-1Chapter 10: Love Potion

Malfoy sniggered in disbelief as Ron put his arm round Hermione's shoulders. Harry's mouth was just about to come of its hinges it was so far open, And Ehlonna was in giggle fits. The Slytherins, Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and even a few Gryffindors were in hysterical fits of laughter over Hermione and Ron's state. Hermione was completely scarlet, trying to pull Ron off her.

" Let go Ronald!" She hissed sharply, but Ron stayed attached to her shoulder. Hermione stood up, pushing Ron off her. She turned and swiftly left the great hall, followed by Ron who was yelling in a sing-song voice:

" Oh Hunny-bun! Wait for me! Hermy-Wermy! Wait!" The last nickname caused hall the hall to double over in laughter. The teachers couldn't really do anything because no one knew who had done it. Well, no one but a small group of Slytherins, but they weren't going to snitch on a Gryffindor this time!

" Oh God, Ehlonna, I gotta hand it to you; that was pretty good for a member of the Scar Patrol!" Malfoy smirked. She smiled, opening her mouth to answer but she stopped. He called me Ehlonna…Not Woodie…Not Bristlewood…Not even MudBlood…But Ehlonna… Parkinson seemed to pick up on it to, judging by the look she shot at her. Zabini smiled.

" I wish we thought of that. That would have been so funny of we gave Crabbe one and set him on Goyle!" Crabbe's head jerked up.

" Hey!"

" Hermy-Wermy…That's rich!" Malfoy sighed, biting into a slice of toast. Ehlonna felt happier. She had got her own back. She smiled as she picked up a slice of toast, and ate it hungrily.

To Hermione++++++++++++++++++++

Hermione ran to the common room, tears starting to spring in the corner of her eyes. She had never been so humiliated in all her life. She could hear Ron still yelling for her to stop. She shouted the password at the Fat Lady and sprinted inside, running to the girls Dormitory where Ron couldn't get to her. She passed the open box Of Weasley-Wizard-Wheezes, and up the stairs, Ron just coming through the Portrait hole. She flung herself on her bed, letting tears fall down her still burning cheeks.

" I'm going to kill Ron! How could he do this to me! I-" She stopped. Something in her mind just clicked. Weasley-Wizard-Wheezes…

To Ehlonna Again!+++++++++++++++++++

Ehlonna did feel a little bad for Hermione, but she was sure she had stopped Ron from getting to her by now. She was sitting with the Slytherin's in the Tree. They had actually let her sit with them this time. Crabbe and Goyle still giggled if they mentioned Hermione's face. She even noticed how Malfoy had gone out of his way to sit next to her, as did Parkinson, who tried to squash between them…and failed. Malfoy had given her a good few swear words in response!

" Do you think Potter looked jealous? Or was it just me?" Zabini smirked.

" Yeah totally, although isn't he going out with that blood traitor?" Goyle said, spearing a look at Ehlonna-- who was trying not to ruin their good mood by protesting that Ginny was still her friend even though she had these dares.

" Yeah, that's what all the girls are saying anyway." Parkinson stated.

Ehlonna remained silent for the rest of the afternoon. It suited her fine, she still really didn't want to talk to them. She felt worse than she had this morning. She had walked past Ron and Harry on the way to dinner, they still didn't know who had done it. Ron was getting teased nearly everywhere he went now: but Hermione wasn't to be seen. The potion wasn't strong enough to last more than an hour anyway. Guilt ate away at her stomach, so she wasn't hungry come lunch. She sat at Slytherin table with a large Defence Against The Dark Arts book, not really reading any of it. She could hear George, Fred, Harry and Ginny defending Ron against the rest of the school;

" It wasn't really him!" Ginny shouted at a mouthy Ravenclaw.

" He was tricked into taking One of Fred and Georges' love potions." Harry growled. Ehlonna gulped. They were starting to figure it out…And she was sure she was prime suspect on their list.

After Dinner the Slytherin's left for their common room, leaving Ehlonna to trudge back to Gryffindor Tower. She wasn't in any hurry. She twisted her wand around in her fingers nervously. What if They all know it was me? What if they never talk to me again? What if I've ruined everything? Ugh…What have I DoneShe groaned, She was a few feet away from the Fat Lady.

" BazzleCroak." She whispered, summoning all her courage. The Portrait door swung open, allowing her entrance to her possible doom.

