liora vale has always been first.
so when seventh year begins and she's placed in advanced potions with mattheo riddle, she expects nothing to change.
he doesn't try like she does. he doesn't need to. he shows up late, barely pays attention, and still stays at the top without effort.
then slughorn assigns group work.
and for the first time, they choose their partners themselves.
blaise zabini pulls liora into a group with riddle, assuming mattheo won't be much help anyway.
but mattheo doesn't like second place so he makes a plan to make her slip, just enough to take first place back.
except it doesn't go the way he expects because the more he watches her, the harder it gets to stay focused on the plan at all.
and suddenly, it isn't about winning anymore.
it's about her.
