Chapter 10:Potions in the system

James and Sirius were sitting in the Common Room of the Founders Tower and were laughing at a prank that they retold with the fire roaring loudly when a mess of black hair walked into the room. Harry. James turned away from his friend and looked into the innocent and nervous eyes of his son.

"Hello son. I assume that you are here to talk to us about something?" James guessed, gesturing to a seat infront of him and Sirius. Harry nodded his head slowly as he went and sat in the chair. Harry had no idea how to start this conversation. He bit his lip anxiously as he replayed the conversation with his dad and godfather in his head that he created. It was at this point that Sirius decided to put the kid out of his misery and asked him a question.

"Is this about Hermione?"

Harry sat back, shocked. He hadn't expected his godfather to be that observant.

Same here.

Again, he nodded his head slowly. Sirius nodded at the boy, a triumphant smirk on his face. James just stared at Sirius, gaping at the shaggy man.

Ha! Shaggy man!

"What?" asked Sirius, brows furrowed at James, wondering what had got his friend in such a state.

James blinked out of his stupor and stammered, "I-I just didn't expect you to be so observant." Of course.

Sirius stared blankly at James. "Great. That's just great. Of course, you wouldn't think I was that smart, would you?" Sirius muttered, annoyed.

"Can we just get back to me and problem?" Harry snapped, shocking the men. "Please." Harry added sweetly.

James and Sirius had a look of guilt on their faces.

Serves them right, always listen to the children.

Somewhere in the castle Luna Lovegood smiled secretly at the commentary running through her head.

Harry started to explain what had happened between him and Hermione whilst James and Sirius listened patiently.

Well that's a first.

"So, what do I do?" The boy asked, an exasperated look on his face.

Sirius sat and contemplated what Harry had said, not quite sure what to do. James on the other hand, jumped straight into questioning his son.

"What did you feel when she kissed you?"

Harry now had a smile on his face as he remembered the feeling. "I felt complete, like I knew that Hermione was the one for me. I knew that I like Hermione but I don't know whether to ask her out."

James smirked as he told Harry to talk with Hermione and find out what she thinks and feels then go from there. Harry nodded in appreciation and headed out to find one of his best friends.

James snapped his fingers infront of Sirius, trying to get his attention. Eventually, he got the attention of the man but a small frown appeared on James' face.

"You miss him, don't you?" James asked Sirius. The other nodded.

Hermione sat in the library when she heard a sound. A squeak. She flipped her head to turn towards the door, her bushy hair whipping around, making her vision impaired as she flicked her hair out of her eyes.

"Hello?" Hermione asked tentatively, getting up from her seat, hoping to find the cause of the small squeak- she did. She bumped into a figure.

It was a girl with extremely blonde hair and a dazed look on her face.

What a happy coincidence you found her Luna. It is almost like you were told where she was then you were told to talk to her. Hmm. I wander who could have given you that information. Very not suspicious.

Luna had a slight smile on her face as she heard the sarcastic tone of Hogwarts in her head. Hermione stared bewildered at the young girl, wondering why she was smiling.

"Hello Hermione." Luna said in a cheery tone.

"Um, hello. Do I know you?" The other girl asked cautiously.

"No." Was the answer Luna gave to the confused witch.

"Is there something you wanted?" Hermione asked after a while. Luna nodded.

"I would like to speak to you." Luna answered and sat down at a table, indicating for the other witch to sit across from her. The other witch complied, albeit a little hesitantly.

"What is it you would like to talk to me about?" Hermione frowned as the other didn't say anything at first but seemed to daydream, making her grey eyes wonder around the room. Something seemed to be crisp in the air as Luna turned her attention to Luna. Was it magic in the air? Or something else?

Whatever it was it seemed to snap the daydreaming witch out of her thoughts.

"The Loraxes are clouding your judgement." Luna stated. Hermione tilted her head as she remembered a book called 'The Lorax'.

Hermione looked weirdly at Luna and tried to explain what a Lorax was but Luna was having none of it. "A Lorax, Hermione, is a creature that can cloud your thoughts over a person, making you not sure of how you feel of them." Then it clicked.

Not sure how you feel about them. Clouding your thoughts. Potions. "Thank you, Luna. I understand now. You are a great friend."

Luna couldn't help but smile at the thought of being Hermione's friend. Things were looking up for the blonde witch.

Madam Pomfrey was having a nice, no hurt children, day when, all of a sudden, the doors flew open, showing Hermione Granger. A very angry Hermione Granger.

"Whatever is the matter?" The matron asked the fuming girl.

"I need to know if someone has slipped me potions or not." The girl asked now worried.

Madam Pomfrey walked into her office, looked through the shelves and found a flushing potion. The matron walked back out and led Hermione to a hospital bed and gave her the potion, telling her to drink it.

Immediately, a piece of parchment came into Madam Pomfrey's hand and writing appeared on it. Hermione suddenly felt a lot better. In her head, she knew she could think things a lot clearer. There had been potions in her system.

A white light glowed around the young witch at the same time as a young boy named Harry ran down a corridor, trying to find Hermione, and they both fell unconscious.

Finally! I was starting to wonder if I needed to use my magic to help all of this mess. What do I mean by using my magic to help this mess, I hear you cry? Well, Hermione and Harry have a special something and Hermione had potions in her system then when there were no potions in her system, something happened. I may have told Luna to tell Hermione about the potions to speed things along a bit. Maybe. But you will never know. Or maybe you will. Maybe. Just a little bit. More than a little bit. But that isn't important, all you need to know is that something big will be explained to them and one person will be in tears and another person will be very, very angry.

A/N: Hey guys! I know this is a very short chapter but I thought it was better than nothing and I don't know why, but I felt that I should write another chapter this week. I know it isn't very good but I didn't really know what I was doing with this chapter as I originally was going to do something different but this idea formed in my head and I ran with it, soooo… Yeah, this is the result of that idea, well start of the idea, and I will elaborate on the idea in the next chapter. Hogwarts seems to be meddling with things but how much is she willing to meddle? Do you guys have an idea who is going to be upset next chapter? If you do then tell me! Please review because when you guys review the chapters it literally makes my day as I look and I see people wanting more of the story! Bye!

Well that was a weird message if I ever heard one!
