"Miss L/N!" Professor Slughorn yelled.
"Yes!" I quickly said, leaving my thoughts behind.
"You didn't answer my question." He said impatiently.
I paused.
"I'm sorry, Sir." I said, "I zoned out."
He sighed and proceeded to ask another girl the question.
"Pay attention," He scoffed.
I looked up to the dark eyes that were looking back at me.
"Yes, Riddle." I said, "You should pay attention."
He rolled his eyes with a smirk and turned back around.
Riddle and I always had chats like these. I would do something, he would comment on it.
Most comments tended to be a little snarky but were always followed by a playful grin that I pretended to despise but secretly liked.
I turned my attention back to class to listen to what Professor Slughorn was now saying.
"Now, today, we will be making a potion called Amortentia." He spoke.
Whispers circled the classroom. Everyone knew what Amortentia was.
"Silence!" Professor Slughorn said.
The class quieted.
"How it is going to work is that you will make your Amortentia, and then we will let it sit for a week. Then when it is ready, we will smell and test it." He spoke.
"For this potion, I have assigned you each partner to work with." He said.
He looked down at a paper and began to say aloud the groupings.
I waited for my name to be said. Towards the end of the list, Slughorn said by name along with a name I had never expected to hear in the same sentence as mine.
"Y/N L/N and Tom Riddle!" He said loudly.
I looked up to see Tom already looking back at me.
