Y/N's P.O.V.

I was never known to be a good listener.Not because I talk too much..It's just that...I sleep a lot.More than I should be,actually.And it's getting me into trouble.

Then there was a time when Professor McGonagall had swatted me with a rolled parchment for more than five times in five different days in her class.I've been swatted by Flitwick eight times.But Snape never gave me detention because he caught me sleeping once in the detention,he would give me anti-sleeping potion instead.And I haven't slept for two straight days because of it.

That's why I'm fighting the urge to sleep in Snape's class.And right now,he was pairing us up for another brewing activity.And I was desperately muffling my yawns.

"Sleepy again,Ms.L/n,"mumbled Snape in a deep tone.

"No,sir,"I lied.

He just sighed,"You're grades aren't good enough.I suggest you focus and stop thinking more about sleeping around if you want to keep it at night."

"Yes,sir,"I croaked as I remembered staying up throughout the night even if I really wanted to sleep.

"Take your seat beside Malfoy,and hope that he'd save your ass in the activity,"he snapped.

I groaned mentally and said myself down beside his favourite student.Despite that we were friends,I still hate the fact that he was being a pet.

Draco was seated at the back of the class,and since Snape was demonstrating the steps on making the potion,I took it as an opportunity to sleep since I was confident that Draco can make the potion all by himself.And Snape wouldn't be able to see me behind Crabbe and Goyle who was perfectly blocking me from the sight of the Professor in front.

I had laid my head on the table,my arms supporting it as if they were a pillow.And I was almost asleep when I saw Draco already starting to make the potion.I just stared at him as he read the textbook carefully.He was very playful but he looked very handsome when he's serious.I thought he was handsome but I was afraid he'd just laugh at me if I dare compliment him.He might even suspect that I like him...which is not true....fine,I do!Would you stop looking at me like that?!

Somehow,I felt guilty I f I don't help him and we'll be having equivalent scores if he makes the best potion in class,which he always does.

"What can I do to help?"I asked him.

I was expecting a snarky remark,or a boast,or even a glare.But he had replied,and nicely of that,"Would you crush these Rose thorns?And cut the moonstone into size,please."

He had dropped ashwinder eggs when he said it,so I hurriedly crushed the rose thorns that he then added to the cauldron after I had finished.He also asked me to measure a cup of refined peppermint oil while he had put the moonstone.

"What are we making anyway?"I asked as he stirred the mixture clockwise.

"Aren't you paying attention?"he snapped.

"I was sleepy,"I confessed,"Please,tell me."

He sighed,"We're making Amortentia."

Amortentia?What's that?Soon enough,a strong aroma made its way to my nose.

"I think there's something wrong with it,"I suddenly say as I found myself sniffing it more in.

"What do you mean it's wrong?It's perfect!"he debated.

"I smell green apples,"I just mumbled without notice,"And a mixture of fresh air and grass,like someone who had practice from the Quidditch pitch...and some chocolate like the ones from lunch...I smell expensive cologne,and metallic odor like gold."

I feel Draco staring at me after he had let go of the ladle.

I just knew that smell anywhere so why would it smell like that,"Are you sure this potion is suppose to smell like you?What is it for anyway?"

He gulped and turned away,closing the textbook.I swear I could see tints of pink on his cheeks.Did I say something wrong?

I was borrowing the text book but he wouldn't let me.And I left mine on my table before Snape paired us up.

All of a sudden,Snape came to our cauldron and smelled it.I was hoping that we did it wrong but...

"Not bad,L/n,"he said as he went to someone else's cauldron.

***

I had let go of the issue and just hope that studying tonight would help me pass Snape's quiz tomorrow.He asked everyone to study and he said that he was gonna make the questions hard.So,I planned to study before sleep.

Anyway,I just met with Draco and his friends in the common room along with the other Slytherins.We usually talked a lot,it surprised me that he was avoiding me now.But when I was about to leave for the girl's dormitory,Draco had slipped a piece of parchment in my hand before he went to the boy's dormitory as well.It said:

My Amortentia smells like you,too.
-DM

It made me more curious and the whole idea baffled me when I found out.Amortentia is a fucking love potion.The answers was enclosed in a parenthesis at the bottom of page 250.

(Note:Amortentia has a different aroma for everyone who smells it,reminding of each person of the things they find most attractive.)

Yup.I confessed to Draco Malfoy without even knowing it.I could feel my cheeks heat up.I never thought Draco Malfoy would find me anything attractive.Only Merlin knows what would happen to me tomorrow.

Only Merlin knows what would happen to me tomorrow
