***Your POV***

"Today, we are going to be learning about Amortentia," Slughorn stated, drumming his fingers on his desk as he stood by multiple cauldrons. "Amortentia is the most powerful love potion in the world. It causes a powerful infatuation from the drinker and is also considered one of the most dangerous potions ever created. Its smell varies from person to person and what they find most attractive or desire most, even if the wizard is unaware of what that might be."

Your heart flipped in your chest at the thought of smelling the potion. Ever since it was announced 2 days before, the whole 6th-year class was bouncing up and down at the thought. You stood next to your two best friends, Fred and George Weasley, anxiously waiting to get on to the 'smelling' part of today's class.

Every girl had been talking and drooling over the 'boy' they thought they would smell the past few nights. It gave you horrible anxiety and caused you to get minimal sleep, which didn't help your nerves. What did it matter, anyways? Even if you did smell someone, or someone smelt you, it's not like it would change anything. Right?

You subtly glanced up at Fred Weasley's face from the corner of your eye. You watched as his brown eyes flicker over the cauldrons, his flaming hair ruffled from his hands combing through it. His skin looked flushed in the window light, his nose casting a shadow across his splotched cheeks.

You looked at your feet, tucking a fallen lock of hair behind your ear. You denied it, but you knew exactly what you'd smell. Who you'd smell.

"Now, I'd like you to pair into partner's, and I will trust you choose wisely," you caught the last words of Slughorns speech as you came back to focus. Immediately, you watched the Twins fist bump each other and grab a cauldron. You stood still for a moment, your thoughts tripping over each other before you felt a tap on your shoulder. You turned to see Lee Jordan, another one of the Twins friends, smiling. "Partners?" He asked simply. "Yeah," you mumbled, smiling back. He went to grab the cauldron while you took a seat.

The entire time you two were making the potion, you kept sneaking peeks at Fred's table, a row across and in front of you. It wasn't long before Lee caught on to you, a mischievous smirk on his face. "What are you smiling about, Jordan?" You laughed, dropping rose thorns into the pot one by one. The potion was nearly finished. "Oh you know, just the fact that your lonely glances at Fred are rather entertaining," He spoke casually. You gaped at him, trying to find the right words to reply with. With your brain fumbling once more, you resorted to "Oh, whatever. We all know you have heart eyes for Katie Bell."

Lee scoffed. "Maybe, but at least I don't drool every time I see her. You, my friend, are ridiculous. I'm surprised that he has no clue." He gestured to Fred before plopping another Ashwinder egg into the mix. You rolled your eyes, your stomach heated up at how you could be easily read. As you both finished up the potion, bantering back and forth about who loves who, you finally recognized the pearly sheen of the potion.

Professor Slughorn wandered over, seeing the steam rise up from across the room. He examined it with a warm smile, sniffing it lightly. "Well done Y/N, Lee. Now, if you would like too, you may smell your success." He said before hobbling away. Slughorn was one of your favorite Professors, he was always helpful and enthusiastic. Now, who said Slytherins couldn't be nice?

You gestured for Lee to go first, turning away slightly as he did to sneak another glance. The twins were adding in their final ingredient as you felt your stomach flip. "Wow, that's... strange," Lee added, standing straight again. "What did you smell?" You asked excitedly, pressing your clammy palms to the cool wood of the table. You tried your best to act like you weren't going to throw up. "I smelt my mother's pastries, something Forrest-y, a couple other things, and I think the metallic smell of the announcer's mic." You laughed and rolled your eyes. "That's not surprising." Lee pushed your shoulder playfully, "Your turn."
