And once again, you enter the dank, dark cave that is the Hogwarts potions classroom... but something has changed. Unlike the environment of the previous class, which was characterized by a clash of noxious odors, this time the classroom is filled with...
THE BEST. SMELLS. EVER.
Though the room is still cast in the typical gloom from the flickering candle wall sconces, unlike during the last class this time the air smells sweet, with notes of chocolate, vanilla, fresh coffee, light florals and fresh breezes, newly cut grass... A thousand lovely scents all harmoniously combining to create a symphony of sweet smells. Small flames are burning under a series of cauldrons simmering at the back of the room, and there are the typical rows of workstations with two stools at each station.
A thousand and three jars, canisters, and containers of potions ingredients line the shelves along the walls, gleaming dully in the low light. Each is labelled in the Professor's shaky old man's script, and at the back of the room are shelves groaning under the weight of huge potions encyclopedias and texts.
At the front of the classroom, a large charmed chalkboard stands. On it are written these simple instructions:
Quote:
POTIONS CLASS: LOVE POTIONS
Please be seated. The professor will be here momentarily. Be certain that you have all your potions equipment with you; failure to do so may cost your House points. If you are an older student who is familiar with Potions you may set up your workstation. I expect my younger students are now able to set up their workstations as well; if you need help, please ask an older student.
You may talk quietly amongst yourselves, but please keep the conversation to a reasonable level out of respect for your classmates. Thank you.
--Professor Kazimeriz
Class Synopsis:
The class began with a discussion on Love Potions- the theory behind them and their classification.
Then, the students discussed probable ingredients in love potions based on their knowledge of potion ingredients; this lead to the lab assignment, in which the students were to partner with a person of the opposite gender and brew a basic Class XX love potion.
The students received instruction on how to remove infused oils from their pre-treated lovage seeds, and were instructed to work in pairs to complete this task.
Next, the students were instructed to add a single drop of swan blood to the potion, bottled a draught, and sample each other's work. Ah... Love!
Lucy grinned as he starting singing again; she swayed to his voice with him. This was how it was meant to be. Then, as he spun her, she giggled loudly, and as she landed back in his arms, she tightened her arms around him.
"Oh, Fyo, that was just lovely!!" Lucy said.
And then she heard the professor's voice distantly, as if he was talking miles away. It made her confused because he was talking about some kind of potion...what potion? Lucy creased her forehead as she looked at her surroundings. It was complete chaos; people were all over the place, and the room looked a mess. But she couldn't quite grasp what was going on, though. Lucy gazed up at Fyo and tried to forget what was going on because her brain hurt. And then she realized that she was hugging Fyo...how awkward! Why was she hugging him??!! She barely even knew him!!
Lucy's brain was frazzled as she tried to think. Potions...potions...Potions...
She saw that the professor was handing out vials of...potion? Not really knowing what it was (perhaps thinking it would help her with the Fyo situation), Lucy took the potion and gulped it down. It was extremely bitter, and she almost gagged. And when she finally opened her eyes to the situation before her, her memory came flooding back. There was Fyo, holding her...she immediately let go of him, and sat down in her chair, deeply embarrassed, her face the color of a ripe tomato. Oh, the shame of it all!

