The fourth individual gave the other three a weird look, "That's not what I smell at all."

The four exchanged confused glances before making their way to a table in the other corner of the classroom. Once all the class filed in and the bell rang, the lesson began.

"Welcome everyone! Today, we will be brewing an interesting Potion!" Professor Horace Slughorn's voice boomed throughout the room. Whispers were exchanged amongst the students in a ripple. "Can anyone identify this Potion I have here?" He asked, waving his hand to a cauldron sitting upon his desk. The potion gave off a mother of sheen pearl colour. The redhead known as Lily Evans raised her hand.

"Yes, Miss. Evans?" Slughorn asked.

"It's Amortentia, Sir. The most powerful love potion there is." Lily replied in a professional manner.

"Yes, very good, ten points to Gryffindor!" Horace Slughorn boomed.

After some more talking, the students were brewing their potions. Sirius caught word of the conversation of the four individuals that had been confused earlier before.

"So, books and chocolate?" A female with black hair said to the boy with dirty blond hair beside her. "Since when?" She asked teasingly.

"Oh shut up." She got in response. "What type of smoke did you smell?" The male asked, earning a pause before he was met with a response of,

"The fireplace."

"You're lying."

"Fine! It was cigarettes." She mumbled.

"But you're not that fond of cigarettes, that doesn't make any sense."

"I know." The black haired mumbled before perking up, "But last time I checked, you and books were enemies. How come you smelt books?"

"Same reason as you shortie, no idea."

Sirius studied the two individuals. They both were Hufflepuff and seemingly appeared as friends. Before he could get anything else about them, the bell rang and everyone was in a hurry to clean up and leave. Sirius didn't get to see the faces of the two individuals.

Later that night in his dormitory, Sirius secretly pulled out the three letters and read them all again, trying to see if any of them contained any hint as to who was behind all this. But he came up empty handed, earning a disappointed sigh, before he sprang into action.

Sirius began scribbling on a piece of parchment,

Dear Secret Admirer,

I want to know who you are. Your letters have intrigued me and I would like to get to know you better. If you could please reveal yourself to me. If not, at least give a hint into your direction.

Love,

Sirius

Sirius planned on giving this letter when the same owl returned to him with a new letter. Fortunately for him that happened the next day, and after sending off his letter, he read what he'd received,

Dear Sirius,

You know, it's sort of interesting trying to be in the same space as you and not make it obvious. Anyways, I hope you're doing well and it's nice to see you out of the Hospital Wing.

Love,

Your secret admirer

Sirius frowned at that and wondered at what times he could be in the same room as the secret admirer and not know.
