Monster - Skillet
-Lily POV-
I take a deep breath.
I mean, it isn't that surprising. We are soulmates... but I mean, soulmates would mean I love him in the future! Me smelling him in the amortentia would mean like... now!
James looks at me. "Are you okay? What did you smell?"
"Oh... what?" I ask. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine."
"What did you smell?" James repeats.
"Oh... uh, parchment, the beach, and petunias," I say, hoping James will let it pass even though most people smell four things.
James studies me, as if trying to figure me out, and I hold my breath. "Okay," he finally says slowly.
I let out that breath.
I see Slughorn come over to our desk. "Ah! A perfect amortentia potion! But no surprise there, as we have my best witch brewing! I'd say that deserves 10 points to Gryffindor."
"Thanks, Professor," I say. James agrees. Slughorn lumbers off, humming a tune I don't recognize.

Not much later, when the bell rings, I immediately rush out of the classroom without a glance back.
I hear someone run after me, and I slow down when I see it's Marlene.
"What happened?" Marlene asks.
I groan. "I... um..."
"Go on," she pushes.
"I smelled James in the amortentia," I murmur.
"What a surprise."
"Marlene!" I exclaim, and I push her arm. "You're supposed to help me with these things!"
"Well, what do you want me do?"
"I don't know! I need to know what to do," I tell her. "So... what do I do?"
"Nothing," she answers blankly.
I sigh. "You're no help."
"You love me really," she replies with a grin, and then murmurs, "and apparently James too."
Marlene bolts down the hallway before I can decipher her words, but once I do, I run after her, swinging my bag like a club.
"MARLENE!"
