HARRY POTTER AND THE INFACUATION NATION.

CHAPTER ONE

HEARTBREAK

Every day was a struggle. Each and every day Harry Potter had to watch the girl he loved kissing someone else, hugging someone else. It was slowley killing him and had, for sure, already broken his heart. He sat on one of the corridor benches and gazed up and down the stone hallway, it was nearly empty apart from a few students; including one of his friends, Cormac Mclaggen, who was flirting with a Ravenclaw Stacey Gibbs (who didnt have a great reputation). There was also another one of his friends standing by an alcove, it was Pansy Parkinson. She had come over to keep him company earlier but he just wanted to be alone. He had tried at least a thousand times to catch her eye or to ask her out... or even to break her and her boyfriend up! But nothing had work and the hole in Harry's heart was slowley but surely getting bigger. Ginny Weasley popped up in most of his dreams. Every night she was there, and she was always popping up in ways that made him grateful her brother Ron Weasley was unable to preform Legilimency. Harry's thought slipped elsewhere, he thought of Ginny. He could smell her, he could sense she was near and he suddenly realised he was closing his eyes. Feeling like an idiot, he immediatley opened them again, only to see Ginny sitting next to him, giving him a puzzled look.

"Are you alright? You look... thoughtful." Ginny asked politley. Harry could of died of embarressment as he realised what he must of looked like. Before he could make himself look even more stupid, he replied.

"Yeah, yeah. Im fine, thanks." He stuttered awkwardly and looked away, wishing he could be anywhere but there. Harry did like being there with her though, he could smell her flowery scent, which probably came from the perfume that stupid Dean gave her for her 15th birthday. He all of a sudden felt angry.

"Anyway, I was just walking past when I saw you so, i thought i'd say hi." Ginny said politley and smiled at him. Harry just nodded. He hated talking to her because whatever came out of his mouth he knew would be idiotic, at least he didnt think Ginny thought the same thing. They talked for a while but soon Ginny had to leave again, leaving him alone in the now completley empty hallway. Harry glanced around, dissapointed of Ginny's departure. Eventually, he decided to get up and find some of his friends. And hopefully, he would bump into Ginny on the way.

It was quite in the Slytherin courtyard but that was the best way. There were a few first years sitting on the steps and one seventh year dangling a young Gryffindor by the foot and stealing his lunch money. A few giggling girls walked through briefley, sharing images on their phones and most likely gossiping about the most good looking guys in the school. Pansy Parkinson had made her way their at least ten minutes ago and had sat on her favourite bench in the courtyard. She liked it alot because it had the best view. Not of the scenery or of the beautiful school, but because of the hot Slytherin guys. Most of the boys were reasonably good looking in that house and Pansy didnt mind watching them for half an hour. Pansy was flicking through some boring text books and was trying to focus on some studying, afterall sixth year was probably going to have lots of tests so best to be prepared.

The courtyard was relaxing and quiet and that was why Pansy liked it so much. There was no one to bother her or no one to make her feel worse than she already did. Every time she sat on that bench she didnt just hope for hot guys, she wished that her best friend Draco Malfoy would be there. He was her favourite and she had taken a liking to him since... well, since she could remember. She hardly saw him nowadays as he was always too busy doing some reluctant work for the Dark Lord. Pansy detested the idea of him being a Death Eater but at the end of the day, he didnt really have a choice and if he was being forced to do these things then she thought that maybe he might need someone. Astoria Greengrass was one of Pansy's best friends, although Pansy didnt quite like her as much as the others, but she wasnt very helpful when it came to heartbreak. The most Astoria could help her with was fashion tips or make up advice, which Pansy didnt really want. Draco was a difficult lad to impress. It seemed as though he needed someone absoloutley perfect, which he probably wouldnt get at Hogwarts school. No one was good enough for him.

She continued to read her book, hoping that someone she didnt mind talking to would come along.

Dean Thomas wasnt an amusing guy. He was probably the most boring person Ginny Weasley had ever met. As she sat there talking to him, she really thought she was going to fall asleep right there and then. And she was very tempted. Ginny's thought wondered of to Harry Potter, the boy she had loved and loved deeply for a few years now. Ginny had said to herself that he was nothing but her older brother and that she was over him but he kept sneaking back into her head. As she looked at Dean, she wondered what he was saying, she hadnt been paying much attention to what he was saying and now Ginny was completley lost. Harry kept on coming back and she wished that he was the one talking to her now, the one holding her hands and playing with her hair. Ginny shrugged this thought away and tried to listen to Dean again. All she could see was Harry, he was sitting there infront of her and she was listening intently to his sweet voice. He was talking about how he loved her. Saying how much he wanted to hold her, how he wanted to lie next to her and kiss her on the head. Kiss her eyes...