Kazimeriz raised his wand again, casting. "Finite Incantatem!" to stop further students from getting into duels over false love. "There, now-- that's quite enough."
He levitated a basket filled with small clear tubes with corks down the aisles. Inside the tubes was a measure of clear liquid. "I ask that each of you take a phial of potion from the basket. Drink it only if you have taken a love potion. Those of you who have not yet had the opportunity to use your potion may stay after class if you still wish to sample your results, and may take this antidote after you have done so." Kazimeriz smirked a little. "Be warned, the antidote is very, very bitter... For the loss of love, even manufactured love, is always a bitter, even painful experience."
He began to pace a little as he spoke. "From the grumbling I have heard, I suspect that many of you are displeased with this little... opportunity... I have provided to experience love potion first hand. I want you all to understand why this opportunity was provided to you. Love potion is, without a doubt, among the most dangerous of potions-- as you have experienced today, it robs you of reason and causes impetuous, reckless behavior, even causing some to be moved to dueling... and often, dueling to the death is not unheard of over that most dangerous of emotions, love."
"In spite of the dangers of love potion, it is an uncontrolled potion -- easy to obtain and simple to administer. Witches and wizards who have not personally gone through the pain and suffering that manufactured love brings often unblinkingly will use this potion on the unsuspecting object of their affection, and the result is rarely good. It is liquid betrayal and ends up hurting both the administrator and the consumer most times it is used, and so I caution you to think before you reach for it in pursuit of your true love."
"So, if it is so dangerous, why did I ask my class to take it? I prefer that my students be exposed to this potion in a controlled classroom setting, with a partner they are not already emotionally invested in, so you can feel the effects first hand -- and will be moved never to use it. I hope you will also learn to be vigilant -- wizards and witches alike -- in any setting in which someone might slip a love potion into your food or drink, and most of all to recognize the symptoms of a love potion's influence. Most of you probably experienced a strong surge of emotion that seemed without rational basis, and you may have also noticed a vague, momentary tingling sensation and a bit of warmth in your cheeks. You may have ascribed these feelings to being close to the object of your affection. Be alert! When these symptoms appear and you seem to have an unnatural , obsessive interest in someone who historically has not been interesting to you romantically, you may be the victim of love potion."
Kazimeriz continued pacing. "For those of you who have now experienced this insidious potion first hand... Knowing how it feels to consume love potion, would you ever use it on a love, a friend or a foe? Why or why not? When is its use acceptable to you? It is a complex ethical question, and I would like to hear your opinions on the matter."
Fyo grinned down at Lucy, but then he blinked, because Professor Kazi!Man was speaking and, much as he wanted these moments to last forever, he knew he would have to listen to the Potions Master.
This was, after all, a class.
A basket full of little tubes? How cuuute! Pretty much everything seemed cute, at the moment. "Excuse me for a second, will you, Lucy?" He told Lucy with a warm smile, and he headed over to the basket, out of which he drew a phial. He uncorked it, took a sip, and squeezed his way back to Lucy, even as the clear liquid ran down his throat.
It tasted bitter, even painful. Fyo did not want to take another sip, and he scrunched up his face in distaste. What the HECK was Professor Kazi!Man thinking? .... Then realization struck him in one, certain bolt, and his eyes widened. Oh my gosh! His free, left hand was on Lucy's waist and --- everything came back to him, and Fyo took a quick step backwards.
"I am so sorry!" he blurted out, at once. Lucy looked quite embarrassed too, and that evened things a little, but this was still SO humiliating! "You know I didn't mean that and... well..." To cover his confusion, more than anything else, he quickly raised a hand and answered the Potions Master's question.
"I wouldn't use it, sir," he said, his insides still writhing from embarrassment. "Love - true love - is a very pure feeling and love potions depict lust, rather than affection. I believe it is wrong to force someone to feel a certain way - when, of course, the person's genuine feelings do not intend wickedness. Through the use of a love potion, one tampers with the free, harmless will of another and that, in itself, is a breach of basic rights." The right to freedom of expression, maybe? Or the right to liberty, to true happiness, and to the pursuit of innocent dreams? "Not to mention, love potions do not create 'love' - rather a quick, lustful sort of affection - or desire - that feeds, not on human or humane sentiments, but on potion ingredients. Where's the good in that?"

He hated love potions. HATED them.
Lucy watched as Fyo drank the antidote as well, and came to his senses.
Her face still red, she said, "It's okay...It was quite embarrassing..." She couldn't look at him. She wondered how far she ahd gotten with him.
As she listened to the professor's question, and then listened to Fyo's answer, she couldn't help but agree with him.
She raised her hand as well, and said, "I agree with Fyo, sir. It is very wrong to give someone a love potion, and I think that if you truly love someome, you will not succumb to an act as low as this.." Lucy's eyes welled up a bit as she said this because she felt like such a traitor and hypocrite. How could she say this when she herself had given someone she truly loved a love potion?! She was such a horrible person. She had no heart. Lucy closed her eyes and tried to hold back the tears--she didn't want to embarrass herself anymore.

Fyo nodded. "But it was under the influence of a love potion," he said, giving her a small smile and trying to make things better. "We really had no control. I guess that's a bit of comfort, isn't it?"
He listened to her answer, and frowned a little. He was pretty sure she wasn't fine, now. Oh gosh, were her eyes... welling up? Eeep, nuuuu! "Lucy," he said, biting his lip. "I'm really sorry, it was part of the lesson. I didn't mean to act the way I did, you know that."

