Lily's POV

"Wow marvelous Lily! Beautiful! Thank-you very much!" Professor Slughorn said very proud of me.

"I think I am going to name it Francis." He said and I smiled to him.

"You're welcome sir." I just gave him in a bowl of water that had a lily flower in it. Once I casts a spell and the flower petal turned into a beautiful fish. I felt the need to give him a present because I was in his Slug Club and because he has done so much for me and he is also a great teacher to me. I sat in a table next to Marlene and Alice waiting for the class to enter so we could get started.

"Good morning class, well this year you will be taking your NEWTS and leaving Hogwarts to start your independent lives as a witch or wizard. So please everyone make your best of this year, enjoy it and have fun. But not too much fun. This year we will repeat the things we learned throughout the years so you can remember how to make your potions. So starting today, boy and girl preferable and make the Amortentia potion and you need to write what you smell in a piece of parchment don't worry only I will see them. But before we start can please someone tell me what dose this potion dose?

Immediately my hand shoot to the air cause I already knew the answer. But Slughorn didn't call on me but on James who was waving his wand with little sparks coming out of it without a care in the world.

"Potter, can you tell me what are the effects of the potion Amortentia and about love potions?" Professor asked him.

"Of course professor. Amortentia it's the strongest love potion in the world. It is recognizable by its motherly-of-pearl sheen and by the spiraling steam that rises from it. The smell of the potion varies from person to person and is dependent upon what each individual finds appealing. Love potions ostensibly cause the drinker to fall in love with the person who gave him or her the potion. However, true love cannot be produced through artificial means, and the feelings that love potions create are more like obsession than affection." James answered and surprisingly got it right. Even caught Professor Slughorn by surprised as well as me. My mouth was shapes in a circle. Clearly no one was expecting that. How on earth can he get the answer right and not paying attention?

"Wow, my boy! Excellent 15 points to Gryffindor." Slughorn said, "now get in pairs in boy and girl and start mixing and making." When he finished talking Sirius and James walked up to me.

"Evans can I pretty please be your partner for today? I swear I will behave and do as you say." Sirius asked me. James behind him gave him a glare.

"Yes you can go and get a cauldron while I get the ingredients." I said and got up. He just made a movement like they do in the military and went for the cauldron. James went and found a new partner. I grabbed ashwinder eggs, rose thorns, peppermint, and moonstone so we could powdered it later. I grabbed the ingredients and when and sat with Sirius. Soon we stared making work and getting a little of chatting. Suddenly he asked.

"Do you fancy James?" Whoa that caught me unguarded.

"Why? I mean-in general, why would do you think that... James and I should be together?" I asked him.

"You Evans, click."

"I click?"

"You click." And with that we continued making the potion and Sirius adding a few jokes that made me laugh. Once we finished the potions I got a pice of parchment and a quill and started to smell.

First I smelled backed cookies, my mom always makes them. Secondly I smell parchment, because I love reading and doing my work from school.

Thirdly I smelled fresh moaned grass, my dad loved gardening and keeping the garden cleaned. And lastly I smelled something I didn't knew what it was, it smelled quite familiar the wood cologne, but it could't be right? It smelled like James. Oh my god I can't believe he is one of the things I love. Sirius was watching me smell more and more until he covered up the cauldron.

"So what did you smelled? Did you smelled Jamsie?"

I turned a bright red to my cheeks and I think that answers his question because he whispered in my ear.

"Don't worry I won't tell." I felt relieved and sigh. "Well what did you smelled?"

"Well Evans I smelled chicken as it is my favorite food, mischief and Mrs. Potters food." He said and I nodded. We called Professor Slughorn and was proud of our work together. We gave him our parchment with our names on it and left the classroom.
