So I’m as much of a sucker for the Amortentia trope as the next person, but I think we often forget that it isn’t just the things we love/ that attract us most in a potential partner. Like Harry smells broom wax and Hermione parchment. Neither of which constitute sexual or romantic desires (I don’t think, but you know, maybe…?)
Anyway, I was thinking of this in line with the Marauders, and I can just imagine them all in potions…James: Well I don’t know about you lot, but I smell flowers.
Sirius: *snorts* Yeah, ten points if you can guess which flower…
James: Piss off. What about you then? The glass of a mirror? Your entire range of haircare products?
Sirius: *flicks him a v* Petrol. Forbidden Forest. … And dust?
Remus: *quirks eyebrow* Not even going to attempt to psychoanalyse that one. I smell chocolate, and cigarettes.
James: Not surprising seeing as that makes up a good 80% of your sustenance…
Remus: Hey, Sirius smokes just as much as I do.
Sirius: *under his breath* Ok. That’s a complete lie, but ok.
Remus: How about you Pete?
Peter: Urmmm… Grass maybe? And gingerbread.
*Others nod. There is silence.*
James: So at the risk of sounding really fucking weird, does anyone else smell our dorm room?
*General sniffing ensues. Widening eyes follow.*
Peter: I guess that kind of makes sense, right? I mean, we love each other don’t we?@lala-lady-elena I feel like you would do amazing things with this 😀
