Ginny Weasley looked at Harry as if he were mad, she looked around only to realise that nearly everyone in the Gryffindor common room was staring at Harry and at her. Ginny immediately began to blush bright red and without uttering a single word to Harry she turned around and ran straight up the stairs heading towards the girl's dormitory.

Harry went to follow her forgetting that he could not go in the girl's dormitory but before he had even got to the stairs someone had grabbed him around the middle and was holding him back. "LET GO" shouted Harry but the person would not let Harry go. Harry turned around to see who the person was and was surprised to see it was Ron. Hermione was stood next to him looking positively horrified and Harry completely forgot about Ginny for a second. It was then that Harry seemed to regain a little bit of self control; he was not very pleased however when he saw that everybody had been watching him make a fool of himself. "Shows over now people" said Harry bitterly "You can get on with your lives now" Some people turned away at this point but others merely looked at Harry curiously "Or" said Harry beginning to get cross "For those of you who aren't fortunate to have a life you can go to the library and study" Everybody turned away at this point knowing that it would be silly to continue to stare at Harry any longer. When Harry turned towards Ron and Hermione he was surprised to see that Hermione looked slightly angry but then he remember she was probably upset about his last comment concerning the library and not having a life.

"You don't really like her Harry" said Hermione, Ron nodded his head to agree with her "How can you say that?" said Harry "I'm in love with her" Ron turned slightly red at this point, Harry realised this may have been because Ron was Ginny's brother and quite over protective of her. Ron looked as if he was about to say something when Hermione let out a loud gasp "Erm I've just realised" said Hermione "I've forgotten to take……I mean I've left my Defence against the darks art homework upstairs" with that Hermione turned around and ran upstairs to the girl's dormitory; this suddenly seemed to remind Harry of Ginny and Ron must have realised this too.

"Harry you are not in love" said Ron "it's just a spell" Harry looked at him a moment then nodded "I guess your right" said Harry, Ron looked slightly disappointed "You know I'm probably the only person in the school who doesn't know who my secret admirer is!" said Ron. Harry grinned at Ron mischievously "I know who your secret admirer is" said Harry

Ron looked at Harry suspiciously "You're just saying that to wind me up" said Ron, Harry shook his head and grinned "and I should tell you" began Harry "That your secret admirer really does like you" Ron looked puzzled "What do you mean?" said Ron. Harry looked around to make sure they would not be over heard; "It's………" began Harry but before he could finish Hermione had ran over to rejoin them. "What are you two talking about?" she asked suspiciously, Harry looked over at Ron "We were just talking about how this valentine's spell has got out of hand" said Ron quickly. Hermione seemed satisfied with this answer; she nodded, "I know what you mean" she said "Everybody thinks they are really in love with someone when they are not; it's absolutely ridiculous" Harry and Ron just nodded in agreement. "We are going to be late for history of magic" said Hermione "Hurry up"

Hermione hurried off ahead of them out of the portrait hole and Harry and Ron followed suit. Harry kept a little behind Hermione so he could talk to Ron without her hearing him "So whose my secret admirer?" said Ron before Harry could say anything. Harry looked at Hermione who he noticed had slowed down a bit so she could over hear their conversation. "Not now" said Harry and Ron looked a bit disappointed. Harry moved closer to Ron so he would not be over heard by Hermione who was now walking so slowly so that she could overhear there conversation she was praticaily at a stand still. "Listen You know how I said I was on about black mailing Snape?" whispeared Harry "well I have finally figured out how I am going to do it"

Unknown to Harry and Ron Hermione was making no attempt to over hear their conversation; the reason while she was now walking slowly was because she was lost in her own thoughts.

'I am not in love with him' thought Hermione 'it's just because of magic.'

Hermione really wanted to believe this but a voice at the back of her head was still saying ' but you loved him before. Besides you know the magic doesn't affect you anyway'

End of chapter 7

Title of next chapter: Secrets and Lies

"I love you too" said Ron "But I don't want to do anything in case it's just because of the spell" she looked at him tears streaming down her eyes "I've tried so hard not to love you" she said and with that she turned and ran out the door.
