"James Potter, I told you not to put that in yet!" Lily Evans said with a sigh.

It was the third time this week Slughorn had paired them together in hopes of James improving in the class, but she was sure he was doing worse.

James was laughing. "Calm down Evans, its fine. The potion still looks the way we need it to."

She huffed as he continued to brew their batch of amortentia, anxious he would bring down her grade. She was always flawless when brewing a potion and he was just so careless.

Slughorn came around to the table and checked the progress, he nodded with a smile and moved onto the next group.

"See, told you." James said with a smirk.

She rolled her eyes but couldn't hide the faint smile on her lips.

Together they finished the potion and were putting the final touches on the essay to turn into the professor. In the essay they had to explain the exact steps to the recipe and the final result. They also had to describe what they smelled.

"So Prongs, what do you smell?" Sirius yelled from another table.

James thought a moment. "Hmmm. I smell...slightly fruity. Maybe strawberry? But also parchment paper, and flowers. "

Sirius nodded slowly and shot a look at Remus who was smirking and shaking his head. "What do you smell Evans?"

"Something natural, woodsy." She took a moment to inhale again and think. "I can't tell. God James why do you wear so much cologne? I can't smell anything else!"

"I do not wear that much!" He shot back.

She sighed. "You are impossible. Just smell yourself! Its all anyone can smell."

Sirius and Remus were rolling in their chairs laughing, the rest of the students were whispering to each other, and Slughorn was watching with surprise and subtle smile at what was happening.

"Like you're any better. You put so much product in your hair that its permanently clogged my nose.'' James fired.

Lily was about to fire back, when she realized that she didn't do anything with her hair today. She had bathed the night before and just put her hair in a braid for classes. But he was right. Her shampoo was strawberry scented...

James laughed. "Hah! You know i'm right! Merlin I didn't even put cologne on today"

He sat down in his chair, feeling victorious when he remembered what todays potion was. His felt the heat rush to his face and glanced at Lily to see the same look of realization in her eyes. He pulled his attnetion away from her and noticed the rest of the class staring and giggling.

"Class dismissed!" Slughorn yelled with a chuckle.

James grabbed his books and ran out of the classroom, not even waiting for Sirius and Remus. He hid behind a pillar by the library and waited. Soon enough he saw Lily walking down the corridor. As she passed, he reached out and pulled her back behind the pillar with him.

"Bloody Hell, James! You scared me!" She shrieked.

He chuckled. "Lily Evans, I'm gonna marry you one day."

"Wha..."

She didn't get the chance to respond. He pulled her close to him and kissed her, gently but passionately. She sunk into him and embraced the fact that she was madly in love with James Potter.
