This definitely wasn't your brightest moment... Rushing through the corridors before bursting into professor Sharp's classroom, unusually late.

"Ah, nice of you to join us, 10 points from-"

You instantly apologized, explaining how you were helping professor Garlick tend to some moody mandrakes.

Professor Sharp regarded you for a moment, before finally exhaling. "I suppose I can let it slide... This time. Have a seat."

You hurriedly took your seat, taking in the pleasant aroma wafting through the air. The smell of old books, a strong fiery aroma reminding you of Confringo in the Undercroft... And Sebastian’s cologne.

"So, since you came in late, perhaps you could identify this potion for us?" Sharp asked with an air of authority, clearly it wasn't a suggestion. "What does it smell like?"

You explained it as it was. Old books, fire spells and Sebastian’s cologne, though you noted that it might be due to him going overboard with his perfume today.

The class held its breaths, causing you to look around and hesitate, then people started giggling. Imelda was laughing behind you, she really couldn't pass an opportunity to be an ignorant jerk, singing something insufferable along the lines of: “The school hero and Sallow under a tree!"

You were confused at best, until professor Sharp addressed you. "Are you aware that you just smelt Amortentia, the most powerful love potion in the world?"

Sebastian was staring at you from the sidelines, utterly in shock while Ominis looked like he wasn't even surprised... Called it perhaps.

And you were left sitting there in the midst of it all, taking in what you just smelled and what you confessed to the entire class.
