"What were they going on about?" Severus asked me when I finally caught up to him after talking to Sirius. "Oh just getting invited to a harem." I said calmly and he stopped walking, "You didn't- Diana I thought we talked about your track record with gryffindors." Severus said while putting an arm around me to give me comfort for bringing out old memories. Screw Mclaggen.

Severus and I were friends but not in the way that him and lily were friends. He worships the ground she walks on meanwhile he's make the ground i'd walk on shake to see me fall then patch me up. That sounds manipulative but I just mean we are friends and just that, no hidden feelings.

"You ready for potions?" I asked him moving on. "Yes, slug horn announces slug club members today." Severus said with a glimmer of excitement in his eye. "You think you made it?" I asked the cocky bastard. "I think that Lily, me, and you made it, yes." He said taking a seat beside Lily and I took a seat next to Remus. I had every class with him and lily, I'm not complaining and it's days like this I'm thankful for that.

"Hello Lupin." I said sitting down next to him, "Hello Diggory." He replied. "Do you smell chocolate?" He asked me looking around. "I do but faintly, do you smell cherry broom wax?" I asked him and he shook his head. Maybe I need to take a page from Dorcas' book and start carrying lavender.

She smells great and it calms nerves. Then Professor slughorn caught everyone's attention. "Hello class so last class had spilled some amortentia which brings us this smell and out next lesson." He said and Remus abs I looked at each other.

Remus got out a piece of parchment and losely wrote something before showing it to me.

"Tell me what you smell and I'll tell you what I smell and we'll figure it out together."

I took the paper from him and wrote.

"Cherry broom wax, warm coffee, cologne, chocolate, fire whiskey, smoke and old books. What about you?"

I then passed the paper back to him and he held a shocked expression before writing.

"Lavender, sea salt, chocolate, parchment, candle wax, cut grass, willow, and smoke."

He wrote back and we looked at each other.

"Dorcas smells like lavender and I've only ever used maple broom wax- and I can't place the cologne."

I wrote to him and passed the paper back. He smirked and smiled at it before writing.

"James uses cherry broom wax, much to everyone's dismay because he always smells of it. Also why do you do smell like that?"

He passed the paper to me and I wrote back.

"I wear pumpkin perfume- it's not usual yes but it reminds me of home. Why- does the cinnamon, vanilla-y, pumpkin-y smell bother you or is it the book smell? Pardon it's just I was in the library before this. But if it's like a strong sugary cologne scent, blame maple broom wax"

I passed the paper back and a smile hit his face.

"I never knew a person could ramble on paper, but don't worry I like it's just that every girl is typically obsessed with smelling like roses."

He wrote back and since class was ending soon for dinner I wrote back last.

"I'm not used to this Remus. Most of our schooling I've avoided you and Sirius and Peter for the shell of a boy you call James. And so now that I'm hanging out with you today I'm ailing myself into thinking it's a prank."