Lucy tried to smile, despite that memory coming back to her.
"Yes, I suppose. This really shows me how horrible love potions are..."
Annnnnd Fyo thought she was crying because of him.
"Oh, don't be sorry! It's not you...it's...me. I...just remembered something...But I'm okay now!" Lucy said, wiping her face with the back of her hand. She blinked a couple of times, reminding herself to talk to Rafe again. And then she smiled up at Fyo.

He. Did. Not. Like. This.
Fyo blinked, then nodded. This... unsettled him a bit. He really didn't know how to handle girls when they were unhappy. Well, he could handle Brody, but she was his rock. "If you say so," he said quietly, giving her something of a brotherly pat on the back. "This class has been such a whirlwind."

He really didn't know what else to say.
Lucy noticed that Fyo seemed...a bit uncomfortable. Sooo, Lucy decided to act like nothing happened and play it cool.
She smiled as he patted her on the back
"Yeah, it has been. I can't till it's over!" Lucy said with her old chuckle. Rafe would have to wait.
Seriously. Livvy chuckled and just shook her head. "Who comes up with these recipes?" she asked, sighing as she stared at the cauldron and poked her wand gently at the fire, bringing it to a simmer. Livvy had a feeling that she was forgetting something. But what was she forgetting? BLEH. Professor Kaziwhatever had told them something earlier but she hadn't really been paying attention to what his words were.
"OHWAIT. I think we're forgetting something. OH! OH!" Without another word, Livvy stood up from her seat abruptly and made her way towards the potion cupboard. Of course. Of course. She was soooooooo stupid. Livvy opened up the cupboard and retrieved a phial of the swan blood. Seriously. What was up with all this gross stuff?
BLEH. Livvy made her way back to their workstation and she held up the phial. "Swan blood. Joyful, ain't it?" she said rather sarcastically as she took off the cork. She slowly and gently tipped the phial and watched as a single drop of the swan blood fell into the cauldron. Mhmmm... so close to finishing.
Livvy held onto the stirring stick once more and stirred the potion until the swan blood was well blended into the rest of the potion. "NOW, we're done. Phew. Finally."
Samson had just started to relax and watch as the potion finished, and it wafted more strawberries and cream scents. Suddenly, Livvy had to stand up and distract him. He almost fell out of his chair. Ah Meeeh.
And eww. More blood! Nooo! And this time it was swan blood. Geez, what was this world coming to? What was the deal with blood anyway. He looked at Livvy curiously, tilting his head to one side. "Done? Sooo. What happens now?"

As if he didn't know.
Blink. Well wasn't THAT an awkward position? Livvy couldn't help but notice the position that Samson was in as he sat in his chair. Part of his body flopping down and the other part trying to grasp onto the chair. Awwwwkkwaard. She just gave him a very weird glance at his very weird position.
OKAY. Anyway. They were done now. Good.
"Well... Samson. I believe we drink it," Livvy said humorously yet bitterly. Oh great. She picked up the spoon and took a scoop of it. Meh meh. "UHH... wanna go first?" she asked Samson cheerfully and hopefully. PLEASEGOFIRST. Livvy was afraid of what might overcome her.
Bella looked around and saw a guy scowling
well he doesnt like this at all.but who would like it anyways? she thought
but i am going to and ask him if he could drink this potion she thought.she was firm and she was doing this for her class.she got up and walked to the guy.she hadnt seen him before.
maybe a first year.
arggg...god! i am going to give a first year a love potion.how embarassing is that? she thought but nevertheless walked and stood next to him and cleared her throat
um...hi.i am Isabella fom Ravenclaw she introduced herself.always manners comes first even if your going to ask that person to drink your love potion.she internally rolled her eyes.
um...i know this is a bit weird she said looking around at her classmates
but i guess we are all doing this for our class. she said
um....so if no one has asked you to drink a love potion yet,could drink mine? Bella said.
God! i am sounding so stupid.no doubt love makes people go stupid she thought but waited for the guy to reply.
Arrick looked like Bella suggested he drink a vatful of sludgy poison--he'd gone both pink to his freckles and green from disgust at the same time, turning his face a very peculiar shade. He was saved from a reply, however, when the professor spoke.

