A/N: I decided to delete all my stories except the completed poem because I felt like I was forcing myself to write them and I felt guilty for not. I may rewrite some sometime but for now, RIP.
I decided to do a collection of oneshots so that way if I stop, it won't be as obvious. That, and the fact that I'm addicted to Jily Oneshot Fanfics.
Hope you enjoy!
All will be set in 7th year unless I say otherwise.
It will always say who's points of view but this '~' means 3rd person.
#1: Amortentia
"So," Professer Slughorn begins. "Can anyone tell me what this potion is?"
Lily's had shot up and Slughorn called on her.
"Amortentia is the World's Strongest Love Potion, but it doesn't actually create 'love' it creates 'obsession'. Amortentia smells like whatever you find 'attractive' or something you 'love'. It is known for it's pinkish colour and the swirly steam that rises from it."
"Correct!" beamed Slughorn. "Ten points to Gryffindor!"
Lily smiled back and started to daydream- though she knew she shouldn't. She wondred what the potion smelled like to her and also wondered if she'd ever find out.
Slughorn was still speaking and he mention the words brew and Amortentia. Lily sat up at this and discovered that they would be making it in pairs. She immeadiately glanced at her best friend, Marlene, and signalled them being partners.
Marlene grinned evilly at her, shook her head and partnered up with their other best friend, Alice.
Lily had no idea what she was playing at until all had been partnered up... except her and James.
"Ah! Lily, you go with Potter!" Slughorn called merrily.
James POV
What's with the names? Ol' Sluggy calls Evans, Lily, but me Potter?
But that doesn't matter because I'll be making the World's Strongest Love Potion with Lily Evans.
She doesn't seem so pleased though.
Lily POV
This is what Marl and Al had in mind. I do NOT fancy Potter.
I growl at my two best friends under my breath and Potter must've heard because he looks slightly taken back.
We go sit at our couldron and start to gather the ingredients.
Half an hour later and the unlikely pair are more than midway through their potion and tension is running high.
"What are you doing James?"
"Putting in the Snake Clove, like it says." James snapped.
"That's a clove of garlic, you idiot. We're trying to make a love potion, not a potion to ward off Vampires!" Lily shot back.
Five minutes later, Lily let out a sigh of relief. They were finished. Now all they had to do was wait five more minutes for it to simmer before they could smell it.
Time passed agonisingly slowly. Lily must've checked her watch about ten times a minute.
Finally the wait was over. She hopped out of her seat with James following suit.
"I can't smell anything." James whined.
"Well, maybe if you didn't use so much shampoo and conditioner this morning we'd be able to smell it," Lily retorted.
"Me? What about your perfume? You have so much on, your giving me an asthma attack."
"Don't be ridiculous James, I ra-"
"You what? Made the potion wrong?"
"No! I ra-"
"Ah! What have we got here?" Slughorn interrupted. "Perfect! I can especially smell the pinapple. Fifty points to Gryffindor."
James looked dumbstruck.
"As I was saying, I ran out of perfume last week." Lily continued.
"Yeah, well I didn't shower because Sirius was hogging the bathroom." James shot back.
The pair looked at each other, eyes wide.
"Don't," Lily said before James could say anything, but he didn't.
All he did was grin at her and soon enough, Lily found herself grinning back.
Thanks to all people who read this. Inspired by a textpost I saw on Instagram and by the many Jily Fanfics I have read.
Please review/fav/follow/vote/comment whatever. I'll also take requests.
