Chapter 1
Evan pov
Evan was almost finished with the day, all he had left was potions. When he arrived at the classroom however the only tables left were next to Potter and his group of friends.
Evan rolled his eyes but sat down with his friends at the remaining table.
"Today, we will be learning about Amortentia" Slughorn said. There were some mutters of excitement around the room when he said that. Evan rolled his eyes again. "Really, a love potion?"
"Yes" said Regulus "They have to teach it. Plus apparently there's a chance it will be part of the end of year exams."
Evan rolled his eyes for a third time.
"How do you know everything?" He said. Regulus just smiled rather unnervingly at him and then turned away. While Slughorn was going on about safety and properties of the potion Evan started to look round the classroom at everyone there, some people he recognised and a lot he didn't.
He looked towards the table next to his and his eyes fell upon James Potter. James Potter who he hated. James Potter with the stupid red converse. James Potter with the round glasses. James Potter with the amazing hair. James Potter with the perfect lips. James potter who he hated...
He noticed at some point that people had begun moving about and getting into groups. He ended up in a group with Barty and Dorcas who were already gathering the ingredients and equipment they needed.
He spent the lesson making the potion (and occasionally glancing at Potter) and by the end of the lesson they had successfully made Amortentia.
"Well, who's gonna smell it then?" Barty said with a wide grin on his face. "I vote Rosie"
"Me too" said Dorcas
"No" said Evan glaring at the two of them, but they just stared at him as if he already lost the arguement. Evan accepted his fate and stepped forward towards the cauldron and inhaled.
"Well Rosie what do you smell?" Barty questioned.
"Ummmm eucalyptus and broom polish?" He replied "I think anyway, I might be wrong"
"Wonder who that could be" said Barty looking puzzled.
"Time to pack away" Slughorn said.
Evan put his things back in his bag and left the room.
James pov:
"Sooooo prongs who'd you smell in the potion?" Sirius asked.
"I'm not sure, it smelt familiar but I don't know who it would be" James said with a sigh.
"Well what did it smell like?" Marlene questioned. "Ummm burnt wood, coconut and vanilla?"
Dorcas, who was sat in Marlene's lap, sat up suddenly with wide eyes, James who noticed this asked if she was alright, to which she quickly nodded and changed the subject by asking Lily what she smelt in the amortentia.
"Oh I smelt flowers and freshly baked bread" Lily said, James laughed. "That sounds like a certain someone we know" Knowing fully about Lily's crush on Pandora Rosier. Lily shot him a look that he knew was telling him to shut up, James knew better than to question her and shut his mouth. Everyone else who was asked had smelt their partners in the potion.
Later, in his dorm, James was left wondering about the amortentia. Who could it possibly be? And why did Dorcas react like that?
