[ two ] amortentia - d.m.

i sat in potions class, tapping a quill against my desk and bouncing my leg. draco nudged my leg with his under the table.

"stop it. that's distracting," he muttered under his breath. i rolled my eyes and looked up at him. he flashed me a charming smile. i chuckled. i have such a stupid best friend.

"whatever, malfoy," i smirked. snape swished his wand at the front of the classroom, creating a bang that silenced the class.

"today, we are doing the amortentia potion. this is the strongest love potion in existence, but has side effects. with this potion, you smell something that attracts you, possibly not romantically. you might also smell a specific person who you are attracted to." snape rambled on about the potion, acting as if love was the most boring thing ever. me and some girls in the class exchanged excited glances at what/who we would smell. snape eventually had us all gather around some cauldrons with the potions inside, and i played with my hands as i waited. i seriously didn't know what i would smell.

draco stood next to me, and he bumped his shoulder into mine, then looked away, acting innocent. i snickered and shook my head. "what do you think you'll smell?" he asked.

"i really don't know," i shrugged. "what about you?"

"i dunno, maybe galleons."

i laughed. "such a rich prick." he shoved me as we got closer to the cauldron. i stepped up to it with a few other girls.

i closed my eyes and took a deep breath in. my shoulders slouched. keeping my eyes closed, and with a slight annoyance in my tone, i sighed. "draco, back up. all i can smell is your stupid cologne and hair gel." the room got silent, and i opened my eyes. people were looking at me, and i turned around, a rock of dread settling in my stomach. draco was feet away from me, definitely not close enough to smell that strong.

my breath quickened, and my eyes filled with tears. i ran out of the classroom, my robes fluttering behind me. not only was i totally confused by the fact that i smelled my best friend in the love potion, i was also mortified that the whole class heard. my brain was completely scrambled. i heard the door open, and draco's slightly confused face popped out.

"y/n?" he asked, stepping all the way out into the hallway. i turned away from him and took a deep breath.

"what do you want?" i asked weakly, not being rude or anything.

"is that really what you smelled?" he whispered. his voice was fragile and unsure. i turned around and looked him right in the eye.

"you think i would've faked that?" i laughed quietly. he smiled softly.

"i already know i would've smelled the perfect mix of vanilla, fruity shampoo, and fresh parchment." i smiled as he described my scent in a way i've never heard. he smirked at me, and i reciprocated. we stood, giving each other cheeky grins for a minute.

suddenly, the door to the potions room opened. "mr malfoy, ms l/n, back to class. this is potions, not a gossip session."

"sorry sir." i muttered and we went back into the classroom, me and malfoy quietly laughing excitedly at our newfound mutual feelings for each other.
