A loud buzzing sound wakes me up. The origin of the sound was my alarm clock 'cus It's 5:30 in the morning. I stretch and get out of bed, swinging my legs to the side, my feet touching the cold floor.
I rub my eyes as I walk over to the bathroom. I turn on the warm water as I wash my face to wake up. I started brushing my teeth when I heard a loud noise so I went to check on it. Pansy was on the floor next to her bed still sleeping.
"Pansy!" I shouted, stammering, "Wake up!"
"Is it already morning?" Pansy asked as she got up. She glanced at the clock and shouted back, "It's fucking 5:36 in the morning! Let. me. SLEEP!" She crawled into bed again trying to sleep.
"If you say so!" I rinse my mouth as I walk over to my dressing table and sit down on the chair in front of it. I put on hair on a bun and put on my facial mask. As I waited 15 minutes before taking off my mask, I walked over to Pansy's bed to annoy her a little more.
"Pansy wake up, please? Pansy Pansy Pansy Pansy Pansy!" I begged as I shook her.
"Do that one more time, I will crucio you." Pansy muttered under her breath threatening me. I stop and take off my facial mask, throwing it into the trash can. I'll try again tomorrow.
I sat on the chair in front of my dressing table again and did my make up. I change into my Slytherin uniform and untie my hair brushing it. I spray rose cologne on my uniform before I head to the door.
"Pansy! I'm heading out! See you at breakfast!" I told Pansy as I walked out the door. It was still only 6:00 am but I had somewhere to go.
I went down the stairs, around an indoor waterfall and over to the Slytherin common room and shouted the exact same password that Draco had said yesterday.
I walk in and sit on the couch as I put on my headphones and listen to my favorite music. I started to stare at the fireplace. In my head, I sang the song that I was listening to.

Draco's Perspective
I was ready for breakfast but it was too early. I looked at the clock and it was 6:40 am. I had nothing to do because stupid Goyle and Crabbe were still asleep. So I decided to walk over to the Slytherin common room.
As I arrived at the steps of the common room, I shouted the password and the door opened. I was about to walk in but saw Y/n sitting on the couch listening to something on her headphones lost in deep thought. It was the first time seeing her in her Slytherin uniform.
Damn she was pretty. The color of green really made her beautiful y/e/c eyes stand out. I stare at her for a moment.
What am I thinking? She's a pathetic ugly mud blood.
"Y/n? What are you dining here so early?" I asked her but she didn't move. Maybe she couldn't hear me because of her headphones.
I walk over to her and sit next to her and hit her head gently. She turns head to me and takes off her headphone, placing it on her lap.
"What do you want, Malfoy?" She asked.
"Nothing, just wondering what you are doing here so early."
"Why do you want to know?" She looks at me with a mysterious face with a smirk on her face. "How did you know I was here? Aren't you a little stalker?" She giggled as she teased me.
"Just shut up Granger." I rolled my eyes as she came closer to me.
"Just stop for a second." She whispered to me, reaching for something above my head.
"W-What are you doing? Stay away from me you f-filthy mud blood!" I shouted at her as I pushed her back.
"Why are you overreacting? There was something on your hair. Perhaps a spider." She pointed at the top of my hair.
"Ahh! Get it off me!" I shook my head as hard as I could. Running around the common room making a circle.
"Gotcha." She smiled. So annoying.
"I hate you so much." I complained as I walked out the Slytherin common room leaving her.

Y/n's Perspective
Soon after Malfoy left, I also left for breakfast. When I got there, I saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione sitting at the Gryffindor table. I waved at them and they all waved back.
"Y/n! You're finally here." Pansy called for me, signing me to sit down next to her.
"Pansy!" I sat down next to her and noticed Draco Malfoy sitting in front of me, making the most irritating face ever. I ignore and turned to Pansy.
"Why did you leave so early in the morning today?" Pansy asked.
"Sorry I was in the common room chilling." I answered her as I stuffed some food in my mouth. I could feel Malfoy's eyes on me.
"You're so diligent. I could never." Pansy also stuffed her mouth with food chatting. After a while, it was time for classes and we finished breakfast and started to walk to our class together.
"Do you want one?" She asked me as she handed me a gum. "What's your first class?" Pansy asks.
"I'm Potion with Professor Snape." I answered her as I put the gum in my mouth as I started chewing it. It was grape flavored gum, the smell hit my nose strongly. Not that I didn't like it.
"Oh I'm in Charms class with Professor Flitwick. Good luck on the first day!" She waved her hand and started walking in the opposite direction.
"Bye!" I waved back as I walked into the Potion classroom. I quickly scanned the room and noticed Malfoy sitting in the front watching me as I walked in.
"Hey! Granger!" He whisper-shouted at me as he signaled with his hand to sit down. I sat down in front of him as Professor Snape started to teach his class.
"Today, we are going to learn about Amortentia with our partners. Now get into groups of 2 and start making potions." Professor Snape told the whole class in a very calm voice and everyone started to get in groups. I looked around but Hermione was with Ron and Harry was with some other girl.
"Agh, what am I supposed to do?" I whisper to myself.
"You're supposed to be partners with me." I turned around and saw Malfoy smiling at me. "What are you looking at? Let's start."
"Fine." I sigh and sit next to Malfoy since I have no choice. We start making the Amortentia Potion as I put in ashwinder eggs, rose thorns, peppermint, powdered moonstone, and pearl dust looking at the ingredient sheet. Malfoy does the finishing touches to the potions as he puts in the rose petals.
"Do you know what potion is Amortentia?" Malfoy asks, stirring the potion and mixing it.
"I'm not very sure. What is it?" I ask back.
"Nothing. Just try smelling it." I bring my nose closer to the potion inhaling deeply to smell it just like he asked me to.
"It smells like.." I tell him as I breathe into the potion. "It's really faint but I smell mint, cologne, and... I'm not sure. Maybe an apple?"
"I thought you hated me..." Malfoy whispers.
"Yeah, and I do hate you. We're enemies." I whisper back.
"Yeah sure." He whispers back again as he laughs with a grin on his face. What was the problem with him? So annoying.
"Isn't it me that you smelled?" He asks again. I could feel the grin on his face getting bigger into a wide smile.
"Maybe, it kinda does smell like you." I responded to him. "What did you smell?"
"Hmm... I smell..." He lowers his head towards the potion to smell it. "Rose, grapes, and fresh air."
Wait- I think he smelled me. The rose cologne that I sprayed in the morning, the grape gum that I am chewing, and how I like to take a walk outside feeling the fresh air. That's definitely me. I thought for a second.
Maybe I am just overthinking. Rose perfumes are really common and Pansy might have given the gum to other kids as well. And everyone likes to take a walk feeling the fresh air.
Malfoy suddenly lowers his body closer to me, making me lean backwards trying to get farther away from him. Our faces were only an inch away as I avoided eye contact. He grabbed my face and turned it, making me gaze into his gray eyes. We held eye-contact for a few moments and I broke the eye-contact, looking to the side. Malfoy broke the silence between us.
"Look at me, Y/n."
