Hello, my name is Holly Flint. I am the younger sister of Marcus Flint. I am also in Slytherin. I play quidditch at school. My position is the keeper. Do not judge me based on any of the facts that I just stated. You see I was disowned by my family because I fell in love with one of the Weasley children. I fell in love with Percy Weasley who is in the same year as my big brother. I am the same age as Percy's twin brothers, Fred and George. In my year, the two others that joined Slytherin were Adrian Pucey and Cassius Washington. Both are boys. I became close to Angelina Johnson and Alicia Spinnet even though they are both in Gryffindor. I am not close to Patricia Stimpson who is in Ravenclaw. Both Angelina and Alicia are half-bloods. My parents were not thrilled about me befriending them; but I explained to them that there were not that many girls in any of the houses. So, my parents tolerated it. Through Angelina and Alicia, I became friends with Fred and George Weasley. Fred and George are the beaters on the Gryffindor team. While Angelina and Alicia are two of the chasers (side note: my big brother is one of the chasers for the Slytherin team). Usually, I would sit at the Gryffindor table, Fred and George introduced me to Percy. Little did I know that this introduction was going to change my life forever.
Now, I am in my fifth year at Hogwarts. I am fifteen years old. I have been dating Percy Weasley who is in his seventh year. My parents have disowned me for dating a blood traitor. The Weasleys are a pureblood family but do associate and befriend half-bloods and muggleborns. I was disowned over the summer; and I took the knight bus to the Burrow. The Burrow is the one place that I knew I could go. The Weasley family welcomed me with open arms.
It is Christmastime. Percy and I are snuggling by the fireplace; and we are covered by a Gryffindor red knitted blanket. I believe that Molly knitted it. I mean like really that woman knits the entire family, significant others, and close friends a sweater every year for Christmas. This year I received a Slytherin green knitted sweater with a big silver "H" on the front. (I must admit at first Percy's parents were nervous about him dating me who was in Slytherin. Percy's younger brothers and younger sister said that I basically am an honorary Gryffindor that I just sleep in the Slytherin dormitory and play for Slytherin's quidditch team. Over time his parents loved me like their own daughter).
Percy and I are reading my favorite book, Hogwarts: A History. Well, I am reading it aloud to Percy. Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny are outside playing quidditch I believe with Bill's girlfriend, Fleur, and Harry Potter. Percy keeps smelling my hair. I ask, "Are you smelling my hair?" Percy chuckles and says, "Love, it smells wonderful." I say, "The smell is vanilla and lavender." Percy smiles. I ask, "What?" Percy says, "My amortentia smells like vanilla, lavender, and coconut." I laugh and say, "I use coconut body wash." Percy nods and says, "I know, hen."
Some time goes by, I notice that Percy is asleep. I am almost asleep as well. I see Arthur and Molly walk in and they are staring at us. They walk over. I turn bright red. Arthur chuckles. Molly says, "I do not know about what Arthur feels but I know this you make Percy so happy. I have never seen him so relaxed around anyone but you. I approve." I say, "Thank you, Mrs. Weasley." Molly says, "I told you so many times, Holly, to call me Molly." I smile and say, "Alright, Molly." Arthur says, "I approve as well. You two are great together." I smile.
After Arthur and Molly go back outside, I cuddle into Percy; and I smell him. I recognize his scent as my amortentia. He smells like books, hair gel, and some sort of cheap cologne. I smile from ear to ear. Charlie walks in and asks, "Holly, what is it?" I say, "Charlie, Percy told me I smelled like his amortentia. Us fifth years just had that class with Professor Snape before the break. I am smiling because Percy smells like my amortentia." Charlie laughs and asks, "What does it smell like?" I say, "My amortentia smells like books, hair gel, and some sort of cheap cologne. Percy said his smells like vanilla, lavender, and coconut." Charlie grins and runs outside. I guess that he is going to tell the rest of the Weasleys. I sigh and fall asleep on top of Percy.
