Drarry One Shots

Amortentia

I know, I know, every Harry Potter one-shots must have an Amortentia chapter, just bare with me.

Also, ik this isn't how Amortentia works but hey-

Harry's POV

Potions, with Snape, with Slytherins. Not My favourite way to start the day. 

"Potter!" My eyes quickly looked to my left, then up to meet a pair of silvery-grey ones, did I forget to mention I was making Amortentia with Malfoy? No? Well, I was making Amortentia with Malfoy. It took me a second to realise that I had almost over-stirred the potion and took the spoon out of the cauldron in-front of me.

"Oops." I made sure to add some extra sarcasm into my reply, only earning me a raised eyebrow

"Well, at least we're done now." The blonde finally commented, one hand on his chin, the other on his hip, creating some distance between us, and thank Merlin for that. I swear all I could smell was that fancy cologne he wore. 

Only now did I look properly into the cauldron, which indeed, looked to have turned out perfectly 

Trying to distract myself from his cologne, I took a deep breath of the potion. It helped a little, the potion smelt of treacle tart and a broomstick handle. Although smelling the brew had helped a little, the Slytherin had moved his arm and was much closer to me. Now pretty much all i could smell was that stupid cologne mixed with treacle tart and broomstick handles- I don't think i'll ever admit it out loud, but damn, it smelt amazing. 

It wouldn't occur to me until later, that you're supposed to smell three things in the Amortentia potion.  

I now turned to look at Malfoy, who was smelling the potion, frowning.

"Potter, honestly, how much cologne do you insist on putting on in the morning?" He muttered, stepping back a little. I shrugged, unwilling to start a fight right now. He gave me a sideways glance then moved to rest his elbows on the desk. As much as I didn't want to, I had to admit, he wasn't bad-looking what so ever. With his cloak thrown over the back of a chair and sleeves rolled up, I could see his full body a little more clearly. I noticed thing that I normally wouldn't - like the way his trousers fit amazingly around his waist, or the way his arms were clearly quite toned, promising a well-made body underneath his shirt. I think it took me a minute to realise, these were thoughts I had about.. Malfoy. Bleh.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer." The blonde boy muttered, not even glancing in my direction

"Shove off Malfoy." It seemed our communication consisted of only muttering today. 

"Relax Potter. I know I'm hot, stare all you want." He finally turned his his head so he could meet my eyes, smirking.

I, shamefully, felt myself blushing and turned my gaze back to the potion. "Whatever. Ferret."

He shrugged and pulled down his rolled down his sleeves. He stood straight (I mean, what about that boy is straight?... a n y w a y) and threw his cloak over his shoulders, then pulling it on properly. I felt almost.. disappointed to see him cover up? I mean, what the hell, there's no denying his looks. Is the Amortentia getting to me? probably. 

The bell. Saved by the bell, thank merlin. Or so it thought, just as i was walking out, Malfoy managed to shove past me.

"Oi, M-"

He glanced back at me and I swear I saw him smirking. Again, being me, it took me a second to pick up the fact he had passed a small slip of paper to me as he passed.

"Meet me by the lake at 12, we need to talk"

I was skeptical, but, what the hell. Let's give this a shot.

*~Time Skip: 7 yrs later~*

"Hey Potter?" I said, looking up at my blonde husband, currently sitting curled up by my side.

"Hm?"

"Do you remember the day you asked me out?"

"Like it was yesterday." He smiled

"What did you smell in the Amortentia?"

"Hm. Well, I think it was green apple and clean laundry. What about you?"

"Treacle tart and a broomstick handle, but it only just occurred to me..."

"Yes?"

"How many things are you supposed to smell?"

The blonde man seemed to catch on and smiled at me "three"

"So, what was the third?"

Draco paused for a second "For me, it was you."

I hesitated "How do you know?"

"I distinctly remember you wearing too much cologne, but I believe some of that was the potion."

I chuckled "It all makes sense now, it was the same for me."

He he smiled warmly and pulled me closer to me, arm around my shoulder.

"Love you Raven."

"Love you Dragon" I leant up and kissed Draco gently, knowing how long I had wanted him, how long it took me realise this and how amazing it felt when I knew he was mine.
