It was in a double potions class when this all started. All the students listened carefully to Professor Slughorn, a potions professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was quite a collector and was very skilled in brewing. In this particular potions class sat a group of 6th year Gryffindors and Slytherins. They all stood around a steaming cauldron of potion whilst Professor Slughorn spoke. Directly in front of the cauldron stood four boys; Sirius, James, Peter and Remus. Sirius smirked as he stared at the cauldron and he shot Remus a few glances. James had a misted look over his eyes as he sniffed the contents of the cauldron. Peter looked as if he could smell the largest pile of sweets in the world. Now Remus, he just blushed and blinked slowly. You’re probably wondering; what is it that is in the cauldron that is making these four boys and the rest of the class acting slightly off? Well, I’ll tell you now. The potion in the cauldron was called ‘amortentia’ and it smelled of whatever the person who caught it’s scent loved or desired. “Remus!” said Professor Slughorn, “Come over here and please describe what you smell in the cauldron.”
Remus was quite shy as he wondered over to the cauldron. To Remus, he smelled the distinct scent of wet dog. “Well Remus?” encouraged Slughorn.
Remus blushed and muttered, “dog fur...”
Sirius head darted up as he caught what Remus had said. “Dog fur?” asked Slughorn, “Do you have a pet dog, Remus?”
Remus shuffled his feet uncomfortably, “Uh, you could say that...”
Slughorn smiled and looked around the room, “Very well, Remus. Hm, Alice Longbottom, what about you?”

Remus quickly walked back to his place in the circle between James and Sirius. By now, Remus’ face was bright red. Sirius leaned down with a smirk and growled in Remus’ ear. Poor Remus jumped slightly and he glanced up at Sirius. Sirius looked back coolly causing Remus to look away with his face flaming.
“Right class” said Slughorn, clapping his hands together, “You’re going to have a go at brewing this yourself! Take out your books and turn to page fifty six!”
The whole class nodded and slowly walked to their allocated seats. Not Remus though, he speed walked to his seat which was – thankfully – on the other side of the classroom to Sirius.

About half an hour later when Remus was measuring porcupine spikes, Sirius walked over. He placed a hand on either side of Remus and leaned over his shoulder. “I seem to not have enough nettles. Do you happen to have any spare?” he asked quietly into Remus’ ear, his smirk still in place from earlier. He had that stupid smirk on his face for the past half hour. “Uh, s-sure” mumbled Remus, placing a few more nettles into Sirius’ hand.
“Thanks” Sirius muttered. Without warning, Sirius growled into Remus’ ear again which caused Remus’ face to go all red and embarrassed once more. “See ya later, Moony” said Sirius and he walked back to his space next to James. And he was still wearing that cocky smirk!

For the rest of the lesson, Remus couldn’t even lift his head up because of the embarrassment. He also knew that if he did look over at Sirius, Sirius would be staring back with that stupid grin. Suddenly, Snape who sat in front of Remus turned around. “What’s dumbass’ deal?” he asked in his snotty voice.
Remus twitched slightly. “That’s not a very pleasant thing to call someone” he said.
“He’s not a very pleasant person” countered Snape.
Remus sighed and ran a hand through his hair stressfully. “Fine, don’t tell me” shrugged Snape and went to turn around but faltered. “He’s staring at you by the way” added Snape. He focused back on his work and Remus plucked up the courage to finally look around at Sirius. As Snape had said, Sirius was staring at him. Remus gave him an embarrassed nod. Sirius winked and went back to stirring his potion.

The lesson finally ended and the class was excused. Remus made his way over to James, Sirius and Peter who were talking enthusiastically. “What did you smell James?” asked Peter.
James smirked and looked over at Sirius. “A lily flower” he said, waggling his eyebrows. Sirius grinned. “What did you smell, Sirius?” asked James.
Sirius glanced down at Remus before turning to James. “I could smell books and chocolate” he said simply. Remus’ eyes sparked up and he stared up at Sirius. Sirius sent him a hidden smile. Remus offered a smaller and more nervous one in return. “Riiiiight” said James, “Okay, so if you two could stop eyeing each other up we could get some lunch. Come on, I’m starving.”
I felt like writing a little wolfstar for a bit. I might upload a Johnlock halloween fic if I'm up to it!
