You smell like peppermint
Chapter 1: You smell like peppermint
I walked next to my brother towards my favorite class, potions. Not just because Severus, my godfather, taught it. But because it was interesting.
"Have you asked out Blaise yet?" I asked Draco.
"No." He said, glaring at me He had a massive crush on Blaise, and it got worse after they both presented.
I sighed. He would get to it eventually. I was a bit jealous of Draco. He was a Alpha. He didn't have to worry about people who would try to forcibly mate with him.
I was an Omaga. Kind of uncommon, but not odd. 3 other people in my year were Omagas. Before I left school, Mother had given me The Talk.
Again.
Mother felt I really needed to know ALL the aspects of being an Omaga, mating, and maturing, more commonly called presenting. While we were talking Father and Severus had been whispering in Father's office. They did that a lot. Though I didn't know what they talked about.
As we entered the classrooms I saw Severus, right now Professor Snape, sniff the air. That was weird. He quickly walked over to me.
"You will be presenting soon. Get to the hospital wing." He said. I nodded. Severus was an Alpha, and able to smell when an Omaga was about to present.
I hurried to the hospital wing. By the time I got there I felt dizzy. Madem Pompey rushed over.
"Are you alright?" She asked.
"I feel dizzy..." I managed before I fainted.
A while later I woke up. I sat up carefully and looked around. Severus was sitting on a chair next to me, reading.
"You're awake." He said, smiling. "You smell like peppermint." I looked at him confused.
"What?" I asked.
"Omagas have distinctive smells after they mature. You smell like peppermint."
"Oh, okay." I said. "Everything smells different now."
"That's normal. It will take a while to get used to."
I sniffed. "You smell like dark chocolate." He looked at me.
"Most people just say chocolate, and don't pick up that it's dark." He said surprised.
"Hm." I hummed and leaned back.
"Madem Pomphery said you can go to dinner."
"That's good."
"Let's go" Severus pulled me up and offered me his arm.
"Shall we?" He said. I laughed and grabbed his arm. As we walked to Great Hall I felt excited to tell Draco I had finally presented.
