Hermione/Ron, Sirius/Remus, Harry/Ginny
G, 3k
Summary: After fighting with Hermione at the Yule Ball two years ago, Ron wants to make the Valentine’s Day Dance perfect for her. Unfortunately, Fred & George accidentally added their own DNA to a batch of love potion sold at their shop in Hogsmeade. Everyone who unknowingly takes some of the potion falls in love with all the Weasleys. The evening of the dance, Ron, Bill and their siblings are ambushed by hordes of admirers.
Summary: Regulus, somehow, agrees to a bet with James Potter. He will drink a love potion (questionably acquired), and they'll see how long James can last with him being stupidly in love with him. It's only for a weekend—how hard can it be?
Bewitched (ao3) - StarlingFlight
Harry/Ginny
M, 90k
Summary: When Luna suggests, after Ginny suffers through the latest in a long line of comically bad dates, that the solution to all of her problems lies in brewing a love potion, she thinks it's all a big joke.
Obviously, magic isn't real. Luna's potion recipe is nothing more than a novelty, sold to tourists enamoured with the legends surrounding their historical hometown of Godric's Hollow.
Of course, Ginny really should've learned by now that her plans have a tendency to go awry. So it really shouldn't come as that much of a surprise to her when, the very next day, half the town seems to find her utterly...bewitching
The only person who appears to be immune to the enchantment she's accidentally cast, is the one person who she wishes saw her as something more than his best friend's little sister; typically, even the miracle of actual magic can't capture Harry Potter's interest, and now he's the only person who can help her fix this latest mess she's created...

Scorpius/Albus
G, 3k
Summary: When Albus received a love potion from his Uncle Ron, he never intended to use it. He certainly never planned for his best friend to drink it, thinking it was just water. And he definitely hadn't anticipated that his best friend would act completely normally, unaffected by the love spell.
Summary: Hermione and Ron are finally tying the knot—but, in true Hermione style, this wedding isn’t just about romance. Hermione is determined to make her big day a groundbreaking statement by holding a Muggle-friendly, magic-free ceremony in a Muggle church. Her goal? To show the Ministry that wizard and Muggle worlds can truly blend, all while setting herself up for a big promotion.
But transforming a wedding into a statement on systematic change proves to be a spellbinding challenge. With tensions running high, Ron feeling uneasy about getting married so young, Fleur ready to pop with a new Weasley any minute, and a certain ex eager to win Hermione back, this ceremony may need more than just a little magic to succeed. Will Hermione’s bold vision be the start of a new era—or will her magical wedding day dreams end in a spectacular disaster?

Summary: “Granger,” he said.
She looked up from her textbook. “What is it?”
“I think we made a mistake,” he said, words quick and clipped.
She set her quill down and scoffed. “Don’t be ridiculous, Malfoy. Everything is going perfect. Look at the potion— it’s textbook.”
He scowled, panic bubbling in his chest. “Then why does it smell like—“ he cut himself off abruptly.
“Why does it smell like what?” She frowned.
“Nothing,” he snapped. The scent continued to get stronger, wrapping around him and taunting him. Coffee, parchment, cinnamon. It was undeniably Granger.

(Love potion gone awry)
Love potions have a long history from the classical world to the modern day, with strong literary associations, such as the Celtic chivalric romance Tristan and Isolde, which was revived in the 12th Century; to Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Their associations with witchcraft also appeared as evidence of the practice of black magic in Witch Trials across Europe from the 14th to the 17th Centuries. Historical evidence appears in the Witch Trials of Béatrice de Planissoles in 1320, to the 17th century Parisian Catherine Deshayes, also known in the Parisian underworld as ‘La Voisin’, who was burned at the stake in 1680. The potions varied contents of blood, human and animal remains, alongside herbs that could prove fatal if used in the wrong doses, marked them out throughout history as powerful magic, alerting the inquisition, and witch hunters to eradicate the practice. Like other instances of folk magic, their practice continued in secret outlasting the inquisition. They are still however considered controversial to this day. As shown this original Love potion plague is made using antique salvaged wood, and a bottle cast from an actual antique medicine bottle. A unique historically inspired gift!

Part Seven of Eight 7. Worms Our wriggly friends have a long medicinal history, even as late as 1718, worms were called for in Dr. Richard Mead’s Snail water recipe, containing snails, worms, berries and a mixture of herbs. Their association with love potions arrives from their connection to the earth, and its ancient link with fertility. Albertus Magnus’ 16th century work ‘The Book of Secrets of Albertus Magnus: Of the Virtues of Herbs, Stones and Certain Beasts’, calls for mixing crushed earthworms with periwinkle to aid attraction.

Part One of Eight i). Human Remains Beginning our look into love potion history is the first ingredient, and like all self respecting corpse medicine, it’s human remains. To maximize the chance that your love spell would work, there was nothing better than adding some powdered bone, menstrual blood, and hair, ideally from both yourself and the intended recipient of your love. Failing that something stronger and more macabre was noted, in one recipe the author suggests the bone marrow and spleen of a murder victim. An actual historical case is that of the trial of Béatrice de Planissoles, who appeared before the Inquisition on Saturday, 26th July 1320, accused of blasphemy, witchcraft and heresy. Upon searching her they found items ”strongly suggestive of having been used by her to cast evil spells”. These included two umbilical cords of her grandsons, and for use in love potions, cloth soaked with her daughter's first menstrual blood, intended to be placed in potions and drunk by her daughter's husband to ensure his love; and the herb ‘ Eruca sativa’, believed to increase sexual passion.

The Dark History of La Voisin Love potions have a long history from the classical world to the modern day. One of the most well documented and legendary crafters of love potions was the 17th century Parisian Catherine Deshayes, also known in the Parisian underworld as ‘La Voisin’. Dressed in flowing robes embroidered with magical symbols, she supplied the court of Louis XIV’s with love potions, palm readings, horoscopes and incantations; as well as more nefarious potions to do away with husbands. La Voisin was also accused of heading a network of practitioners of black magic, and the use of babies' blood to create magic potions. Due to her accused involved in the murder by poion of between 1,000 and 2,500 people, La Voisin was implicated in ‘The Affair of the Poisons (l'affaire des poisons)’, between 1677 and 1682, where prominent members of Louis court at Versailles were charged and executed on the charges of poisoning and witchcraft. Alongside the 36 people who were implicated and executed, was La Voisin herself. On the 22nd February 1680, she was publicly burned at the stake in Paris.
