⌈CHAPTER 15 ⎮⎮ AMORTENTIA⌋

A/N: Last chapter was a bit short because I wanted to do both Esme and Draco's POV during this class so it would've made the other chapter longer.

Esme Ambrose (POV)

"You can walk with me and Ron if you'd like." Harry said.

"Sure." I smiled.

It was a bit awkward. Harry pulled me aside to talk about Draco and what he saw in Diagon Alley, he also brought up that Draco had punched him on the train. I knew Harry was telling the truth on the second part, but the first part I wasn't so sure. I didn't want to assume because of his family. Lucius was a death eater so it made sense. Even if he was, Draco isn't like his father. 

Harry also warned me to be careful about getting myself into all that. I could take care of myself though, he really didn't need to worry.

Once I started walking with Ron and Harry though it felt better. Mostly because of how funny Ron can be, he talked about how much he hated potions. Seemed like he was just following along with Harry. I realized that we were going in late but who cares.

Harry opened the door causing everyone to look at the three of us...

Oh shit.

I forgot Draco would be in this class. He even looked up with a blank expression.

"Ah Harry my boy, I was beginning to worry if you would be coming." Professor Slughorn said, "Brought two people along as well I see." 

"Ron Weasley, sir."

"Esme Ambrose, Professor."

"Ah I was wondering when I'd get to see you, your mother was truly talented, best in my class." Slughorn said, "You look almost like her expect-"

"My eyes." I said, "I have my father's eyes, Robert Ambrose." 

"Yes indeed, your parents were extremely talented." He said.

"Sorry to come late." I said.

"Not to worry grab your books." He said.

"Sorry Professor, I haven't gotten my book yet." Harry said.

"Not to worry grab one from the cupboard." Slughorn said and he continued to go back to lecturing.

"I already grabbed mine yesterday." I said to Ron and Harry.

I left to go stand with the class. I chose to stand by Hermione since Draco didn't even acknowledge me. Lucy and Blaise were okay with it and passed me a smile.

Hermione was answering a question while I was busy looking at Draco. He looked so depressed. He had his head down the whole time with a blank expression it was obvious he had not interest in this class and just completely out of it.

"This is Amortentia." Hermione said, "it's the most powerful love potion in the world."

I have heard about this potion before but never smelled mine. I felt like I already had an idea for what attracts me.

"I smell freshly mown grass, parchment and spearmint toothpaste." Hermione said, it sounded somewhat familiar to me but didn't ring a bell.

Slughorn continued to lecture about the potion. I could see all the girls moving forward even Lucy. I was standing pretty close that I was able to smell mine.

Mint, apples, and a subtle cologne. 

I gulped realizing who all that fit. 

Draco Malfoy.
