Our Lil' Secret - Wolfstar

Potions

About a week later, their double agent, Sev (wink wink nudge nudge) informed them that the students were about to put their plan into action. He did, however, refuse to tell them what the plan was.

Later that day Sirius and Remus stumbled into potions late, having gotten caught up in a little make out session in the bathroom. Everyone smirked at them, even Slughorn, seeing Remus's hair all messy and Sirius's shirt misbuttoned. Still, none of them expected any of that quite yet, seeing as their plan only started at lunch. The two sat down next to each other.

"Today, class, we will be working on perfecting a formula for amortentia. This class's OWL's are next week, so you should be studying but we will not be prepping in class yet."

All of the class quickly pulled out their books and cauldrons. Remus pulled his book out and placed it in the middle of the table because Sirius had clearly forgotten his. Sirius leaned close to Remus's ear and whispered, "Thanks, baby boy." He quietly nipped Remus's earlobe, causing Remus to shudder.

They decided to just make one potion because Slughorn told them to work with partners. Remus grabbed the ingredients.

"Alright. Ashwinder eggs?"

"Check." Remus said as he handed Sirius the ingredient, who added them and stirred them in as they came.

"Rose thorns?"

"Check."

"Peppermint?"

"Check."

"Powdered moonstone?"

"Check."

"Pearl dust?"

"Check."

"Rose petals?"

"Ohhh... fuck." Remus cussed as he realized he'd forgotten the final ingredient. He quickly jogged over to the supplies and grabbed the rose petals, returning and placing them in Sirius's hand before he put it back down (haha you guys were all expecting some drama there).

Sirius stirred the potion as the book said. The thick liquid began turning pearly shiny. The smoke curled upward in thick tendrils in a spiral until it hit the ceiling and joined the hovering cloud of smoke.

Finally Sirius finished. They were the first done and Slughorn called out to them.

"Sirius, Remus, would you boys like to tell us what you smell? You will, course, smell what your true love smells like."

They exchanged a nervous glance. They had only been casual so far, and both could easily smell each other already. They were scared they would make the other mad.

Remus went first. He couldn't lie on the spot when facing Sirius, so he told the truth.

"I smell . . . dog fur, and ... leather."

He looked up and saw Sirius staring at him, open mouthed.

Remus quickly hid his face in his hands, tears already steaming, and ran from the classroom.

After Remus left, Sirius started crying. "Why did he leave?" He asked no one in particular, even though he was the center of everyone's attention, even the Slytherins. "I smell chocolate, and old books, and cinnamon. I smell Moony." Everyone pretty easily guessed who Moony was.

There was silence for a moment, until finally the 'teacher's assistant,' a five year old Slytherin who was too young to take classes but still at Hogwarts because her parents were dead and she had been at the same orphanage Tom Riddle used to go to and Dumbledore really didn't need another Voldemort right now, spoke up.
