Hi! :3 Welcome to my new story! I don't know how well it'll do, but I saw a bunch of headcanons I really loved and I wanted to use them. All these are unconnected unless specified otherwise. There are AU's, aftermaths, and pretty much everything else! Specific storyline details will be on each chapter. Thanks!
This follows the canon storyline and is set in seventh year.
"Black and McKinnon, Lupin and Pettigrew, Potter and… Evans." Lily Evans groaned as Professor Slughorn paired people up for Potions. "And… Evans? Describe what we are brewing."
Lily sighed "Amortentia. It's the most powerful love potion in the world. It's distinctive for its mother-of-pearl sheen, and steam rises from the potion in spirals. Amortentia smells different to each person, according to what attracts them."
Slughorn nodded gleefully, "Ten points to Gryffindor! Now pair up and work on the potion! Remember to follow the directions CAREFULLY."
Lily trudged over to the marauders who slapped James on the back and went to their respective partners. "C'mon Potter, let's do this. And don't you dare mess me up."
James Potter leaned back in his chair and grinned lazily. "Head girl all goody-goody hmm? Then you won't mind doing the potion yourself."
Lily glared at him, "I'll tell Slughorn that you did nothing."
James winked at her. "Nothing a can of crystallized pineapple can't fix."
Lily steamed and got their ingredients, while James flirted with Amelia Bones. Lily felt a prick in her stomach, but figured it was those expired sweets that Marlene had insisted were fine.
She set to work, prepping ingredients and following instructions, trying to ignore James staring over her shoulder.
The potion turned to a glittering pink color, and spiral steam was floating up from it's surface. James and Lily both leaned into the cauldron.
"I can't smell anything!" James exclaimed. He was more surprised than angered, as Lily had never brewed a potion wrong.
"There's no way! I'm sure I got this right." Lily answered angrily
"Obviously not!" James fired back.
"Well maybe I could smell something if you didn't use so much conditioner!" It was clogging up her nose and she took a step back.
"Oh really?" James recoiled. "I wouldn't talk. All the perfume you're wearing is all I smell!"
Marlene and Sirius stared at each other in shock and then glee as the other two continued to banter.
"Well it's-" Lily stopped abruptly, and realization suddenly dawned on her. She waited a couple of seconds until there was an identical look on James' face. The two just stared at eachother in shock and the class was totally silent.
Marlene and Sirius took this as their cues.
"Lily, I used up the last of your perfume last week."
"James, You didn't shower this morning."
The class let out a collective gasp and both James and Lily turned beet red.
Professor Slughorn just seemed baffled by the whole thing. "W-well then."
