I look up at him, his blue eyes staring into my (e/c) ones. He clears his throat.
"So, what class do you have next?" he questions.

"O-oh! I have Potions next!" I say excitingly. I love Potions it's one of my favorite classes here at Hogwarts.

"Well would you look at that, I have Potions as well" he says with a slight smirk on his face. Hm, that's cute.

WAIT WHAT! (y/n) what the heck are you saying. You've only just met him stop thinking those things. Even though he's cute I can not let boys be a distraction.

I snap out of it when a hand waved in front of my face. "Hey you okay?" Newt asks worryingly.
"Oh uhm yes!" I blurt out looking down in embarrassment.

We head to class, we're the last one to get there but thank Merlin we aren't late. We sit down next to each other waiting on the Professor.

The Prof. begins lecturing us about something called Amortentia. What the heck is that, sounds quite silly to me.

Apparently it's some kind of powerful "Love Potion." And when you smell it. It smells like your soulmate.

I mean it couldn't have been more stupid really. Who would even need such a thing.

I felt a slight nudge on my side. I turn my head meeting eyes with Newt. He says "Love Potions eh? Sounds quite charming."

I scoff quietly. "Well I believe it's stupid. Who in their right mind would want to drink a love potion. Let alone smell it." I cross my arms and turn my attention back to the Professor.

I can feel him smirking at me. I just know he is. That dumb cute little smirk! Oh no..why did I just think that, it's not cute it's dumb yeah just dumb, right?

After the Prof. is done lecturing about it, we get to make our own. Everyone has a partner and mine just happens to be Newt.

I get up to get our ingredients but before I could make it there I felt the coldness of concrete. I got pushed onto the floor by none other than a Slytherin.

And I know not all Slytherins are bad, I actually like some of them but other can be quite rude.
"Hey watch where your going bitch." He says annoyed

"I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where i was going" I say looking him straight in the eye. BIG MISTAKE. I have tendency to look people in the eye when talking. My mother says it's polite and shows you're engaged in the conversation.

He's quite tall so he's literally towering over me. "Don't ever look me in the eye you git!" He says and shoved me out of the way. I let out a sigh and grab the ingredients.

I get back to Newt's and I's desk. I set the items down and take a seat. Newt looks at me and asks "Are you alright? I saw that git shove you on the floor."

I stare into his blue-eyes. Damn he's beautiful.. wait no no! No distraction remember!
"Oh uh yeah, it's no big deal really" I said.

He looks at me concerned, "You sure? Because it looked like kinda a bad fall."
He looks at my hands. They're a little scrapped up and dirty from the impact.

"I...uh.." I couldn't even talk. Are you stupid I...uh like what the actual fuck (y/n) you're such an idiot.

I felt a rather coldness on my hand. I drew my gaze down and notice he's holding my hand.
Oh my God! He's touching my hand what do I do!

I wince in pain as he rubs his thumb lightly on the scratches. "S-sorry" he says, hoping he didn't hurt me even more.

"No..it's fine" I say not wanting him to worry.

After we finished our potion it was time to smell it. This is honestly so stupid it doesn't even make sense.

I scanned the room noticing everyone smell their pot. Newt decided to go ahead and smell our potion. A quite puzzled look appears on his face.

"What is it?" I question him.
"I have no idea but, I can smell strawberries with a hint of vanilla and a slight rose scent" He says

Hm..that's odd, my perfume is Strawberry Vanilla. But he said rose also so it couldn't have been me. Could it?

"Alrighty your turn!" He tells me with a slight smile.
"Oh..right" I say giving him a weak smile.

I hover over the pot taking in the scents. Hm, smells somewhat earthy, like the after it has rained smell. Also, the smell of coffee, but with no additives just coffee.

"So? What does it smell like?" He asked curiously.
"Well, smells like earthy, like after it's rained and coffee, just plain coffee." I say not breaking eye contact.

Damn I really need to not do that. It probably creeps people out. What if it creeps him out? Oh no, what if he thinks i'm weird or something.
And is just hanging out with me because he feels bad.

The Prof. then speaks and dismisses us from class. As I was walking out I hear a slight

"Wait up (y/n)!"

I turn my gaze around and notice Newt scurrying towards me.

He was going a bit fast and before I knew it I was on the floor yet again. But this time, a figure was on top of me! Omg! I look at Newt and my face goes red.

No one was near us they had all left already thank Merlin. Noticing the position we are in, his hands are on either side of my body holding himself up.

I lay there in shock not knowing what to do. He clears his throat and gets up in a hurry.

"I am so sorry! I tripped and, oh Merlin" he says embarrassed.

He stood up onto his feet and held out his hand to help me up. I grab a hold of it and he lifts me to my feet.

A slight pink shade appears on his cheeks. "N-no! It's okay, I didn't mind it." OH FUCK! Why would you say that, oh Merlin now he's for sure not going to talk to you ever again!

"I'm sorry!" I let out a small yelp as I turn around and full on sprint to my next class.

After all my other classes were finished I headed up to the (y/h) common room. I hurry to my dorm as quick as I could closing the door when I get there.

I slide down the door my knees curled up into my chest and my head in my hands. I'm so embarrassed why would I say such a thing.

I get up after a few minutes and walk to my side of the dorm. I get ready for bed and lay down. Thinking about the situation I was just in.

I end falling asleep not wanting to face tomorrow. Or worse, stand face to face with Newt.
