amortentia

A potion that detects who you are romantically involved with by its scent. It’s smell is different for everyone, but gives off the scent of the one you love, as you’d (probably) recognize your lover’s scent.

A potion from the big wide world of Harry Potter.

Harry lifts the potion to his nose, inhaling the scent, but instead of the sweet smell of Ginny’s hair wash, he was drowned in vanilla, burning firewood, and... hair gel?

“What is it Harry?”

“Oh, uhm, nothing.”

(Whoops he’s in love with Draco)

Amortentia; your best friend, or your worst nightmare?