"I love you too, Harry..." Ginny sighed, without realising that she had said it out loud and Dean was now looking at her suspiciously.

"Im sorry? What did you just say?" He asked, frowning intnently at her. Ginny immediatley snapped into attention and looked at him, thinking of a excuse that would be suitable and believable.

"Uhh, umm. I said I love you...Dean!" Ginny exclaimed and stood up, "Im gonna just go to bed now, okay?" Without waiting for his reply, she stood up and hurriedly ran up to the girls dormitory, leaving Dean confused and alone. Ginny slammed the door behind her and sat on her cosy bed, she was surprised to see her best friend, Katie Bell staring at her, shocked. Katie was sitting on her own bed with a closed magazine in her hands.

"Are you okay, Ginny?" Katie said quizingly and sat up. Ginny looked at her and shrugged.

"Yeah, im alright," Ginny answered and sighed, "you?" Katie also shrugged and sat next to Ginny on her bed. It seemed as though Katie always knew when something was wrong and she knew how to handle it, especially when it was Ginny.

"Come on, what is it? You know I can help," Katie said, "thats what im here for."

Ginny looked at her, giving in. "Okay. I have come to the conclusion, that I am not over Harry Potter."

The Slytherin common room was quite busy, it seemed like the only person who was misssing was Pansy Parkinson. Astoria Greengrass was flirting with the usual desperate guy, Daphne Greengrass, who was Astoria's sister, was sitting alone at a table doing her make up. Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were busy scaring money out of the first years, Eli Nott and Blaise Zabini were on Eli's Nintendo on a stupid Mario game and Draco Malfoy and Bertha Crabbe were sitting on the sofa. Bertha was talking to him about God knows what when his mind was elsewhere.

"So, I asked my mum if she could buy me that Expedition film on DVD and she said yes!" Bertha said proudly, expecting him to be pleased for her. Draco did not reply so Bertha waved her chubby hand infront of his face, trying to get his attention.

"What?" Draco said, he had obviously just snapped out of a trance. Bertha folded her arms and frowned at him, he had been acting weird since the very start of sixth year. Bertha knew that he had been forced to become a Death Eater, but she was afraid that it would not last long, one slip up and he could be killed.

"Uhh... Did you hear what I was saying?" Bertha asked.

"No. What did you say?" Draco replied, still not looking at her.

"My mum's going to buy me the Expedition on DVD. Cool huh?" She repeated and opened a Defence Against the Dark Arts text book, she flicked through the pages, skipping every boring word.

"Oh, that film sucked." Draco said, remembering the previous Transfuguration lesson where they had been watching a film about Transfigurators.

"Surely, you jest?" Bertha gasped and hit him on the arm. Draco didnt say anything, he was once again thinking to himself. He wasnt thinking about the task he had been set by the Dark Lord, he wasnt thinking about his five page essay that was due in the next day either. Instead he was wondering where Pansy was, the only person he could actually enjure a conversation with. Pansy hardly ever left his side normally but she had gone somewhere today and he didnt know where. He tried to tell himself that he wasnt worried about her, Hogwarts was a big school and she could be anywhere so he pushed her to the back of his mind, with the things he didnt care about like homework... or his family. Only, he did care about Pansy and he was just kidding himself.

Harry Potter sat alone in the Great Hall on a Saturday morning slowley eating the unappatizing toast that was placed infront of him. The Great Hall wasnt too busy, but all Harry could hear was the comforting noises of low voices and knifes and forks clanging against plates. He had arrived for breakfast early, in order to avoid the hustle and bustle of the noisy breakfast queue. The peace did not last long as many students soon filed into the hall and sat at their house tables next to their friends or other halfs. Harry was joined by the usual; Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, Katie Bell, Nigel Wespurt and their other quidditch player ladies man friend, Cormac Mclaggen, who was once extremley angry that Harry had given up the position of keeper to Ron but had finally gotten over it.

Harry watched Ginny as she chewed her breakfast slowley. She was so attarctive... he always thought that and he always wondered what it would be like to kiss her but he had this certain feeling in his stomach that that would never happen. Ginny looked at him and smiled, although she looked slightly confused.

"Are you alright?" Ginny wondered and placed her hand on his shoulder. He glanced at her hand and back into her green eyes. He just wanted to hold her, he just wanted to kiss her all day long where no one would interupt them and they would be totally alone.

