My first piece for the 'Fill the Calendar Challenge' - Write About Lost Love - Harry/Ginny (unrequited).


"I've lost it!" The shrieking voice echoed around the dorms as clothes were flung away from the panicking student.

She had been certain- absolutely, definitely certain- that she had left it beneath her underwear in her trunk, but it wasn't there.

What was she going to do?

"Ginny? Are you okay?" Hermione's mass of curls peaked around the edge of the door to the red-heads dorm, eyeing the frantic girl rummaging through the mess which was her trunk.

"No! I've lost it!" Hermione's eyebrows pulled together as she entered the room fully to get a full view of the chaos the hot-headed ginger had caused. She moved forward to the mountain of personal affects which was building up as the the trunk had been hectically emptied.

"Lost what? Maybe I can help you find it?" An impatient hand brushed back the excess of hair which hurried to block her sight as she leant over to peer into the enormous pile of items.

"It's a potion I have. I need to find it now- I said I'd meet Harry in five minutes!"

Despite the help, Ginny still hadn't located the mysterious potion ten minutes later. Finally giving up and rushing out, she resolved to find it later that night before the effects wore off in the morning.

As the younger girl ran out of the room five minutes later than she planned, she didn't see the faint smirk neatly grace the brunettes lips as she sauntered back to her own dormitory room.

Once safely behind her own doors, Hermione pulled out the unlabelled bottle from her robe pocket and placed it in a safe compartment of her own well organised trunk.

After all the hassle Ginny had gone to try and find it she was now sure that stealing into her trunk was the right thing to do, and that it was the potion she had suspected it of being.

Two weeks later when the youngest Weasley was heart-broken over her lost chance with the great Harry Potter, Hermione's suspicions were irrevocably confirmed and she resolved to subtly reduce her once friend to ash for daring to use a love potion on her best friend.
