Harry, Ron, and Hermione enjoy their first few days back in classes such as Runes and Defense, though they continue to feel guilty about dropping Care. Snape tries his hand at interior decorating, and Slughorn discovers that Harry has indeed inherited his mother’s talent for Potions. Alice and Martha are thrilled to discuss the titular chapter of the book, whose name proves to be even more apt on a reread.

I didn’t notice the flowery scent either on first reading so I’m glad that I’m not the only one!!
