"Bwuhahah! Finally, that foolish boy will be under my power! No one will be able to compete with me when I hand over the Boy Who Lived to the Dark Lord!" Lucius Malfoy allowed a brief display of fiendish glee to spread over his aristocratic feature.

"Dear, if you don't hurry, Hogwarts is going to be out by the time you get there."

Lucius swung around, snarling, ready to hex whoever had so foolishly interrupted his gleeful musings. He drew up short when he saw whom it was that was leaning ever so elegantly in the doorway.

"Narcissa." He let some of his disdain seep into the name. Unfortunately, due to circumstances he was unaware of, Narcissa was not in the mood to be pushed around. In fact, she was feeling decidedly…domineering… at the moment.

"Dear Lord, Lucius. If you stood up any straighter, people might start thinking you kept a spare cane in your ass." Her eyes snapped at him as he opened his mouth to respond viciously. "And will you refrain from making that face in public, Dear? It only enforces that unfortunate image."

Lucius frowned in confusion. Something seemed distinctly odd about Narcissa today…

"Dear, have you been out riding?"

"What?"

Lucius gestured to the black leather-riding crop she was holding in her left hand.

Narcissa glanced at it in mild surprise. "Oops." She looked up at him, and smiled. "Yes, yes. I have just been *riding*."

For some reason, Lucius felt an odd shiver go down his spine. Narcissa was definitely behaving oddly. Perhaps one of her socials didn't go as planned? Before he could dwell too deeply on the subject, Narcissa interrupted his musing once more.

"Now," She began flicking the crop against the side of her thigh. "are you sure you are prepared to do this?"

"Yes, yes. Of course I am sure! The plan is flawless, and will reap me great rewards and fame! The Dark Lord will-"

She cut him off.

"And it was Severus who made the potion, was it not? You didn't buy it off some cheap Knockturn alley dealer, did you? Because it must be perfect!"

"Yes, I know, dear! I asked Severus for it at the last Death Eater meeting, and he promised me it would make 'anyone fall in love with anything that breathed' it is so powerful. It was really kind of him, considering the whole pink bunny suit incident…"

Narcissa smiled confidently. "Well, he is the greatest Potions Master of our time, is he not? Of course he would make it perfectly."

Lucius favored her with an evil smirk. "Yes, and it is perfect, isn't it?"

"And now all you have to do is be sure that you are the first one the Potter boy sees…"

"And he will willingly follow me straight into Voldemort's arms." Lucius finished happily.

"Eww. Mental picture."

"What?"

"Nothing, darling."

"Oh. Ok."

"Now, Lucius, you have to be off to Hogwarts!"

"See you, my dear!"

And Lucius apparated from the spot.

********************************************

Lucius grumbled to himself as he walked along the side of the Hogwarts Lake. He hated having to walk. Goddamn anti-apparation wards.

He fished inside the pocket that held the love potion, going over the plan in his head once more. First, he would find the boy, Potter. Then, he would pour the potion on the boy, making sure that he was the only person Potter could see. After all, it wouldn't do for Potter to fall in love with someone like say, that Longbottom creature. Or even, and here he snickered to himself at the sheer absurdity, Draco.

Aw, he could picture his son's face right now. Imagine, everybody's hero falling for the son of a Death Eater! It was beyond amusing!

But back to the plan. Then, finally, Lucius would lead the love-struck hero right into Voldemort's arms.

Come to think of it, that did sound weird.

Something across the lake suddenly caught his attention. Lucius froze, worried that some adventuring student had caught a glimpse of him. But no, it was just a waving tentacle from the Giant Squid.

Lucius snorted to himself and started walking again. He had nothing to fear from a *squid*, after all. But he kept his eye on it. After all, better safe than sorry.

Unfortunately for Lucius, at the very moment that he finally got a hold of the vial, an overly excitable tree root had taken it into its limited mind that it would be exceedingly amusing to trip the fancy looking pedestrian.