"You ernt need to jump off a cliff onto a bunch of sharp rocks t'know it'll kill you," Arrick muttered to nobody in particular. And yes, love was dangerous. Intense emotions were dangerous and lead people to do crazy things--as most of his classmates demonstrated. The Gryffindor boy and his Slytherin friend got themselves into a right tangle, they did.

"Well then how d'you fix it if you know you've been poisoned?" Arrick asked, though memories of the previous potions class answered that for him and clicked together. "...Oh. S'that's why we did that balmy thing last class, brewing antidotes while poisoned, ernt it?" Suddenly everything was making far more sense....in a twisted way.
The proverbal lightbulb over Arrick's head was a sight to behold. For the first time in his first year at Hogwarts, he understood something.

Bella was hurt by the look the guy gave her.she waited for him to finish talking to the professor.
after he was done she turned and spoke to him clearly in low voice you know what there is always a polite way of saying no to people instead of making a disgusting face she said its not as if i am dying to make you fall in love with me its for the class i am doing.if you dont want to try it you can say that she continued slightly hurt and angered.she turned around and walked to her own place and sat down.

Samson glanced back at Livvy as she glanced at him. Weeeeird.
Anywayyy.
Um. Um. "Ummm." Samson stared at the spoon Livvy was holding out to him. It was like he was 5 years old all over again. His mom forcing icky medicine down his throat and not wanting him to drink water after it and not letting him spit it out and him just trying to stomach it, no matter how much he hated it.
But wait. He wasn't 5 anymore. He was 18 now! And Livvy wasn't his mom. So he had every right to refuse.
"Uh. Ladies first," he offered with a nervous grin, pushing the spoon towards her. "Go on."
Lucy noticed that Fyo seemed...a bit uncomfortable. Sooo, Lucy decided to act like nothing happened and play it cool.
She smiled as he patted her on the back
"Yeah, it has been. I can't till it's over!" Lucy said with her old chuckle. Rafe would have to wait.
Neither could he.
NEITHER COULD HE.
Fyo nodded, then looked at the rest of the classroom. There was still a bit of chaos in here but, for the greater part, the "fights" had lost their momentum. Thank God, that had been crazy - of course, at the moment they had been at their best, he had been too taken up by Lucy to notice.
NOT good.
"Reckon what we'll get for homework ..." he said, more to himself than anyone else. Because homework was... his thing.

Take iiiitt. Takkke it. If they weren't in class and if they had known each other, Livvy would've shoved the potion into Samson's mouth already. But they WERE in class, sadly. And they HADN'T known each other before this horrible and dooming day. So Livvy was unable to force Samson to drink it first. Instead, she held the spoon towards him stupidly, knowing full well that he would probably make HER go first.
BLEEEHHH. Save her.
Grrr.... Livvy scowled at the boy. "You stink," she added in quickly before she stared at the spoon, nervously. Maybe she should fake sickness or something. Or just faint randomly. Right? That could work.
Oh screw it. If she dies she dies.
Taking a deep breath, she placed the spoon in between her lips and took a BIG gulp. At first. Livvy felt nothing. In fact. She was just rather confused. Did it work? Had they done something wrong? Where was she? And then Livvy glanced over at the boy next to her. Oh. My. MY. What a handsome boy. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach and she smiled sweetly. What were they doing again? She wanted to get to know him. She wanted to put her hand in his. She wanted him to be her BOYFRIEND.

