"Psssttttt!" A whisper called from beside me. 

I was currently in Potions, glaring hard at the book in front of me. I had managed to dodge Lee and the twins all day, but they had finally caught up and had been staring at me from the other side of the room.

I turned to Katie, "What?"

"You said yes," she stated with wide eyes.

I blinked, "Yeah? And?"

She shared a look with Alicia and Angelina before returning her gaze to me, "Well, its just- we all thought-" 

"I thought you fancied Fred," Alicia stated blankly. 

"Well obviously not since I said yes to Jeremy," I lied and returned my gaze to the recipe for our newest potion.

How fitting, I thought bitterly, for it to be a love potion. 

Before they could respond, the door slammed close and Snape waltzed to the front. 

"Turn to page 287."

The room was filled with page turning and as soon as the rustling stopped Snape began, "Today we will be learning about Amortentia. Can anyone tell me what this potion is?" 

"'S a love potion," Lee called out.

"Raise your hand Mr. Jordan. 5 Points from Gryffindor."

I rolled my eyes which Snape apparently caught sight of, "Would you like to tell me the characteristics of the potion, Ms. Y/l/n?"

"It has a mother-of-pearl sheen to it, spiraling steam, and it's supposed to smell like what you're attracted to."

Looking very displeased that I had gotten the answer correct, he turned and began to write the list of ingredients on the board. After he finished, we were dismissed to start making the potion. Alicia and Katie chatted about Quidditch while Angelina wondered over to me.

"Hey, Y/n?" 

I looked up from where I was stirring the concoction, "Yeah?"

She grinned, "You should've seen Weasley's face today when he saw you walk up to Stretton."

"Really?" I asked uninterested, but on the inside I was dying to hear what else she would say. 

"Poor boy looked like someone had slapped him. And to be honest, I've been gettin' close to doing just that."

I looked up, "Why?"

She looked around before leaning and whispering, "Surely you have to know at this point, right?"

"Know what, Ange?" I groaned. 

"He's bloody head over heels for you! Practically the whole team has been trying to shove you two together but you're both stubborn as Hippogriffs!" 

My mouth gaped as my mind tried to process this new information, "But-Bu- I thought- Hold on, I thought you fancied him!"

She laughed out loud which resulted in a nasty glare and a "Get back to work!" from Snape. 

She dipped her head back to the potion, sprinkling in some shiny scales, before turning back to me. 

"You're joking right?" 

I only stared back and her smile faltered.

"You thought I fancied Fred Weasley? Oh, come on, Y/n/n. Everyone knows you two are practically soulmates. Not to mention I've got my eye on someone else," She winked before looking quickly at George who was flicking something at Lee.