"Uhh, yeah. Sorry, I was just thinking." Harry's voice trailed off and he looked away from his friends and over at the other tables, where he saw some Slytherin boys pointing and laughing at him, he tried to ignore them and looked at the teachers at the end of the Great Hall. Ron was eating very quickly, which earned him a few glances from the surrounding Gryffindors, especially Lavender Brown, who had been watching him all through breakfast and ever since he had entered the Great Hall. Without warning, she scurried over to them and tapped Ron on the shoulder. He quickly turned to look at her and frowned in dissapointed.

"Hello Won Won." Lavender giggled, Hermione and Katie looked at eachother with a look of annoyance, how they despised that voice and that nick name.

"Uhh... Hi." Ron said awkwardly and continued eating his food. Lavender giggled a little more and scurried away with a bunch of sixth year girls. Ron shrugged as though he had no idea of what had just happened. Hermione rolled her eyes and frowned over at Lavender, who was still looking at Ron as though she was in some sort of trance. The morning rolled on as they moved from place to place, from courtyard to courtyard. Harry had spent most of his boring day, watching Ginny as she talked with Katie and Pipsqueak. She had looked so radiant during the day and her hair had looked so smooth. Her skin also looked irresistably smooth but he had snapped out of his trances and got on with his day.

Eventually night time approached, which was Harry's favourite part of the day by far as it was one of the times he could sit back and relax in the warm common room with the rest of his Gryffindor friends. As they sat around the fireplace Katie and Hermione were talking about what had happened during the day. After a buzz of conversation, Hermione finally turned to Harry.

"Harry, I dont mean to impose but... you've been rather quiet today," she pointed out, "do you want to tell me whats wrong?" Harry looked at her and shook his head.

"Nah, im fine," he said rather cheerily, "just thinking about how im gonna get all that homework done in such a small amount of time." Hermione nodded in understanding and patted him on the knee. She turned back to Katie and they continued their deep conversation.

As the night sky grew evermore darker, the Slytherin common room grew quieter and quieter every minute. Students filed out continuously until there was only Pansy Parkinson sat on a comfertable sofa, with a cup of butterbeer. She quietly sipped her drink while flicking throught her new Herbology book, Many Plants and Potions brewed. She was quite resistant to buy it but, as she took Herbology for one of her options, Pansy had figured it would help her with her N.E.W.T exams at the end of the year. Thoughts whirled through her head (they were mostly about Draco Malfoy) she tried to sort them all out, really decide what she wanted to do about her situation. When Pansy was only a little girl, she had always dreamed of falling in love with a perfect guy, someone who she would love her forever and who would always love her in return. But she never knew how painful love really was. Pansy had this picture perfect scene of getting married nad being happy, that was all a load of tripe. Ever since she had excepted the fact she loved Draco, she had been miserable. It was like she knew for a fact it would always be this way, no ones ever truly happy.

Soon enough, she was joined by a sleepy Daphne Greengrass, who lazily trudged downstairs in her pyjamas and took a seat next to Pansy, one of her best friends. Daphne leaned closer to Pansy in order to read the contents of the book, although with the size of her brain she would be finding it difficult to read the first sentence.

"Watcha doing?" Daphne asked, with a yawn. Pansy averted her gaze to Daphne, who now looked suddenly wide awake and was staring at her, smiling.

"Uhh, im just reading this stupid Herbology book. You know, for my exams?" Pansy explained with a weak smile. Daphne nodded.

"So... Any luck with Draco?" She asked, she was still grinning, which confused Pansy because of the depressing topic she had chosen. Sometimes Pansy wondered how she had the intelligence to change her facial expressions.

"Not to well, but whatever," Pansy said, "I should just move on." Her voice trailed off and her eyes moved to the entrance, hoping that Draco would enter as she hadnt seen him throughout the whole day.

"Okay," Daphne beamed, "arent you gonna go to bed? Its about midnight." Pansy shrugged and brushed her long chocolate, brown hair from her shoulder. It was nearing one o' clock when they decided to head upstairs and into the girls dormitory, Daphne had convinced her and although still reluctant, they went to bed. Pansy would of been quite scared in her bed. The room was almost pitch black and she could hear the faint noises of footsteps and creaking floorboards, but the comforting sounds of the other girls breathing and quietly snoring kept her feeling safe. Over and over again she thought of her and Draco together, what a good couple they would make. She kept these thought in her head until she slowley drifted into a sleep, hoping she would dream of him.
