Potions

Belle's POV

The teacher that walked into the classroom was an old man with grey hair, and blue eyes. I looked at him closley, and noticing that he mus be atleast 70 years old. He looked around the classroom, and looking between us students, until suddenly he stopped looking, and stayed with his look on me. He smiled, like to say "welcome", but than he looked at my left side. His smile faded away, and he took out his books.

- Well godmorning studens, he said without making anny sign to be worried. But I could se that he was. I looked to my left, and saw Malfoy staring at nothing. But his eyes were paralised like they were looking at something, that nobody else could see. He look sad. And angry. I felt sorry for him, but I didn't dare to say annything. I couldn't understand that professor Slughorn looked that terrified of Malfoy. 

I looked back at Mr. Slughorn, seeing that he was taking out an potion.

- So for your information, he started. My name is Professor Slughorn, for al of you new students. I'm going to teach you al about potions, and today we start with one of the, maybe the weakest, love potion: Amor Odor. It's latin and means something like "the smell of love". Does annybody know what this potion can do?

I could see three or two hands upp in the air, and professor Slughorn took a girl with blond curly hair.

- The potion Amor Odor, as you said isn't werry powerfull, becaus it actually doesn't do annything special...

- You don't think that showing someone their futere love is something special? Slughorn asked the girl with a litle smile on his face.

- Ehmm.... well....ye..

- I think it's facinating, Slughorn said. He turned to al the students. The smell of the potion gives you a the smell of the persons "heart". 

You could hear some boys laugh at this, but the girls were quiet.

I looked at Malfoy, and he was smiling. I quickly looked away, and started listening to professor Slughorn who was laughing with the boys.

- Well, quiet please! he said. I'm not done yet.

It went quiet.

- But when you drink it ..., he said and closed his eyes. When you drink it, you will see the person infront of you. For en example, the professor started. If you are inlove with two people, and drink this potion it will show you wich one you will marry. Maybe it's one of them, or it's not. 

No body laughed. Profesor slughorn took out a litle cauldron and opend it.

- Today, I want one of you to tell me what you smell, and the chalange for today, is to find out what ingridience it is that can make you see your future husband or wife. So we will start to find out witch ingreedience it is, and that person will smell from the potion.

- Not to drink? a boy from a corner asked.

- No, Slughorn said. BUT, tomorrow you will have another chalange and the one who "winns" or knows the answer will get a bit of it.

I could feel the excitment for tomorrow, and I think everybody was that excited.

- So, proffesor Slughorn said. Sit down and think.

Everybody walked slowly to some tabeles and I walked after Goyel, Katie and Malfoy. As we all sat down, you could see again that Goyel and Katie only had eyes for eachother, and that Malfoy was taking out a book to look for the ingredience. He oppened it and put it between us, so that I could read it to.

- But I allready have a book..., I said.

- Right, Malfoy said. But I thought you maybe wanted to look in a cleaner book. He looked up at me. I looked down in the book, than back at him. He was still watching me. We were sitting on the same bench so I got closer so that I could see what stod in the book. I could feel a smile in my checks, but I tried not to smile. 

We looked and looked in the book, for everything that had with feuter to do, but we couldn't find annything. Goyle and Katie had also started to look, but they gave up quickli. 

I leande forward. My eyes were already tired. 

- Come on, don't give up, I could hear Malfoy say. We'll find it soon.

- Admit it, I said. Nobody has found it in the book. I'm sure it doesn't even stand in the book.

Malfoy closed the book and put his hands in his head.

- I wish we had a crystal ball, Katie said. And than it hit me. It seemed to hit Malfoy to, because he opened his eyes big and stared at Katie.

- What? she said.

- You are a genious! I said. 

- But what did I...

- It must be crystal ball! Malfoy said and we turned to each other.

- Smal pieces! Or even melted pieces!

Malfoy and I ran to Mr. Slughorn who was sitting and looking in some paper on his desk.

- We know it professor! Malfoy screamed.

- It must be some peace of a crystal ball, I said as Slughorn looked at us.

- Well, infact yes, Slughorn said. 

Everybody gathered around the love potion and Malfoy and I was standing on the right side of professor Slughorn.

- Well, so here we had some who know what the potion contains so that you can see into the futer by drinking the potion. Belle would you like to tell us?

- Yes sir, I answered. It must be a part of a crystal ball. 

- Excactly, he said. Sw witch one of you want to smell the potion. Only one of you.

I looked at Malfoy who was smiling.

- Belle should try it, he said and looked at me.

- Well, than coem here Belle, professor Slughorn said who was already standing at the potion.

I walked nervously to the potion, not knowing what I was going to smell. What if I wouldn't smella annything.

As he opened the cap of the couldron, I smeled a very strange smell, but at the same time verry... beautiful.

- So tell the class what you smell..., Slughorna said.

- Well, I said, trying to find words for what I was smelling. Something icy and colled, but I also smell a warm fire, and a rose....

Suddenly I felt a verry strange smell, and I aded it to my sentence;

- ... and chicken.

I knew I shouldn't have said that, because everybody burst into laughter.
