                              'Love Potion'

The assignment for Potions class was to be assigned a random potion, drink it, and then observe the effects. I could already see some problems with the system; but I wasn't going to say anything. It meant I could do whatever I want and blame the consequences on the fact that I was under the influence.
I was assigned to drink a Love Potion. Okay, so maybe I wouldn't be able to do everything  I had on my list...

Observation #1:  Love Potions smell really, really, really good.
I sniffed at the uncorked bottle as I sat in the Hufflepuff common room. My friends sat around me, watching and trying not to laugh. I had recruited them to stop me from doing anything really stupid while I was 'under the influence'.
Imagine my surprise when I smelled vanilla, old books, lavender, and that new broom smell wafting from the pink liquid. I suddenly grinned and held up the vial in a sort of mock-salute to my friends. "Well, bottoms up!"

Observation #2: Love Potions take about five minutes to set in.
I stared at the empty contents, and shrugged. I placed the vial on the table in front of me and leaned back in the pouffy armchair. "Well?" Amy asked me, green eyes wide.
I crossed my arms and tucked my legs underneath me. "Nothing."
Aaron scoffed and wrapped his arms around Emily's waist. "That was certainly anti-climactic."
I stuck my tongue out at him. "So, did you catch that Quidditch match last night? Slytherin and Ravenclaw, baby!"

Observation #3: When Love Potions hit, they hit hard.
All of a sudden, I was overcome with a wonderful, spine-tingling feeling. It was one of those feelings that made me feel like I could fly without a broom, it made me want to dance and sing with joy, it made me so very happy that I couldn't contain it. "OH, come and stir my cauldron! And if you do it RIGHT, I'll boil you up some HOT, STRONG LOVE to keep you warm TOO-NIIIGHT!"
I closed my eyes and smiled dreamily, thinking to myself Snape, Snape, Severus Snape... Snape, Snape, Severus Snape...
"Uh-oh! She's been hit!" Aaron cried. Amy sat closer to me and said, "So... Jessa? How are you feeling?"
I grinned widely and said, "I feel WONDERFUL! I love Snape!"

Observation #4: Love Potions make you obsess over the person who gave it to you, not who you first lay eyes on.
I didn't hear anything, until Amy quietly breathed, "Ew." Aaron started to laugh so hard he cried. "Oh, man! Why isn't anyone recording this!" I heard a slap and a curse. I took out my last Potions assignment and ran my finger over the scrawled writing of Snape's hand, and sighed. Oh, Snape! Your handwriting is so marvelous... I know! I should go tell him in person! Yeah, that's a good idea.
I stood up and started walking to the common room exit. "Whoa, whoa! Where do you think you're you going?" Amy called after me, standing up.
"To see the Professor..." I called over my shoulder. Heehee, the Professor. It sounds so masculine. I shivered with delight at the thought and climbed out of the common room.
"Hey! No, you don't! Kurt, stop Jessabell!" I turned to see a little third-year standing outside of the common room, looking confused. I smiled down at him and continued walking. "Great, good job, Kurt!" I heard Aaron telling the boy sarcastically. "Really helped us out there!"
"Oh, stop it, Aaron! You're scaring him!"
"Whatever. Hey! Peter and Jenny! Stop Jessabell!" I saw the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor as they walked out of the Great Hall together. I smiled at them and waved. "She drank a love potion!"
"Oh, dear!" I turned just in time to see Peter leaping forward, arms outstretched. I yelped and tried to dodge it, but instead he fly-tackled me. "NO! I have to see the Professor! Let me go!" I struggled under the weight of the Ravenclaw Beater. Jenny hurried over to us and sat down near my head. "Who gave you the potion, love?"
I smiled and closed my eyes. "Professor Snape..."
"Oh, gross."
I heard panting as Aaron and Amy finally caught up to us. "I know, right?" Amy puffed, as she and Aaron sat down on my back. "Thanks, guys."
They laughed and said, "No problem!"
We stayed in the hallway like that for an hour.

Observation #5: Love Potions last for twenty-four hours.
"Aaron, it's your turn to watch Jessa."
"Seriously? All I want to do is go get some food. We haven't left the common room and I'm starving!"
"Fine then! Get enough food for all of us!"
He grumbled as he left. I sat tied down to the pouffy armchair, exhausted from trying to escape. Amy and Aaron had spent all the day taking turns watching me to make sure I didn't do anything stupid. I sighed and said hoarsely, "Amy... I think it's worn off now..."

Observation #6: I really hate you right now, Professor Snape.
