Fred weasley walked into the potions classroom, during fifth year, and sighed, he hated potions.

"Today you will all be brewing Amortentia.  Can any of you tell me what this is?" Snape asked in his monotone voice.

A Ravenclaw girl's hand shot straight up

"The most powerful love potion in the world." She said

"Good.  Ten points to Ravenclaw.  The recipe for this is on Page 91, begin." He said dully

Fred reluctantly grabbed the ingredients, it wasn't that he was bad at potions, he just found it boring.  Finally he had finished it and as part of his report on Amortentia, he had to write what he smelled.  

He leaned over the cauldron and inhaled the smell of books, vanilla shampoo, and a faint musky scent he knew to be Crookshanks.  

In that moment, he realised he was in love with Hermione Jean Granger.  He was terrified at first, he could only tell George.

George tried to convince him to tell her, eventually, Fred agreed to tell her after the battle, but never got the chance to tell her.
