🧙🏻‍♂️imagine: love potion

You sat quietly at your Y/H/H (Your Hogwarts House) table while reading some of the books about Hogwarts History,  you love learning more about Hogwarts . It was one of those usual days, your best friend chatting you about the Yule Ball.  To be honest weren't planning on going but by the looks of your best friend she's gonna drag you out from your dorm.

" You know I'm really excited about the Yule Ball." making you roll your eyes, it was the 5th time she said this today.

" I know, that's for the fifth time—"

"Hey, Y/B/N (Your best friend name)." you and the girl seating beside you, turn to the Scottish Quidditch keeper of Gryffindor. Both brows raised as he sat beside your best friend.

"How are ya doin,Y/N?" before you could even comprehend what was happening Oliver Wood was asking your best friend on the Yule Ball.

"W-Well, I think I should probably go? See you later," and whispered to your best friend, "you better tell me about this later."

Oliver smiled friendly at you, making you almost falter forgotting how good looking he was like what other lads said, you nodded and excused yourself.

Quickly, you were about to start on your way out when you bumped with someone. You become flustered when your eyes met his hazel brown eyes and his usual hufflepuff scarf.

"Oh, dear. I apologize about that—" Joshua paused when he took a glance at you.

"It's okay." you were about to pick the books when he reached out and stood in front of you. You could hear giggles and jokes behind the handsome hufflepuff boy, but he just dismissed it though.

" Y/N, right?" your head went up and down. Joshua extends his arms to give you your books when his hand touches yours.

"Yeah... Joshua, right?" of course, no one wouldnt not notice this hufflepuff boy. Joshua chuckles and was about to start a conversation, when you dismissed it by waving a hand from him and saying see you later.

"W-Wait—" Joshua met your back as you quickly walk away all blushing and trying to remember a spell on how to calm your heart that was beating so fast.

"You know you could just ask her out, right?" Joshua hit his friend in the head and started walking but he took another glance at you, smiling.

🧙🏻‍♂️🧙🏻‍♂️🧙🏻‍♂️

Since your next class was potion, it was no wonder that love potion would be introduced to the class. Students started to fill the room, and what surprised you is that Joshua was in it.

When he caught a glance at everyone and pause at you, his cheeks burn and quickly compose himself before anyone could notice.

Professor Slughorn started while introducing the potions in front of the class.

"This one is one of the most powerful potions and at the same time quiet dangerous, which is?"

"It's love potion." you uttered remembering what you just read, earlier. Making the professor turn to you and smile, he motions you to come forward.

"Love potion, is one of the most powerful potion in the world." Professor Slughorn waited for you to explain further.

"W-Well, it is said that it has different smell according to the person whom he or she is attracted to. For example, I smell cinnamon,  old and rusty piano, parchment and... earthy smell." you finished, feeling flustered and all. Professor Slughorn compliments you, taking a step backward to hide your blushing cheeks.

You were busy trying to make your own love potion, when a familiar voice made you pause. The professor asked Joshua about his love potion, and explains. But you couldn't hear him because of the giggles of the other girls, expecting something.

🧙🏻‍♂️🧙🏻‍♂️🧙🏻‍♂️

You clearly heard the girls in your dorm giggling and fantasizing about their dates on the Yule Ball.

"Hey, Y/N." a first year boy snapping you to reality, stating that there was someone asking you to meet up.

It was strange because you didn't know this boy, and you were waiting at the wooden bridge for someone who you didn't know. Maybe it's a prank, of course it is. Snapping you to reality, someone nudged you to your shoulder.

It was Joshua.

"Uhm... Hey..." he greeted, his curly brown hair puffs out his hair as the wind blows.

" I know it's strange, I asked a first year to summon you and..." there Joshua pushed a white rose in front of you.

" I know, it's sudden but... Here, I'll tell you what I smell with my love potion." He pulled a cramped small in front of him. He made an embarrassing cough and started.

"It's... uhm, lots of old books, vanilla, scented ink and... broomstick handle." he finished. Joshua look up and waited for you to say something.

"I did not smell like a broomstick." you joked making Joshua's nervous expression fades.

"And I do not smell like piano." he points back making the two of you laugh. You didn't acknowledge that it was already curfew, you were about to say goodbye to him when his hand gripped yours.

"Do you want to go out to the Ball with me?" Joshua asked, shyly. Joshua didn't know what he'll do after almost confessing his feeling for you right now.

"Sure, I would love to." a wide smile escapes your lips, making Joshua let out a sigh in relief and joy.