Lucius tripped right over it, falling onto his face and smashing the vial in his hand, and drenching it with fluid.

"Oh, dear." Was Lucius' last coherent thought. Then all dissolved into happy pink bubbles.

The Giant Squid seemed to wink at him.

********************************************

"Is there nothing you can do?"

Dumbledore looked sympathetically at the grieving Narcissa, despite a suspicious twinkle in his eyes.

"I'm afraid not, Mrs. Malfoy. Severus has assured me that there is simply no way to break a love potion that powerful. You will simply have to let it run its course."

Narcissa looked to be on the verge of tears again.

"But he… he…"

********************************************

BACK AT THE LAKE

"Oh my love, is there not anything I can do for you?"

"Bloop.*"

Lucius sighed in happiness at the tender declaration of love.

"Thank you, darling! But really, I want to do something…"

"Bloop.**"

"Oh, you silly! You shouldn't say such things!"

"BLOOP!***"

"Really now, I must insist! We aren't even engaged yet…"

"BLOOP! BLOOP!****"

"What? But this is so sudden… I mean, we have barely even met…"

********************************************

Harry Potter stared at the man standing in front of the lake in complete shock.

"What the bloody hell is he doing?"

"I think it just proposed to him, if you were listening, Mr. Potter."

"But… but…"

"Eloquent as always, Mr. Potter."

Harry turned and glared at his professor.

"But all it is saying is 'bloop'!"

"Well, you can't expect a squid to verbalize its every emotion. Really, Mr. Potter. I would expect more understanding out of someone your age."

"Oh, really? Do you know what 'bloop' means, then?"

"As a matter of fact, I do."

Harry suddenly felt an overpowering urge to take a step back from his professor, as the most evil grin was spreading over his face. Harry suddenly was very happy Snape didn't smile more often. But Harry wasn't going to step down.

"Well, what does it mean?"

"It means," And here an odd, frightening, light came into Snape's eyes. "It means that I am going to have a very good time at the next Death Eater meeting." And with that he swept towards the castle.

Draco Malfoy stepped out from behind a tree, frowning.

"I don't think I like it when Snape is happy."

Harry shivered theatrically. "Neither do I."

"What is father doing, anyway?"

"Dumbledore said he accidently spilled a love potion all over himself. The giant squid was the first thing he saw."

"How strange."

"Yeah."

Draco stood there for a moment, staring at his father as he attempted to shove an enormous…engagement ring… onto one of the squid's tentacles.

"Now that is just really weird. Why doesn't Snape brew up a antidote?"

"I dunno. Maybe he thinks it is funny?"

"Snape with a sense of humor?"

They both shivered.

"I bet his version of funny involves screaming children."

"Yeah."

They both fell silent as Lucius started showing wedding planners magazines to the

squid.

"Say, Harry?"

"What?"

"Wanna go shag?"

"Excellent notion, Draco. I don't think I can take much more of this."

"Great."

********************************************

Snape stalked down the halls, robes billowing dramatically. Hehe, no antidote indeed. Snape could brew any antidote for any potion in existence, but he certainly wasn't going to tell anyone that. He wanted to watch Lucius suffer for a while first…After all, it had been Lucius who had transfigured his robes into a bunny suit at the last Death Eater meeting… he just knew it…

********************************************

In the lake, the squid desperately pleaded for help. Sadly, the only thing people could hear was 'bloop.*****'

********************************************

AFTERWORDS

It took twelve highly trained Aurors to finally pry Lucius Malfoy away from the Giant Squid when they realized that the potion was not wearing off. Snape was finally forced to brew an antidote. The Giant Squid finally found a translator and thanked the Aurors profusely afterwards, and no charges are currently being pressed. Lucius still does not know that his son is gay. Severus Snape has taunted him for several days now, and Voldemort found the story highly amusing, even forgiving him the loss of Harry Potter.
