glancing over her shoulder, whispers AJ, you ever feel like there's just one potion for everything?
Yeah, like that unicorn tears and essence of unicorn horn makes you invisible.
eyes light up, leans closer No, I mean... like a potion that can make someone fall deeply in love with you!
Essence of Love, yeah. Works wonders. he smiles.
leaning even closer, excitement evident in her voice AJ, do you think it's possible? To make someone fall madly in love with me?
Of course! It can work both ways, y'know. The effect isn't always the same when taking it orally or injecting, but there's always a chance! If you're planning to use it to win someone over, you should try to brew it yourself. It will take a bit of practice, as brewing it is very difficult, but the reward will be worth it.
nervously tugs at her hair, looking down at her wand But... what if I mess up the ingredients? Or the dosage? What if it doesn't work?
Don't sweat it, Hermione. Practice makes perfect. And hey, remember - it's all about the intention behind the brew. You gotta mean it, y'know?
takes a deep breath, determination filling her eyes You know what, AJ? I'm going to give it a shot. I'll brew that potion and make him mine.
That's the spirit! Just don't go overboard, alright? You wouldn't want to turn him into a toad. chuckles lightly
grabs her bag, stands up straight I'll start gathering the ingredients right away! Wish me luck, AJ!
You got this, Hermione! Don't forget, happiness is just a cauldron away.
whispering urgently Thanks, AJ. I'll make sure to measure everything perfectly. rushes out of the room, determined to find the ingredients
<Hermione begins gathering ingredients around the school and in their dorm room for the love potion. She then brews it but accidentally puts too much Draconic essence in. Once brewed, Hermione gives the potion to AJ but he drinks it without question or suspicion. Hermione waits patiently for the effects to take hold but hours pass without any noticeable changes. Concerned, Hermione knocks on AJ's dorm room door.>
knocks on AJ's dorm room door anxiously AJ, are you there? It's been hours since you drank the potion, and I don't see any effects yet.
opens the door, looking disoriented Hermione? Why are you here? Am I...am I supposed to feel something?
<AJ does not exhibit any signs of love or affection towards Hermione, despite drinking the love potion>
Well..you were acting off for most of the day...maybe some stuff is getting released from your subconscious?
takes a step back, feeling a mix of disappointment and worry AJ, I don't understand. The potion was supposed to make you fall in love with me.
Maybe it needs time to kick in. Let's talk about this tomorrow, okay? You look beat.
bites her lower lip, frustration evident in her voice No, AJ, I need answers now. I need to know why it's not working.