Marie did not like being in the middle of a love triangle at all, even if it wasn't real love. Grabbing one of the phials the professor was passing around she quickly drank down the antidote. "YUCK, that stuff is nasty." Almost instatntly she started to feel the effects of the love potion wearing off. She no longer felt anger towards Kay for saying she was in love with Evan or jealousy towards Evan for saying he loved Kay. She no longer felt like she loved Evan herself. 'Oh no, did I actually tell that boy that I loved him?' she thought suddenly feeling a little bit embarrassed "Hey you two, are you going to drink this or are you going to stay in love with each other the rest of the day?" Marie asked as she handed each of them a phial of the antidote.
Looking at Evan now Marie could see how it would be easy to fall in love with him, he was rather sweet and sort of handsome but she was glad she didn't think she was in love with him anymore.
"Professor, I don't think I would use it on anyone and I know I don't want to ever feel its effects again. It is great to feel loved and to love someone but it is wrong to force that love against someones will. In the end it will only cause more harm than good." Marie did want to fall in love some day but she wanted it to be true love, the sort of love that comes naturally and she certainly didn't want it to happem when she was only 12 years old.
Marie did not like being in the middle of a love triangle at all, even if it wasn't real love. Grabbing one of the phials the professor was passing around she quickly drank down the antidote. "YUCK, that stuff is nasty." Almost instatntly she started to feel the effects of the love potion wearing off. She no longer felt anger towards Kay for saying she was in love with Evan or jealousy towards Evan for saying he loved Kay. She no longer felt like she loved Evan herself. 'Oh no, did I actually tell that boy that I loved him?' she thought suddenly feeling a little bit embarrassed "Hey you two, are you going to drink this or are you going to stay in love with each other the rest of the day?" Marie asked as she handed each of them a phial of the antidote.

Kay just looked at Marie. Why wouldn't she want to be in love. Evan was great, loving, beautiful. "Why wouldn't I love the man in front of me. He is everything I ever wanted." Kay said. She watched as Mraie took her phail. She handed Kay one of them and told her to finish this. "Well if Evan wnats too." Kay said opening the little phail. Kay drank the potions and felt her warm feeling going away. "I don't think I like this feeling." kay all of a sudden felt sad and unwanted. She thought of the loss of her parents and wanted to cry. "I think I would never want do this again." Kay turn to look at the professor. "Sir, I would never put a friend or family member through this. Its just wrong. How could someone play with others feeling like that." Kay sat down in her chair and waited for the feel to past.

Not expecting an answer back though, Evelyn looked up to Destiny when she asked about it. Hmm...Destiny... she would definitely have to have a talk with her later.
Keeping the scowl off of her face though, she was just about to answer her back when the Professor started to speak again. Of course love potions were easy to obtain, and especially easy for Evelyn to get them. Just ask any of her tutors. In fact... glancing up to the potion on their table, she watched the Professor out of the corner of her eye, passing around little phials of potion to the people who drank the love potion. When he came around to them, she took one and looked down to Josh. How in the world was she going to give it to him when he was sleeping?
Okay, so she was going to wait for a little while, until class ended, to give it to him. He looked too cute sleeping to wake him up. Hearing another discussion question coming up, she thought about the use of love potions. Never on friends or loved ones, but mostly on enemies. "Couldn't you use it for like, a distraction or something? Say like, you were kidnapped, you could use it on whoever took you and possibly escape because then they would do anything for you, right?"'Or you could use it to get tutors fired.' she continued in her mind.
''I'm sooooooooo tired'' told the Gryffindor boy as he lay on the floor of the dungeon class. A moment ago he could tell he had been so happy, like the happiest person in the world, he was even happy to lay here but now it was feeling less pleasurable lying on the floor because it started to feel cold. COLD! Something he disliked on the other hand helped him to realise what kind of a stupidity he had been doing: cold dungeon floor, lying on it, at the middle of a class, while the professor was walking around. He might stomp on it and he'd be long gone into the coldness! ''Whoa cold, cold!'' With these thought he opened his eyes and stood up on his feet after two or three balancing problems. Once he was done his eyes seached the class for Destiny.

Fyo nodded, then looked at the rest of the classroom. There was still a bit of chaos in here but, for the greater part, the "fights" had lost their momentum. Thank God, that had been crazy - of course, at the moment they had been at their best, he had been too taken up by Lucy to notice.
NOT good.
"Reckon what we'll get for homework ..." he said, more to himself than anyone else. Because homework was... his thing.
Lucy chuckled.
"Yeh, I hope it's not too hard..." She said, examining the room around her.

Destiny saw Josh start to stand up, but lose his balance a few times. 'He's gonna get me!' Not really wanting Josh to get her or wanting Evelyn to punch her, Destiny ducked under the table as fast as she could. Did he see her?

