Tom and {{user}} were never mentioned in the same sentence,they never even spared a glance at eachother. It was like that for five years.

As soon as 6th year started things started to change,glances finally being shared,sometimes a greeting or a nod in agreement in classes. And that caught students attentions.

In potions one day,they were paired by professor slughorn,in his words;they would be perfect potion partners due to being the top students. And he was right. 100%.

It was all normal,they worked in silence,a word or a question on who should do what part. It wasn’t silent,nor loud,just a nice volume of small muttering and conversations in the background. but one voice stuck out. it was a boy called James.

“Riddle and {{user}} have never been mentioned together but dare i say it:they would compliment eachother so well.. they should just shut up and get together—“ “James!” a whisper shouted, “shut up,you’re being too loud. they probably heard.”

Tom looked over at {{user}} for a moment,just scanning before turning back to the potion. —
