Other Uses For Veritaserum (3)

The next day Hermione's head was on a cloud. In charms, (which unfortunately Gryffindor had
with Slytherin this time around) they were learning the Falofealus Charm, which made the person unable to
follow their truest feelings. Everyone was shocked, because this was the first charm Hermione couldn't do.
She just wasn't concentrating. Finally, she got so mad at Malfoy's snide remarks, she put a charm on him to
turn his hair purple. Flitwick immediately removed it, and took 10 points from Gryffindor and 5 from
Slytherin. Little did Hermione know that after class, Malfoy got his revenge.

She was walking past him and didn't notice him point his wand at her and mutter, "Falofealus!"
he gave a cold laugh. "That'll teach that filty, dirty, mudblood to mess with a Malfoy." None of the other
Gryffindors noticed this either, as they were too busy praising Hermione for turning Malfoys hair purple.

Later that afternoon, Fred came up to her again. "Hermione, look, I understand about what you
said last night but-"

Hermione interrupted, "Fred, listen. Forget what I said. I would love to date you! I don't
know what I was thinking last night!"

Fred grinned. "Great! But, how about we keep this quiet for awhile. I think Ron might fancy
you a little, and I don't want to hurt him. Not just yet."

"I couldn't agree with you more! See ya later!" and Hermione hurried off to Transfiguration.
On the way there, Ron stopped her.

"Hermione, could I talk to you? In private?"

"Sure!" They stepped aside. "What's up?"

"Well, I just realized something today. In Flitwick's class, I was scared you'd be able to put
the Falofealus CHarm on me. I was scared of what I might do. Hermione, I like you. Alot." He stared at
his feet during the akward silence that followed. "Well, I was wondering... would you be my girlfriend?'

"Of course, Ron!" she exclaimed. BUt during class, she started to realize what she had done.
After class, she walked up to Ron. "Erm... Ron? Do you think we could keep "us" quiet for awhile? I
don't want to hurt Fred. OK?"

"Ok, sweetie."

"And Ron?"

"Yeah?"

"One more thing-"

"Yeah?"

"Don't call me sweetie! See you at dinner!" He smiled, and she walked off. Little did she know
that wasn't all the trouble Malfoy's charm would cause her. On the way to dinner in the Great Hall, Harry
pulled her into an empty classroom.

"Hermione, I need to talk to you. Remember on the train, when I had my choice to kiss you or
GInny? And I chose Ginny? Well, THat was just to cover up that I liked you. And I just wanted to tell
you. I hope you aren't all weirded out or anything..."

"Not at all, Harry! I like you too!!!"

"Really? So... does that mean we're a couple?"

"Certainly!" just then, the realization came about again. "But, let's keep it quiet for awhile,
ok?"

"Whatever you want. See you at dinner." He kissed her and walked out of the room.

"Bloody Hell," Hermione thought. "Why do I keep doing this? Oh jeeze..."

That night, at 4 AM, Everyone met in the common room again, for another round of Truth or Dare.

"GInny, your turn to pick," George said.

"OK... ummmmm... Hermione!! Truth or Dare?"

"Dare." said Hermione, not wanting to reveal who she was dating accidentally- since all three of
them were staring at her.

"I'm awful at thinking up dares. Ok, this isn't very "daring", but I'm hungry. Go down to the
kitchen and get some sweets!"

"No problem," said Hermione, glad for a chance to leave the room for awhile. "Neville, pick
someone for me." She left the room.

"Okay, Harry. Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"Okay.... ummm.... if you could date anyone in this whole school, who would it be?"

He took a drop of Veritaserum and said, "THis is supposed to be a secret, but I'll tell you,
since I have no choice anyways. Hermione and me are dating!"

Ron jumped up. "No, she's my girlfriend! I asked her today!"

Fred joined in the argument, "No, I did!! She's mine!"

They kept shouting back and forth, although trying to keep it somewhat quite, so they wouldn't
wake anyone. A few minutes later, Hermione came through the portait hole with a platter full of eclairs.
Her smiling face vanished. "What's going on?"

"Oh, nothing big," said Harry, "We were just trying to decide if me, Ron, or Fred was your
boyfriend." The room was silent for almost a full minute while everyone stared at Hermione. Then,
her lip started to quiver, and she ran up stairs, bawling.

Yup! That's it for now! PLease r/r!! The next one should be out fairly soon, cause I have an idea of whats
comming next. Hope ya liked it!! xoxo-
