Chapter 20 ║ Potions

I watched closely as the Boggart started to shift into my fear,

I was scared and curious at the same time.

It was changing colours, spinning in a twirl...

Finally it stopped and I saw a boy.

Not just a boy, but Mattheo.

Mattheo Thomas Riddle.

He looked young, just how I saw him last time.

Everyone was whispering something but it was inaudible to me as I was so focused on Him.

He saw me and said, "Good Bye, Night" Before he started to run away at the entrance of the class.

I knew I had to do something.

My mind was racing.

"Riddikulus!" I screamed pointing my wand at him.

He started levitating, trying to run but was stuck at the same place.

I couldn't think of anything funny while he was going away.

I did what I could.

"Alright, that's enough, Miss. Maeve" Prof. Lupin said.

I went back to Theo and Draco.

Pansy had also joined halfway of the class.

I and Pansy became good friends since year 3.

As I reached them, she took me in a tight hug.

That's when I realised the dry tears on my cheeks.

I did not want to cry in front of the whole class as it would make a scene.

"Thank you, Pans." I whispered and pulled apart.

I wiped the tears away.

Theo and Draco gave me a concerned look.

I gave them an assuring look and turned back to class.

It was Harry's turn now.

As his Boggart turned into a dementor, I heard Draco scoff behind me.

Professor came in front of him and the Boggart turned into Moon.

Why was he scared of Moon?

Moon is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

It only made me remember Mattheo more.

He said the spell and the Moon turned into a balloon and with that, he dismissed the class.

We had 15 minutes of break before Potions.

As I left the classroom, I knew what was coming.

"Nyx, are you okay?" Theodore asked.

"Yes, I'm fine. I don't want to talk about it." I said. So, Draco changed the topic.

"But, seriously. Theodore, you're scared of Andrea?!?!" Draco said.

"Ugh, shut up." Theo scoffed.

It made me giggle.

After a while of talking, I went to Potions.

I shared it with Daph, Enzo and Stiles.

I got in but I was pretty early.

There was no one except Hermione.

"Hey, you're early," she started a conversation.

"Yeah. I could say the same thing." I said smiling.

She chuckled a bit.

She tried to say something but was hesitant.

"Say it." I said.

"What?"

"You wanna say something, right."

"Umm- yes actually. I think it would be pretty awkward you know, considering you're a Slytherin and I'm a Gryffindor. But umm- would you like to sometime, you know- hang out? We can maybe do group study... I think we could be good friends."

"Sure! I would love to spend time with you."

Her smile got wider.

"Really! I thought you would deny it."

"Why would I?"

"I don't know. Maybe because you're a Slytherin and I'm a Gryffindor, and you very well know the problems between the two houses. Also because, you know- you're a- you're a Pureblood, and I'm not..." she said.

I laughed a bit, "Hermione, im not Draco. I would never treat you like him." I said smiling.

She gave me a warm smile and students started to join.

I went and sat next to Daphne with Enzo behind me and Stiles beside him.

Today, we learnt about the Burn-Healing Paste.

Pretty useful I thought.

Before the professor dismissed the class, he assigned us a project.

"You will have to do a project on Polyjuice Potion. As its level of making is a bit advanced, you will do this project with your seniors, from year 5th. You will be doing it in a pair of two. But don't get too excited, I will be the one to choose your partners. Wait till they arrive and then I will assign your partners."

We waited for a while, obviously excited. Especially us four. But if we don't get our friends as our partners, we are doomed.

They arrived soon after.

"There is one happy news for you fellows, I will be assigning your partners from your same houses as you can not go out of your common room after curfew hours."

Everyone's expressions became so relaxed and joyful.

He started calling out our names.

"Mr. Weasley (Ron) and Miss. Johnson (Angelina)
Mr. Potter and Mr. Jordan (Lee)
Miss. Granger and Mr. Weasley (George)
......" he kept going on house-wise.

"And last but not the least, for Slytherin,
Mr. Berkshire and Mr. Maeve
Mr. Stilinski and Miss. Greengrass (Astoria)
Miss. Greengrass (Daphne) and Miss. Maeve (Sereia)
Miss. Maeve (Nyx) and Mr. Nawaro
........."

We both smiled at each other. And I heard both Daphne and Stiles fake cough.

I gave both a sarcastic smile.

But I was happy. Honestly, I would be happy with any. But, I'm happier...

A/n: a bit obvious wasn't it, the partner pairing?

Gotta add almost every Harry Potter fanfic essence! 😅

But, let me know what do you think of this chapter...

Comment "Me 🙋‍♀️" if you want Mattheo back as soon as possible.

Also, don't forget to vote!!!

Xoxo...