When a basket came floating down the aisles, LouAnn leaned over and grabbed one of the tubes inside. She carefully lifted the phial to her mouth and drank, erasing the effects of the love potion little by little. Once it was all down, LouAnn made a slight face..."Ewww, it is bitter," she stated, glancing over at Copernicus. Ohh, Copernicus...how embarrassing to face him after she'd just been infatuated with him. At least she could take comfort in the fact that he knew she'd been under the influence of a love potion.
She raised her hand to respond to the professor's question. "Absolutely not. I wouldn't like to be loved by someone simply because they were forced to love me due to a potion. I hope that my friends and family love me for who I am without the influence of some outside force," she said. "Love only matters when it's real anyway."
Take iiiitt. Takkke it. If they weren't in class and if they had known each other, Livvy would've shoved the potion into Samson's mouth already. But they WERE in class, sadly. And they HADN'T known each other before this horrible and dooming day. So Livvy was unable to force Samson to drink it first. Instead, she held the spoon towards him stupidly, knowing full well that he would probably make HER go first.
BLEEEHHH. Save her.
Grrr.... Livvy scowled at the boy. "You stink," she added in quickly before she stared at the spoon, nervously. Maybe she should fake sickness or something. Or just faint randomly. Right? That could work.
Oh screw it. If she dies she dies.
Taking a deep breath, she placed the spoon in between her lips and took a BIG gulp. At first. Livvy felt nothing. In fact. She was just rather confused. Did it work? Had they done something wrong? Where was she? And then Livvy glanced over at the boy next to her. Oh. My. MY. What a handsome boy. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach and she smiled sweetly. What were they doing again? She wanted to get to know him. She wanted to put her hand in his. She wanted him to be her BOYFRIEND.
Samson won! Woot! He didn't have to take the stupid potion. Hooraaah.
"And I don't stink," he said quickly before Livvy put the spoon to her lips. Ooh. The potion was down! Anticipating the worst, he leaned forward towards her and watched her reaction with wide, anxious eyes.
Well?
So far, she looked normal, and he was quite disappointed. He actually thought their potion would work. Maybe they did something wrong. Or it had a weird side effect, cos Livvy wasn't at all talking. After another while, he decided to wave his hand in front of her face. "Heeey. You there?" he asked here in a sing-song voice. He was half amused, half confused.

Mhmm.... the cute boy. Livvy said nothing as she stared at him in a daze. She said nothing to Samson as her heart raced at the sight of him. How could she have not known that he had existed before today? With his looks... his intelligence... his brain power... that sort of guy couldn't just go invisible and ignored right under her own eyes.
Oh. His voice. So... so beautiful. Livvy smiled and blushed. "Of course I'm here, silly," she laughed, rather forcefully. She wanted him to like her. He would right? A girl like her... why WOULDN'T he like her. "Samson... you charming boy... oh. Are you thirsty?"
Somehow, she had gotten an idea into her head. The idea that her future boyfriend was thirsty. VERY thirsty. And as his future girlfriend, she had to provide something to quench such a powerful thirst. Blinded by her new infatuation for Samson, Livvy had forgotten why they were in the Potions classroom and what was in the cauldron before them. Her senses seemed to have completely vanished and it seemed 'okay' for her to give Samson some random liquid to drink.
"Don't worry Samson, darling! I'll take care of it," she said, cheerfully and leaned closer to her 'boyfriend' and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. EEP. The first time she kissed a BOOYYYY. (Thanks to the love potion.) Giggling giddily, Livvy picked up the spoon and scooped up some of the potion. "Now honey... this will take care of your thirst." And with that, she leaned in quickly and shoved the spoon forcefully into Samson's mouth. "Driiiinnk up!" Livvy said in a sing-song voice.

