I couldn't believe my rotten luck. I just HAD to get stuck with bloody Malfoy while he's doped up on love potion. It wouldn't have been so bad if it had just been for the hour then they had turned him back to normal, but noooo, it had to last until they could brew a reversing potion strong enough for the one we created! This was madness! How could I possibly go about my life with Draco trailing my feet and singing love songs in my ear everywhere I go? I sighed and quickened my pace to the fat lady's portrait as I heard said Slytherin approaching.

"Harry! Harry, Wait!! I have a poem for you!!!" He was getting closer.

"Blood Pops." I hurried into the common room. Ah. Free at last. Or so I thought.

"HARRY POTTER I COULD KILL YOU!" I winced as I cautiously made my way to Hermione.

"Why? I haven't done anything wrong-" I was cut off.

"Haven't done anything wrong? HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG? You call giving Malfoy a love potion so he'll fall instantly in love with you, doing nothing wrong?!!! HAVE YOU GONE MAD? I mean we wouldn't have minded so much if you'd liked him. You could have just told us. Woulda been a shock really but eventually we would have accepted it.."

"What's with all this "we" business, aye? I can't stand Malfoy. I dont think I'd be able to stop myself from personally hexing Harry if he ever fell for that scum. I'd do it just for his own safety even!" Ron cut in. I rolled my eyes.

"Oh, come off it. I didn't do it on purpose. Malfoy never said the incantation. And so now he's in this state and we're waiting on Snape to make a potion to fix it. It's not my fault." I ran a hand through my messy hair and sighed.

"And if I ever do decide to have feelings for him, however unlikely that is, I know now not to ever breathe a word of it to you two!" With that i quickly made my back out of the dorms. I figured facing a love struck Draco was better than dealing with those two right then.

I pulled the Marauder's map from my pocked and scanned it quickly to make sure Draco wasn't around. Although he'd be easier to deal with, I didn't exactly desire running into him. After making sure that he was nowhere around, I made my way to the Black Lake to do some thinking. It was the best place to be when you needed to think. Word had been buzzing around that the students had been chosen to for the muggle trip. And word had been buzzing around that I was one of them. Surprise, surprise. I wasn't looking forward to seeing this rumor come true at all. I hated being in muggle settings. I missed being back in the world of magic, and after only being back in it for a week, I wasn't quite ready to leave it just yet. I settled myself down next to a tree only to jump right back up when I saw Draco approaching. How could he possibly have known I was here? I sighed and began walking away from him.

"Oi, Potter! Wait a moment would you?" he called.

And I stopped. Only because his voice contained not even the tinies hint of love potion affectedness.

I turned to look back at him as he took the last few steps to catch up to me.

"Erm..I wanted to apologize for that incedent in potions. I'm surprised I let something slip like that, but I guess mistakes are made even by the best of us." The corner of his mouth went up in a slight sideways grin.

I was sure he was trying to make a small joke, but I just couldn't bring myself to even acknowledge it. I was too schoked by the fact that Draco Malfoy had just apologized to me. So what did I do? I blinked at him. That's all. I just blinked. He was watching me now. A look of aggrivation on his face. Just as it had been in potions. He looked kinda cute that way. WOAH WAIT STOP WHAT?

'Oooh, and there we have it. The first signs of infatuation. He think's the boy's cute. Ooh so sweet!'

'OH MY DEAR MERLIN, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? How can you possibly find him attractive? HE'S A BOY. AND A MALFOY!!!'

'Shut it. He's known for a while now that he might be gay. And you know that. Now he has proof of it.'

'But..A Malfoy? Why not Ron? Why not Seamus? ANYONE BUT MALFOY!!'

'What would be the point? You know just as well as I do that he's attracted to the one he's meant to hate most..'

"Potter? Problem?" I looked up to see him staring at me, confused.

I shook my head to clear my toughts and replied, "Oh sorry..Uhm It's fine. Don't worry about it. See you." I turned to walk away but, he stopped me.

"What is it?" I asked, looking down to where he had a light grip on my arm.

"I've been hearing things about this muggle trip. And I think we've been chosen. I from my house, and you from yours. Just to let you know. In case you didn't already." He walked away. I sighed. Of course. Had to be us. Why not? Bugger. At that precise moment, an owl came flying up out of nowhere and landed on my shoulder almost knocking me over. I cursed under my breath and took the envelope it was holding out to me. It then pecked me rather roughly on the head and flew away. Bloody bird. I opened the envelope and it confirmed everything.

Dear Mr. Harry Potter,

It is my great pleasure to inform you that you have been chosen for Gryffindor house to attend the Muggle Educational Program. You will be spending three months in a muggle home. The names of the muggles you will be sent to spend these three months with are as follows, Mr. and Mrs. Calloway. And their daughter, Dani.

Thank you for your time, and good luck.

McGonagle.

I crumbled up the note and threw it to the ground. I didn't want to do this! I hated it! I wanted to stay in the magical world. Great. This bites. Just as I was about to head back up to the common room, another olw flew by and dropped yet another envelope atop my head. I took it and read it quickly.

Dear Mr. Harry Potter,

I must inform you that there has been a bit of a problem with the student placement amongst the muggles and you will have to share your temporary home with a student from another house. Thist student will be Draco Malfoy. House, Slytherin.

Thank you.

McGonagle.

I could die. Why was this happening to me?

"Damn you Draco!!" I yelled to the skies. Then felt my stomach do a flip as I realized...

'Oooh, see, he's just said the boy's first name. He never does that. He must be growing rather fond of him.'

'No!! That's not it at all! He just slipped up! HE'S NOT GROWING FOND OF HIM!!'

'Oh, give it a rest already. Let him fall for the young Malfoy. It might be good for him..'

"Oh shut up.." I mumbled to myself as i made my way back to the castle.
