A/N: For the Nov 2014 "cinnamon" DMHG Challenge community on LJ
As Draco gave his potion one final stir, the pink liquid formed an iridescent sheen, the steam rising in elegant spirals. He gave a tentative sniff and revelled in the smell of old books, cinnamon, and the forest after a spring rain. The pleasant aroma reminded him of brunette curls, soft smiles, and girlish laughter.
But when Draco realised exactly whom he was thinking of, his head shot around to the front of the room; to her. Time stopped as they gazed at each other in wide-eyed shock.
That was when Draco knew he was doomed to love Hermione Granger.
