Much to Horace Slughorn's dismay, Artemis Potter and Tom Riddle seem to have drifted apart a little despite having spent the summer holidays with each other. So, of course, it is upto him to bring them closer once more. If only his superb match-making skills would stop back-firing. ~*~*~*~ Tom Riddle had mostly positive feelings about his potions partner, Artemis Potter. Somedays, he wanted them to hold-hands and walk in the ancient corridors of Hogwarts, making puns and fondly arguing. Somedays, he just wanted to sit on a sofa and stare at her as she drew him with charcoal, thanking whatever deity existed beyond the mortal plane that he was fortunate enough to be with her, despite his faults. Somedays, he wished the moments he spent with her could be expanded to last forever. Then, there were some days when he had to swallow the urge to blurt out that he loved her and those were the days that he adored the most. Sequel to All Is Fair (please don't start this book, "Fire and Gold", without reading "All Is Fair" as it contains major spoilers) Book 2 of the duology.

In Horace Slughorn's defence, he couldn't have known that all this would happen. All he had wanted to do was play match-maker between his two favourite students, Tom Riddle and Artemis Potter. ~*~*~*~ Tom Riddle had very mixed feelings about his potions partner, Artemis Potter. Somedays, he wanted to repeatedly use 'silencio' on her. Somedays, he just wanted to kill her. Somedays, he wished she never existed. Then, there were somedays that he remembered every little thing he loved about her and those were the days that he detested the most.
