You've always been top of potions class, but now Professor Snape wants to reward your hard work.

"What does that smell like to you, (first name)?"
It took you a moment. He wanted you to respond aloud this time.
"Y-you..." your voice shook - you realised you couldn't meet his eye or you'd surely faint.
"Very good." He inhaled deeply into the swirling mists that skimmed the top of the cauldron. His eyes darkened as they returned to you. "What do you think I smell, (first name)?"
"...Me?" Your gaze met. You didn't faint. You felt... just right, looking into his eyes of obsidian.
"Excellent." His tongue teased you from between his lips. "You always were my star student."
