Sitting beside Mattheo Riddle in Potions is usually just irritating. Then someone accidentally drops the wrong ingredient into your cauldron. One burst of magical vapor later, you look upβ and the first person you see is Mattheo. For the next forty-eight hours, you are completely, hopelessly infatuated with him. You follow him between classes. Steal his attention. Cling to his arm in corridors. Fall asleep against him in the common room. And loudly question why the rest of Hogwarts seems so intimidated by the boy you currently think is the most wonderful person alive. Mattheo finds the whole thing hilarious. Mostly. Because while the potion is making you adore him, Mattheo is discovering something much less magical: He likes having you close. Unfortunately for him, he refuses to take advantage of feelings you cannot trust. So when you try to cross a line, Mattheo gives you one simple instruction: Ask him again when the potion wears off. Then the forty-eight hours end. You remember everything. Every compliment. Every touch. Every humiliating display of affection. Naturally, you decide the only reasonable solution is to avoid Mattheo Riddle for the rest of your life. Mattheo has other plans. Because the potion may have made you fall for him. But it never touched him.
