"I wonder what I'm gonna smell!" Hermione whispered to you as you both waited in line to get a whiff of the new potion the class was learning about.

"Me too, I feel like it's gonna taunt me till I find the person that matches the scent though" You responded, nerves and excitement flowing through your veins.

Sooner or later it was finally your turn. You took a deep breath and pushed your nose closer to the cauldron. Instantly, you were met with a strong scent of coffee, fresh books and an oak wood type aroma. It was very pleasant to say the least.

"Mine smelled of rain, peppermint and something else I cant quite put my finger on but nonetheless, I am in love with the smell" Hermione explained as you both paced back to your seats.

"Mine smell's interesting, good don't get me wrong but familiar.." You said as you stared ahead  at the rest of the line, trying to gather where you had smelled the oak wood before.

"Maybe oak wood is just common?" You tried to state but it came out as more of a question. "And if that's the case, that blows! Coffee? Books? Wood? They all are so basic" 

"Mm I honestly have no idea how common oak wood is, either way it'll be alright" Hermione stated, giving you a small pat on your shoulder before turning her attention back to her notes as you continued to just stare ahead and see that Ron Weasley was leaning in to the cauldron.

"Oh my god" you stated, it all making sense. 

"What?" Hermione questioned but after no answer from you, she followed your gaze to the red headed boy.

"No way!" she exclaimed, joy laced within her words once she caught on.

"You have to find out what his amortentia smelled like!" Hermione gushed once you two were in your dorm, making you roll your eyes.

"No! What if it's not a scent correlated to me? Ron and I have been friends for years, I doubt he's thought about me like that" You testified even though truth is, your heart couldn't help but flutter at the thought of his amortentia smelling like you. You had developed the biggest crush on him a year ago after you two stayed up studying one night. It was so calm and comfortable. You had then realized just how attractive he truly was and how well you two got along. 

"Oh come on, he's a guy. He has definitely thought about being with you before AND have you not noticed how his whole demeanor changes when you're around? He's less of a git and actually quite tolerable" Hermione explained as you just scoffed.

"'Mione even when I'm around you're arguing with him over how much of an idiot he is!" You shot back, thinking back to all the times you three were together.

"Key word, less. Anyways, I don't know why you're trying to negate it. If anything, you should want to know what his amortentia smelled like. There's a strong possibility you guys could be a match whether you admit it to me or not and we both know, deep down you're just as curious as me." 

You hated when she was right. You were dying to figure out if your suspicion was correct. Scared as hell but the excitement and curiosity ultimately weighed out the cons.

"Fine!" You blurt out, coming to terms that there was only one option and it was to simply ask the boy. 

"YAY! I'm so excited, he's down in the common room with Harry right now" Hermione stated, winking at you.
