Author: Orphaned

Rating: Teen

Length: 23,167

Summary:

‘And what does this mystery potion do besides making you somehow even more of an idiot?’ Draco responded and Harry glared at him. ‘I don’t know.’ ‘You took a potion and you don’t know what it does!’ Draco exclaimed. ‘Well, let’s cancel you-know-who, I think you’re perfectly capable of offing yourself!’

Harry is asked to test a mysterious potion by the Weasley twins for their new line of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes products.

Little does he know the potion forces its consumer into romcom-esque scenarios with the first person they encounter.

Wolfstar Week: Potions

Author: jellybeany Rating: Not Rated Word Count: 5,049 Era: Marauder’s

Summary: He felt something for Sirius, something very strong, but Remus didn’t think it was love. It wasn’t soft and gentle, more like sharp and piercing. It was usually anxiety, since Sirius was reckless and fearless and inordinately prone to jumping off high ledges.

Summary: You know the trope, I know the trope, you love it, I love it, we've all read it, but I believe every author's take is slightly different and exciting in its own way.

Sirius and Remus smell something they associate with the other in their Amortentia in class, but neither knows what to do about it until Sirius shows a surprising amount of insight and takes matters into his own hands.

Courage Equals Truth

Sirius has a bottle of Firewhiskey, and they decide to drink and play truth or dare. Only too late do they realize it's mixed with Veritaserum.

Quote:

"Hey, Sirius," James said, as if his voice should be slurred but he was too awake for it to be. "Sirius, truth or dare?"

"Truth," Sirius said.

"What happened to being all brave because you're Gryffindor?" James teased. Sirius rarely chose truth.

"Courage equals truth, don't you think?"

He said it, and the words were so confident, but he still looked confused.

"Alright, hot shot. Then be brave. Did you really make out with that seventh year Hufflepuff in the Quidditch broom closet?" James asked, eyebrows raising.

“Hey Potter.” Malfoy called out dryly from the other end of the common room.

Harry grumbled at him and didn’t look up from his attempt at drawing hair on his balls. “What is it, Malfoy?”

“Could you please stop drawing pubic hair on those balls.” Harry’s head snapped up faster than lightning, because surely he couldn’t be Malfoy’s… But apparently he could be, because right there on Draco’s pale skin, was the very same dick he’d been drawing on his own arm. “I mean, it wasn’t very pretty to begin with, but now you’re even ruining the little bit of aesthetic it did have.”