She kept her gaze at her shoes, afraid that if she caught one of them in the eye she would confess everything.

" Hey Ehlonna!" Her blood froze as she heard Ginny's voice.

" Oh, hey Ginny…" Ehlonna said quietly, lifting her head up to look at her.

" Hi Ehlonna! Malfoy didn't make you do anything horrible today, did he?" Harry's voice sounded strained. Oh-My-God…They SO know…She took her chance at her only escape.

" Erm…No, I'll be fine. Right well, I'm, off to bed! See ya!" She stuttered, practically jumping the stairs.

++++++++++++++++ To Harry+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

He Watched as Ehlonna stumbled up the stairs, making sure she was out of earshot.

" Are you sure it was her? Ehlonna wouldn't do this to us, would she?" Hermione asked in a hushed manor. Ron looked outraged.

" yes Hermione, She would." He said darkly.

" I'm just saying you should think this through before you-"

" Hermione, listen to us! She did it, we know she did."

" But-"

" Dean saw her drop it in Ron's goblet! He was sitting opposite her, so he knows what he's talking about." Hermione's face dropped.

" Oh…" she stuttered, defeated. Ron stood up, eyes flashing.

" Okay… I say we get Ehlonna back…Any ideas?" He growled. He did NOT like what happened this morning. Harry held his head in his hands.

" Well, we could always give her a taste of her own medicine?" He suggested. Ron's face lit up, Hermione furrowed her brow, and Ginny was trying hard not to smile.

+++++++++++++++ Next Morning++++++++++++++++++++++++

( a/n: Like I said, I hate dragging things out lol.)

Ehlonna woke slowly. It was Monday Morning, day three of Malfoy's Dares. She sighed, that meant she didn't have to spend the entire day with just Slytherins. She hauled herself out of her cosy blankets, and noticed that Ginny and Hermione must already be at breakfast. She Yawned as she walked into the Dormitory Bathroom, brushing her hair and teeth.

She pulled her robe on, grateful not to have to wear green or silver! And started to make her way to the door, only to be thrown off balance by a letter that just hit her in the head. She landed with a thump, and moodily ripped the letter open.

Dear Woodie:

Still the same dares! You really are not very good at this are you?

From

Draco

Ehlonna stared at the Parchment in her hands. How in the name of Merlin am I meant to wear Slytherin Colours on a Monday??? Do the words ' Lessons,' and 'McGonagall' Mean anything to Him?!

She growled lowly, and hurried down to breakfast in the fear of being late.

Ehlonna took her seat opposite Malfoy on the Slytherin table, Noticing the glare that Ron had given her. Well, he gives me that glare every time I sit over here…She thought, trying to convince herself they still hadn't figured it out yet. Ehlonna pushed it to the back of her mind, and started to nibble at a slice of toast.

" Hey Mudblood, I thought you had to wear Slytherin colours today?" Jeered Goyle. Ehlonna threw a fork at him-- just missing his ear. Malfoy hadn't noticed the lack of Green and Silver in her wardrobe until Goyle had to go and blab it.

" Good point Goyle." Sneered Malfoy, " Where is your green and silver Ehlonna?"

" Come on Draco! Its Monday! I cant change into Slytherin clothes without getting detention of McGonagall!" Ehlonna said desperately. Malfoy stopped and thought for a minute. He surprised everyone by un-pinning the Slytherin Prefect badge from his robe and tossing it to her.

" Take that then," He said " The professors wont notice, and your still keeping your dares up." Ehlonna blushed as she gently did the badge up.

" Can I have your attention please?" Came Professor Dumbledore's voice from the stand at the front of the Great Hall. Everyone turned to him. " Good Morning, I hope you all had a good weekend and are looking forward to some hard work this week! Now, this week's task is very simple: All year 5 has to do is gather the most house points! it's a fairly simple job, I agree, But-" He was interrupted by a sudden yell:

" I LOVE YOU EHLONNA!"

Dun-Dun-Dun! Lol, sorry, this chapter was more of a build up to the next one where tensions in the groups are going to run high! Now, you have a choice: Who do you want to fall in 'love' with Ehlonna for the next Chapter:

Malfoy ( what will happen when Slytherins Prince falls in 'Love'?)

Zabini ( What will Malfoy do when he sees his best friend coming on to Ehlonna?)

Well, I cant give you a sneak peek this time, but plz R&R:3
