Chapter 17

"All right, we're back with the stuff you wanted…" Ron began as he entered the common room.

He and Harry dropped the many packets and glass containers they had been holding making a rather large mess on the floor.

For the first sight that met their eyes was that of Cupid and Hermione calmly playing a game of chess.

"No…" Harry stuttered. "No… NO!!!!"

"It's not that big of a deal…" Hermione began, but she was interrupted by Ron and Harry shouting.

"WE HAD TO WALK ALL THE WAY THERE FOR NO REASON!!" They sobbed.

"Honestly, you two!" Hermione said angrily, stealing a line from something else that I can't remember. Probably The Mummy. Yeah, maybe Evie said that… What? The story? Oh. Right.

The argument stopped in time for all three of them to realize that Cupid was sneeking off. 

"I don't think so!" Hermione said, grabbing him by the tail and yanking him towards her. "You still have to tell us how to fix this mess!"

Cupid sighed. This time you get to pick an accent for him! "Fine. There are three ways actually. One is indeed a counterpotion…"

Ron and Harry looked at eachother, and at the mess of ingredients on the floor before crying again. Hermione thwapped them both.

"Two, you can just let it wear off…"

Harry and Ron were about to start sobbing yet again, but Hermione gave them a warning look and held up her hand threateningly.

"Or three, you can make them really really hyper by some crazy spell that was basically made up by you…"

They all stared before responding. "How convenient…"

"FRIEND HERMIONE!" A squeaky voice called from the portrait hole.

"Shniddle? What are you doing here?"

The adorable little elf hugged her around the knees. "Friend Hermione must come quick! You must see!" He tugged on her hand.

"All right, calm down." She motioned for the other three to follow her. Cupid eyed Shniddle in distaste, but followed anyway, eager to see what had gotten the house elf so excited.

*     *     *

"Look!" Shniddle cried, pointing anxiously at two people who were laying on the ground.

These two people happened to be our not so happy couple.

"Oh thank God!" Ginny said at the same time Draco said "Oh no!"

The trio instantly set about the usual squinting and glaring at Draco.

"Honestly, you two!" Hermione said, forgetting completely that she had already said that in this chappy and it could be copyrighted for all the author knows.

"Please help me up!" Ginny wailed. "I've been stuck here for so long! I can't move, I feel so… icky and… ugh." She slumped back.

"It hasn't exactly been a picnic for me either!" Draco retorted, and fell back as well.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione stared for a long time, a good long time before…

"WOOOOOHOOOOO!!"
