Author's Note:
This is a short passage describing what I would smell if I ever were to smell a magical Love Potion created in the Harry Potter Movies. Most of what I would smell goes beyond context and into memories. I am focusing on word choice.
If I were to be given a magical love potion, what would I smell? I would smell a fresh, new, leather jacket, the smell of latex floating off of balloons, the smell of wet grass sweeping through concrete streets, sharp scented apple lotion, and the smell of chalk so strong I can almost taste it.
I would smell a leather jacket because it reminds me of my grandpa before he started acting older. Then, I would smell latex coming off balloons because my favorite thing to do is make people smile and the one object that can make anyone smile is a balloon. Also, I would smell wet grass because it reminds me of my house in Indiana, that my sister and I just adored. Next, I would smell apple lotion because, as weird as it may seem, reminds me of my cousins that I don't get to see too often. Lastly, I would smell chalk because it reminds me of when I did gymnastics and the joy it gave me when I was little.
What would you smell if you had the chance to be given one of these Love Potions?
