Day 26- Amortentia word count: 489- @wolfstarmicrofic
“You’re supposed to chop the hippogriff toe! Not mince it!” James told Sirius.
“Is it not the same?” Sirius exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air.
“No!” Lily snapped from beside them. She pushed both of them out of the way, and fixed their potion.
Once the bubbling had gone down, and it started to smell a bit enticing, Sirius knew they were close. “Thanks, mate.” Sirius nodded at Lily.
Lily smiled, continuing to work alone. She was waiting for Remus.
“So what’s next?” Sirius asked James.
James looked in his potions book, adjusting his glasses. “I guess it’s just cloves, then it should smell like our one true love.” James said, sprinkling in the cloves.
Sirius sniffed as a smell started coming up. “Is that chocolate? And it smells like-“
“God, Sirius. Did you drown this place in your cologne?” Remus said, walking into the potions room. Remus had a rough moon, so he had to stay the night in the wing. Madame Pomfrey had let him sleep.
Sirius felt defensive. “No! I didn’t even have time to put on- Holy crap.”
“Holy crap.” James echoed. Lily, from the next table over, banged her head on the table.
The class went silent before settling into a quiet chatter. Remus walked up next to Lily, setting his bag down.
“What do you smell?” Whispered James. Sirius still shocked, grinned.
“It smells like chocolate and Moony’s shampoo.” Sirius said. “Does this mean he likes me back?” Sirius asked, excitedly.
“I think it does, Paddington.”
Sirius smiled softly.

“What are we making?” Remus asked Lily, looking into the cauldron.
Lily looked positively exasperated. “Do you want to know after the fuss you made about it smelling like Sirius?”
Remus furrowed his eyebrows. “Yes?”
“I’ll give you a hint. It smells like Mary for me.” Lily said, glancing over to where Mary and Marlene were arguing over who gets to dump in the rose petals.
Remus thought for a moment. “But you like- No. You’re taking the piss. Stop it.”
Lily grimaced. “Sorry, mate. You’re out of luck.”
Remus groaned, glancing over at Sirius. Sirius was whispering with James, and he knew that Sirius probably hated him by now.
~^~^~^~^~^~
“Should I ask him out?” Sirius asked grinning. From a little bit over, he heard Remus groan. “Oh my god. Does he even like me? What if he likes you? You sometimes use my cologne!”
James rolls his eyes and turns Sirius to face Remus. “Rem!” He says.
Remus look over at them, face pulled tight.
“Go on, ask.” James tell Sirius.
Sirius goes red before squeaking out, “Will you go to Hogsmeade with me?”
Lily and Remus look at each other, before Remus smiles a bit and says “Yeah, sure.”
James runs over to Lily, giving her a high-five, before returning back to his cauldron. While Remus and Sirius giggle to each other, he sniffs it. Broom polish. Huh.
