on his chest. He gives me a kiss on the forhead and we resume our gaze upon the bright stars.

Soon, it was 12am. We both decide it's time for bed. We quickly run back to our dormitries, trying not to get caught. Onve we get to the Ravenclaw dorms, he cups my face in his hands and lays a warm kiss on my lips and says, "Good night love." I give him a heart-filled smile and relpy with "Good night Drac." As i turn to walk thorugh the painting i feel his hand on mine and spind me around into another kiss. That was the happiest iv'e ever felt. He pulls away and winks. I stood there with the biggest smile on my face and walk into my dorm. When i open the door i see Luna sleeping peacfully, i didn't want to wake her so i just tip-toed to my bed and slide under the warm covers and stared at the ceiling, my face flushed. All i could think about was Draco, the way he kissed me, the way he held me. What changed? I don't know where it came from but hell i wasn't complaining.

The next morning i wake up to the sound of the birds cheerping and i knew, today was going to be eventful. I put on my robes and head down to the Great Hall with Luna to meet up with Hermionie, Ron and Harry. "Madyline! Good morning!" Harry says with a smile as he gives me a hug. "Hey Harry." I say with a smile. I say hi and good morning to Hermionie and Ron and we enter the dining hall for breakfast. I look over to the Slytherin table and see that Draco was already seated with his little squad. It was something about the Slytherin house that drew me in, like i belonged there for some reason. I don't know why. I shouldn't feel that way but it felt right it me. My father was a Gryfindor so i'm not sure why i'm drawn to Slytherin. Draco snaps me out of my fasination as he waves. I wave back with a shy look on my face. "Hey i'll see you guys after breakfast!" I say to the three and they nod. I head to the Ravenclaw table with Luna and sit down. "So where did you go last night?" Luna asked. "Up to the Astronamy tower with Draco." I relpy as i take a bite of my chocolate chip muffin. "Oh that sounds delightful," she says, "did you have fun?"

"Yeah, it was great."

"That;s wonderful to hear, are you ready for our classes today?"

"Ready as i'll ever be."

"Don't worry Madyline, i feel the same way."

We both finish our breakfast andmeet up with the other in the hall to get ready to go to potions class, i was actually exsited. Our first class of the year and it's my favorite one. Once we got there it was exactly how i remember it. An old, dusty, but anquite room. I loved it. "Alright, no time to waste you are old enough to get right into this class everyone take out your books and turn to page 95." Snape says with a snarl. As i turn the the page i start the name, "Amortentia". Shit i thought to myself. I knew exactly what this was it was one of the strongest love potions in the entire world. I mean it not bad and it's not hard to make, for me at least but what you smell is what attacts you and that's what scared the shit out of me. "So as you can see we are making amortentia, it's one of the storngest love potions in the world. We will be brewing this potion and you will smell it, and tell the class what you smell or else you drink it." Snape says as he turns to the class with a glare. "Get to brewing." He finishes and i instantly start to get the ingerdiants and start brewing. I finish with 30 minutes and Snape wasn't surpised iv'e always been excelled in his class. I look around and most of the class was stuck on the first step. After an hour of sitting and waiting, Snape fianlly says, "Okay everyone, stop. Obviously you can't do this potion so we are just going to use Miss. Madlyine's since she did it perfuctly. I don't know why they never say my last name. I don't have my fathers last name because my parents were never married so i took my mothers last name. No on seems to know it but i don't care honestly. Everyone nods at Snape and line up to smell the potion i brewed. Nevile Longbotton was up first, i didn't want to go first so i went towards the back, about 15 people passed at it was Harry's turn, "I smell lavender, fresh mint with a hint of rosemary." My heart stops my perfume is named Lavender-Mint and my shampoo smells like rosemany. I turn away in embarrasment but i don't know why i blushed. I can't have feelings for Harry...can I? I brush the feeling off as Draco was next in line. "I smell Mint and Lanvender, mine and green apples." He says turning back to look at me and give me a wink. Again my heart stopped, and butterflies were rushing though my stomach. I stepped up to the coldren and took a whif, it hit me like a train. "I-i" I hesitated. "I smell, green apples, a strong sent of cologne and a hint of cinnmaon spice." i say quickly hoping no one heard that i turn back to see Draco and Harry just staring at me and it hit me. oh shit. Draco always ate those stupid green apples and has that over-powering smell of his manly-cologne, and Harry smells like cinnamon spice. I was so scared and i didn't know what to do and i sure as hell knew that i was going to be an eventful day.
