Remus had never thought about what amortentia would smell like to him so when he raised his hand in class to answer he nearly choked on it.

"Does anyone know what amortentia smells like?" Professor Slughorn asked. Remus raised his hand and the teacher called his name.

"It smells different to each person according to their likes. For example mine smells like-" He leaned closer and took a whiff before coughing. "Chocolate and parchment and..." He stopped. The third smell, the one that had made him choke wet dog? He moved back.

"And?" Professor Slughorn prodded for the third thing Remus had offered.

"And...ah..." He had to come up with a quick answer. "Gingerbread." He said. Gingerbread? He hated gingerbread. He saw some girls giggle and frowned. Each marauder, except Peter of course, had their 'fan club' of giggling girls who wanted nothing more than to win the affections of their marauder. These girls were only in this class because Remus was. He had no doubt they would show up tomorrow smelling overwhelmingly of chocolate, parchment, and gingerbread. Remus cringed at the though. He really hated gingerbread.
