CHAPTER 12

Scene: Potions Class - Brewing Amortentia

The tension in the classroom was palpable as Emma sat between Jungkook and Jimin. The two boys, both significant in her life in ways she didn't yet fully understand, couldn't have been more different. Jungkook, with his easygoing Gryffindor warmth, and Jimin, the mysterious and calculating Slytherin whose presence always left her both comforted and unsettled.

Professor Slughorn's booming voice cut through her thoughts as he introduced the day's potion.

Professor Slughorn:
"Today, we'll be brewing Amortentia, the most powerful love potion in existence! Let's see who among you has a sharp enough nose to detect the scents that reveal what you're most drawn to."

Emma shot a nervous glance at Jimin, who sat just across the aisle from her, his face a perfect mask of indifference. But she knew better. There was something in the way his fingers drummed lightly against the table—he was on edge, too.

On the other hand, Jungkook, sitting right beside her, was the picture of calm. He winked at her when he caught her looking, offering her one of his signature playful grins. But even that didn't completely ease the knots forming in her stomach.

Emma (to herself):
"Why did it have to be Amortentia?"

She watched as Professor Slughorn waved his wand, filling the classroom with the sweet, heady aroma of the love potion. The air grew thick with the mingling scents of everyone's deepest desires. Slowly, students started to take turns approaching the cauldron, inhaling the intoxicating potion.

Emma closed her eyes for a moment, letting the scents hit her. Fresh parchment, the scent of a burning fire, and then... something else. A soft, clean scent like rain-soaked grass. Her eyes fluttered open, darting toward Jungkook.

Could it be him? But no sooner had the thought crossed her mind than her gaze wandered to Jimin, whose own eyes seemed locked on her, as if waiting for something. There was something undeniably magnetic about him, something that tugged at her in ways she couldn't explain. Yet her heart was still confused, divided between the safety she felt with Jungkook and the pull she felt toward Jimin.

Scene: Potions End - Leaving the Classroom

As the lesson ended and the students began filing out of the dungeon, Emma's head swirled with conflicting emotions. Jungkook chatted away, trying to make plans for lunch, but her mind was elsewhere. Jimin, who had stayed quiet throughout class, now walked just behind them, his Slytherin badge glinting under the dim light of the dungeon.

Just as they were about to leave the room, Jimin's hand brushed hers ever so slightly, a light but deliberate touch. Emma felt a jolt, the spark between them undeniable, but Jungkook, oblivious, tugged her forward with a smile.

Jungkook:
"Come on, Emma! You're being way too quiet. You're not still thinking about the potion, are you?"

Emma blinked, trying to shake off the effect Jimin had left lingering on her skin.

Emma (forcing a smile):
"No, no. Just lost in thought."

Jungkook grinned, clearly unfazed.

Jungkook:
"Well, you better snap out of it, or I'll steal your pudding at lunch!"

He nudged her playfully, and she couldn't help but laugh. But when she glanced back, Jimin had already slipped into the shadows of the hall, his Slytherin green scarf trailing behind him.

Scene: Gryffindor Common Room - That Evening

Later that evening, Emma found herself sitting in the Gryffindor common room with Jungkook. They had just finished a long study session, and now the fire crackled warmly in front of them, casting a soft glow on their faces. Jungkook leaned back in his chair, stretching his arms above his head.
