The headlines in the Daily Prophet stunned Hermione.

War Heroine to Wed Another of the Golden Trio!

She went ballistic. Throwing Floo powder into the fireplace, she called the Burrow.

"Molly, is Ron there? Do you know anything about the headlines in the Prophet today? No? Okay, when Ron gets home, tell him to kiss his arse goodbye." She closed the connection before Molly could reply.

Her next Floo call was to the Prophet. That resulted in a devout promise to retract the story immediately. The language Ms. Granger used made it clear that she was more than just slightly upset.

The minute she closed the connection to the Prophet, there was a knock at her door. The sound of the deep baritone voice had her throwing the door open at once.

"Viktor! It isn't true! Ron has lost his mind. I am going to hex him into the next century. What have you got in that box?" She kissed him hello and reached for the box.

He shook his head, replying, "This was on your doorstep. It is not a good thing, love. I detected a curse. The person who opens the box will fall madly in love with the next person he sees. This was obviously left for you by Weasley. Shall we turn the tables on him?"

Hermione looked at her grinning lover and began to giggle. She knew his devious mind had already concocted the perfect way to get back at Ron.

The wrappings on the box became a different colour, the shape of the box altered; it was now masquerading as a box of lager, all with only a wave of Viktor's wand.

"Now, love, what do we want him to fall in love with? Something, or someone, completely embarrassing, I trust." Viktor suppressed his amusement, barely.

Hermione dug through the DVDs her parents had brought over for her to watch. With a triumphant, "Yes! This one," she waved a case in front of Viktor's face.

"Rocky Horror Picture Show? This will be embarrassing? I do not understand?" Viktor was confused.

Hermione was giggling madly as she set the DVD into the machine. She grabbed the remote and dragged Viktor into the bedroom where she Disillusioned them both.

Within minutes, Ron Weasley eased open the door and entered the flat. He looked around for Hermione and spied the unopened box of lager. The second he opened the box, Hermione turned the DVD player on to the spot in the movie where Dr. Frank N. Furter is singing Sweet Transvestite. The look on Ron's face was priceless.

He knew he had been tricked, but was helpless to free himself from his own spell.

Viktor and Hermione came back into the room and transfigured Ron's clothing to match the costume on the screen. And Ron suddenly began to sing along with the movie. He was really getting into it.

Viktor and Hermione sat down to enjoy the show.

Hermione Diggory said:

1) Hermione is completely stunned when she comes across an article announcing her engagement (to the character of your choice) in the Daily Prophet. It's news to her! Who is behind this and what are they up to?

2) Viktor intercepts and confiscates a cursed object intended for a dear friend. Then it's time for a little poetic justice, Bulgarian-style!

3) Ron discovers 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' and becomes just a teensy bit... obsessed.