Well, so much for the potion not working.
SUrprised, Samson nearly fell out of his chair again as Livvy made her advance. Charming? Darling? Honey? Where was all of this coming from? Confused and rather freaked out by the sudden change, he gulped and slowly started to back away.
"Uh. Hehe. N-no thanks! I'm good. I'm good," he said nervously, and a little too unconvincingly. Poo. His eyes travelled to her hand, to the spoon, to the cauldron, and back to Livvy. Uh-oh. The professor had said that their partners needn't be the ones they 'fell' for as soon as the love potion took effect. But apparently, here was Livvy, eyeing him.AND KISSING HIS CHEEK. Agh agh agh! Hastily, he wiped the burning trace of the kiss of his cheek as though it were incriminating evidence that would get him jailed. He had to keep in mind that it was just a love potion. But, Merlin, it was like tweenaged crazy-ness all over again. The fangirls, the chasing, the forcing liquid down his throat...
Oh wait. There was never any of the last bit, but it sure was happening now. And before he could stand up and get away, the spoon was already in his mouth. "LIVVY, I'M NOT--" the spoon had now emptied its contents into his mouth, caressing his throat as it slid down like liquid silk. On his last few moments of sanity, Samson tried to spit out the potion, but too late. No sign of the potion. Oh, Livvy would get it now. GRRR--
Blink.
His pupils were now dilated, and he felt rather light headed. He blinked again, and there before him was the most beautiful angel he had ever laid eyes on. And he knew that he knew her name. SCORE!
Immediately, he scooted over to her and grabbed her hand. Why was he so far away? Hmph. "Livvyyy," he cooed.
Dun worry Nabs, Garret still has a place in Livvy's heart. ;P

Mhm? Sure? Get the drink in her honey poo's mouth! Livvy hardly paid any attention to what Samson was saying and the reaction to what she had been doing to him. It was just a slight setback. He was just confused and scared that she would leave him for someone else. Definitely. Trying to show her the treatment she'd receive if that ever happened... but have no fear... Samson's lover is here! Livvy would NEVER leave such a handsome thing like Samson. NEVER.
She just simply watched and smiled at Samson as he drank the potion up. Good boy! Livvy felt satisfied that she had been able to get rid of the HORRIBLE thirst that her poor boyfriend had been experiencing. What would he DO without her? He'd die. Yes he would. His love for her and the pain of her not being with him would kill him. She was sure of it.
Amazing how much a love potion could affect a person.
And... awww.... SEEEEE. Livvy knew Samson loved her. Her cheeks grew warm and turned into a shade of red as she watched Samson under her eyelashes, as he scooted closer to her and took his hand in his. SQUEEE. Livvy wanted to squeal with joy. They were HOLDING HANDS! OHMYGAWSH. She was afraid that she just might hyperventilate.
"Sammmmsoooonnn," Livvy cooed in return. "You adorable little thing. Almost made me think that you didn't WANT me anymore!" she exclaimed, pouting as her bottom lip wibbled a bit. She let go of Samson's hand, unwillingly, so she was able to wrap her arms around the boy.

If Sane!Samson had an outer body experience right now and would see this, he would most definitely have gone after Issy so she could see, and then beat Lovepotioned!Samson to a lifeless pulp. Rawr.
However, there was none of that happening.
Lovepotioned!Samson stared all googly-eyed at Livvy, intertwining their fingers as he did. "What?" He was genuinely shocked at what she said. "Me, not want you? Perish the thought! I would die without you." And the moment Livvy let go of his hand, he actually felt like he was just about to die. But luckily she wrapped her arms around him immediately. He almost gurgled.
Instead of making a fool out of himself though, he just wrapped his arms around Livvy in return, and lay his cheek on her head. "Mmm. Your hair smells nice," he said almost incoherently.

If Livvy's sensed had returned, she would be horrified at what was being exchanged between her and some... boy... that she had just met today! And to think that she had KISSED him. She had been saving up all her affection to give to Garret. Oh poo. But see... Livvy's senses HADN'T returned and there was no Garret to fight for her.. or... try to knock some sense into her, though on a side note... she wouldn't have minded being Garret's partner if he had been attending this lesson.
EEEEPPP. Samson... aww... so adorable. He was so beautiful. What a gorgeous guy. Why hadn't she noticed him sooner? So many wasted years. But it didn't matter anymore. For now they knew each other and now they were in LOVE. Ahhhh....
He would die? Livvy knew it. The words made her heart race and she smiled and looked up into his eyes with a dazed stare. She could just look at him all day. "Oh Samson... you're so sweet. I know I couldn't live without you either!" she said, sniffing at the mere thought of it. No. That would never happen to them. Livvy wouldn't allow any sort of separation.
She smiled to herself, feeling so comfortable, when Samson placed his head against hers. It felt like paradise. They were meant to be. Their fingers lined up perfectly alongside each other and their heads fitted against each other so snugly.
