(Ophelia's POV)
Today was the first day of classes, for the sixth year in a row. Yay...
The four of us had Potions together. The first time with a new teacher. This will be interesting.
"Welcome you four" Professor Slughorn beams
"Mr.Malfoy, Ms.Mendoza, welcome"
"Mr.Zabini, Ms.Parkinson, come in, come in"
"God, why does it smell like...perfume in here?" Blaise groans
"It doesn't smell like perfume," Pansy says
"Yeah, I'm not smelling perfume either" I add
"Now, I'd like to welcome all of you to Potions. Now today we will be talking about these potions you see in front of me" Slughorn says
"Ah. Harry, my boy, I was beginning to worry. We've bought someone with us, I see" Slughorn says as Potter and Weasley walk into the classroom
"Ron Weasley, sir," Weasley says
"But I'm dead awful at Potions, a menace, actually. So I'm just gonna..." Weasley adds as he starts to walk away
"Nonsense, we'll sort you out. Any friend of Harry's is a friend of mine" Slughorn grins
"Already picking favorites, I see" Pansy scoffs
"Get your books out" Slughorn says
"Sorry sir, I haven't actually got my book yet, and nor has Ron" Potter says
"Not to worry, get what you want from the cupboard" Slughorn says
"Now as I was saying, I prepared some concoctions this morning. Any ideas what these might be?" Slughorn asks. I hesitantly raise my hand
"Yes, Ms.Mendoza?"
"That one is Veritaserum. It's a truth-telling serum. And that one I'm guessing is Polyjuice potion. And that's Amortentia, the strongest love potion in the world" I explain
"And what do you smell Ms.Mendoza?" Slughorn asks
"I'd rather not" I nervously chuckle
"I insist, tell us what you smell," he says
"God, alright. I smell apples and hair gel?" I say in a questioning tone
"Thank you Ms.Mendoza" Slughorn smiles
"Wonder who that is?" Draco smirks as I return to the crowd
"Shut up" I mumble
"Wait if you smelled, you know...why does Blaise smell perfume?" Pansy
"No reason..." Blaise mumbles
"Who is she Zabini" Draco smirks
"No one!" Blaise whispers
"Now, Amortentia doesn't create actual love. That would be impossible. But it does create a powerful infatuation or obsession. And for that reason, it is probably the most dangerous potion in this room" As Slughorn explains this, the crowd of girls were slowly moving forward, hypnotized by the potion. Slughorn quickly puts the lid back on the cauldron.
"What do you smell Parkinson" I smile
"It smells like...plums" Pansy whispers
"So, Lovegood?" Blaise asks, Pansy starts to blush
"Sir? You haven't told us what's in that one" Katie Bell says
"Oh, yes. What you see before you, ladies and gentlemen is a curious little potion known as Felix Felicis. But it is more commonly referred as—" Slughorn explains
