In his office deep within the castle, Professor Gaunt was counting out ingredients for his next class. His wand was very helpful, but sometimes he liked to do it by hand just so he could feel the different textures of each item. Due to some mischief Garreth Weasley had caused while they were students together, Ominis liked to keep his ingredients well looked-after.
This class, they would be making a difficult, but not usually dangerous potion: Amortentia. He enjoyed hearing the heartbeats of students accelerate as they smelled things associated with those they knew, and maybe didn't yet know they were in love with. He did have to admit he enjoyed brewing this particular potion as well, for it gave him another chance to smell the scents of his lover, Y/N.
He had tried ever so hard to deny those feelings, yet he now knew he deserved that love. He hadn't wanted to bring unwarranted darkness to Y/N with his heavy past, yet she had managed to make her own darkness anyway. The events from four years ago still haunted all of their nightmares.
Despite knowing Y/N for so long, her past was still something of a mystery. She didn't like to talk about it, and he knew better than to pry into backgrounds better left unsaid.
Professor Gaunt began to lay out ingredients at each potions station, and shortly after, students began to arrive.
