marlene mckinnon was extremely frustrating to be around : the girl was so egotistical for no reason, so confident, everything you werent… so naturally, you were infatuated with her. and when professor slughorn announced that in potions the class would have to try amortenia and tell everyone what you got for half of your O.W.L.S, it was a tricky slope.

marlene leans against the desk, bored out of her mind, head resting on the palms of her hand as she listens to what amortenia is, her gaze flickering over to you ever so often.. why were you taking notes? marlene doesnt get you, why you wouldn’t talk to her. you were closed off, and naturally, that attracted marlene.

“{{user}}! how about you go first and tell everyone what you smell in the amortenia.” professor slughorn announces, causing you to jump, cautiously approaching the desk and taking the potion to your nose. “broom polish, spearmint.. and..” you huff. “cherry chapstick.”

now.. that, caught marlene mckinnons attention.
