DISCLAIMER: Harry Potter is sitting on my shelf right now.

A/N: -


Hermione Granger had the best sleep in days. Her bed was soft and comfortable, and the moment her head touched the pillow, she had fallen asleep. Now, it was 7AM, and she was wide awake. Having showered and gotten ready for the day, she was now sitting on the armchair that was placed on her side of the Common Room, reading a book.

Hearing the doors slamming upstairs, she knew Draco Malfoy was awake. Closing the book, she stood up and left the Common Room. She wasn't in the mood to interact with Malfoy on any level. So, she decided to head down to the Great Hall for breakfast with Ron, Harry, Ginny and all her other friends. Just as the Portrait closed behind her, Draco walked down the stairs. Glancing around, he grabbed his bag, slung it over his shoulder and headed out of the Common Room. He was hungry, so breakfast was next on the list of things to do today.

Breakfast was a cheery time of the day. And since today was Saturday, there were no classes, and all the students were allowed to spend the day doing whatever they want. After breakfast, Mcgonagall had announced that the Cup for entering names into the Tournament would be set up in the Great Hall from 10AM to 12PM. After that, it'd be too late to sign up. Draco smirked at the mention of signing up.

At 10AM, Hermione followed Harry and Ron into the Great Hall. She had no intention of signing up, but Harry and Ron both wanted to. Ginny did, too. When the four met up in the Hall, Harry, Ron and Ginny crossed the age line and threw folded pieces of paper into the goblet, and the papers instantly lit on fire and dissolved. Just as Hermione walked out of the Hall, she saw Draco walking in with his group of Slytherin friends.

Draco didn't wait for any of his friends to come with him. He walked across the age-line and threw his piece of paper into the goblet, watching with pride as it dissolved.

"I know you're going to get in, Draco," Pansy said, taking hold of his arm, just as Blaise entered his name. Draco nodded and smiled at Pansy. She was annoying at times, but she could come in handy occasionally.

"Come on man, let's go get some fresh air outside," Blaise suggested.


The golden plate in front of Hermione had just vanished.

"Aww, man, I hadn't finished my chicken!" Ron groaned. Hermione smiled at her friend, and then turned to the front of the hall as the goblet was rolled out. It was brightly lit, and Hermione was excited, wondering who would be chosen. Mcgonagall asked for silence, and when it was quiet, she turned to the goblet.

"May the chosen have the best of luck," she said, and then the Goblet shot out flames, just as one piece of paper flew out. Mcgonagall caught it swiftly.

"A champion from Beauxbatons; Gabrielle Delacour!"

Cheers from Hermione, Ron, Harry and Gryffindor table and Beauxbatons students erupted. Gabrielle stood up from her seat and walked up to the stage, where she saw on one of the 6 chairs laid in the middle.

Another paper had now shot out of the Goblet, Mcgonagall once again catching it.

"Durmstrang's champion number one; Jason Dobreva!" A muscular and tall boy stood up and walked to the stage, sitting next to Gabrielle, just as cheers for him erupted.

The next piece of paper came out straight after, and Mcgonagall read it and smiled.

"Hogwarts first champion, Ginny Weasley!" Hermione was so happy for Ginny, as she watched her friend stand up and walk to the stage. The Gryffindor table had the loudest cheers for Ginny. Just as Ginny sat down, Mcgonagall caught another piece of folded paper.

"The second Beauxbatons champion; Luka Delarosa!" A smart-looking boy stood up from the Ravenclaw table joined the other Champions. It was weird, having two champions from each school.

"The second Durmstrang champion; Ari Petrova!" A very small girl stood up and walked quickly to the stage. Though she looked small, she was fast, and she seemed very observant. Her eyes kept shifting from one end of the hall to the other.

"And finally, the second Hogwart champion is…" Macgonagall unfolded the paper, "Draco Malfoy!" The cheers from the Slytherin table were the only ones heard. Draco had a large grin on his face as he stood up and made his way to the stage, sitting next to Ari.


"I can't believe you got in!" Pansy kept saying, as Draco took a seat next to her in Potions on Monday. He had spent the whole weekend with the other champions, going over rules and what not. And when he was not with them, he was with his Slytherin friends, or simply relaxing in the Heads' Common Room. Though, the latter was the least often. He didn't want to have any excuse to bump into Granger.

However, since it was Monday, school classes had resumed. And now, Draco was in double Potions with Gryffindor. From where he sat, he saw Hermione, Harry and Ron sitting on the other side of the room. And for the tiniest fraction of a second, he wished he was sitting with them, instead of with Pansy.

"Now, who knows what the most powerful love potion is?" Slughorn asked, glancing around the class.

Instantly, Hermione's hand shot into the air. "Ahh, yes, Miss Granger?" Hermione beamed at Slughorn, before answering his question.

"Sir, the most powerful love potion is Amortentia," she said, "It causes a powerful infatuation or obsession in the drinker. It has a different aroma to whoever smells it, reminding that person of what they find most attractive. The scent for an individual can be changed over time, depending on who they fall in love with." As she finished, she glanced very briefly at Ron, before turning back to the front, feeling her cheeks warming up slightly.

"Right, right, 10 points to Gryffindor," Slughorn said, "That love potion takes a few weeks to perfect. At least a month or two. Sometimes even three. For this topic's assignment, I'd like you individually to create an Amortentia. The recipes are in your books."

Hermione opened her Potions book, flicked it to the Amortentia page and read through the list. It seemed hard, and very time consuming.

"I will expect your complete potions at the end of the semester," Slughorn said, "You can start whenever you like. Armontetia will never lose its power."

"Hence why it's the greatest love potion ever," Harry muttered, and when the bell rung, the three of them collected their things and headed out to their next class; Herbology.
