The Irresistibility Potion

Chapter 25

The next day at breakfast Hermione and Ginny made their way into the Great Hall and Hermione's eye caught Draco with what looked like a laptop.

Hermione would know this, having been brought up in muggle society, what confused her was that neither Draco nor any students that were brought up in the wizarding world would know how to use one!

"A laptop at Hogwarts? Is that even allowed?" said Ginny.

Hermione frowned, almost asking Ginny how she knew what it was when she remembered Mr Weasley's obsession with all muggle things.

"Where'd you get it then?" asked a nosy little 3rd year Slytherin boy.

"My aunt's Bellatrix Lestrange, she knows people who know people... besides I'm her favourite and only nephew..."

Hermione and Ginny slowly made their way around the Slytherin table where Draco was busy browsing a page on the internet. In big red letters it said; Charming for Dummies.

"How completely predictable..." Ginny commented as they walked past him, she said it loud enough for him to hear and he turned in his chair.

"Predictable, am I?"

Ginny and Hermione turned back around to face him. "Yes Malfoy, let me guess? You're writing a book on how to charm a Slytherin girl? Can't be too difficult then, can it?"

Hermione snapped a shocked look at Ginny. They were, in fact, surrounded by Slytherin girls!

"I'm sure if I wrote a book like that it'd be much longer than one I had to write about you!"

"ENOUGH!" Hermione cried and shot a disapproving look at both Ginny and Draco. "He's not worth it, Ginny." She said in a slight sad tone that made his heart sink. His face dropped.

Hermione grabbed Ginny and pulled her so that they were walking towards the Gryffindor table now.

"Hermione wait!"

Silence - at first. Then gasps were heard in the Great Hall.

Draco breathed loud as if he had just run a marathon, regretting every second of those words escaping his lips...

A look of surprise was written all over Hermione's face.

Ron and Harry even turned in their chairs to see what the commotion was all about.

Hermione turned around and Draco's face went a bright shade of pink, although he was trying very hard to hide it.

Hermione struggled to breath in her shock. He only called her Hermione when she drank the potion. He almost always called her Granger – especially in front of an audience. Everybody knew this and the fact that he just told her to wait was another surprise to everyone, not only her.

"Well?!" she said hurriedly after a moment's silence.

Draco was at lost for words! He didn't know what to say to her, she stood there with her long brown hair and flawless skin and all he wanted to do was apologize. He wanted to tell her how deeply sorry he was for standing her up the previous day, he wanted to explain to her why he didn't make it, he even – heaven forbid – wanted to run up to her and kiss her passionately in the heat of the moment.

Instead, Draco Malfoy said to a very confused Hermione Granger;

"Blaise is in love with Ginny!"

Gasps!

"What?!" Ginny and Blaise cried at the same time. Blaise - half chocking on his orange juice.

Ron jumped up from his chair and Harry pulled him back down again.

"Don't..."

"Relax Ron!"

Hermione glared at Draco. She knew he wanted to say something else. Something involving them, but he was too proud.

She looked down at the ground and shook her head. Draco looked at her with sad eyes. He wanted to say something to her desperately, but he just couldn't. Not in front of everybody.

Luckily for him the audience was now distracted by two blushing people – Blaise and Ginny.

"I am not, you tosspot!" Blaise yelled as he wiped the orange juice off of his mouth and nose.

Draco sighed to himself and turned back to the table to face his laptop.

"Yes you are." He said and closed the laptop.

Ginny and Hermione stormed off together to the Gryffindor table – Draco was watching her every move. Draco wished lightning could just strike him there.

"Why the hell would you say that?!" Blaise said mid-tantrum next to Draco.

Draco just kept quiet and noticed that Pansy didn't make it to breakfast, as her seat stayed empty this whole time and there was no loud chuckle coming from her annoying mouth.

"Where's Parkinson?" he changed the subject.

Blaise lost his temper and punched Draco full-on on his shoulder.

"Ouch you bloody mental case!"

