“You’re fucking with me,” you said in disbelief.
Remus shrugged.
“I’m not running at that,” you nodded to the brick wall before you.
He tapped his foot as you crossed your arms, “you’re gonna make us late.”
A smile spread across Remus’ face, “ok”.
You stared at disbelief, he’d just vanished into the wall. “Ok, Y/N, you got this,” you took a deep breath and ran at the wall.
“Wahey!”
You rolled your eyes at him.
It was your first year getting the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts, your first year you arrived via Floo Network.
“Look who’s arriving together,” James winked, “Hand in hand- oh no, my bad.”
“Shut up,” you swatted at him.
“I got the matches list,” he began.
Remus clicked his fingers and put his hand out, you placed 2 galleons in it.
You answered James’ bewildered look, “we bet how long it would take for you to mention quidditch.”
He didn’t even try to defend himself as Sirius sniggered.
“Anyway, Hufflepuff vs. Gryffindor is the first match - 1st October.”
You’d joined the Hufflepuff team as chaser the second week you arrived, it had helped you make friends in your own house and bond with Remus’ friends.
“Are any of you guys taking potions, by the way?”
“We all are,” Sirius nodded.
“Thank Godric, it’s a popular Hufflepuff topic apparently so I’m with Gryffindor,” you smiled, standing up, “I’m gonna go sit with my house friends.”
“Ok, we’ll save you a seat so you can join for dessert,” Remus smiled.
You smiled and waved them goodbye, sliding the door behind you so all you could hear were muffled voices (“pathetic, mate” “what?” “oh sorry, just friends”).
After greeting all your new housemates from the sorting, you ate the feast with your friends - laughing and catching up about the summer holidays.
“Your boyfriends table,” your friend, Delphine, teased.
You rolled your eyes as your other friends laughed, “for dessert, I’ll see you later.”
“Y/N!” James cheered as you sat down next to Remus.
“Hello, hello,” you smile, “ice cream please.”
Remus loaded your bowl up with ice cream then passed you the sauces, “Sirius has a question for you.”
“I don’t even need to hear the rest, no,” you said sternly.
The boys laughed as Sirius shrugged.
Remus poured himself a cup of tea, “timetable, please.”
You put your hand into your robe pocket and withdrew a folded piece of paper.
He scanned over it, “yeah we do have potions together.”
“Oh, good,” you mumbled through a mouthful of ice cream.
James and Sirius were staring at you, “how do you never get brain freeze?”
You just shrugged and ate more ice cream.
“Oh, Y/N, do you want to play quidditch tomorrow after school,” James said just before you parted ways, “it’s been awhile.”
“Yeah, of course,” you smiled, rejoining your Hufflepuff friends.
“So,” Delphine linked her arm with yours, “what’s really going on with Remus?”
She was your best girlfriend but she did go on about his, “Nothing, Delph, nothing at all.”
In all honesty, all you were sure about with Remus was that you always needed him in your life.
You didn’t want to risk losing that by thinking about how you felt too much.
“Morning, morning, morning,” you greeted, “happy first day.”
“Always so loud!” Delphine huffed, throwing a pillow at you.
“I’ll see you later,” you said, picking up your tie and heading down for breakfast.
For you, breakfast was at the Gryffindor’s table but, that didn’t really matter, no one got up as early as you.
You snapped your head up to see a goblet hurtling at you, ducking your head just in time.
“Sorry about that,” a second year mumbled.
You smiled back kindly, “no worries, maybe don’t swish so much next time.”
“How come when we throw stuff at you, you yell?” Sirius asked, taking the seat opposite you.
“Because you guys are idiots.”
Remus chuckled, sitting next to Sirius and pouring himself a cup of tea.
It was nice to make him laugh.
“Hey, Lils,” you greeted, and begun a catch up about your Summer holidays that you were so immersed in, you forgot your potions textbook.
“I’ll tell Slughorn you’ll be late, no worries,” Remus smiled, seeing your panicked expression.
You sprinted back to the Great Hall and grabbed your book, rushing back to the dungeons in “record time”, Sirius decided.
Everyone had begun copying a recipe from the board when you walked in, the beginning speech had been missed- although you could guess it was about the 4 potions in front.
“It’s girls boys,” James informed you, moving his satchel that sat between him and Remus.
“Oh, weird,” you frowned, taking out your parchment and quill.
Remus looked up, “we’re brewing draught of living death”.
“Cheery,” you wrinkled your nose, “but maybe it can get rid of this smell- Jesus, Rem, did you spill tea on yourself this morning?”
You felt James stiffen next to you.
You were going to reply but decided against it, returning to your notes.
“Ok class,” Slughorn clapped his hands together, “your time begins now.”
You moved your cauldron into your usual space, below the small skylight, as Slughorn moved the potions behind you.
As the lid shifted of the pearlescent potion shifted, the smell of tea and clean washing wafted over to you.
That smell, you knew who that was, “Rem, if you’re trying to-”
“Hm?” He raised his eyebrows.
Remus was still opposite you, at his own cauldron.
James ducked his head, hiding a smirk.
Sirius took the opposite approach, “smell anything, Y/N?”
“Looking good, Y/L/N,” said Slughorn as he walked past, giving you an excuse to ignore Sirius.
You smiled, “oh, Sir, I was late and missed the beginning, what are these potions?”
He listed the names, explaining each. Finally, he reached the pearl potion, “this is amortentia, smells like what you love - very potent,” he chuckled.
Your eyes darted to Remus.
Remus was focussing extremely hard on his potion.
James was smiling knowingly at you.
Lily looked like she was about to explode her eyes were so wide.
“Sir, could I go the loo?”
Slughorn looked at your potion, “but it will-”
You rushed from the classroom, heading up- wanting fresh air.
“Y/N! Hey!” You heard from behind you.
You didn’t turn, for the first time ever Remus was the last person you wanted to talk to.
His legs were longer than yours, he gently wrapped his hand around your arm, “talk to me.”
You looked into his honey eyes, they were pleading.
“Y/N,” he whispered, the corners of his mouth were turned up slightly causing the scar on his cheek to distort into a wave.
You opened your mouth but your words failed you instead, a small sigh replaced words.
He gulped, causing his adam’s apple to bob up and down, “I smelt flowers.”
Your mouth fell open again.
“Specifically, the flowers that make your perfume,” his pink lips were forming a smile at the memory, “and that ‘candy’ you like.”
It wasn’t his mocking tone of candy that made you grin.
“Tea and clean clothes,” you couldn’t hide your smile, “that’s what I smelt.”
Remus bit his bottom lip.
You looked down, preparing to say something else. Before you could, Remus’ hands were cupping either side of your face.
His lips were warm against yours, his thumbs on your cheeks, and the third, and final smell intoxicated you.
Nothing could describe it.
Your arms were still wrapped around his neck when you heard, “so, uh, Y/N - can we still play quidditch later or are you gonna be… busy?”
