1Monday~Smell

Percy sat in the back of the classroom. N.E.W.T. Potions was hard so the class was substantially smaller. Four tables each holding a cauldron filled with a potion they were to learn that year were positioned around the room. A substitute was teaching and had placed the class at tables alphabetically. A side effect of having Weasley as his last name. Tobias Zenley was absent which ment Percy was alone with Oliver Wood. Only Dorm mate and male Gryffindor in his year. Not that great at Potions either. The professor a Mr. Philinus was discussing the potion at their table.

"Take note of those rising swirls, and the color class. This is Amortentia. A love potion that is currently the strongest made. It causes a severe infatuation or obsession. No love potion can create actual love but some of the most dangerous ones that the Ministry prevents from being taught come close. Hence why they're the most dangerous. Amortentia has a distinctive difference from most potions. Ms. Crowley please pay attention. Notes to friends should be written outside of this class. Where was I? Oh-yes. Amortentia gives off a smell or smells that a person likes. Meaning most people will smell different things. Mr. Baxlebub please return that vial's contents back into that cauldron--"

Percy leaned forward and sniffed. He could smell books, freshly mown grass or was it the after it rains smell or both mixed together, and...What was the last scent? It was familiar.

"Since Mr. Baxlebub wants attention so badly we'll move to his table. This potion is--"

Percy tuned Professor Philinus out. It was just so annoying and irritating that he couldn't recognize the last smell. The smell intensified as Oliver leaned over.

"Did Professor Philinus just say Felix Felicis is highly volatile during the first trimester or that we'd be finishing it second semester?"

"Not sure", Percy whispered as Oliver leaned back taking with him the mysterious smell. It was just a crush. He didn't love Oliver Wood. Did he?

A/N: Since it's mentioned in the rest of the fics the last smell is oranges and cinnamon with an undertone of vanilla.