"I have a right mind to tell everyone that you're in love with..." Draco held Blaise's mouth shut and opened a video clip on the laptop that showed a clearly high on cannabis Blaise and Ginny frolicking around on the grass.

"MMMMM!" Blaise cried in panic as he ripped Draco's hand away from his mouth.

"Bloody stalker, you are!" he said when his mouth was set free.

"One word Zabini!" Draco threatened.

At the Gryffindor table it was all whispers and shocking expressions. "Why, I have a right mind to set his head on fire!"

"Oh Ron, shut it!" said Hermione as she got to her seat, Ginny sitting next to her.

"Not going for a Slytherin now, are ya Ginny?" asked Seamus Finnigan from a distance.

"No!" she said in clear disgust. "Not that it has anything to do with you Seamus!"

Seamus realised it was a bit rude of him to comment and looked quite embarrassed afterwards. "Ginny, if he was much as touches you..."

"I can take care of myself Ronald Weasley, thank you very much!" she said in a bit of a harsh tone. Ron shrugged and sat back in his chair, suddenly not eating at all.

Hermione looked up at Draco who was glaring at her through his white-blonde hair as he sat with his head slightly down, ashamed of what had just happened.

Zacharius Smith always seemed like a bit of a rebel... Pansy thought.

He was very intelligent and a bit cocky, but much too tame to be a Slytherin, but she always thought he was a bit too rebellious to be a Hufflepuff.

He too didn't make it to breakfast and was sitting in the library, doing some sort of research with lots of books surrounding the table he was sitting at.

Pansy peered at him through the bookshelf. She glared until he noticed her looking at him, then she would giggle to herself and look away – only to look back at him and repeat.

Eventually he got up and walked to her slowly... obviously her method of seduction worked.

"Parkinson, is it?" he asked as he rested his back against the bookshelf, looking at her.

"Naturally..." she said and flicked her hair while keeping his gaze.

"Zacharius Smith." He said and pulled his hand out to her. She shook it. "I know who you are."

For a moment they kept quiet.

"Looking for something particular? You've been standing here for a while..."

She giggled. "Well other than glaring at you..." she said all confidently "...I was looking for the recipe for Polyjuice Potion... do you know which book I could find it in?"

He nodded and walked to a book at the end of the bookshelf.

He handed her Advanced Potions Made Easy.

"Thank you sweetheart." She said and kissed him lightly on the cheek and winked at him as she pulled away.

Revenge was finally Pansy Parkinson's!

"Listen, I'm not normally one to complain..." said Moaning Mertyl, sitting next to Pansy on the bathroom floor as she mixed ingredients together. This resulted in an eye-roll from Pansy. "Really 'Moaning' Mertyl? I would never have guessed!"

Meryl grinned slightly. "No, but I really think this is a bad idea."

"You should have thought of that before you made me the ugliest thing to set foot in Hogwarts!"

"Listen you incompetent little witch! It was a mistake!"

"I know..." said Pansy as she shook the potion in the flask she had brought along. "...but you are going to make up for that mistake!"

With that Pansy cleared all her things and put them into a bag. She told Mertyl what to do and she went off to the Slytherin common room. There sat Draco and his three trusty followers. Crabbe, Goyle and Blaise.

"Draco you'd better head to the prefect's bathroom... Granger's conquering up some spell to get you to fall for her again." She said sarcastically.

Draco looked up at her.

"Very funny Parkinson!"

"If you don't believe me, go ask Mertyl yourself."

Draco rolled his eyes and went back to listening to some story about how Goyle's father jinxed an Auror. It seemed after a while that the story was getting old and way too long and interrupted them by telling them he was going to look for inspiration for his book.

Pansy overheard this as she lay on the big green couch, pretending to be asleep.

Draco glanced over to see if she was sleeping and when the coast seemed clear, he thought he might just go check in the bathroom if Hermione was really there. Just in case.

Pansy grinned to herself.

"Oh Draco Malfoy... you are way too gullible..." she whispered to herself in delight.
